Howdy! This mah SI side blog. That's special interest to any non-AuDHD folks. I got an alphabet of letters, late diagnosed, parent of two children, one with most of my letters.
This is a home for old fashioned kitchen skills. I'll post recipes and stories, cool old cookbooks and fun stuff from my low key adventures.
My main blog is @williamsblood

“There is a lack of representation of butches and studs in all aspects of mainstream society. I think the reason for that continued invisibility is linked to consumerism, that our identities are not seen as marketable.”
Astrology is very popular — both Gallup and YouGov report that about 25% of Americans believe that the position of the stars and planets can
Astrology doesn't seem to work.
Some highlights:
Astrologers helped design the study
No one did better than random chance, even though they only included people in the study who are experienced with astrology and stated that they expect themselves to do better than random chance
They gave every astrologer a set of 50 things about a person and 5 birth charts to choose from. They weren’t even coming up with the chart themselves!
After taking the test, most thought they nailed it. Zero out of 152 did better than 5 out of 12. None nailed it
Astrologers who rated themselves highly experienced (“world class experts”) did the same or worse as those who said they have limited experience. Both performed the same as random chance
This is hilarious
That's got to be the funniest graph ever published in a paper

Americans invented tbe worlds burgled and burglars to apply to robberies because the concept of losing their burger is the scariest thing to them
Follow me for more wikipedia ^
This is shockingly close to the truth.
Both come from the Latin "burgus", meaning castle or fortified town. A burglar being someone who bypassed the security of fortifications.
Meanwhile burger comes via Hamburg, the burg of Hamma.
So burgers are named after fortifications, and burglars are the ones who bypass them.
The Hamburglar is a reunion of terms
official linguistics post
There appears to be some disagreement or uncertainly surrounding whether burglar is actually related to the -burg in Hamburg!
Some sources (the American Heritage Dictionary, etymonline.com) do say that burglar comes from Latin burgus 'fortification'. However, other sources (the OED, Merriam-Webster) are more circumspect and don't assert that connection.
The OED says the word is "of uncertain origin"; and a related-looking word with the same meaning, Anglo-Norman burgesour, is "of obscure origin". Burgus isn't even mentioned as a possibility; it does assert a connection to the obsolete word burgh-breche and thus to Old English burh-bryce, but OED doesn't state that the burh in burh-bryce is the same burh (modern English borough) that is cognate with -burg. In fact, OED's entire etymology for burh-bryce is "compare breach". So at the least, it seems someone at the OED is going out of their way to avoid stating that burglar has this origin.
OED's earliest citation for the word burglar in English text is from 1541, but there are a bunch of citations of similar forms in French and Latin dating back as far as the 13th century, including the hilarious phrase "murdritores et robbatores et burglatores" in Latin in De legibus et consuetudinibus Angliae, a 13th-century Latin treatise on English law.
The verb burgle is a back-formation from burglar, and the earliest attestation of it that any of those dictionaries mention is 1867, referenced but not quoted in Merriam-Webster. Wiktionary gives an 1867 attestation of burgle from the Delaware Tribune, so that may be what M-W is referring to. Wiktionary gives a bunch of other early attestations that assert that burgle is an American coinage, but I don't know how seriously we can take those claims.
OED also mentions a Latin verb burgulare—also perhaps a back-formation?—showing up in English Law Latin in 1354, but doesn't claim that burgle is derived from that.

Ada Limón, from “Instructions on not giving up” in The Carrying: Poems (originally published in 2017)
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
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.
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
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.
sidewalk art I walked by today. there is love out there.
(via Guide to Growing Heirloom Tomatoes [Here Are Our Top Picks])
I will forever die on the hill that one of Florence's biggest influences and inspirations (and very rarely acknowledged because most music journalists don't see past the rigid boxes they put artists on) is Loreena Mckennitt. From the aesthetics, to the voice, the vibe, the music. They are truly mother and daughter. The arrangements of the recently released Chamber Edition of Everybody Scream just prove my point.
If you don't know Loreena check her entire discography because she is truly one of the greats, of all time.
you guys are remembering human beings run these blogs and are leaving nice comments and tags on their posts right? 🤔 you’re remembering that no matter how much you see them post these are still strangers to you and you can’t make assumptions about them right 🤔 you’re remembering that any artist or writer or creative who posts their work on here is being incredibly brave by putting themselves out there and will be seeing everything you write in their tags right 🤔 you guys are remembering the human right 🤔
