@digitaldiscipline is an instigator and sent me the Feetza image so I had to try making my own version. They aren't as elegant or realistic as the original but they came out WILDLY better than I expected.

[ID: five pictures total. The first is a screengrab of a chat where digitaldiscipline has sent me a meme showing a flatbread sculpted to look like a foot and captioned "Feetza". I reply that I'm going to have to make one. The next three images are progress photos of the "right" foot, first plain, then with red sauce and cheese and pepperoni but not cooked, and finally fully baked. The last image shows both Feetzas, the left one with pesto sauce instead of red sauce, looking footlike but also delicious. THEY WERE.]

Data does a set

with Robin Williams and there

are no survivors.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Okay so, got here from a book on animal behavior but: Vulcan stand-up comedy as a competitive activity.

Because most Vulcans don't actually pretend they don't have emotions, it's all about self-regulation, right? And good comedy usually hinges on manipulating the relationship between our faculties of recognition and surprise in various ways, you can get pretty scientific with it.

So Vulcans go to the comedy act, and the idea is the comedian is trying to make you crack up, and the audience is trying to not even crack a smile, and if you do laugh, you lose. Like all in good fun, but Vulcans are both really competitive and really aware of how dangerous that urge can be to a society, so this could actually be classified as highly orthodox Surakian practice.

So of course the comedian has to actually be funny, or there's no challenge and the game is boring.

Which means the really good Vulcan comedians (most of whom tend to extremely dry delivery of their bits) are going to go around playing to packed houses, which mostly sit staring stonily back at them, with occasional breaks when someone loses it and reacts.

And after a show you'll have Vulcans walking out discussing with great approval how very humorous that was, with varying degrees of muted smugness or chagrin depending on if they won or lost.

I bet there are human comedians whose grandest fantasy is being good enough to do a set in Vulcana Regatta and have people going around bragging about not laughing at them.

(for when you're less stabby but still productively salty)

Statements of (assumed) fact: - You enjoy mustard - You know a lot about mustard varieties - You enjoy BBQ - You have ties to Texas Violence: Rank the various types of regional BBQ

It took me so long to be less stabby!

We talked about this a bit but for the benefit of the readers, I recall saying that while I do enjoy barbecue I'm not any kind of expert about it. Although I did the other day have a conversation with someone from Texas who asked, "So did you find any good barbecue in Chicago yet?" and I said "Uhhhhhhhh not really?" and he was like I KNOW RIGHT

There's ok barbecue here, but nothing especially great. I know that there's great barbecue somewhere on the South Side but I'm never down there so I don't get much chance to sample. And as he pointed out, Texas-style and Chicago-style are very different.

IDK, my love of being a snob about things is warring with my love of sampling true regional cuisine, so it's hard to rank regional barbecue when I want to eat all of it. I do love a sweet sauce, I'd rather have sweet than hot, so I think my tastes generally run towards midwestern, KC-style. For the same reason I like Carolina, because it's that mix of mustard and sweet. I'm big on burnt tips and smoked turkey and I do think you get a lot more of that outside of Texas, where it seems like it's always about ribs and brisket.

But also, because I ate a pretty limited diet as a kid especially when dining out, one of the foods I love most in the world is a grilled hamburger, even though a lot of people don't consider burgers to be barbecue (and of course purists don't consider "grilling" to be barbecue). But if there's a grill going I want to slap some burgers on it. Or some teriyaki chicken skewers. This is probably my California showing.

So I think probably like...KC-style, then Carolina, then Texas, then like, northern-midwest where I am now, and then whatever's happening anywhere west of Texas. But also: hamburgers.

Come to think of it, I don't know if the northeast has a barbecue tradition. Y'all got good cue out there? Don't get me wrong, I love a lobster roll or some steamed crab or slow-cooked baked beans, but I don't think I've ever seen a recipe for like, Maine Smoked Pork Belly.

