Man, I wish *I* were a pastel colored very Gay furry living in an apparently post scarcity accepting society. Major bummer.

Reading about Mycenaeans, I’m struck by how the rulers are “wanax,” but lower ranking landowners are called “basileis” (sic).

When I was a kid politics was really different! The right wanted kind of cruel and greedy things, but made it sound good by claiming to be about fiscal responsibility, honesty, and hard work, a little like how the ACW was about states’ rights. And the left who protested, sometimes died, and were ridiculed for wanting to spend money on ideas like “maybe women are human” or “maybe we shouldn’t kill people abroad for no real reason.” BUT NOW times have changed and…

… fuck it, it’s still the same.

Did pre dynastic Egyptians have mastaba schemes before they invented pyramid schemes?

This is new, is anyone else on Heilbird seeing this? Is something broken or is it part of management's push to convince users that they really want to use the paid/verified version of this service?

I live cement
I *HATE* this street
give dirt to me
I bite lament
this human form
where I was born
I now repent

apparently my musical tastes went rapidly to "I don't want to apply for jobs, I want to throw heavy objects"

HOW DOES IT FEEL NOW? IT FEELS FUCKIN' BLIND
WHAT HAVE YOU TAUGHT ME? NOTHING!
LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME, YOUR WORLD HAS TAUGHT ME NOTHING!
AS A WOMAN I WAS TAUGHT TO ALWAYS BE HUNGRY
YOUNG WOMEN ARE WELL ACQUAINTED WITH THIRST!
YEAH WE COULD EAT JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING!
WE MIGHT EVEN EAT YOUR HATE UP LIKE LOVE!

CAN'T STAY AT HOME CAN'T STAY IN SCHOOL
OLD FOLKS SAY, YOU POOR LITTLE FOOL
DOWN THE STREET I'M THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
I'M THE FOX YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!
HELLO DADDY! HELLO MOM!
I'M YOUR CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CHERRY BOMB!

So here's a little of what I worked on earlier today - you've seen these inks before, but I scanned and stitched a batch of #drawings for the first time in at least a year, so that I can hopefully try coloring material for the first time in about a year.

"Oh. So *that's* Sukasa. Look... spiked tea. Now I understand how a provincial official can afford such nice things." #MovieQuote

how 'bout some more BEANS, Mister Taggart?

Okay so; the movie Undercover Brother was sort of a take on Blaxploitation films, from a nicer time in America's dismal race relations. Had a plot where our hero, working for a secret organization fighting The Man, poses as the most blandly assimilated Black dude ever.

The gag was that white people love mayonnaise on everything so, if it got to be too much for our hero, he could use a tiny bottle of hot sauce hidden in his watch to give his food something resembling flavor. Okay, that's about a solid 3 on a 1-5 Mel Brooks scale of ethnic jokes. Me and the ex quoted this gag an okay amount.

Fast forward a bit, and my grandmother has just died, me and the ex are in Florida, and we have just ducked out on a really dismal wake to get some relative quiet and calm (turns out about a half hour before it really goes south).

The hotel room is air conditioned, quiet, and not jammed full of my family in various stages of explosive emotional decompression. We turn on the TV and Paula Deen's on! She's this complete stereotype! She's so white she makes me look INCREDIBLY MIDDLE EASTERN! She's cooking fried chicken with rolls! And sure enough, there's MAYO!

This would have been similar enough to the Undercover Brother gag without the part where, along with suggesting cheerful red checked tablecloths, she suggests each place setting include a tiny, TINY bottle of Tabasco sauce, in case you have guests "who like a little more flavor."

wait, how did Undercover Brother come out in 2002 when my memory related to it is from 2008 or so?

She has a "brand," and that brand is "the same enthusiastic optimism about human nature you get from an exuberantly spattered public bathroom"

recipes I run into while up in the early morning are typically "how to make [nom francais traditionnel] potatoes." "These creamy potatoes sound elaborate but are quite easy to prepare," there's some sort of step to remove excess starch, and there's always a step where you should add butter. No, more butter than that. No, more butter.

Are promises of salted buttery starch clickbait?
