My Gumbo Recipe
Roux (either flour and butter or instant roux mix)
3 stalks celery
2 green bell peppers
1 white onion
Green onions (or scallions)
Approx. 1 lb andouille sausage (kielbasa works if you can’t find andouille)
Approx. 1 lb chicken breast
Rice
Ritz crackers
Filé, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Tabasco, etc. (Optional)
Directions:
Use the biggest pot you have.
Chop all the veggies except the green onions. Save those for the end.
Make a roux (either check a couple videos about this or be a lazy Cajun like me and follow the instructions on the Tony Chachere’s instant roux package).
Add a bunch of water to the roux. I use a 2 quart pitcher to add a few cups’ worth at a time.
With the stove on medium heat, stir the veggies every so often while you chop the meat. It’ll eventually boil. I like to cut the (precooked) sausage first so I can have a little snack, then cut the chicken into roughly 1" chunks. I am imprecise in my cutting.
You can wait until the onions are starting to turn translucent, or just add the meat whenever. Continue stirring every few minutes to keep the pot from boiling over and to just…you know, move the veggies and meat around. You’re making swamp magic. This takes a while. You might need to add more water.
Make some white rice. We use a rice cooker, but you can do stovetop too.
The gumbo is done when the onions are translucent, the chicken has started staining a tan/brown, and the skin on the sausage is shrinking.
Chop the green onions and add them. Do better than me and actually remember to do this.
Serve! Fill your bowl maybe halfway with rice, add some gumbo to it. Experiment with how much broth you like in your bowl. Break up some Ritz crackers for a delicate, buttery crunch that also soaks up some broth. Optional: add filé (dried ground sassafras), hot sauce, Cajun seasoning (pro tip: Slap Ya Mama is less salty than Tony Chachere’s).
Enjoy your meal and don’t bare-knuckle box any alligators. Hug them instead.
This is my grandma Genevieve Fontenot’s recipe. This woman got hit by a bus when she was twelve and she won. She learned English as a second language and previously only spoke Cajun French. She designed her own house, owned a beauty salon, raised four daughters, and slaps cockroaches to death with her bare hands.
I have used this recipe to impress my Midwestern in-laws and friends. Actually…I think I’ve made all my lasting Midwestern friendships by making gumbo. My husband literally says he married me for my gumbo. The recipe above is a standard batch, but in the last 12+ years I’ve only made double or triple batches because that’s how voracious Midwesterners be when they haven’t been raised on gumbo.
Go forth and make some swamp magic! I’d love to see pics!
howdy ladies and gaydies, I spent ages making this What Tarot Card Are You quiz which has ZERO pop culture references and lots of horror / surrealist writing! (also if you get death I’m sorry)

This is the biggest attack on my character I have ever seen
as much as the concept of Jesus being a fairly normal lad has its charms, im personally very intrigued by the idea of him being just… extremely weird. not even in a mystical sense, just…….staggeringly BIZZARRE.
you go to the well to get some water, and here’s Miriam’s boy, staring at the sky, completely still. his expression is unreadable. you hazard a hello and ask how he’s doing, and he slowly, unblinkingly, lowers his gaze on you (he’s 8 and is missing his frontal teeth, not that this is making you any less uncomfortable) and says “I cannot speak of the state of my being, Nathan son of Saul, my brother, but rejoice for the water you shall take today will be as pure as the soul of the children of Heaven”
…you start sweating
normal person in 1st century Nazareth: making my way downtown, walking fast
*sees J boy, 8 yo, staring at you from across the street*
normal person: walking faster
even funnier, the only person 100% on board with his Prophetic Kid Talk is his mother Miriam, an otherwise placid, absolutely normal woman around 25 or so
kid JC, coming home at twilight, a single white dove following him and chirping with weirdly human-like precision:

This post is so Christian, but it’s the spicy kind of Christian that gets you murdered by other Christians for heresy, so I’m torn.
literally biggest form of compliment i’ve ever gotten
that means the angels are babysitters then
here have more
Hey I heard you’re giving out anxiety, can I have 1 anxiety please?
yes, here is a baby oarfish
that’s a BABY?
boy howdy are you in for a treat! introducing, the Oarfish!
MA! THERE’S A WEIRD FUCKING FISH!
Not much is known about Oarfish. Their maximum length is debatable, though there are reports of specimen up to 56 ft long. They live at great depths, and are rarely observed alive. Here’s a relatively small one:
Slightly larger one:
aaaaand, little bigger:
Yeah. these children get long. hold on a mo’, i might have a better photo
yeah. there we go. a few hundred lbs of Oarfish. like i said, length-variable. that one’s only about 28 feet though. so like, imagine that but double.
look how excited everyone is. well, everyone but the fish. oh, fun fact! they can self-amputate up to 3/4th of their body. lizard style.
Historically, Oarfish have been described as sea serpents, and are probably responsible for a fair portion of myths. In Japanese folklore, their appearance portends earthquakes. Though rarely seen, Oarfish live in every ocean. All around the world. Everywhere. No matter what coastline you’re on, they’re always there. Just a few thousand feet below water. Waiting.
Watching.
Blathers in AC said that oarfish were considered the messengers of the gods so I drew this guy with a scroll in his mouth like a month ago
who the fuck looked at an oarfish and decided Ah Yes, Heavenly Messengers???
