brb asking my publisher for an edition of Because Internet that makes the dialup screech as you open it, like a novelty birthday card, and gradually heats up the longer you read it

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch:
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."

Everyone makes this mistake, they think it was the hair. Wrong. It's the cheese. You control white people with cheese.

If support stops, that’s not one family but six & a camp going without 🚨

I hope you can sit with the impact you’ve had on H & his toddlers; keeping them housed since January has meant a little bit of safety, dignity, health.

this is not the most Jewish thing I've ever said, but I feel like it still ranks pretty high on the list

sometimes I want a text of the rabbi's sermons because I really like what he said...and sometimes I want a text of the rabbi's sermon so I can argue against all of his points and make sure I don't skip any.

yom kippur begins at sundown, and one of the questions i will be sitting with during my fast is, “what does it mean to uphold justice as a member of the jewish diaspora, while a genocide is carried out in my name and against my will in a part of the world i have never visited?”

100% All Achievements

Comic. PERSON 1 to person with white hat: I finished all the gen-ed back in 2010, and I’m up to the 400-level courses in most departments. But now one of my advisors is saying I “can’t have more than 20 majors” and “need to graduate next year.” It’s outrageous! [caption] My university is making it really hard to finish a 100% all achievements speedrun.

I'm a bit tempted to make another apple cake this afternoon for tomorrow evening, but considering my pain levels from last night I suspect the smarter choice is to not.

hannah @hannza.bsky.social · 13d

cake is for tonight, peanut butter bars are for break-fast tomorrow night.

and I'm very glad I made the peanut butter bars first bc I sliced my finger on the (unfortunately dull) apple peeler and needed a steristrip or two.
