This picture serves as a good summary to this series 😂 almost to the end of book 8 💜
mordecai with donut and carl is such an embodiment of that one post that's like "is that my..? fuuuuck that's my circus. and are those? dammit, those are my monkeys."
Day 17 - Curse you System AI!
I’d say run Carl but uh, chief idk where you can hide bud.

solve it. i dare you.
Nonograms Katana ID, if you want to play it there: #222479
throwback to this thingy
Fun fact about this puzzle:
Back when op first posted it, i downloaded katana to solve it and instantly got hooked on nonograms. So much so that i would spend like 5 hours a day on it. My entire world started becoming nonograms tho and it altered my perception of reality. Every room was a nonogram that my brain started to solve, the walls being the borders. There were no numbers, just nonogram logics. If i tried to not see things as nonograms i would get dizzy or nauseous. It was not fun. Had to quit cold turkey.
Then about around febuary or so i redownloaded katana, and I've been fine so far. Been pacing myself a lot better. Only like 12 hours a week if I'm into it, and that's just during dinner and winding down for the night.
that’s crazy
Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
trans actual uk - trans led and run advocacy, education and empowerment organisation
fiveforfive - collective fund for trans women and girls and transfem causes
gendered intelligence - trans led advocacy org
mermaids - supports trans youth
akt - lgbtq youth homelessness charity
loving me - domestic abuse service for trans people in england
not a phase - for trans adults
Here's some from Wales
Trans Aid Cymru - supporting trans people in wales
Queer Emporium - hub of queer businesses and events
And ones who operate in Wales but also across the UK
TIN Wadrobe - supplying clothes for trans and gnc people
G(end)er Swap - resources and events for trans style and gender expression
Adding some from Scotland I have experience with and afaik take donations, some are broader but with good trans inclusion:
Scottish Trans - Trans advocacy, information and social events. Run by the Equality Network, a broader Scottish LGBTQI advocacy group.
LEAP Sports Scotland - Sports charity that advocates for queer inclusion in sports, runs trans sports groups (Trans Active) in at least Glasgow and Edinburgh that I can absolutely recommend.
LGBT Health & Wellbeing - Not trans specific but includes trans specific, trans led and trans inclusive support and social events, and supports a variety of smaller community-run subgroups.
And another couple UK-wide:
Gender Identity Research & Education Society - Trans led charity supporting research on trans matters and education/training on trans inclusion. Does consultancy for public and private sector organisations.
Trans Kids Deserve Better - Trans advocacy and activist group led by and for trans kids. They do good work.
This game, about listing as many animals as you can, is shockingly well-considered and polished for such an apparent shitpost of a game idea

From Snow White’s cherry-red lipstick to the balloon sleeves on Ariel’s wedding gown, every Disney princess reflects the trends of their debut era, even though many of them take place during some nebulous history period.
Snow White’s look was based on models from Vogue, Woman’s Own, and Modern Home magazines, Simplicity sewing patterns, and Sears catalogs. The movie was released in 1937.
Cinderella’s look was based on models from Ladies’ Home Journal and Better Living magazines, Sears catalogs, and ‘everyday life’ photo archives from The Library Of Congress. The movie was released in 1950.
Aurora’s look was based on a mix of Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and Good Housekeeping magazines from the 1960’s, and Woman’s Own, Woman’s Weekly, and My Home magazines from the 1940’s. I also used 1940’s Simplicity sewing patterns, and late 1950’s Sears and Lane Bryant catalogues. Sleeping Beauty was released in 1959 and got mixed reviews and lackluster sales.
Ariel’s look was based on models from Elle and Vogue magazines, and characters from Golden Girls, Designing Women, and Full House tv shows. The Little Mermaid was released in 1989.
Belle’s look was based on models from Rolling Stone and National Enquirer magazines, and characters from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Friends, and Twin Peaks tv shows. Beauty And The Beast was released in 1991.
Jasmine’s look was based off of promotional pictures of The Pussycat Dolls, Destiny’s Child, and Spice Girls outfits, and also of celebrities Teri Hatcher and Alia Shawkat from the 90’s. Aladdin was released in 1992.
Pocahontas’ look was based off of Anthropologie, Free People, and Urban Outfitters clothing from the late 90’s, and also loose pieces found under the tag ‘boho’ and ‘hippie’ on modern sites such as Etsy and Ebay. Pocahontas was released in 1995.
Mulan’s look was based off of models from Sinorama, International Screen, 小姐與太太, and STREET magazines from the late 90’s, as well as characters from movies Chungking Express and Days Of Being Wild. Mulan was released in 1998.
Tiana’s look was based off of GQ, Esquire, Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar magazines from the 2000’s. The Princess And The Frog was released in 2009.
Rapunzel’s look was based on characters from Hardcore Pawn and Worst Cooks In America tv shows, as well as movies The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Easy A, Scott Pilgrim VS The World, and Love, Simon. Tangled was released in 2010.
Anna’s look was based on various real-time fashion looks under the tags ‘grunge’, ‘flannel’, and ‘tomboy’ in various social media timelines. Frozen was released in 2013, and Frozen 2 in 2019.
Elsa’s look was based on red carpet and metgala outfits, as well as Orthodox Scandinavian Christian fabric embroidery from Scandinavia.
Moana's look was based off of various real-time fashion looks under the tags 'athleisure' and 'fitspo'. Moana came out 2016.
Fascinating stuff, thanks! :-)
absolutely love this shot where rose is watching her home planet die off after five billion years and the doctor is just slaying off in the corner

