... and that's three critiques done. And I'm realizing I may have a problem, 'cause I'm referencing Slate Star Codex articles in my critique. But for once, I think it's warranted. I can't wait to see this one revised. So much potential. #editing
Cooking
Important safety tip: no-knead bread dough will develop a skin on it from drying out even if you don't leave it in the oven. Cover or seal with pin prick air holes to minimize.
I found this out the hard way this morning. Gonna try a little manual rehydration since it's sitting in the fridge for three days before I bake it.

birdsite, essay
This is possibly the most important essay I’ve read in the past year (as in 365 days): http://www.rookiemag.com/2018/01/editors-letter-75/

Also, watch that second one completely, for all the dance animations. This game is _extremely #pfaf.
Sex, Drugs, Swear Words
Me, a hedonist: Ah, yes. Critiqued two stories, made a fantastic late-night snack, then sexytimes after a light puff on the bong. Sure, it's 03h00 now, but I'll easily get six hours of sleep before work.
Me, a lunatic: What squamous hell is this, waking up at 07h00 and feeling refreshed? Maybe I can get the day started early!.
Me, a wretch: It's 08h00 please just let me have another hour every divinity above and below I beseech you
Foodcrime
I had half a wad of no-knead pizza dough I needed to use up, a jar of @mawr 's roasted garlic confit, and a powerful hankering.
So I made this: homemade pan pizza with smoked mozzarella, bleu cheese, spinach, mushroom, and garlic confit. https://awoo.space/media/fLjyPijC2soG2mW5Mrk
Five stories to critique by Sunday.
Thirteen more stores to read critically -- if not write full critiques for -- by end of the month.
Edits to my @CircletPress submission by Feb 1.
I love this job. #writing

I've already sent my comment. Please boost and send your comments to the legislature if you're in WA. We need to kill this shit again.

I beat the game at 03h30 last night. 100% map completion, a significant number of the cheevos.
Non-spoiler summary: It's _very_ 70s dystopian sci-fi. Any game -- any _story_ -- willing to include humans uploaded into robot bodies wired with 3D lenses, metal bellbottoms and memory-limiter chips in a room with gold wall-to-wall shag carpeting and butt-plug-and-anal-bead wall motifs saying "it almost makes me remember what it's like to feel!" knows its genre and source material.
It's a little more Paul Reubens than Paul Hollywood, but the flavor's great.

Oh, and bread dough is in the second oven, proving. That won't be ready to touch until tomorrow morning.
