Quick little meal: pork cube steak, twice-cooked potato, and wilted winter greens with onions, vinegar, a little cayenne for kick and some cranberries for sweetness.

Yesterday, I cut up a pumpkin and reserved the seeds for later roasting. Apparently this is one eager pumpkin seed, ready to become a plant.
To ight's #operationstonecoldfox dinner: pumpkin soup ( #vegetarian and so yummy) with pear-celery salad and bread and butter. #meatless and #healthy and #delicious
Nice little #healthy election night dinner: pan-seared strip steak, baked potato, steamed broccoli. Let's see if I keep it down.
This month, in word counts. This is why I don't do #nanowrimo .
Quick (less than 30 minutes!) throw together #healthy meal: rigatoni with chicken and broccolini, tossed around with white wine and lemon and garlic.
Nothing bad can come out of a properly filled stock pot.
I may have watched this video about fifty times already, and all of you should too.
Music You Need to Hear: “Whenever Not Ever”
It’s always a sad moment when a band you love breaks up; especially if (like me) many of the bands you love manage to break up before you get a chance to see them perform live. That being said, many good things can come out of band breakups—which brings me to this installment of Music You Need to Hear.

Michael! Out of the chief’s office? Jesus - alright - this is - we can fix this. How much have you made, who have you sold it to, and how many murders are you allowed to commit in California? Is it… eight?
[the episode]
One of easily my favorite episodes. I need a lamp with a plant in front of it.
In the latest Music Notes, Freddie Mercury gets a few editorial suggestions about a song that’s not about sex, maybe.
Why Queen’s Lyrics are Secretly Ridiculous
I feel like a bad person because I know this was a comedic take and all and I couldn’t catch the joke because my brain froze at: “Daniel Vincent Gordh dressed as Freddie Mercury, is this like the ultimate wet dream?” … I feel so bad. Maybe I should re-watch it over and over until I actually manage to remember the words they are saying. .__.
We’re told it’s a common issue.
Welcome new followers!
I saw that cracked re-posted my old article about terrifying archaeological discoveries and figured that was probably where the influx of new folks came from.
I sadly don’t post with any real consistency on here, but you’re welcome to peruse at your leisure. Thank you for coming by and following me! Most of my posts are dedicated to my obsession with music, so be prepared for lots and lots of words about why you should listen to this, that, or the other band, group, or individual.
The Return of Music You Need to Hear
As most of you are aware, every so often I take a break fromthe busy schedule of beating up my keyboard for money to come on here and tell you about music you need to hear. I’m not very good at consistency, so it’s been a while since my last posting—but I’m excited enough about the act that I’m talking about today that I set aside paid work for a bit to gush to all of you about how much you NEED this song and this group in your life.
The song in question? Goodbye Baby by Like Strangers. You need this song. The beautiful thing is that you don’t even have to take my word for it. Follow this link, listen to the song, and revel in the delicious glory before you download it.

