I get that executive dysfunction makes you not want to do the things that you don’t want to do but making you not want to do the things that you want to do? actually evil

Do I need this 1930s refrigerator

#the longfeather discord says Yes #it's a 1930s ge monitor top with a 1940s square replacement top #i saw it in a home improvement thrift store just sitting with the other fridges like it's not an actual antique #i don't know for sure if it works but there's a very good chance it does #and if it doesn't there's a whole forum of monitor top enthusiasts who would know how to fix it #(note that my current fridge is more than sufficient for my needs. it's half empty. i don't need a second fridge. i need a chest freezer)#(but! i like it)#edit: the store said it doesn't work. i could still try to fix it but considering i don't have a garage #and i was already struggling to find a place for it #that would mean having a partially disassembled fridge in my living room for however long it took to fix #which is less than ideal #also transportation is a problem

Hoping to prove it out with some additional test breeding, but I'm 99% certain that the left morph is homo/hemi SLB + homo EB, while the right is wild type or wild type het SLB + homo EB. Or, by phenotype, sex linked brown tibetan or wild type tibetan.

If this proves out to be the case, as I expect it will, it will also mean I'm correct in wanting to clean SLB from my lines. For a few years now, I've been pretty sure that cleaning SLB out would mean blacker blacks in ALL morphs, not just pharaoh. It would mean that tibetan, a solid black/brown patterned bird, would look MUCH better in wild type color vs a muddy brown.

I wonder if part of the selection that the black quail breeders are doing is removing slb?

PROJECT HAIL MARY 2026 • dir. Phil Lord & Christopher Miller

#Rocky's concept of how long a hug goes on is going to be based upon #the single loneliest human in all of space #which is hilarious to me #< prev tags #project hail mary

I hate throwing away food but like. It might be time to say goodbye to the last couple slices of this pie from my previous job that have been taking up space in my freezer for half a year

#just ate one and.#well between working in the pie factory completely ruining mass-produced pie for me and my new job making handmade candy #it felt like a chore more than anything #i can get quality desserts whenever i want to #speaking of which the reason i was trying to eat it was to clear space in my freezer for an ice cream maker i got for $1 #(favorite thrift store is closing :( sad but i did get a big box of stuff super cheap)

I love the dynamic in the Discworld fandom on this site, I think it's mainly because there are a lot of dormant fans, if you will, who've read and loved the books for years but haven't engaged much recently, who sort of reappear whenever a fun post is doing the rounds. It's fantastic. We get the cozy small fandom vibe without the screaming matches, but also get the popular posts from time to time, y'know?

YEP. In fact for some people it’s Emotions Day right now.

datsderbunnyblog

To everyone tagging and commenting with some variation of “Oh, I almost forgot that it’s tomorrow!”

“Damn! Damn! Damn! Every year he forgot. Well, no. He never forgot. He just put the memories away like old silverware that you didn’t want to tarnish. And every year they came back, sharp and sparkling, and stabbed him in the heart. And today, of all days...”

That’s so very meta of you.

IT'S EMOTIONS DAY TOMORROW

datsderbunnyblog

#oh I need to read enough discworld to understand what emotions day is

For anyone who's confused today, I won't spoil/explain what the 25th of May is in the Discworld fandom, because I think a big part of what's special about it is the way the plot unfolds in the book.

What I will explain though is that it'll make sense when you reach a book called Night Watch, which is the 29th book in the overall series and the 6th book in the City Watch subseries. If you haven't got that far yet, just take your time and enjoy the series! If you want to start with the City Watch stories then the first book you should check out is Guards! Guards!

And have fun!

It's that time of year where this post appears again like Reg Shoe digging his way out of his own grave

Man executive dysfunction is like. I'll go for long stretches of time where preparing food feels like Too Much Work but then every once in a while it's like Yeah! Let's spend hours cooking come on this is fun

And you kind of have to make the most of that energy when it's there and make as many freezable meals as you can so you have something to eat when cooking feels impossible

#i really need to get myself a chest freezer

I am getting a good grade in feeding myself, which is normal to want and possible to achieve

#made 16 bigbpasties the other night and put them in the freezer. 16 prepared meals ready to reheat whenever #and just now i made chili cheese fries!#ive been practicing making french fries from scratch and this time i added a can of chili and some cheddar #even cut up a little bit of fresh onion to sprinkle on top. why not i have to wash the knife and cutting board anyway

Wandering around all the shops in town because they're finally all open for the summer and I haven't been to all of them yet. How long can I get away with pretending to be a tourist before I start to get Recognized

somefishycat

There's a forge, a glassblowing shop, and a lapidary here. And like, I kind of knew that already, it's a big tourist town with lots of craft shops, but Damn
