Hi! I’m an election official in MA (not going to say where, not trying to dox myself lol) and I just want to clarify what I saw someone had submitted to you about mail-in voting for the September 1st primary:

Ballots don’t have to be postmarked by August 25th to count, but they DO have to be received by your local election office (your town clerk or city election commission) by 8PM on Election Day. That said, USPS advises to allow at least 7 business days for mail to make it from Point A to Point B, so if you aren’t dropping it off in person or to a drop box, make sure to send it with enough time to allow for postal delays.

The August 25th deadline they are referring to is the deadline to APPLY for a mailed ballot, which must be received by your local election office by 5PM.

Gonna make one hundred soups this year. Starting off with kapustnyak, carrot soup, chickpea soup, and parsnip soup.

4% complete.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

8% complete baybeee. This may end up being a long post. Hope you like the colour of the soup.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Can't stop won't stop. 15 soups so far.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Slowed down for a minute because vet bills ate up my grocery budget but made it to 20%, baybEEEE.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Whoops I slowed down but BAM, 25%. I'm gonna make a comeback baybeeEEEE.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

I AM BECOMING SO POWERFUL

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Four new BEAN BASED SOUPS, the first one trailblazing because it was a taco soup recipe courtesy of @alex-of-1000-dumbasseries. 61 IN THE BAG, 39 TO GO.

I am also linking my soup planning doc because I can, and it's easier than tagging all of them individually.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Have I lost all my followers yet? NOT YET. Time for more soups. I'm up to 70 now.

[themythicalcodfish]

OP this is a gorgeous post and I’m so proud of you

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Thank you, I will take these codfish words to my grave. Also, I have achieved 8 more, putting me at 77 soups. How is 70 plus 9 photos 77? I'm glad you asked.

Earlier, I forgot to include a photo of my cock-a-leekie-soup (#57) - pictured above as the first one of this set - and also I MADE TARATOR TWICE by accident so I've struck one from the record since I'm trying to make 100 soups here, not 99 and one twice.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

A new bowl approaches. Bought myself some soup bowls from the 70s with goofy little geese on them for my own birthday (though I did not get them in time for my miyeok-guk), because what else is free will for. This puts me at 86. I JUST MIGHT MAKE IT? SOMEHOW?

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

A COLOURFUL BATCH featuring another Certified Tumblr Soup because people kept recommending Yeto's Soup, and they were right.

How am I at 92? ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN A QUITTER.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

100/100!

[millenomine]

This soup post fills me with warm feelings ... And determination.

‘We genuinely have too many potatoes, I cannot stress enough’: 42,000 pounds of free taters headed to Denver

Twenty-one tons of potatoes are up for grabs at Potato Palooza on Monday.

The nonprofit’s set to receive a donation of 21 tons of tubers this weekend from suppliers in the Midwest. Hoping to get the starchy vegetables to people in need, the nonprofit will host a “Potato Palooza” event on Monday in Park Hill. “Anyone is welcome to come. They can bring tote bags, wagons, you could back up your pickup truck if you wanted to,” Hissong said. The event is 9 a.m. to noon at the Park Hill Food Recovery Hub, 6090 East 39th Avenue, on July 27.

This is the dream

This concludes this broadcast of the emergency potato system.

Magnificent. I love that she has hands with which to strangle people and chain-smoke.

im reading discworld and im on the third book and i only just realized they arent arranged like this

[clockworkrobotic]

when i was a teenager i used to catch myself thinking "i'm really glad i'm alive right now because of all the cool personal technologies that exist" and when i did i'd think it through and reckon that well, its not like teenagers in the 70s and 80s knew they didnt have ipods or facebook or whatever. they were also happy with the tech they had. and i'd reason that in the future there would be more fun technologies that i dont know i'm missing out on right now and the future will be an even cooler time to exist

anyway i was dead fucking wrong about that last part. i hate personal technologies now. i miss having an ipod that doesnt advertise shit to me and i miss when my htc wildfire didnt harass me 45 times a day to install an ai assistant and then install it anyway when i say no and i miss when the internet wasnt 5 websites all of which i have to log into and i miss when i didnt need an app to talk to my landlord. sorry past me you were actually right about 2009

EVERYONE get in the tags rn and tell me your favorite cheese

I took last week off of work

Because my burnout has burnout

I lost most of it to migraines

Which sucks

But what sucks worse is that

I go to work every day with migraines

So my vacation was a success

Because I got to let myself

Rest

Did another Puca Animation test! I wanted to combine the single-suspension gallop of a horse with the double-suspension gallop of a dog to make something really Uncanny.

There's a few places I can smooth her out (esp in the shoulders and tail) but I'm really proud of her gait and that rock.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Round Two! Worked really hard on the muscles, mane/tail, resized ears, bit of a pattern- I'm really pleased with this, but I think that what it needs now is to go from 12 frames to 24.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Did some Tweaks- got the coat colors a little more consistent, fixed the rock issue and got rid of a few lines that weren't matching up nicely, so she's a LOT Smoother IMHO.

I think I still need to draw 12 more frames for this to REALLY look like I want it, but she's really coming along!