No, but think about this.
The crows she feeds obviously have their own little lives. They go about their business, and they spot *pretty thing* or /unique thing/ in question. What gets me is that the *first* thing on their minds as recipient of this thing is the little girl that feeds them.
They spot a thing, and immediately must think, “that nice girl with delicious foodstuffs must have this to show my gratitude.”
Crows and most of the family they belong to have excellent memories. When they rise up to kill humanity, this girl will be spared.
PAYPAL IS TRYING TO SLIP THE RUG UNDER US. Or they may have said this and just no one read about it or noticed/knew.
OKAY SO BEFORE YOU SEND ANY MONEY FOR THAT AWESOME COMMISSION YOU WANT TO BUY FROM THAT AWESOME ARTIST. PLEASE STOP AND READ THIS.
Paypal changed the look of how you will fill out information and send money. Thus, you need to be super careful. Don’t go all willy nilly through and be like “Yeah yeah yeah send” you need to stop when you see this screen right away.
Before you proceed, you will first notice one major thing: your address is showing. What you need to do if you are ordering a DIGITAL WORK (aka, it is being sent to you via the interwebz) is you need to click on your address and there around be a drop down menu of 3 (or more) options:
No address needed
Your Current Address
+ Add a new shipping address
Be sure to select “No address needed”, it is very important that you do. If you leave your address in there, Paypal will assume that you are to receive a physical package. A physical package which needs proof that exists physically. Paypal will want the artist to provide shipping labels and tracking info on said package. This is bad, very, very bad. Artists can get in trouble if they cannot provide these things.
Please, if an artist asks to send you back your money so that you can send it again correctly, do not be offended. You are paying them to do your commission, how can they do your commission with no money?
Reblog this, send this around, if you want to make a proper tutorial go ahead, I hope this was clear enough as it is.
Since you are black and proud, I will test you with this question: How does a woman carry a child in her stomach for 9 months, go through all the pain, hold it in her arms, and end up calling it Laquisha?
Laquisha is a French variant of the Swahili name “Lakiesha" which means "favorite”. In addition, the name is also a French variant from the original Latin ”Leticia” which means gay, delighted, or joyful and is the name of an old Roman Goddess, Laetitia. I’m not only black and proud, I’m also a former linguistics student, avid reader of mythology, and Tumblr. Your tests mean nothing to me. So to answer your question, how does she end up naming her daughter after a Goddess? Pretty pridefully I’d hope, our women are Goddesses.
So many names that people consider “ghetto” are very meaningful in other cultures, so when people reduce these names to “ghetto” they display their own ignorance.
LOL you guys really are idiots if you think even half the people I see naming their kids shit like that know where the name comes from or what it actually means.
Why do you assume that? How do you know what they know? Do you have a sixth sense?
Well because I interact with people in real life. Someone tells me they’ve named their kid something like that and I say something like “Oh that’s a pretty name! What made you choose that?” and the most common answer I get back is “I just thought it was pretty” or “It’s my moms name” or something equally valid but having absolutely nothing to do with the meaning of the name or it’s origin.
So based off your few experiences with people giving their children unique names you now know that everyone who gives their child a name doesn’t know what it means? How unique must a name be for the meaning to be required knowledge? Do you think people naming their children Robert know what it means? Or is it not important because it’s a common name?
I never claimed to know about everyone. I said less than half the people who name their kids something like that will actually know what the name means. I personally don’t care what people name their kids, I just think it’s funny when people try to act like there’s some grandiose cultural reason for doing something when most of the people doing it have no idea it has any significance.
Where is your “less than half” statistic coming from? If you don’t care what people name their kids why jump in on this post?
Well, that’s because OP answered Anon with such condescension like “All black people are aware of this origin for the name so obviously we name or babies after goddesses and we do it proudly.” I’m simply using the less than half statement as a turn of phrase. I definitely don’t have actual numbers, obviously.
you realize that the Op was being attacked tho right? Like the only reason they had to give such a thorough and seemingly condescending answer is because they were getting hate mail for being proud to be black. Going after names from black culture is classic antiblack racism. The op was experiencing racism yet is supposed to respond humbly?
Well that’s just stupid, no one deserves hate mail for being proud of their race. No matter what that race is. It’s just interesting that there seems to be this desire to make your race seem the best and brightest and anyone who disagrees is automatically a racist. There’s a difference between pride and arrogance, is all I’m saying.
Let’s say that they had given a more simple answer? What happens after that? More hatemail about how they don’t know what they’re talking about, more attacks on them having pride in themselves, more racial remarks. They HAD to be thorough so that their answer carried validity. OP never said that black people are better, they said they’re proud to be black. If that makes you feel like they’re trying to be superior maybe you should take some time to think about why that is.
"Well that’s just stupid, no one deserves hate mail for being proud of their race. No matter what that race is.

Take a look at what they said. A racist acted arrogant over a “black name”, but its the black people who are “arrogant” for responding in a way that mirrors the asker’s rather condescending tone. It was never about the name, it was about a black person getting too “uppity” for their liking, hence it was time to take them down a peg. People always get offended at black people who don’t view themselves in a negative light in comparison to other groups, especially if they don’t make an effort to dull themselves when dealing with racism. We’re supposed to challenge overt racism in a way that is generic enough that everyone else (but us) benefits and the racists feel comfortable, but we aren’t supposed to challenge the feelings of inferiority that racism is supposed to impose on US specifically.
