Trying this (made tonight for tomorrow).

I could not get it to incorporate. I doubt using almond butter instead of peanut butter was the issue.

I added another T of maple syrup, some extra vanilla, and a few extra dollops of yogurt. It is now a dough, but super sticky.

I also only had flavorless protein powder (which is another reason I added more vanilla and maple syrup).

We'll see how it tastes tomorrow!

Counting this as a success.

The dough is utterly delicious. The extra maple syrup and vanilla were necessary adds, I think. Keeping it overnight is good, too. It is still sticky, but less so today.

The dough is very soft. The consistency is not really like cookie dough at all. It kinda fills your mouth.

There is a slight yogurt flavor, but it is very mild. I don't taste any almond butter in it at all.

...if you want a metaphor for consistent, regular, scheduled, I would not choose weather.

...I am going to go through my draft and excise every use of the word "something" that I cannot justify keeping.

Then I'll probably take a good, hard look at my similes.

adding "the way" to the excise list.

Though, a quick ctrl+F has revealed that I've only used it once in the sense I am now wary of: He's an older man, lean in the way that suggests hunger rather than athleticism.

I think I can have one use in over 160k.

This fic has over 20 in less than 40k (I stopped counting).

Look. People can have whatever writing voice they want. It's fine. But, when certain patterns repeat at least once per page (and sometimes more frequently) they stop being style and start being tics.

(The more frequently refers to a different fic and how it used similes in the exact same manner almost every single paragraph. Once I noticed, I couldn't notice anything else).

...I am going to go through my draft and excise every use of the word "something" that I cannot justify keeping.

Then I'll probably take a good, hard look at my similes.

Part of me wants to start putting together a list of phrases from fics that hit me wrong. A story will be perfectly good, but then a single phrase will stand out. Or everyone will talk in the same semi-portentous way. And I want a list if only to point to it and be like "see? I'm not imagining this."

And it bugs me because it is uneven or flat or just glossy.

#backstory on glossy #i've learned repeated from hs through career that people just work by its cover #make it look good and like it took time/effort #and people will assume quality #the dialogue is bugging me the most these days #people don't all sound the same #they may not sound super different but they don't all sound like oracles and fortune cookies

as much as everyone loves "the power of love won't save us, we need the power of incredible violence" i'm sorry to rain on your parade but we've actually tried that about ten million times as a species, and you'll be shocked to hear the power of incredible violence, without the power of love behind it, is just brutality. the power of incredible violence has been ruling (various parts of, and then the entire) world for the past 5,000 years. ours is not that damn special.

like yes use that gun you found but WHY are you using it? on who are you using it? what would make you stop using it? is your goal to live in a world where every problem is solved by violence, or is your goal to do the violence necessary to live in a world where that necessity is unthinkable?

Animation time works differently. Fifteen seconds for them is five hours for me. Kinda makes you wonder. Five hours for me must be like five days for my animator

In conversation with multiple posts going around discussing technical literacy and typing skills…

I HAD typing classes: my typing speed is less than 35 Words Per Minute

I did NOT have typing classes: my typing speed is less than 35 WPM

I HAD typing classes: my typing speed is 36-45 WPM

I did NOT have typing classes: my typing speed is 36-45 WPM

I HAD typing classes: my typing speed is 46-55 WPM

I did NOT have typing classes: my typing speed is 46-55 WPM

I HAD typing classes: my typing speed is 56-69 WPM

I did NOT have typing classes: my typing speed is 56-69 WPM

I HAD typing classes: my typing speed is faster than 70 WPM

I did NOT have typing classes: my typing speed is faster than 70 WPM

I'm on mobile/ vanilla extract option

Remaining time: 1 day 13 hours

➡️ Take a typing test here (and you need an actual, physical keyboard for this):

The industry-standard benchmark used by employers and typing certifications worldwide.

➡️ 'Typing classes' refers to computer skills classes you might have had in school; you can also count games or other related typing training your parents might have had you do.

➡️ Across 3 different typing test websites*, the (english language) world average typing speed is 40 WPM.

#56 #i did have classes but I didn't really learn anything in them #my typing speed improved a LOT because AIM and MUDs and forums #if you wanted to stay in the conversation #you had to type quickly #And I feel like I can be faster when I'm typing my own thoughts rather than trying to copy something and when I'm not fussing over speed #but tests are tests

There's worse to come, folks. Strap in and stay strapped.

Fascists get months and these guys get decades....just incredible how far the USA has fallen.

Activists who didn't plan the protest and left when asked still received 50-year terms.

The crackdown on anti-ICE activists in Texas reflects a pattern of intensifying repression all around the country.

Just so we're connecting our dots together, Reed O'Connor is "that Rhode Island hospital should give me all its trans kids records and I pinky swear I won't just give them to the DOJ and I am commanding all the other judges that they don't have jurisdiction, only I do, despite the fact that none of what's happening is actually in my district," among a million other shitty things.

He is a horrible fucking human being and a terrible fucking judge.

1) do this even if you're under 40. seriously. I definitely should have been doing something like this for years and I only turned 40 a month and a half ago

2) if you're like me just now trying this going "oh god i've only done 15 and i think my hands are cramping" start lower than 30 and increase by 5 once whatever number you're doing no longer makes your hand cramp up. I can manage about 15 per exercise at the moment.

If you're hypermobile, be especially gentle.
