Sooooo, I made a dachshund out of gingerbread this year. (Because I figured, what better for a distraction from this whole year and the prospect of spending Christmas alone, than getting involved in a project?)

So I bought a papercraft pattern on etsy (this one) from SofsPaperPlanet, and built it in paper. Then I adjusted the pattern pieces so that they’d fit better for making in gingerbread (gingerbread is less bendable and foldable than paper, who knew??). Then I spent 8 hours on Saturday baking individual pieces (one or two at a time, so I’d have time to bend them while they were hot from the oven = bendable, before they got hard), and then I’ve spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday slowly putting it together! And what WAS 97 pieces turned into more like 110-115 pieces, because I dropped them and had to adjust the pattern and bake more pieces to fit it, because again - cookie is not foldable.

But it’s done! And it looks totally okay. I am pleased. It is put together with … icing? (egg white mixed with a lot of powdered sugar and a dash of milk and/or lemon juice and food colouring) so it’s 100% edible (although I’ll probably overdose on sugar if I eat it all).

Also, bonus. Because I love nonstop (Swedish equivalent of m’n’ms, but better), I wanted to cover the dog in them. I bought five or six bags and picked out only the black and brown ones. It still wasn’t enough … so this is how it ended up:

It looks okay, but not as impressive as I’d imagined. Oh well, it’ll be TASTY anyway!

(But please, someone - please remind me not to do this next year? Please? I don’t know why I keep doing this.)

let’s talk about the sarcasm switch aka /s

adding /s to the end of a statement is used in many online communities to denote sarcasm

this is useful to people who have trouble reading the tone of a statement without verbal indicators

this especially helps include neurodiverse folks in the conversation! 

this type of slang is based on HTML syntax, and there’s more:

/s  -  sarcastic

/j  -  joking

/srs  -  serious

/hj  -  half joking

and more besides! like emojis, html tone indicators provide important context & clarification to written communication. you can include a wider audience by using them, and autistic readers like me will really appreciate it /srs

if you already use tone indicators, which are your favorites?

I hate seeing all these “Hot single ladies in your area!” ads.

If they really want to appeal to me, they’d be advertising “Hot single plague doctors ready to balance your humors!”

Why are Marsupials and Musteloids so relatable?

There is no punchline I'm genuinely asking.
