This is extra funny to me because my brother *did* get stuck in quicksand and I always think of that when people make the quicksand joke. (He got out.)

"Recipes is Lina's way of bridging the gap between busy lifestyles and the joy of home-cooked meals," I mutter to myself as I slowly pare an apple down to a nub.

omg, I found this recipe that showed a chicken with really crispy skin but the recipe called for it to be doused in broth while it was cooking and I was like "that won't work??" and then I saw this

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.”

“D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

From today’s Facebook memories:

If you know me, you know I'm committed to calling out white mediocrity and know-your-place aggression. In a Q&A for a teaching workshop, I concisely articulated why. It's just over a minute long, so I hope you'll watch and share widely.

My great grandmother's Ellis Island record is wrong in a bunch of ways and it just didn't have anything to do with how she shows up in later documentation.

It really sucks Newsom vetoed the HRT and PreP access bills. The stockpile veto is going to hurt.

That said, given everything he has been saying this year, signing 8 out of 10 bills is a win for grassroots activists and the legislators filing the bills.

It shows your pressure has worked!

Trans News Network @transnews.network · 1d

CA UPDATE:

Newsom has signed these queer rights bills:
- AB 82 / SB 497 (Medical privacy)
- AB 1084 / SB 59 (Name/Gender changes)
- SB 450 (Adoption access)

And vetoed these bills:
- SB 418 (HRT stockpile)
- AB 554 (PreP)

Final total: 8 bills signed, 2 vetoed.

There’s a cannibalism section in the intro to my dissertation, which meant I had to read about Columbus (from whom we got the word “cannibal”) and man, that guy was evil in a way that’s legible in every time.

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Faulkner. I sometimes like reading Joyce, but I don't know if I like Faulkner because it doesn't matter if I do or not; his work is great in a way that doesn't require me to like or dislike it.

At my niece's 1st birthday party, my husband and I watched in fascination as she largely rejected her chocolate cake in favor of salami liberally smeared with chocolate cake frosting. Toddlers have a way with food.

I mean this very literally and not in a snarky sense: a bunch of people currently in power have fairly obvious learning disabilities that were apparently never addressed, and they believe that hiding them and achieving certain measures of success is how they prove fitness.
