In highschool a few friends of mine waited to get the final Harry Potter book when it was released. We all got a copy and then I think I finished it that night so I talked with one of my friends about it the next day at work. Great fun but a little embarrassing to admit now. Fuck J.K. Rowling
I have planted my vegetable garden. But that’s mostly for fun instead of for survival.
I have been doing some permaculture, foraging and native foods for fun. I think we should all know how to feed ourselves outside of big corporations. I have done lots of medicinal herbs over the last few years. I have been using them with my family and friends and it’s been delicious and fun. I keep finding new things I can use with things around my house.
My goal this year is going to be around drying foods. I had a fascinating learning / conversation with a native farmer from NATIFS about drying foods. Apparently you can basically dry everything with almost no supplies using sun and wind. So I want to practice with any excess fresh foods I have. I want to try to make my own dried soup mixes for the winter
Kung-Pow is an absurdist camp masterpiece. It won’t be defamed and aged like fine milk into a blue cheese. Not for everyone but amazing for those who get it
The reason for the difference is from the Norman invasion when the nobility were French. So they referred to the food only not the animal in their own tongue.
According to legend aving a theoretical physicist close enough can break any well designed equiment nearby. In the same way a good engineer can make the same equipment work by proximity only.
It was pretty good. Hearing Meryl sing terribly is interesting because she’s so good
That is true. Sex isn’t the main focus and there’s more slow building of sexual tensional and anticipation than actual sex. The world building and story is great with some great action chapters.
When Women Were Dragons a great standalone book reimaging the 1950 based on women spontaneously turning into dragons. It’s a concept book where a sociality issue is examined by fantasy tropes which are fun. Worth reading if you haven’t done a female perspective novel or concept novel in a while.
Fourth Wing and the rest of the Empyrean series. It’s technically Romantasy (romance/fantasy) and it’s super popular now. But it’s got good world building, dragons and sex in it. If you have never done a Romantasy it’s worth a read even if you don’t think you will like romance novels.
Babel it’s a fantasy historical account of oxford. It’s beautiful and wonderful. The author also has a series Poppy Wars which is good but it’s dark. But Babel is best.
I have gone in bursts devouring those books. There’s a little too much nerd boy fantasy insert in the first book. (The skinny loner who dressed bad has WAY too many beautiful women into him). But it’s pulp so it’s expected. Besides it gets so good.
Can’t say no to gritty magic crime noir.
All Vonnegut is worth reading
I loved Fritz Leiber Swords. If you like DnD it’s definitely what built lots of tropes from it. Also the episodic nature is a fun fast read
If you haven’t watched a baby or child eat you wouldn’t understand how dirty they can get their ears. My daughter is just starting to eat solids and always get food behind her ears. She gets it on her hands and then rubs her ears so it gets covered.
So yes we have to wash behind her ears
As a straight man I am attracted to women. I have seen plenty AFAB enbys who are attractive. I have also seen plenty of AMAB trans women who are attractive. I have seen plenty of AFAB women who are attractive.
I once heard that sexual attraction is just a vibe and I really like that description. So if they hit my vibe I am in.
It’s a hugely impactful play and the Emcee shows huge changes in it. We had so many audible gasps at the end of the gorilla number
I’ll have to look it up. It was brilliant and want to watch it again and again
It’s a beautiful show and really timely. Orville Peck can really sing. Was he wearing his fringe facemask as the Emcee?
I haven’t seen it before I saw it live. Not even the movie. I knew what it was about but seeing it pure was something
Nothing wrong with liking it then because you didn’t know. If you never have anything you cringe / regret / embarrassed about when you are younger you either have done nothing or learned nothing.
