to which my reaction was "d'awwww, lookit the tiny baby spiders!" and then to be as careful as possible about brushing them off and not squishing them. I've probably brought at least a half-dozen of them inside with me, and I may have several still crawling around on me somewhere, but they were SO CUTE AND TINY. XD

also the crow was extremely pleased with the peanubs. ^___^

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
