Slow starts.

I have been procrastinating on everything this spring so far, including very important things like picking dandelions to make honey. I ran into the owner of the pasture next to mine in town the other day and he said he was going to bring out his cows soon, and asked if everything was OK with the water trough, and I was like ... 😨 the dandelions!!!

I had to get there before the cows. It might sound heartless of me, especially with regard to that one cow named Pissenlit who, as her name suggests, loves eating dandelions, but I have responsibilities. I mean, giving my mums and friends dandelion honey used to be a surprising gift that drew admiring comments, but now it's my job. Now it's "I'm thinking of visiting in mid-April, will the dandelions be out? so I can pick up My Jar, the one I Expect To Receive." I enjoy giving people homemade stuff to be clear, I'm just trying to explain why I couldn't make room in my heart for Pissenlit as I raided the neighbour's pasture the day before she & the other cows arrived.

Also I was listening to a good audiobook while harvesting and it made picking 1000+ dandelions feel quicker than usual—I gathered enough for 15 jars 😊

I added oranges this year rather than grapefruits, and used a bit more sugar, because I'd received some feedback that last year's vintage tasted too bitter. I hadn't realised "too bitter" was a thing, I personally find solace in arugula and adore quinine and chocolate that tastes medicinal. So after straining the dandelion mixture I separated it into two saucepans, a large one and a small one, and I made Cheerful Jelly for people who don't like the taste of their own regrets and a couple of jars of Bitter Jelly for me personally. It goes great with bedtime herbal tea! A couple of spoons added to your mug make your chamomile tea feel somewhat disappointed in you. It's the flavour of late-night introspection.

He didn't say he wanted them all to survive

And this is supposed to be the "pro-family" agenda?

Now I'm not saying that JD Vance killed the Pope, per se. I just think his actions raise some questions, like for example: Did JD Vance kill the Pope?

distinguishing magic from sufficiently advanced technology is quite easy so long as you know what to look out for

one way is to pay attention to what you're saying

if you're calling the elements to heed your will or binding demons to your beck and call or reordering reality in the names of dead gods it's magic

if you're muttering "why the fuck won't this fucking thing fucking work it worked yesterday why does every fucking update change all the fucking menus do they have to keep fucking adding fucking adverts to fucking every fucking thing no i don't want to use your godforsaken chatbot" it's technology
