it's called the weekend because it is a time when you're weakened

[fr1yys]

Listened to this while drawing another Fitzjames

[depressedcorvid]

15:23-- i love my frens :D

00:05-- I worship at the altar of hypocrisy. All these people you mock, and yet you are no better. The heart of man--one of the most rotten in nature, and you are one of them.

03:47-- I have destroyed and betrayed myself for nothing--for what have I done it all? Did I ever truly think I could achieve anything in this miserable existence? To make something of myself? Ha!--

07:16-- birdie :DDDD

ive said it time & time again stand mixers need an "eeeasy does it" setting

[moveslikekeithrichards]

weve all experienced a little Flour Blast in our lives but my absolute favorite cake recipe involves pouring a cup of boiling water into an absolute fuckton of batter right at the very end so its already like, pretty close to the top of the bowl and then you basically have to mix it 85% of the way by hand (which is not an easy task) because if you turn it on before that it will slop boiling chocolate water All over the counter

(and YES i could just mix it by hand, i could mix the whole Thing by hand if i wanted to, but like, im using the mixer for a reason!!!!!)

[moveslikekeithrichards]

recipe for my favoritest chocolate pound cake since a few people asked. this is my go-to for potlucks & shindigs and everyone loves it (typing it out bc i only have it on a skanky little scrap of paper)

1 1/2 cups butter (softened) 3 cups sugar 5 eggs 3 cups flour 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 8 oz sour cream 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Get somebody to grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan for you bc that is an absolute bitch to do. PRO TIP: This is a runny batter. If you're using a pan with a removable bottom like me, I like to wrap foil around the underside like a diaper and put the whole thing on a cookie sheet, because it has seeped out before.

Mix butter & sugar. Add eggs one at a time.

Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, & salt in their own bowl. Add to wet slop alternately with the sour cream.

Add vanilla & boiling water. Try not to slop boiling water all over the counter.

Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. This is a recipe where I've found it always takes the full amount of time, but I still always check it early a couple times just in case.

Cool it in the pan for a little while before attempting to dislodge. I like to dust the top with powdered sugar. This especially works wonders if you mangle it while dislodging.

[homunculus-argument]

Has either of your parents ever accidentally called you/your siblings the wrong name? (someone else's name, like other sibling, pet, etc)

Yes, at least once

No, but I've seen it happen to someone else

No, never

I don't have pets/siblings/parents/hair

job interviewer: would you be willing to destroy and betray yourself for nothing?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

today I found out my mother doesn’t know what dandelions are and now I’m wondering what other strange secrets she’s been quietly harboring

[krystal-prisms]

Where do you live that you don’t have dandelions?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

we have dandelions EVERYWHERE, they are basically our State Weed, it is absolutely impossible that my mom has never interacted with a dandelion before, this requires further investigation

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

So after extensive interrogation I have an update:

my mom is in fact aware that dandelions exist. she temporarily forgot the name and there was some miscommunication.

the truth is actually weirder

she’s aware dandelions look like this

she is familiar with this flower. she knows the name of this flower. she declines to believe, however, that these are also dandelions

she does not believe these are the same plant. I tried to explain, and she thought I was either misinformed or lying. so I asked her what exactly did she think the yellow ones were called?

she answered, with complete confidence: Daffodils.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

gosh I enjoy this website

[authoratmidnight]

For comparison, this is a daffodil

[quietlygrousing]

See, folks in the southern US will tell you up and down those are buttercups, actually.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i don’t think so? i’m southern and buttercups are what we call these things (much tinier)

[maejacrezz007]

Wait I thought those bigger cup ones were Easter Lillies???

[fractiousrvt]

This is an Easter Lily. It is an actual lily and therefore deadly to cats.

[blood-trip-god2]

They’re marigolds and I know a bitch when I see one!

[delphinidin4]

This is a marigold:

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

….we need to start taking the phrase “go touch grass” more literally. go outside and examine a flower i beg u

[jmtorres]

“buttercups” is a name applied to MANY flowers. in my part of the south it was this one:

imo there’s correct identifications of dandelions, daffodils, easter lilies and marigolds in this thread, but buttercups are simply impossible to agree on and the only solution is for everyone to post pictures of their local buttercups

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

*squints* is that a motherfucking EVENING PRIMROSE?!??

Hello I would like to add to the confusion:

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

[delphinidin4]

*Puts hand over gaud’s mouth* It’s a butterfly pea. Please ignore the Latin name.

i donated my body to a medical school to use as a cadaver and honestly it’s not great for me because i’m like i should live it the fuck up and catch every disease so they really have something to work with and i’m not the most boring betty in the cadaver selection