Anyway I do love A Meat cooked over A Fire in A Sauce, which I feel is what counts. :D

You keep trying to dissuade us but you’re making him sound even more attractive.

please everyone has to stop with this, i shared the post with him in a moment of weakness this morning and y’all are going straight to his head

also i forgot that sharing a direct link to my tumblr with him would render it possible for him discover this post that he didn’t previously know about, so now he not only knows that I have been stewing over my own weird wheaties comment for months, but it is also now exponentially more likely that he will reply to my next tiddy pic with “ZOUNDS! DEM MOUNDS!” and I will be forced to hunt down and kill @digitaldiscipline as a result and nobody wants that, right @digitaldiscipline?

[leverage-ot3]

not going to give the blog any attention or time of day but this is your reminder that the leverage crew would never be zionists or support israel whatsoever

I wasn't going to engage with it because I value my mental health but yeah. absolutely fucking NOT

y'all really think that this group of people that actively go out of their way to go against the rich and powerful, who make it their goal to help people that are oppressed, devalued by society and taken advantage by those more powerful would at all EVER align themselves with israel? bffrrn

I'm going to go off for a few paragraphs about why this is such a horrendously ridiculous and delusional idea, but I'm not going to clog up your dash so it's going under the cut. I want to respect people who already participate in activism and need fandom space for lighter things

tw for discussion of the atrocities and war crimes happening in palestine

over 25 THOUSAND innocent people have died as a result of israeli terror the last few months alone. over 10 thousand children. entire family lines have been erased from the world forever- grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren all martyred, often together as they are sheltering from bombs and bullets until they are murdered by soldiers that laugh as they shoot and detonate bombs.

you really think that eliot 'I adopt every child I see' spencer would support a regime that let a child stay trapped in a car where her family members were martyred, not let paramedics in for days and then when they finally let the paramedics approach they kill both her AND the EMS? you think he would stand with the government that arrests children as young as 6 years old for *checks hand* being terrorists (because what fucking 6 year old is a terrorist let alone any kind of national threat. they're fucking SIX). that snipes children for throwing rocks at tanks and their apartheid walls

he and all of them would weep at the picture released the other day of the little girl handing from rubble with her legs blown off.

all of them would be horrified of the bombardment that has murdered tens of thousands of innocent civilians, women, children, men, elderly alike with no fucking care. that shoots people with their hands up waving white flags. that bulldozes graveyards and digs up bodies and probably steals organs from they dying and deceased. that bombs hospitals, governmental and archival buildings, mosques, churches, holy sites, schools and universities. whose soldiers have a trend where they go through women's underwear drawers and make lewd comments about their lingerie and how kinky they must be. who make tiktoks of them playing in decimated playgrounds and signing their children's names on bombs. who force parents to collect pieces of their children in plastic bags because they have been blown apart by relentless bombing. who shoot a grandmother holding a child's hand. who murdered a woman that dared say that she was older than the 'state' of israel.

the fact that you're posting this as israel relentlessly bombs rafa, the place they were told would be the only safe place to be, where 1.6 million people are living in tents living off animal feed because no sufficient humanitarian aid (if any) has been let through

these people that advocate for comeuppance and exposing wrongs would not support a regime that actively targets and murders journalists and their entire families.

you really think any of them would actively support a genocidal sociopathic government? fucking delusional

to a certain extent, I know that people want to keep fandom and advocacy spaces separate and I acknowledge and relate to that- when we are logged on every moment of the day we sometimes need to take breaks and engage with something else for our mental health. I need that too. and there is a very thin line when you try to apply fandom to current events because in all honesty, making headcanons about how your faves would react to X horrendous event can come off as extremely tone-deaf. I get you love your blorbos (I do too!), but actual people are suffering and it can come off as disingenuous to a lot of folks when you try to talk about your characters instead of the very real harm that is going on. HOWEVER, the other account posted in the leverage tag that the crew would be zionists and started that discourse and since it was already out there in our space I wanted to make sure that people know that this blog does not support that whatsoever.

