A white mesh bag with several bulbs of garlic and some individual cloves on a kitchen counter.

I, a published writer, editor, and university instructor, learned today that a “clove” of garlic refers to the sections and not the entire structure (“bulb”). This has enormous ramifications for my recipes

By the way, I seriously recommend this. If you are trying to improve something about yourself, write the best version of the compliment you’d like to get for it 🤣 Like giving yourself a gold star in advance

Compliments 💖 You deserve to hear this

I made a random compliment generator today because I wanted to make something nice :)

#QueerPrompts March 11: It really depends how you look at Tai’s life.

I want to see Stephen King bankrupt Grammarly with lawsuits.

Mega man is pro union and always has been.

I've been seeing all the people upset about this online versus the unanimous joy from people I know and I've realized: this is a rare decision that benefits the northeast portion of the province more than the southwest

Twin fountains! Spectacular.

US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!”

US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”

There's a limited number of jobs where you're just understood to be cooler than the customers: baristas, bike mechanic, queer bookstore worker. What if: lighthouse keeper???

Hi #WriteStuff! It's been a while. I'm still writing SF and fantasy about queer dirtbags who steal and bicker their way into Situations. Many of them are human! (The dirtbags, I mean. Only some of the Situations are human.)

#WriteStuff A1: This is an easy one: the human.

pidgeotto, but dressed like otto octavius in a rather half-assed sketch. Sorry, I don't have free time but I needed to get this idea out of my head.

Get his ass, king.

Debating organizing a protest against the notwithstanding clause in Ottawa on Mar 23, right when the Bill 21 case starts getting heard at the Supreme Court of Canada.

What do y'all think?

permanent DST was a bad idea guys

A broken, blue heart

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

Man, folks are sure going to get a lot of use out of the orca emoji. What's up, billionaires?

Why are time travelers always so lazy? If they're not getting photographed wearing Ray-Bans the 1940s, it's this kind of nonsense. Pure amateur hour/millennium.

This demonstrates the importance for time travellers of having a change purse with clearly marked compartments for different currencies. (Pick one up any year after 1893)

Aaand there's the Eugenics War coming up. Kinda missed that one on my list.

IT'S COOL HOW EVERYTHING SUCKS NOW BC 7 BILLIONAIRES HATE THEMSELVES

#Marchistics 9: The resulting raw fibre is bundled into bales and ready to be spun into yarn. During the Nivoréan occupation, bales of flax fibre were shipped from the farms of the Bir Accian river delta to be processed in other parts of the Principality, but today that work is done locally. (3/3)

#Marchistics 9: After a week or two, the fibres are pulled away from the dried stalks by breaking and skutching, using a series of wooden crushing tools and metal combs. This work is usually undertaken by the same farm workers who grow and harvest it. (2/3)

#Marchistics 9: Harvested flax stalks are processed in outbuildings adjacent to the flax fields. This process is called retting: soaking them in water, which breaks down the pectin binding the flax to the core of the stalk. The core is usually burned afterwards. (1/3)

#Marchistics 10: A farmer knows how to process flax into raw fibre, and as it's the most labour-intensive step, almost everyone knows someone who spins fibre into yarn. Still, someone experienced in retting doesn't automatically own a loom, and certainly doesn't sew bolts of linen into sails. (2/2)
