alcohol 

steeped a cut up madame jeanette pepper in some vodka and made a vodka tom collins outta that

no regrets because it was good as hell, also I'm pretty sure this counts as a cold remedy in some alternate universe, my sinuses are open af

music, no fade 

quick musical exercise in the form of "let's see if I can make goa trance in locrian because phrygian just didn't sound dark enough as it is"

quick loop I guess

food, alcohol mention 

needed something to pick me up after last night's bartending crimes so hey, late night doenjang-jjigae

alcohol 

Experimented with cocktails and made a Madame Jeanette-infused screwdriver. Had to add a little sugar (the orange I used wasn't particularly sweet and the pepper delivered more heat after a scant 15 minutes of steeping than I anticipated) and a little sparkling water to top it off, but otherwise? Honestly, this is good as fuck. It doesn't actually taste like an ordinary screwdriver at all, the pepper's flavor overshadows the orange juice by a good amount, though not completely either - it's still there, just playing second violin.

Mastodon privacy PSA: locked posts and locked accounts (173 words plus image descriptions) 

I have seen this catch out more than one person, so here's how it works:

- The "follower-only" on 🔒 posts means *everyone who follows you*, not (per "Friends-only" on Livejournal) everyone *you* follow. Any rando who follows you can see all your private posts going forward.

- If you want to restrict who can see your follower-only posts in a vanilla Mastodon instance, right now the only available tool is restricting who can follow you, period:
+ In the "Edit profile" settings screen, there is a "Lock account" checkbox (see image one). If you tick that, whenever someone tries to follow you, instead of immediately following, they will show up in the "👥 Follow requests" column linked from the "Getting started" column. (You can also get email notifications - see image two.)
+ If you block someone, they will not be allowed to follow you and be removed from your list of followers. You can also soft-block someone - block and immediately unblock - to remove them from your followers without permanently blocking them.

smooch aliens, honestly

tall aliens, small aliens, nearby aliens, extragalactic aliens, curiously jackal-like aliens, curiously not-jackal-like-at-all aliens

just smooch your fellow denizens of the universe

wait if video games are video james, does that make casual video games video jims

ah yes, re- time

I'm Thaminga! A jackal-like alien from a planet elsewhere in this galaxy, right here on this social network.

I'm horrible postfurry trash, often worldbuild (wrote a massive guide about that once), occasionally draw (not nearly as often as I'd like these days) and make music (which I post snippets of every so often), and enjoy cooking. 💙

Ask me whatever about my homeworld, or anything else you or I happen to be interested in.

Oh, there's also blimps. Sometimes.

anyway haha today sucks time to disappear into the kitchen for like two hours

Very exciting! + cool astronomy pic

THIS is what I wanted to share the other week - ESO (European Southern Observatory) picture of the week! Wonderful discovery about one of the largest (if not the largest) star in the galaxy coming apart. (my @bwr is an author) Picture (first link below) was released today and here's the associated article. The bright one at bottom left is W243, which he also wrote a paper on eso.org/public/images/potw1849

Like typing a lot? Now you don't have to thread anything on awoo anymore! If you use a CW you can notice the limit turning into an infinity sign. It's still limited to about sixteen thousand characters for technical reasons though

food 

So this took forever to make, but holy -shit- was it worth it. 💙

Massaman curry with roti. Probably the best one I've ever made.

today I fucked up deliciously

intended to make a spicy pork stir fry with doubanjiang but messed up early on, opted to braise it all instead to some pretty amazing results
