I am planning some gnocchi, since she’s a weirdo who doesn’t like it. Not sure what I’m doing with it yet.

Thanks for the suggestion. I keep fresh ginger in the freezer and grate it directly into my dishes.

This is stupid. Obviously the chicken coup has only just begun.

At the risk of repeating myself, wow I LOVE that.

I got this cuff at the flea market for $14. It’s very uncomfortable to get on and off my wrist, but it’s a real showstopper.

You are correct and I wasn’t thinking about it from that angle, just about how they didn’t glorify the police.

Bones is one of the most egregious shows for me. The enthusiasm the title character has whenever she gets to shoot someone or lie to someone “because it’s allowed” is super icky.

The original CSI was great. The first few seasons are all about how the evidence is more important than whatever easy story the cops want to make up, and how society is more complicated than just good guys vs bad guys, and the system isn’t always just. It drew a hard distinction between the scientific investigators and the actual cops. Later they turned into just another stupid cop show.

I appreciate shows with civillian detectives like Murder She Wrote, that spend half their episodes making the cops look like incompetent assholes.

To be fair, their commitment to pacifism is just another tool of control. The members are kept out of politics so they won’t spend time or resources on serving anyone but the Governing Body^tm.

The Fall of the House of Usher not only improves the original story, but beings many of Poe’s works to life in a cohesive, beautiful way.

I’m also much more a fan of Flanagan’s Haunting of Hill House than Shirley Jackson’s, but I understand that’s a controversial opinion about a widely loved book.

You makin me blush.

I hope Lady Butterfly will let me know if there’s any issue with sharing links like this.They are not mine, and I have nothing to do with it if you choose to buy.

They don’t fit my style or color palette, but I would ooh and ah over them if someone else wore them.

. . . Tylenol?

At the risk of spoilers, I gave up on TLoU this episode. Padro Pascal is prolific enough, I can enjoy him in other things.

Been watching The Pitt, which is amazing. I’m going to rewatch now the first season is complete.

You are the sweetest.

My color palette is almost entirely based on Captain America so I’ve got these boots and Tommy Hilfiger hooded jacket. I’m pretty happy with them, though I also have to wear a billed cap under the hood to protect my glasses.

I still need a good (and fashionable) umbrella.