and before this gets misconstrued: antizionism is not antisemitism. I have a lot of love for my jewish friends and followers, but saying that we can't be critical of war crimes and incessant aggression because it is a jewish state is fucking ridiculous. we should be able to hold any and all governments accountable when they do bad things (this absolutely also means I think we should hold the US accountable for enabling them and I live here. every country that is complicit needs to face consequences). saying that israel is exempt from criticism because jewish people deserve a right to a homeland isn't a great take. I completely understand fear of antisemitism and discrimination, but at some point we have to think critically and acknowledge that people are dying by the thousands and standing up for that and calling out atrocities takes precedence. jewish voices for peace has some really good content about this topic

anyways there's a random blog out there posting about how your faves are zionists splattering their rancid sponge and I want to make sure my stance on this subject is very clear: fuck israel, free palestine, and no one is free until everyone is free

#1 What If AO3 Had A Random Button

Had a dream this morning that Archive of our Own had a Random button which would simply take you to a random fanfic, like Wikipedia has. (AO3 does not appear to really have this, I checked and couldn't find one, but I kinda wish they did.) Someone had started a game where whatever fic you got, that was your new fandom, which is very fun! I would love this meme in real life.

@providing-leverage tagged my main blog @clearskiesandmistyeyes but I'm most active on here so I'm doing it here

3 ships: leverage ot3, stoncy OR steddie (boycott stranger things tho), and idk I have so many. I recently watched the anime skip and loafer and the het ship mitsumi x sousuke has rights. they are just. too cute.

First ever ship: probably percabeth or peeta x katniss (thg was my first real fandom). what. what is their ship name??? I've seen the peeniss memes but I don't believe it

edit: it's everlark. im just dumb

Last song: everywhere everything by noah kahan

Last film: badland hunters on netflix. it was alright, maze runner blatant reference i see you. came for ma dong-seok, stayed for ma dong-seok AND the found family dynamic

Currently Reading: too many tabs open on ao3. technically the last physical book I read was a sapphic graphic novel called the girl from the sea by molly ostertag and maarta laiho. SO sweet but warning the ending is bittersweet and left me yearning

Currently Consuming: trying to bleach the knowledge of the last three episodes of last twilight from my mind. SPOILERS but bffrrn tell me you did NOT give this man his sight back after 11 eps of his progressive blindness arc AND make it so that mhok pitied him the whole time. tell me how you get it that wrong. i'm in shambles rn @legendaryrooftopscene has been my buddy in grief with me

Currently craving: a new fucking job dear god, everyone pls send me good vibes that the place I'm going to apply to will hire me even though I'm underqualified, I need the benefits and to get out of this hellhole

tagging: @digitaldiscipline @all-things-breathing @legendaryrooftopscene @leverageclips @vampirewalterskinner and whoever else I'm forgetting to tag, or whoever else wants to join in on the fun!!!

[leverage-ot3]

Tagged by @vampirewalterskinner

last song: everywhere everything by noah kahan

favorite color: purple/pink, and then blue (yes I know. the stereotype)

last movie/show: last show I watched was either last week's percy jackson or binging part of the brothers sun (netflix) which I need to finish. michelle yeoh the mother you are!!! but honestly I've just been watching john oliver videos, I started three years ago and am working my way back to the most recent ones I've watched. I could watch that funky lil guy forever. I wanna put him in a jar and shake

Sweet/spicy/savory: sweet

relationship status: idk man

last thing I searched: jobs hiring in my area lmao

current obsession: percy jackson on tuesdays. not an obsession but I'm trying really hard to get into advocacy and activism for palestine within my local community which is taking up a lot of brain power.

tagging: @all-things-breathing @digitaldiscipline and everyone else who sees this, I'm too tired to tag more people

Not too much at the moment! They actually had enough warning here they were able to build a defensive wall around the plant and the lagoon, which is nearly finished. So if lava DOES start to head that way, it should hopefully get diverted. I think there are a few pylons they need to check on at the moment, but even those aren't in immediate danger.

Seems the eruption in Iceland has finally kicked off. Stay safe everyone.
