For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!

[Image ID: a screenshot of a tweet. The username has been cut off. Text saying: "saw a guy hold up his baby up to a painting like this today" underneath is a picture of a sketch on a post it. It shows a man holding his baby up with straight arms at the height of his chest. In front of the baby is a rectangle drawn to represent a picture.

Underneath is a response by workmacarti: "we should stop taking pictures of people in public and resort back to drawing from memory" /End ID]

[Image ID 1: Screenshot of an article by BBC News titled "I went without Sky TV as a child, says Sunak" by the political reporter Becky Morton. The first line says "Rishi Sunak has said he went without "lots of things" as a child, including Sky TV."

Image ID 2: a screenshot of a Google search. The search bar reads "when did Sky TV start UK" underneath it says "1989

Sky Television was launched in 1989, when Mr Sunak was eight years old. Within a year of its launch Sky claimed to reach one million households in the UK, reaching six million subscribers by the end of the 1990s. Its popularity soared after Sky Sports won the rights to show live Premier League football games in 1992." /End ID]

i'm trying to think of a funny caption but honestly nothing can be funnier than the fact that he actually said this and thought it was a good idea

I absolutely hate the feeling of sunscreen!

But I think I would hate the feeling of skin cancer more, so I guess I just have to suck it up and deal with it.

Like this is not what that map should look like:

[Image ID: a map of Germany showing the strongest parties in its constituencies. Almost the entire map is black, royal blue, and dark blue. West Germany is almost entirely black, representing the CDU, a very conservative party in Germany. There is also a bit of red, for the SPD, and green, for Die Grüne, sprinkled in West Germany, mostly in major cities.

Bavaria is entirely dark blue, which represents the CSU, which is essentially the CDU for Bavaria.

East Germany is almost entirely royal blue, representing the AfD. The AfD is assessed to be a right-wing extremist suspected case by the federal office for the defense of the constitution. In a few states in East Germany it has been declared to be secured right extremist. There are repeated cases of AfD members using Nazi speech, denying the Holocaust and other horrific things.

There are only a few constituencies in East Germany that are either black or green. The green constituencies are in the inner city of Berlin and in Potsdam. /End ID]

Aspecs. Acespecs. Arospecs. Aplspecs. Reblog if you agree.

[ragingdemocraticsocialist]

No! I missed it!😭 It's going in my calendar with 100 notifications for next year y'all!

Just a reminder to everyone that aplatonic visibility day is tomorrow! Aplatonics are so often erased and overlooked as a part of the aspec community. Tomorrow is a day dedicated to aplatonic pride for that reason. If you can, do something that day to spread awareness or show support. It means a lot.

Social experiment.

[Image ID: a screenshot of a tweet by Ellen. Their handle is flyingsnow. There is text saying "When you're warm and cosy and safe and also full of stolen sausage." Underneath is a photo of an orange cat curled up underneath a blanket. The cat is laying on another blanket or pillow on top of a couch or armchair. The blankets seem to be made of wool and seem very warm and comfortable. Only the top half of the cat's head is peaking out of the blanket starting with the eyes. The cat is looking directly at the camera./ End ID]

[Image ID: first picture shows a screenshot of a tweet by SzMarsupial saying "yeah, great place to be fighting guys, real smart, this can only end well". Underneath is a photo of two cats fighting on top of a high and narrow shelf. They are standing on their back legs with their front legs being at the throat of the other cat each.

The second picture shows a black and white drawing titled "The death of Sherlock Holmes" by Sidney Paget from 1893. It shows Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty fighting at the Reichenbach Falls. They are fighting on a cliff next to the waterfall. They are very close to the edge. The cliff is like the shelf of the previous picture very narrow. Both Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty are about to fall off the cliff to their death. The image is an illustration of the Sherlock Holmes story "the final problem" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. /End ID]
