green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

a crow came to the porch railing and gave me The Look, so I went outside and refilled the suet feeder and put out peanuts. while I was out there I felt spiderwebs, which didn't seem unusual until I realized that a spider egg clutch had hatched on either the suet or the hummingbird feeder, and there were dozens of tiny spiders all over the porch, about the size of a pinhead, many of them dangling from the suet feeder. I then realized I was mildly covered in tiny baby spiders.

@Jacel *nosetouch and gentle kind thoughts*

@reibeatall@octodon.social I did not! I thawed it enough to be cut up, but that's all I've done with it. how does one salt it--just put salt in with it while it's thawing, or ??

so I found this amazing recipe, which is basically chicken (cut into 1" cubes), vegetables, chicken stock, and spices, and the result is uniformly fantastic *except* that the chicken keeps coming out dry and chewy. is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?

@kara@occult.camp @zebratron2084 "on your turn you may force another player to sacrifice a martyr" eheheeheheheheh but of course I'm imagining it as a horrible competitive game, like Civ or Monopoly, in which you try to make the Most Virulent Religion Take Over Humanity. XD

@zephasaurus_hex @kara@occult.camp this right here is me saying I would gladly help playtest this because YES.

@kara@occult.camp oh FUCK YEAH. hey @zebratron2084 LET'S MAKE A RELIGION-BUILDING BOARD GAME. 8D if for no other reason than I want to have an actual "sacrificing a martyr" mechanic.

@kara@occult.camp (at first glance I thought the CW said "church outbreak")

@noelle oh that was *neat*! and the bit where he went to a "chord" and the audience went "...." XD

@anthracite okay I'm not an expert on plumbing or anything but that don't look right to me.

@kara@occult.camp I like you. :] but I have a complex relationship with the whole "people" thing so I'm maybe not a great data point... <3

@anthracite it took me a few minutes of staring at it, but I finally realized that my only comics association with "The Filth" is something to do with Transmetropolitan. :D

@cute_weeds @noelle yeaaaahhhh definitely record (either directly or in writing) that shit and consider a complaint to the Chamber of Commerce or something equivalent, because that's lawsuit material right there. :| what a shitshow.
