Yay politics. Can I go have an edible and a beer now please?

I’m gonna get home at 9ish and have an entire edible and be a Kuyper Belt object for a few hours

I also loathe that fellow leftists are refusing to vote for Biden over this. Believe me I would rather have the New Deal than rewarmed Clinton administration but again I want to avoid deaths. That situation is THERE; saving Americans from Republicans (and when there’s a Republican president, AMERICANS DIE) is over HERE.

I really REALLY don’t like the Administration’s take on this. Holding out aid is leverage they could use to push for a ceasefire and to me it is clear that Gaza IS a humanitarian crisis, the hostages NEED to be returned, and these people will ALWAYS want us dead, there’s no way the situation will be secure soon. Why not save some lives instead?

Okay, it's apparently now time to listen to the "Combat Drop" music from "Aliens" in hopes it motivates me better to get on the road to see my parents.

@Kusimanse "for some reason all the fat bunny dudes they draw have enormous balls"

Wait so this ISN’T what they meant when they said “draw a MIND HORSE”?

@ziphi okay this is ever so slightly, impressive as fuck!

It’s real funny as long as it ain’t YOUR ethnic group, that’s what you’re saying?

And I mean, there’s not a particular functional difference between a bonfire in Seattle and sitting naked on the beach, fire casting light out to the wine dark Aegean, even if that was long ago.

@eredien https://www.tor.com/2022/01/10/writing-horses-sketching-the-mind-horse/ but I've seen it more used as a drawing trope (draw a horse without reference, and most versions will be pretty off, unless you're like Claire Wendling or Terryl Whitlatch or like that)

@cuddlemelon@mastodon.social sesame oil is worth getting just to have around, it's pretty shelf stable and works great for stuff that's fairly late stage in cooking or no cooking.

your hands get black and your eyes get burned
an your lungs get tired and poor
it draws you in like an opium den
an beacons you back for more
there ain't no air and there ain't no light
and there ain't no way to make it out alive

@cuddlemelon@mastodon.social I usually use olive or vegetable, because they're right next to the stove and sesame oil tends to burn quickly so it's way better used as a dressing/add in on stuff.

https://thewoksoflife.com/hainanese-chicken-rice/ gives exactly NO info on what oil is good, but it does have better ideas about proportion than "eh, just dump a lot of garlic and ginger in, I like garlic and ginger."

@nisima@meow.social Someone posted a very dramatic white wolf face with black speckles to a Telegram group I was in (probably arctic wolf spattered by prey stomach contents, rather than actual colored fur) and I thought, wow that would be a great look for a Coggie.

@nisima@meow.social just 'cause I'm some variety of ace and this hadn't occurred to me doesn't mean people can't think critters I drew are hot.

So YOU are the great Van Helsing! (#drawing partly suggested by Ylfinger)

* more Van Helsing soundtrack *

oh curse this bleak eternal night, relieved only by having four dots in Dominate and three dots in Potence!

@Ylfingr oh man NOW you've said it *starts drawing frantically*

* blasts the Van Helsing soundtrack *

alternates between declaring

1) "BETS! BETS! BUAHAHAHA!"
2) "TRAHNsylVAAAAAYneeya"
3) "I em the LAAAUW."
