in case you ever wonder if your poasts make a difference, a shitpost this morning reminded me that i have all the ingredients for bagna càuda, so that's what's for dinner

asparagus, broccolis, and whatever crudite i can get my hands on, dipped in hot butter, olive oil, anchovies, and garlic

smoothly transitioning from bourbon to G&T to taper off the workday

@chrisjrn @skinnylatte this is on the webclient, interface might be different on apps

@prettygood 💨 the meme winds are at my back 💨

@prettygood even odds that's a kolektiva user :gurakek:

remember when the u.s. fired the surgeon general because she was honest about abortion, drug legalization, sex education, and masturbation?

@prettygood there's stuff i don't love, but i like the author and i like the world and many of the characters, so i'm on, like, year 15 of reading it every day

on the one hand, i feel like Questionable Content has been a stream of Poochies for maybe four years

on the other hand, i still feel a pang of concern when Jeph draws a liquor bottle because it feels like he's been in a good place for a long time

@prettygood it's a real good one

if you've ever wanted a garlicy gouda in the shape of lit'l smokies, i'm delighted to inform that they exist

@cjust You may enjoy Derek Lowe's Things I Won't Work With:

You run a mixture of oxygen and fluorine through a 700-degree-heating block. "Oh, no you don't," is the common reaction of most chemists to that proposal, ". . .not unless I'm at least a mile away, two miles if I'm downwind." This, folks, is the bracingly direct route to preparing dioxygen difluoride, often referred to in the literature by its evocative formula of FOOF.

be warned: engaging with me will only encourage the infodumping

i almost definitely want to talk about your special interest

tentative weekend plans:

sleeping in the woods
reading
grilled pb&j
maybe finally watching the several movies i keep meaning to

@goatsarah the vibe coders of real life, truly

nothing is understood, nothing is systematic, nothing is expressed or considered, just ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@sinvega i've been packing anything i can't sell in hopes of moving and came across my baby book and a teeny tiny shirt the other day and i would sooner see everything else i own burn than lose them

it's impossible to fathom how wildly unlikely it was to get this on the other side of the iron curtain and i'm still not sure how it happened

@jalefkowit

mask report:

got groceries at a large chain store around 5p

many more masks than usual
four n95+
seven surgicals

standing in line waiting to pay, three of the four people in line are wearing masks

checkout clerk asks the person in front of me to take off their mask because they're buying alcohol

me, loud and fast before i could even think: "HEY, can they just show you their ID instead?"

"Sure, no problem"

Stand up for each other. Don't let little hitlers fuck up your life.

i know it feels bad.

i know it's uncomfortable.

light these fuckers up. tell 'em NO. "If you want me to take off my mask I am happy to leave instead" works. I've backed down store people, doctors, and cops by firmly insisting.

If they keep pushing, tell them you're sick and don't want to get them sick.

PUSH BACK. KEEP FIGHTING.

normalize masking. the shitbags are fighting hard to make it illegal.

IMPOSE COST

Make it uncomfortable FOR THEM

No lectures, no explaining, FIRM NO
