Franz Kafka diary

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.

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.

In today's "Not A Bad Bit Of Snark" dep't at Bluesky...

(For those curious about why he's so pissed off: the Daily Kos story spells it out.) ...Tl;dr:

The film’s success at the box office comes after weeks of a bigoted right-wing campaign led by multibillionaire GOP donor Elon Musk, who railed against the film for casting people of color and LGBTQ+ actors, including Lupita Nyong’o and Zendaya—who are both Black—and Elliot Page—who is transgender.

Throwback to when I cosplayed Jessica. I was deeply insecure but something about dressing up as her gave me confidence! She really is a state of mind.

⚠️THE ODYSSEY SPOILERS⚠️

the fact that either as a hallucination-type manifestation of his guilt or athena herself, the goddess of wisdom and strategy, chose to wear the face of a young girl who was needlessly killed due to a winning strategy is one of the best choices in the adaptation imo

Jon Bernthal and Lupita Nyong'o 👑👑

It never fails. Racists are so predictable. Any time a Black woman gets a role that's been previously played by White women, the racists have to whine and bitch about it. Helen of Troy isn't real. Athena isn't real. Any woman of any ethnicity and nationality could play these roles. It's never that serious.

In 1950, Orson Welles cast Eartha Kitt as Helen of Troy in his avant-garde stage production, Time Runs (also known as The Blessed and the Damned), in Paris.

Because Helen of Troy is a purely mythological figure—the legendary daughter of the Greek god Zeus and Leda—and not a documented historical person, performers of diverse ethnic backgrounds are frequently cast to reinterpreting her character on stage and screen.

Zendaya is playing Athena but it's not the first time a non White woman has played this role. Athena has been played by Audra Day.

Andra Day: The Grammy-winning singer and actress was cast to portray Athena in the second season of the Disney+ live-action series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
