I continue to love how easily people are believed in Star Trek. If your crewmate and friend says they believe something is happening to them, you fucking believe them.

You give Keiko video evidence of her husband's death, and she says this is faked my husband never drinks coffee in the afternoon. You ask a few questions, and then you hop in a runabout to go investigate.

Beverly Crusher tells you her friend has disappeared, but there's no record that he ever existed. Ask questions. Believe her. Investigate that shit.

It makes a lot of sense, when they regularly wind up in bizarre and dangerous situations. You absolutely should operate on the assumption that whatever someone is experiencing is real until proven otherwise. But also, I can't think of any other show where Keiko would be believed when she says that it can't be Miles in the video.

I knew Emerald was going to fuck up Wuthering Heights but I really didn’t see everyone going insane over her white man casting. For some delusional reason I thought she would cast an actor of Indian or Pakistani descent and differ from the 2012 version with a black actor. But I obviously give her too much credit because of course she would pick the whitest white man. lol 😂

*doctor voice* hmmmm…..have you tried this revolutionary method called painmaxxxing? it is where you do not bother me and adjust to being in agony all the time and we do nothing to resolve the root cause or treat the symptoms. you don’t wish to try painmaxxxing? you’re being non-compliant with the treatment plan I have just provided you?

Justice League fic concept:

- ok we suddenly & urgently need somewhere safe to lie low for a couple of days that our enemies definitely don't know about. anyone have any ideas.'

Superman, with intense reluctance: I know a place

Cyborg: oh? where is it?

Superman: Kansas

& that's how the rest of the league finds out Superman's secret identity and also gets to meet Ma & Pa Kent

highlights:

- passive aggressive comments from the Kents about how pLeAsED they are to finally meet Clark's co-workers

- 'your name is Clark? Clark??'

- Clark: *hanging out in civilian clothes*

Everyone: o___o

Clark: guys stop staring, this isn't that weird. remember when we all found out Billy was a fifteen year old boy?

Flash: hmm I think this might be weirder?

Cyborg: it's a close thing

Clark: ok let's put this to a vote. hands up everyone who thinks this is as weird or weirder as Billy's secret identity.

Clark: .......Bruce put your hand down, you already knew my real name.

- the Kent house definitely doesn't have enough bedrooms for everyone so most of the league has to camp out on the floor. justice league slumber party baby!!

- no-one brought a change of clothes so they all have to borrow stuff from the Kents. everyone is in plaid whether they like it or not. Ma Kent takes some delight in dressing Billy in Clark's old clothes.

i am about to bestow upon you the secret butter technique. i am sorry, but it is french. i am sorry again, this only works with cow butter. i am certain plant based butters wouldn’t work, and alternative animal butters may or may not work

has this ever been you: you have a nicely steamed vegetable, or maybe you want to make the best butter noodles, but you know that if you put butter on those it’ll just melt and you end with kind of greasy noodles or vegetables? don’t you wish it was instead a luscious buttery glaze?

introducing: beurre monté

you will take a small sauce pan, and begin heating it with 1-2 tablespoons of water (use very little water) and bring it to a hard simmer or boil

turn the heat down slightly, and add Butter. how much? however much you dare. (start with 3-4 tablespoons and go from there)

you are going to either whisk Aggressively or you can pick up the saucepan, still holding it over the heat, and swirl aggressively so the butter is skating around the sides of the pan

done correctly, you will have liquid butter that is still emulsified. you have made Butter Sauce. season it with a little salt, and toss whatever you want in it.

if you’re butter splits, i’m sorry. you didn’t agitate it enough to maintain the emulsion, and now you have melted butter.

you can use this knowledge to make other sauces by swapping out the water for another liquid. white wine becomes beurre blanc. red wine is beurre rogue.

you want to CUM? sweat minced shallot in a tiny bit of butter, add white wine and cook it out until it’s reduced by about half. then whisk butter in hard. a few flecks of minced thyme or fennel frond stirred thru, and you eat that with a nice seared fish? or scallop? or even shrimp? wow. you will Nut

your boxed mac and cheese game can also be elevated by cooking your pasta and making a beurre monté first, tossing your pasta in that and adding the cheese packet. wow. hey; you’ll cum

go forth now with this butter secret

Thinking about how wild it is that enshittification starts as a way for the rich to squeeze the populace for more money but ends up infecting everything so even luxury products decline in quality. They’ve got more money than fucking God now and for what? Literally they can’t even buy fun nice stuff for themselves because they killed craft.

Anyway this post is about Dhaka muslin but it’s also about everything.

Spouse and I are in Rome.

He went to church as a kid yet I know more about religion than he does. (Thanks fallen catholic father that likes to info dump about church architecture and studying a lot of history) Which means the bar is basically on the ground.

Rome is literally full of churches and they are pretty and free. So now we are on St. Sebastian scavenger hunt

Him: how do we know which one is St. Sebastian?

Me: he’s the ripped one being shot with arrows and often looks like he might be a little into it. Oh look, there he is

Him: oh wow, I was not expecting that description to be that accurate
