'sup I'm alex and I love weird little guys

a pointillism ink drawing in sailor manyo sumire blue ink of a mola mola ocean sunfish

a vinegaroon carrying its young. they're in sch a large number that it's difficult to count them. they're all bickering and whining because of the long trip. their speech bubbles say
no YOU started it!
stop hitting me!
mom. MOM. MOM!!
I'm hungry
I feel sick
Are we there yet?
and I have to pee.

the image is drawn with blue lines and shaded with a blue halftone pattern

an orca chomping on some plastic ocean trash. it has a triumphant expression on its face and has a large CHOMP onomatopoeia over its head

a gouache painting of a pigeon with its head pulled in close to its body so it looks silly and round. it is over a square flat turquoise background

yeah that was worth all the prep and we're all dead now

You should put shrimp being dunked in cheese. There is cheese dripping from it. It looks very slutty

Bread being dunked in the pumpkin cheese. It is glistening

More bread being dunked in the pumpkin cheese fondue. It looks so damn good

All right salt pork and cherry tomato being dunked in pumpkin fondue. At this point my mother-in-law has thrown chunks of the grilled bacony goodness into the cheese itself. Galaxy brain

a Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen recipe that feeds 6 and uses in-season ingredients in Canada rn? perfect for holiday weekend with family for dinner tonight AHAHAHA

\o/ 🎃🧀

A pretty, almost 5 kg/10 lb orange pumpkin on my mother-in-law's kitchen countertop

The cute orange pumpkin with the witch hat atelier cooking manga in front of it. the bespectacled dude qifrey is holding a giant fantasy pumpkin that looks like a black bomb and saying in that case, I know just what to make. And the star of the evening will be the amazing kettle gourd. This is funny because I just discovered that if you don't cut open or poke a pumpkin and then shove it in the oven it can explode. I've always quartered my pumpkins before roasting. this is going to be fun

It really sucks that snob gatekeepers framed classical as high brow music so now any time you talk about it, people assume you're trying to signal intellect

But the music itself isn't pretentious, thats cultural baggage. I just like it when sounds are arranged in a cool way, like any other genre

“Unicorn bride marries Kenny from South Park” might be the most amazing headline i’ve ever read.

The Oregonian @oregonian.com · 2d

The couple in costumes said they wanted to bring joy to the protests and show that demonstrators are "fun loving people."

let some of the juice cool and added it to sparkling water. didn't remember to take a picture until I drank most of it in one long guzzle because it was SOOOOO GOOD

also setting aside some pumpkin to give to Sandwich later

A blue ceramic bowl full of glistening pumpkin juice with a little bit of pulp inside

My mother-in-law's bubbly glass with about a third of the volume filled with sparkling water that is slightly yellowish. I didn't add much pulp. It's so good

About a tablespoon of pumpkin flesh set in a little ceramic vessel to cool so it can be fed to my little white lap dog later

The little white lap dog in question. This is a picture of her from last week. She is lying on her back with her paws up asking for a belly rub and making eye contact. She is adorable. In this house we feed our daughters

I regret to inform you that we will be using my mother-in-law's fondue set because the structural integrity of a cooked pumpkin is not conducive to burn-free fondue 😭

A roasted pumpkin fresh out of the oven. It is delightfully browned

A roasted pumpkin gradually collapsing as it cools

Nope. We tried transferring the pumpkin to a pie plate to set it on a fondue flame but the skin just came right off and the rest collapsed
