i just finished making a pot of chili and my dear ex-wife @fallout-lou-begas made a pot of chili last week and all this chili reminds me of a conversation we had when we were still living together. i like to eat my chili with a peanut butter sandwich; lou usually makes corn bread to go with hers and thought my pairing was unusual. so now i wanna know:

when i say chili i mean a bog-standard beef and/or bean chili with peppers and onions and tomatoes, seasoned with chili powder and cumin and whatnot

here is a blurry photo of my chili as it cooks down a bit:

i'm sorry you are all so unimaginative and unwilling to try new things

WHERE IS MY SPAGHETTI OPTION???

when is comes to asexuality and aromanticism you have to be okay with contradiction. one ace person will say asexuality is about not experiencing attraction, another will say it’s about not caring to act on attraction, another will say it’s not experiencing arousal. one aromantic will consider themself queer, one won’t. two people with seemingly identical experiences will use two different labels. aro people will be in romantic relationships, ace people will have sex. you get it.

— Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture by Sherronda J. Brown

— The Invisible Orientation by Julie Sondra Decker

And these were just quotes I had on hand. Asexuality can take many forms. The most important thing to consider is not whether or not you have the same experience as another asexual, but whether you find value in using the label to describe your experience.

Many of the families that have reached out to me, families on this list, are in Rafah or have family members in Rafah. It is imperative and EXTREMELY urgent we fill these fundraisers as swiftly as possible, the IOF is planning to invade any day. Please, I urge you, to donate whatever you can. People’s lives are at stake.

A lot of people headcanon Liu Mingyan as a war goddess on par with her brother but what if the inverse of that was also true ? As in what if Liu Qingge is actually a fantastic writer who just doesn't like doing it as much as he does fighting?

Maybe when they were kids and lmy was too young to travel she asked him to keep a journal so he could tell her all about his journeys on Cang Qiong without missing any details, and he ended up getting really really good at it to the point where some of his stories were published (at the insistence of lmy and under a pen name, of course, since writing is for losers like sqq, not the Bai Zhan peak lord) and became super popular among the common folk. Completely contrary to his verbal communication, his writing is vivid and detailed, with particularly intricate focus on the technicality of the action scenes. Nothing gets overly florid or overstays its welcome, and all of the scenarios the main character encounters are exciting and compelling. There's rarely any dialogue, mostly just action scenes sewn together by travel sequences, but the public eats up the traveling lone wolf badass narrative like a xianxian equivalent of Jackie Chan or something

Shawn and Gus are drift compatible but under no circumstances should they ever be allowed to pilot a jaeger

I have an emotional need for this to get 100,000 notes

Like, how correct can you be??? This is the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen.

Wanted to say Glaze 2.0 is AMAZING.

What took 30 mins+ before, took me THREE MINUTES last night. WITH my other programs still running.

For folks who tried Glaze but haven't been using it due to glazing time, give 2.0 a chance!

I've heard that other folks have had it taking the same time/longer, but the quality is so much better. Your settings will determine the outcome, but it's definitely a huge improvement over the initial release version.

This update was super sexy of the Glaze Project. You can download the updated version from their site HERE!

(You should also use in conjunction with Nightshade!)

inspired by 50 tabs of jinbesan merch because I wouldn't know how to derpify an orca otherwise

Shoelace Voodoo

The heel slipping one is awesome if you have to wear orthotics because it stops them from slipping round inside your shoe

Oh! I’ll have to try this

oh my god. oh, oh my god. the wide forefoot one… oh my god bless you you beautiful hero

Ian’s Shoelace Site – https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ – is the page for all these lacing patterns and more.

He’s got specific lacing advice for skates and tall boots and there are decorative patterns and I recently relaced my skate shoes for both a wide forefoot and less friction on the laces so it’s easier to tighten and loosen them but he also has lace-locking patterns so that shoes stay exactly as tight as you laced them the first time and it is just a VERY GOOD website.

Like. I’ve been buying shoes the wrong size because it’s often hard to find wide shoes but the lacing pattern for a wide forefoot means that my big hobbit feet actually fit into the previously too-tight running shoes and sneakers I had.

I saw mention in the comments of the reddit community r/DeGoogle, which is an excellent resource that includes a list of general-use alternatives to the Google ecosystem that its users have put together. The search engines they list are more general-use than the ones above, but may make for decent replacements. I personally use Firefox as my browser and DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine, though sometimes I’ll use Marginalia, a search engine that focuses on retrieving non-commercial content.