Adam Savage Rides in a Custom Rickshaw Carriage He Built For His Boston Robotics Spot Robot to Pull Along
It’s every bit as extra as I would expect from Adam Savage
this just looks like those pictures of victorians imagining a horseless carriage with a robo-horse
Look at how adorable excited and proud he is! I fucking love Adam Savage
Alphonse Mucha
“Alfons Maria Mucha (Ivančice, 24 July 1860 – Prague, 14 July 1939), often known in English and French as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, known best for his distinct style. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements, postcards, and designs.”
this is what i hoped my Mucha calendar would look like, spoilers, it did not
My brain on a loop
unmuting Made me reblog this what are u talking about
I run dnd for a bunch of teenagers at the public library twice a month, and I created a character for them to like, and my teens are so obsessed with this rat that speaks common that they paid for him to go to college, and about once a week one of them comes in to the library to show me a cute picture of a rat that reminded them of him.
God this story is so blessed thank you
Mystery Island guide I found on Reddit that I thought would be helpful to share here aswell
This may sound like a conspiracy, but I’m pretty sure both Netflix & Dreamworks are letting Kipo die on purpose because everyone involved in the show’s making went rogue and made one of the lead kids gay behind their backs. A black kid who outright says the words “Because I’m gay” and who has an actual love interest storyline hook. I literally cannot understand how this show got away with that considering how held at chokehold the other children cartoons on Netflix are with their LGBT+ rep (with She-Ra getting away with it the best so far)
So yeah please go watch Kipo, legally if you can so we can get a season 2 and Benson can get his boyfriend.
- Main black gay kid with an interracial love interest
- actually EVERY main character that isn’t an animal is a person of color
- one of the main protagonists has a really well done traumatic backstory, like it is fucked up man, but they handle it and her trauma from it super well
- the coming out scene is handled so gracefully and realistically
On other notes:
- the soundtrack is fucking BOMB
- Frogs in Suits
- female animals don’t have tits and ridiculous eyelashes/lips
- lesbian snakes that play guitar
- a cat lumberjack village who’s leader is clearly based off of Paul Bunyan/John Henry right down to his fucking theme song
- its a VERY music based show, but the songs are a nice combination of Actual Music and Music Written For The Show
- the apocalypse happened in 2020 lmao rip
- the animation is *chefs kiss*
- the main voice actor also plays Glimmer in She-Ra
- Found Family trope
- Found Family being introduced and included into birth family lovingly and with fierce determination
- Pure of heart + dumb of ass + Tired of Yo Shit trio
- jam packed with astronomy and astrology
- literally can’t stress enough how good the fucking music is
Anyway sorry to derail this post but PLEASE watch this show. I’ve hardly seen anything about it and this is right up all of yalls lane. Do you like Voltron? She-Ra? Gravity Falls? Steven Universe? Miyazaki films? Dragon Prince? Into the Spiderverse? Then I can literally guarantee you will love this show bc its like all the best parts of those shows and movies combined.
Don’t let another good show with actual representation die bc a company didn’t promote it
the thing all sherlock holmes adaptations get wrong is making the guy an irredeemable asshole who treats everyone like shit . not only is it not reflective of the original stories they miss that “nice, smart, well mannered dude who snorts coke when he needs to think” is possibly the funniest character ever devised
I feel like the modern equivalent is that guy you think is super well put together until you find out exactly how much red bull he ingests on a regular basis.
Modern Sherlock is that very nice English Professor-seeming guy who you bring a problem and while walking from the door of his office to his desk he starts explaining the entire solution you need
And upon reaching his desk he’s like “Excuse me one moment.” and pulls out one of those huge Monster canisters they legally aren’t allowed to make anymore, cracks the whole thing, chugs it, takes a deep breath, and then nods at you and is like “Alright, and then what you need to do is…”
Imagine how much better the dynamic of bbc sherlock could have been if they did this.
why even modernize it to energy drinks??? coke didn’t go anywhere. we still have coke. energy drinks aren’t NEARLY chaotic enough.
Its is more like you hiring some guy to do private investigation about how your husband maybe cheating on you and Sherlock comes to your house high as fuck. Walks into your living room and without taking a moment to even talk to you or sign any paperwork, he turns around—pupils as big as god—and just says
“Its your best friend Brenda. I’ll email you the invoice.”
and walks right out of your house.
Because when it was written cocaine was legal and even considered healthy and useful by some laypeople, even though doctors knew it wasn’t, and Watson was always trying to stop people from encouraging Sherlock’s addiction because HE KNEW BETTER.
So consider this, Holmes, at 2am, desperately searching the flat for the stashes of NOS cans, only to keep coming up with passive aggressive pamphlets about the dangers of caffeine overdose.
Watson wakes up to a stench like Satan’s ass to find Sherlock sitting by his bed with a re-heated pot of cold brewed Deathwish Coffee that had been hidden in the back of the toilet tank (brewing) for five months. Sherlock is trying to say he’s proud of John’s cleverness in finding most of the stashes, but he’s passed into the fifth dimension and all John gets is a creepy vibrating grin and a sound like a shaken cat.
TLDR, Sherlock did die when he fell off the Falls, but he was so coked up his body didn’t stop moving until like a decade later.
Sherlock as one of those cryptid types the baristas talk about (there’s a post floating around somewhere) who comes in and orders a venti with as many shots as they are legally allowed to add, plus a few more for good measure (and a hefty tip) and then adds energy drink on top of it before chugging the whole thing, to the absolute horror of the cafe staff.
This is the kind of Sherlock Holmes discourse I demand on my dash. Bring me more!
The fucking moment I learned about objection.lol I had to make this iconic discord chat into a court argument
