hot take possibly? but i actually think it’s okay for things to be marketed for adults. it’s literally okay if things aren’t suitable for children. i feel like we are losing the plot

[bleekay]

its so shiddy when u have to convince yourself to do your hobbies. like, its fun, you like it, why cant you just do it. do it. do it. but what if.... mindless media consumption instead....

[bleekay]

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

For those that asked:

Zuppa Toscana

Ingredients

6 russet potatoes, sliced into half circles

1lb sausage (hot italian sausage recommended)

32 oz chicken broth

1 yellow onion, cut however you want

Garlic - think "what's a lot of garlic?" double that amount, minced

1 bunch kale - stem removed, tear it up (can be larger than "bite sized pieces", as they will wilt)

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Seasoning - I do not measure these and I never will. Season to taste. (Paprika, Salt, Pepper, Oregano, Bay Leaves, Cayenne, Cumin)

Instructions

In a large soup pot, brown the sausage and break apart/crumble as it cooks. Throw the onion and spices in there, mix that all up and cook till the sausage is cooked thoroughly. Add minced garlic, cook for 1-2 min.

Add chicken stock and potatoes. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. I let it simmer for about 15 min, longer (maybe 25-30?) if you want the potatoes to break down more and create a chowdery texture.

Add the kale. Stir it in until wilted and doesn't seem like too much kale anymore. Maybe 2-3 min.

Turn off the stove. Add heavy cream a little at a time while stirring it in.

Serve and top it off as you see fit. I like shredded parmesan and red pepper flakes

One of my favorite soups! I saw the first panel and I ingredient went ZUPPA!

I usually substitute half-and-half, instead of heavy cream. (That's how mom made it. I might try the cream next time.) Spinach is a good substitute for the kale.

Also, most other versions of this have bacon, but YMMV.

hey, don't cry. take a heaping quarter cup of flour, a bit less than a quarter cup of water, a tablespoon of soft butter, and a pinch each of salt and baking powder, mix them up together, smash the dough flat, bake at 350 F for 15 minutes and you have a little mini flatbread! put some mozzarella and pepperoni on it and bake for five more minutes and you have a personal almost-pizza, ok?

(via @lady-merian ) You are a GENIUS and I’m gonna have to try it fried now.

[winterinhimring]

(via @kraytwriter) I am over the moon that my recipe is actually being used! I have been looking delightedly at your tags all morning. Please tell the Offspring thank you from me! I need to make myself a batch of the garlic and rosemary variant of these…

[winterinhimring]

@lady-merian I made the oregano-garlic variant to go with supper and it's excellent! I left it unattended in the pan a little too long and it got a teensy bit crispy, but it's still good!

[lady-merian]

Hurrah!

Beaded Rainbow Odenwald Shawl!

Lost my mind a little and added (if my math is correct) 5,615 beads to Nim Teasdale's Odenwald pattern. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!

The goal was “soothingly weighted but not uncomfortable to wear, even as someone with chronic pain.” It could have been a little heavier, so maybe I’ll make a shawl with larger beads another time, but I’m very pleased with this one. I used size 6/0 seed beads, applied as I go with a .6mm crochet hook.

Yarn-wise, used 2 cakes of YarnArt Flowers. I knitted the fully purple sections from both, then knitted all the way through the yellow-oranges with a single ball. When I hit the beginning of red-oranges, I used yarn from both cakes, alternating between them. (Not the entirety of both, I played it by ear to make sure I made it through the full rainbow.)

I do have edited charts with bead placements. I will only share them with Nim's permission.

I've done A LOT of knitting/crochet this year while chronic illness kept me from my sewing machine, but I'm feeling much better now. There will be new quilts to look forward to soon, plus a few more yarn crafts to share in the meantime!

I will never let AI touch my art, even as it becomes more and more prevalent in today’s society. I like to think that every part of the process, from coming up with the ideas to handwriting all the words, is special because it’s coming from me. I put my whole heart into my art, and I hope that it shows!

In this AI dystopia, your favorite artists need you more than ever! Join their Patreons, buy from their online stores, like or engage with their art on social media. Let’s uplift human artists over AI that continues to profit off of the backs of millions of artists that it stole from.
