why did you delete the "I'm thinking of making a guy" post?

I used my future vision to predict the comments to that post. All of it was about pregnancy and balls. I chose not to go down that road.

It's spring now which means the kids in my city have started drawing hopscotches on the sidewalk and as a rule I do every hopscotch I see because 1. Use it or lose it (ability to scotch) and 2. If a child got down on the hardscrabble streets of Boston Massachusetts to draw a scotch the least I can do is use it, but in doing the hopscotches, I've learned that about 50% of them are the typical 8-10 step scotch and the other 50% are. Somewhat avant-garde. And of course I'm not vetting the entire scotch before I start it so sometimes it's like haha 8 steps woo! Childlike whimsy! And sometimes they're 20 steps or 30 or they've got a section with three squares instead of two where you have to do a little Charleston to step on all three, or, memorably, FORTY one foot squares. A full BLOCK of jumping on one foot but I'm no quitter so once I've started Jigsaw Junior's fuckin hopscotch gauntlet I'm there til the end just a daily pot smoker in her thirties jumping kasa-obake style through an affluent suburb while some little proto-kennedy watches from his bedroom window rubbing his sadistic little third grade hands together and cackling. It's amazing. I love spring.

follow up to a previous ask, how do we know raccoons can’t be trans?

also devastating news that raccoons can’t be lesbians :(

We know (to the best of our knowledge) that raccoons can’t be trans because 1) unlike animals such as ducks and some types of fish raccoons do not possess the ability to physically transition and 2) while raccoons have emotions that are far more complex than say a cat or a dog, they do not (to our knowledge) have the emotional complexity to understand gender roles, dysphoria, or gender identity.

Now, as far as the lack of lesbian raccoons goes, I was devastated at first as well. However, I reminded myself that not all relationships need to be sexual and/or romantic to be meaningful and interesting. And relationship dynamics between female raccoons are so incredibly interesting! Raccoon culture travels though females, mother-daughter relationships are incredibly strong and often last long past when raccoons should typically leave their mothers, and female raccoons paired in captivity can and do bond very closely.

I think it's very funny when I run across someone who's blog I'm eh on bc they're like, mildly annoying in a way that I'm thinking of blocking them for and then I realize that they're under 23 and I go ohhhhhh okay. they haven't figured it out yet

[pissbunn]

It's funny how the cutoff point keeps rising with age too. I'm 29 and if you're like 25 i know you're still halfway through starting the journey and i'm the grizzled old woman giving you a rusty sword in tutorial village and asking that you slay the slimes in my basement

[punkitt-is-here]

and as someone who is 25 I agree I'm probably gonna be like this when I'm 60 with like 58 year olds

CONFIRMED

CONFIRMED

CONFIRMED

CONFIRMED FOR DONALD AND GLADSTONE’S CARS

[corsaircaptain]

Given Donald’s history, I wouldn’t be surprised if he first started liking pink in the ironic sense because he found out Hitler hated it. After a while it just grew on him, although he is contractually obligated to still wear his iconic blue sailor suit by The Walt Disney Company™.

Also, check out Donald in the eighties:

PINK!!!

[pronouncingitwang]

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

[whitachi]

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

[araceil]

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.