Meanwhile, this brain of mine, sagely:

Last thing I was expecting off this post and wow what a read
today I am making my great-grandmother’s oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. they’re my favorite cookies in the world, and as a kid they lead to me being immeasurably disappointed by every other oatmeal raisin cookie I ever had when I discovered that they weren’t the same. I was given this by my mom, who was given this by her mom, who was given this by her mom; the recipe calls for margarine, which means the current version passed down on recipe cards probably can’t go more than another generation back just because margarine changed recipes due to WWII rationing here—but it might.
I have another cookie recipe from my grandparents on my other side; my grammy’s “chewy ooie gooey” chocolate chip cookies. I don’t try to make these at home as often; they aren’t the same if they aren’t in the kitchen she always made them with us in, and she’s sold that house now. maybe I’ll try again sometime.
I wonder how far that recipe goes back; I wonder if it matters.
the other day I read about bread. there’s evidence that humans were making leavened bread, baking, long before we invented agriculture, or writing, or “society” as humanity understands it now. I wonder if their grandmothers and mothers and great-grandmothers taught them how to do that, too, generations on generations. I wonder if baking is one of the most fundamental ways humans express love we have, built into us the same way as all the others.
I wonder how many other families have cookie recipes that lead to the kids getting immeasurably disappointed when they realize it’s not quite the same when you get it anywhere else, and use margarine and a lot of brown sugar and the collective wisdom of at least three generations. and I wonder how many feel lost when a house is sold.
anyway I love baking,
you know what, just for you: the cookie recipe in question:
great gigi's oatmeal raisin cookies - makes around 5 dozen cookies
1 cup margarine (make sure it’s margarine, so 80% fat, and not butter or vegetable oil spread with a lower fat content!)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda (possibly more? they keep on turning out flat for me and this may be the culprit.)
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup crushed pecans
steps:
1. preheat the oven to 350.
2. mix margarine, sugars, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth.
3. add flour, salt, baking soda, oatmeal and pecans, mix.
4. stir in the raisins (you don't use the mixer for this, though you can)
5. drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheets (a little smaller than a ping-pong ball)
6. bake for 9-10 minutes. do not cook until brown - the middle will look raw and that's correct. instead, cook until the edges are just barely pale tan. if you cook until the edges are brown you've overcooked them. this is the hard part of the recipe for people so i've bolded it.
7. cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then, once they've firmed up a bit more, transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. they will finish cooking like this.
8. eat some cookies, then store the rest in ziplock bags and freeze them. these cookies are delicious frozen and last a good long while in the freezer so don't be afraid to freeze a lot of them!
above is a picture of what the finished cookies look like! they’re very delicious, and much more moist than a lot of oatmeal cookies.
you are a hero and these looks awesome. dreams restored.
