With the knowledge that Vulcan has regularly high winds & subsequent sandstorms I propose a type of guy: midwestern dads watching tornadoes but for Vulcans. Somebody's uncle Sovar standing outside with his hands on his hips watching a massive cloud roll closer. Unconcerned because this happens, like, every couple of weeks. He's like "this one is large, is it not" yes it is go back inside Sovar

My parents love to watch cooking shows, particularly America's Test Kitchen and the YouTube show Food Wishes. My mother finds the voice of Chef John, host of Food Wishes, extremely soothing, which is funny because he has a wildly unusual vocal cadence. If you've never seen a Food Wishes video, look one up and brace yourself.

Yesterday they stumbled over ATK's Detroit Pizza segment, and then looked up Chef John's video about it, and Mum texted me to ask if I ever made Detroit pizza. It's pretty much the only kind I make, so she asked if I'd make it with them when I visit home in a few days. She even spent this morning shopping for the right kind of pan. She's thrilled that I make my own pizza sauce, so now she's making a grocery list for what she needs to buy before I arrive. I also pointed out that there's a Jet's Pizza on the way from the Austin airport to their place, so the plan is to pick me up, stop at Jet's to get a "benchmark", then go home, where we will sample Jet's while I make the dough (which needs to rise slow and cold overnight) and the sauce, and the next day we will make our own.

I am bringing home, in my checked luggage, a bag of King Arthur pizza flour and a bottle of my preferred pizza sauce seasoning (Mie Radici brand).

It's both funny and sweet that a love of Detroit pizza appears to be genetic, even for a family that has zero historical connection to Detroit.

having anti punitive justice morals sucks because you want to say "man that guy sucks he should get hit with hammers until he dies" but you also want to make it clear you don't think anyone should be put in charge of the 'hit people with hammers until they die" machine.

I can’t stop thinking about crocodiles for some reason so here’s some cool pictures I found of probably the second largest one in captivity, his name is Utan:

isn’t he beautiful

listen to the SOUND when he bites

and that’s not even a real power bite, that’s mostly just heavy bone falling on heavy bone from his jaws and the air rushing out from between them

The Democratic party will not even bother to save themselves. They will not save you, listen to those who actually want to who were deemed “radical/ fae left.” This country is far right as that targeted assassinations are not treated as a dire warning sign by the “Opposition party.”

Your yearly reminder that polyamorous people are queer in every sense that matters.

Unsupported by government, unable to marry the people we love. Risking consequences if we come out within our family, if we come out at our work, in custody arguments against a non-polyamorous person because we are considered a danger or bad influence on children. A challenge to heteronormative conceptions of what love and relationships are meant to be.

Most polyamorous people are queer to start with, because once you start questioning heteronormativity, you start asking other questions about what a sexual or romantic or committed relationship should be. But that doesn't mean that polyamory isn't inherently queer in and of itself.

Please don't forget us in your queer positivity posts. Please don't forget us when you think about what queerness encompasses.

I've seen countless people, many who are fellow queers, talk shit about poly relationships because "they never last", as if most relationships last? As if most people don't have several exes? Meanwhile I'm sitting here in my stable triad polycule that.... in a couple years I will have been in this polycule for as long as I was outside of it (you know, when I was a child). It's an open polycule too, we've all had relationships outside of the triad and we're all still good and happy with each other. My triad has outlasted my heterosexual parents' marriage by many many years.

Stop being weird about poly people. We're exactly as queer as the rest of queer people, and we need you to recognize that.

Trump appears to have made the military decision without consulting Congress, which (under Article I of the Constitution) has warmaking powers.

i feel like i'm in some kind of fever dream. seeing the exact same propaganda being dredged up from the invasion of Iraq to manufacture consent for war with Iran; the same lies (Iraq has WMDs, Iran has nuclear weapons), the same islamophobia (this is a war of civilisations between the West and scary brown Muslims), and all of it being done to shield America's vassal state, Israel, from experiencing what are frankly, mild, but reasonable consequences for its own actions. nauseating.

earlier my friend said to me “somewhere out there, in an alternate universe, there’s an all female rock band called ‘king’” and I’m STILL recovering from that mental image and how gay it made me feel
