@citriz thanks, I kinda need super cute right now.

@WizardOfDocs Fingers crossed this won't come up. I wouldn't wish such a crummy situation on anyone.
@Chiaroscuro wouldn’t kosher salt work better for dehydrating cucumbers, and really be vital for salt baked stuff tho?
It’s wild; I came out of the southeast without the prejudice against Queers, Jews and Blacks that was everywhere in my childhood, I never bought into the HORRIBLE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS thing, I honestly like Zoomers, and I don’t see where I AM prejudiced as a good thing, etc, and to be fair I don’t like or trust police, landlords or insurers.
But the older I get the group I absolutely LOATHE? Is journalists.
@chimerror What set it off today was a screenshot on Bluesky (we spend so much time reminding ourselves of why we left Twitter, it's profoundly pointless) of Musk dickwaving in text, and also a photo of him posing with a katana in front of a flag, and I thought (assuming he's not literally a narcissist) here's someone who would REALLY emotionally benefit from several years of playing Shadowrun to do all the power fantasies *and* learn more about cooperation and communication.
@TheTenuousOrder Winds up being more personally relevant than I thought; my ex REALLY wanted kids, and I was nowhere near as committed to the idea. Despite that disagreement both of us agreed no hypothetical kids would go anywhere NEAR my folks or the ex's mother.
re: food, +
@frost @certifiedperson unix shell?
another thing with the great "young people aren't making babies!" complaint;
Everyone's noticed millenial parents don't really have the resources for kids. But traditionally the answer to "young parents don't have time or energy to keep up with kids" is "and grandparents DO." How many millenials are physically close to, on good terms with and trust their parents?
@anne What an adorable looking game! Is it much fun?
@zebratron2084 happy birthday!
and now the lyrics to Sabotage from memory just to see how much I do remember
IIIIIIIII
CAN'T STAND IT
I KNOW Y'PLANNED IT
I'MA SET STRAIGHT THIS WATERGATE
CAUSE I CAN'T STAND ROCKIN' WHILE I'M IN HEYAH
CAUSE Y'CRYSTAL BALL AIN'T SO CRYSTAL CLEAH
SO WHILE Y'SIT AND WONDER WHY
I GOT THIS FUCKIN' THORN IN MY SIDE
OH MY G-D IT'S A MIRAGE
I'M TELLIN' YOU IT'S SABOTAGE!
SO LISTEN UP CAUSE YOU CAN'T SAY NOTHIN'
I'LL SHUT YOU DOWN WITH A PUSH OF A BUTTON
BUT I'M UP AND I'M GONE
I'M TELLIN' YOU WE KEEP IT ON AND ON!
WHYYYYYYYYYY
OUR BACKS UP AGAINST THE WALL
[can't remember a chunk of it]
CAUSE I CAN'T STAND ROCKIN' WHILE I'M IN THIS PLACE
BECAUSE I FEEL DISGRACE
BECAUSE YOUR ALL IN MY FACE
SO MAKE NO MISTAKES AND SWITCH UP MY CHANNEL
I'M BUDDY RICH WHEN I FLY OFF THE HANDLE
[and that's about where I run out of lyrics memorized]
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
