@HauntedOwlbear @stormygleason Definitely not a sitar, it’s a long-necked lute like a baglama, saz, tanbur, or buzuq.

Nice hauntastic clouds around the gibbous moon tonight!

@skinnylatte Would the humor translate at all if someone got a Chinese tattoo that said “you tellin me a shrimp fried this rice”

Two years ago I taught my cat to ring a bell for food. In the first year he only rang it at reasonable meal intervals. Then he started a pattern of ringing but not eating, instead jogging to another room. I took the bell away whenever he did that, and he started rattling dishes purposefully—but not eating. It took me a while to figure out that each time he didn’t eat, he went to look at the drawer where we keep the cat dancer/flirt toys. Now I have to get a different bell for playtime! #Caturday

@schratze Some people on here are hair stylists or brain surgeons, and honestly? Hats off to them.

@futurebird @cwebber There was a movie called A Day Without A Mexican that touched on this idea.

@skinnylatte Random: I used to live in the house of an ayurveda practitioner who collected many recipes she handed out to her clients. I had eaten a delicious dish at an Indian restaurant, so I asked if she had the recipe. She frowned and said “you don’t want that, it’s *South* Indian.”

@skinnylatte @sumisu3 Oh interesting, I have mostly seen it referred to as a nostalgic dish from childhood, but that is in the narrow context of adults talking about comfort food on TV. I guess that doesn’t imply it is “for kids”, just that kids grew up liking it.

@sumisu3 @skinnylatte I saw Tampopo in theaters when it arrived in the US, and the existence of omurice blew my mind. The fact that it was so common a child would ask for it. I fell out of touch with Japanese cinema/TV in the late 90s, so when Asian cooking shows started showing up on Netflix 20+ years later, it blew my mind a second time—what do you mean omurice has been a standard food for decades of children??

I blinked a few times seeing this translation subtitle! I wonder if the original Korean word had a similar modern slang quality?

#pdx #Portland Craft Warehouse in Cedar Hills is closing and everything is about half off. Tons of paint, canvases, pens, fabric, art supplies of all kinds.

@MediaActivist There’s something to explore about kayfabe, politics, and the blurred lines between “just playing a role”, actually believing in the role/story, and believing that success through riling up an audience is all that really matters.
