Well... that didn't come out quite right

truly few things instantly put me in a bad mood more than humidity

WHY is the fucking AIR out here TOUCHING ME

get OFF

[cedarwool]

being an everything crafter is great but also sucks. like i want to get my watercolors out but i need to put away my microcrochet first. i want to do some leatherwork but my oil paints are on the table. i want to whittle but i'm using the bucket i catch wood shavings in to hold my papermaking mush. i want to write my book but my hands are too busy knitting a sweater. i want to code another video game but i'm too busy studying nalebinding. do you see my problem. the problem is that i need more hands

Hand mixers and Sewing Machines are Two different Types of horses

[partycoffin]

These are wild animals… Untamed Stallions…

[mctreeleth]

They respond well to a confident handler, but they can smell fear and will act up if they don’t respect you. Other horses include printers and hot glue guns.

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.

No, I am not 'hoarding craft supplies.' I am sourcing materials for a very big project that will be revealed to me at a later date- perhaps in a dream.

one thing i wish ableds would remember is that, unfortunately disability doesn't magically pause for holidays, special events, or celebrations. just because it happens only once a year or you saved up for it doesn't mean that people are not disabled. the fact that a member of your group is disabled should have been included in the planning in the very first place because we can't just wing it or push through.

For those not in the know, this is one of the Amanita mushrooms referred to as a Destroying Angel. Never, ever, ever, ever forage with an app. Especially for mushrooms.

[biglawbear]

One day when AI is finally regulated, those regulations will be written in blood

We're currently in the "unregulated wild west cuz no one has died yet" era

[yeomanrand]

The Amanita mushrooms, destroying angel included, are a horrible way to die. Particularly because, like rabies, when you first show symptoms you're already dead.

But that's not what makes Amanita Ocreata and it's relatives awful.

With rabies there is no reprieve: you are sick and get sicker until you die. With these mushrooms, though, you will be sick for a while, and then suddenly you will feel like it has passed, and you are on the mend.

This is a lie. You are about to return to groaning intestinal pain, slip into a coma, and die. Because during that "reprieve" period, as Kingfisher & Wombat note, the active toxin in the mushroom is destroying your liver.

Only forage with a reliable guide, never an app, and if you're not sure don't pick and eat it!

[petermorwood]

Death Cap.

Destroying Angel.

Funeral Bell.

Deadly Dapperling.

Deadly Webcap.

Mycologists don't give names like that as a joke, and various European countries have trained Mushroom Inspectors who check foraged mushrooms for hazards.

"All fungi can be eaten; some only once."

Also, about 20 years ago so well before AI errors, @dduane brought home a cookbook which had a glossary of various herbs, and the one for "bay leaves" said "...also known as cherry laurel..."

Nope. Most definitely nope. Bay leaves come from the bay laurel, Laurus nobilis, and are flavourings Leaves from the cherry laurel, Prunus laurocerasus, are toxic.

We don't have that cookbook any more - it was sent back to the publisher with a Post-It and highlighter in the proper places - but we do have the eight other cookbooks which they sent us for warning them about the error.

(No problems in any of those, BTW, and some very good recipes.)

Somewhere I have the beautiful set of 70s Recipe Cards I found somewhere in the late 1990s with a Rhubarb card telling you that the rhubarb stalk was commonly eaten sweetened as a fruit, while “Rhubarb Leaves can be cooked like any green leafy vegetable”.

Which is true but doesn’t mention that Rhubarb Leaves are toxic. Really toxic.

I think a lot of people think of things like racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, homophobia, etc as feeling hatred for x group as x group, rather than, in the case of an individual, as a combination of actions and beliefs that work to maintain a particular system of power. And so they refuse to entertain that they or something they did or said can be, for example, transphobic, because they don't feel hatred for trans people. And so conversations get real stupid real fast.

Do you ever get like? Emotional flashbacks? Like it’s all the same feelings and emotions when the abuse was happening but you’re perfectly safe. Like you’re just reading or something and it suddenly feels like you’re unsafe again?

he was on TATOOINE you fucking loser

Obi-Wan can find an invisible planet hidden by a devious Sith Lord, Anakin can’t find his ex-best friend on his own home planet while the guy is still using his own damn name.

I know we give Obi-wan a lot of shit for leaving Luke with his real surname but Anakin really is that stupid

[notanotherreyloblog]

the perfect hiding place: the sandiest fucking planet that anakin would never set foot on again

[soloontherocks]

I’d like to remind everyone again that it’s literally canon that Vader can’t step foot on Tatooine because the desert gets into his creaky old man robot joints and makes his suit break down

aka the sand is coarse, rough, irritating, and gets everywhere

okay but what if everyone was like ‘vader, kenobi’s on tattooine. he’s obviously on tattooine. he’s been there for years. he’s just right fucking there, we all know it.’ and vader is just desperately shaking down jedi like they’re magic eight-balls and he wants a better fortune. like ‘no i don’t like that try again’. 

kenobi’s just sitting there in his pile of sand like a smug fucking bastard. he doesn’t need to hide jack shit. he went to the tattooine board of tourism and got them to print up flyers that say ‘COME TO TATTOOINE, WE HAVE SAND’ and luke is probably going to be safe until his midlife fucking crisis at this rate.

palpatine finds vader aimlessly checking behind pieces of furniture in some shitty space motel on kamino

‘he’s on tattooine,’ palpatine says. 

‘nuh uh,’ vader says, and peers under a couch.
