I've been planning my week around getting Aurora out for bird dog practice with my frozen quail in preparation for our last field trial of the year (and possibly last one ever bc idk if I want to continue after she ages out of puppy stakes) on Saturday and she had the ABSOLUTE AUDACITY of going into heat this morning so we won't even be allowed to run.

girl what.

After a few years of part-time supporting-artist-ing in Cardiff I finally get a DW-related casting enquiry... a month after I moved away. 🙃

This is a personal post.

I don't know what to add, but I wanted to share this.

This needs to end.

This needs. to end.

Edit:

2nd edit in case this blows up: Do not be vile in the notes justifying or trying to recruit for antisemitism by using this genocide to justify another.

Everyplate unboxing

I did the Everyplate offer again! Seriously, guys--I'm not trying to be, like, a corporate shill here, but if you do their introductory offer and then immediately cancel, they will beg to give you the introductory offer again. And again. And again. I've done it like six times, all with the same credit card/address/etc. They've even started adding bonus offers--this time I got an extra meal and a packet of steak for $1.

If you live in the US, have a credit card, and like cooking, you should probably do it, is what I'm saying. All you have to do is remember to cancel it when the box arrives.

Here's the box:

It's a nice box, with a corrugated/reflective lining for temperature regulation. It's sturdy enough that you can re-use it (and the ice-packs that you get) as a little picnic cooler several times.

Here's inside the box:

Everything's just kind of jumbled in there, so you have to unpack it and sort out what goes with each meal. I've been doing the 6 meals/2 servings plan the last few times (the first few times I did 3 meals/4 servings), and with the extra meal offer this time I got 2 servings each of 7 meals. (You can get a smaller number of meals, but the shipping is a flat $11 no matter how many you get. If you pay attention when you're choosing which recipes you want, you can easily stretch the box out over 2 weeks--pick some things with vegetables that keep well, like carrots and so forth, and put the meat component in the freezer.)

Chicken stir-fry and dijon mustard steak:

With their stir-fries, I like to add some extra vegetables; I made this one last night and put in carrots and some more peppers, and it ended up being more like 3 servings than 2. The other one is originally a pork-chops recipe, but I'm going to do it with my free steak instead; I'm planning to have it tomorrow.

Shepherd's pie and linguine:

These two I'm putting aside for next week--I put the ground beef in the freezer, and everything else should be OK.

Sweet-potato hash and sausage flatbreads:

The sweet potato hash is also for next week. I made the flatbreads today. It was a little more complicated than I thought--they have you making a white sauce from scratch; I had to go out and buy milk--but it was really good!

Cherry pork chops/chicken:

They do a lot of recipes that are chicken or pork chops with some sort of fruit jam--I've done apricot and fig ones; this one has cherry jam. Since I ordered two meals that came with pork chops (this one and the dijon mushroom one) I swapped one set of pork chops for chicken, but then I also got the $1 steak, so I have an extra packet of meat; once I decide which one I want to have, I'll put the other one in the freezer.

I paid, like, $35 for all this food. I don't really understand why it's worth it to them to keep sending me this introductory offer when I have never bought a single full-price box, but they keep sending me emails asking me to please consider letting them send me a big box of food that they cannot possibly be making any money on, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I will oblige them.

So jealous you love in la i bet the show was so good😭 also love that orville wears his mask everywhere lmao

It definitely has its pros and cons but living in a city where pretty much every artist performs is definitely at the top of the pro list! And it’s kinda funny when T&K reference local things like this that I just so happened to be at too lol

Honestly it was such a good show 😭 I love Tina& Amy so much and have been fans of them for forever so it was everything I expected and more. I know they’re touring through next year and hopefully they keep adding more cities so you can see them too!

Also, seeing Orville irl was so funny because the hat and mask are his disguises but it actually just makes him stand out more so the whole YouTube theater saw him come in. He also sat down like right before the show started and everyone else was already seated so there was a hush over the crowd as everyone watched him. Idk I laughed. Also also my friend was seated a few rows behind him and he blocked the view with his giant cowboy hat so she took a picture and since I was seated a few rows in front you can see the back of my head… and that’s how I technically have a picture with Orville Peck lmao

Rewatching Riverdale again. Starting to get the idea Sheriff Keller was maybe a bit of a pastiche of Sheriff Truman from Twin Peaks. It's in his costuming, the way he interacts with that big silly hat, the particular late-20th century brand masc walk, and somewhat in the writing ('supportive but a little confused' is inarguably exactly how truman would also resoond to an openly gay son). This makes me wish they had given him some kind of Cooper equivalent to bounce off of. He's a total nothing burger of a character, and so is Truman, but Harry was still likable because of his relationships. Letting Keller have a partner to bounce off of, and consequently showing more of the Actual Police Investigation instead of solely focusing on the teen detectives, might have also been really good for parentdale in general and opened up the plot for interesting directions (can you imagine riverdale taking on the police drama genre?!?!?!)

Hey y'all! Incredibly weird question for you: If a contractor sends you receipts for reimbursement by forwarding you an email from a city official from a city that's not the city the receipts are from. And the receipts are fake. Is there like...a specific city department to report the employee sending falsified receipts from their official work email? Does it make it better or worse that the receipts are completely unrelated to their job with the city? Do I call the HR department?????

College starts back up tomorrow and I have not done any of the work I was supposed to do over the summer… I’m gonna be in so much trouble :0

But, in my defence, I was spending the summer finding better coping mechanisms for my terrible mental health, so, there’s that.

its been insane witnessing the full force of propaganda and american imperialism with my own two eyes as an adult these past few years. obviously ive known abt it plenty and seen it before, but witnessing it at this age with this much force is... dystopian and crazy
