A note for those who have trouble measuring butter with a spoon as I do: one cup I am sixteen tablespoons. Butter/margarine bricks are usually a half a cup, so just cut one eighth of that amount
These are really good! And yes, for the love of god, if you have it use white sugar and brown sugar, add just a pinch of salt, and as many chocolate chips as you darn well please. Great with icecream, whipped cream on top, or a tall glass of milk (keep in mind you gotta eat it with a spoon, you can’t dip it in milk)
i was reading about diane marchant one of the women who wrote one of the first ever spirk fics “a fragment out of time” and i saw this pic of her and now i want to cry
Go to paypal.me/heartwires and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
shayma escaped gaza before the crossing closed and has been struggling to care for her family of 16 in egypt. rent is skyrocketing, and now her brother needs help funding his master's degree. she just lost her childhood friend and her friend's family, she needs support right now.
she didn't ask me to post this, i just wanna show her there's still people out there who care. please help her
Children in Gaza are losing their limbs every day—just like the little girl in this heartbreaking photo. The war has stolen their futures, their mobility, and their right to live in peace. My own son, Qais, is just two years old. He was injured in an airstrike, and I cannot afford the medical treatment he desperately needs. As a mother with no income, I beg you—please Donate and help us. Your donation could be the reason Qais walks again.
This is the terrifying reality for many children in Gaza:
1. Airstrikes often target residential areas, leaving children with life-altering injuries.
2. Hospitals lack medicine and equipment, and most families cannot afford private care.
3. Children like Qais are at risk of permanent disability, even death, without timely treatment.
I watch my child cry in pain every night, and I can do nothing but hold him. No mother should face this. We need your support now more than ever. Every donation—no matter the amount—can help save Qais’s , his future, and his life. Please, don’t look away. Help us heal.

If Qais was your only son, would you let him face the same fate or would you help him?
Yes, I will donate 😭💔
Yes, I will Reblog 😭💔

Vetted by @gazavetters , my number verified on the list is ( #64 )🍉🇵🇸
I'd like to remind everybody that this isn't just about A03 or civil rights organizations. This could be applied to any 501 organization. That includes churches, schools, museums and library support organizations. All sorts of support organizations like soup kitchens or places like goodwill. Those are all non-profit organizations and they all have a 501 status. This is a threat to every civil organization we have that is meant to help the public.
So please contact your representatives. Please look this up on Twitter and click the link so you can call your representatives and voice against this. Because there's a hell of a lot more at stake with a bill like this than just ao3. People's lives could be at risk.
The House will vote THIS WEEK to determine whether the incoming Trump administration will have the power to shut down non-profit organizations with no due process.
Congress has already tried to fast-track this legislation once and failed because of the onslaught of calls to their offices. We can’t let them do this quietly. Congress giving Trump the power to crush dissent and target organizations fighting for justice is a betrayal. Tell your representatives to vote NO on this dangerous bill!
This means that it's heading over to the Senate, where they'll tinker with it and vote again.
If it passes the Senate, it goes to the President, who has the option to veto.
Which means NOW you reach out to your Senators (both of them) and tell them that you want them to vote NO on this Trojan horse of awful.
But: we have two more chances to keep this from becoming law. The fight's not over yet.
And that's not even the good news!
For various reasons of political fuckery/ rules lawyering, this bill had to go through TWO rounds of votes in Congress to get through.
It didn't pass the first time because it had a higher threshold of votes to meet (2/3 Congress Critters had to vote yes) and it failed because it couldn't clear that bar.
So the people behind the bill sent it through AGAIN in a way that needed fewer votes to pass (only 1/2 of Congress Critters had to vote yes). This time it got through.
But along the way, almost 40 people changed their vote to "No". ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR OUTREACH.
That's huge.
Here's the home page for the bill. Check out the "Roll Call Votes" section to see how your Representative voted:
Summary of H.R.9495 - 118th Congress (2023-2024): Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act
Personally? Mine flipped her vote from "Yes" in the first round to "No" in the second.
Outreach. Works.
So, what do we do now?
Click the link above, and see how your Rep voted
Send them an email thanking them for their support/ telling them how disappointed you are. Why? Because it's important to let them know you pay attention to how they vote.
Contact your Senators (both of them) and ask them to vote NO
Contact the White House and let President Biden know you want him to veto this thing if it hits his desk

very subjective highlights of the will wood show in casey for anyone who didn’t make it (which is most people because who lives in central illinois)
i got him to ring the world’s largest wind chime at the beginning of the show (and he rang it again at the end)
venetian blind man live for the first time ever
switching the lsd line from skeleton appreciation day to “i am in a public place and i have already cursed way too much”
the entire crowd getting really emotional at like 4 different songs
tossing his shoe and saying “take a look” at the “i wear the same size as you” during laplace, then saying “what the fuck” when someone threw it back
making multiple jokes then profusely apologizing for them (including “sometimes you poke the bear called the algorithm and it spits out money. OH MY GOD I DONT OPERATE MY SHIT LIKE THAT AT ALL THAT WAS A JOKE PLEASE DONT BELIEVE THAT”)
meeting his girlfriend, petting his rat casper, and getting rat care advice from her (his gf not his rat 💀)
someone requesting suburbia and he says “on a ukulele??” then someone saying bbw and he says “ON A UKULELE??” then i say willard and he says “WHY ARE YOU REQUESTING THESE SONGS ON A UKULELE”
someone requesting aikido and he says “i cant play that. physically, i can, but emotionally it will destroy me. i will never forgive you for this” and then him immediately playing it
getting to nerd out about our mutual favorite band (man man) at the end of the show then taking the world’s dorkiest photo
the show ending with chemical overreaction and his aaaaAAAAAAAAAA
