Age: old. Gender: wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy. Video games, memes, Souyo, farming games, ancient fandoms, do not cite the deep magics to me etc. etc. Trying to be a writer, mostly just struggling
My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.
Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??
Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??
It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.
gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"
"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."
"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."

“So... We got the exploding diarrhea. Here's my advice for anyone who doesn't have it yet:
It's going to take a minute for the government to pin down where this is coming from, and then issue a recall, because the FDA has been gutted. But, I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt : this is coming from Taylor Farms produce, and you will see them recalled.
You'll want to avoid all Taylor Farms produce in the grocery store. They supply McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, about any fast food place you can think of.
Raspberries, watermelons, cilantro, and the veggies you're hearing about are not causing this many people to get sick. It's the shredded lettuce, specifically, that's the problem. But, you'll want to stay away from every type of produce this company puts out, because one strand of shredded lettuce is all it takes to contaminate bushels.
Taylor Farms is the source. Taco Bell proactively pulled their produce from their restaurants. You're going to see other fast food places doing this, and probably will see that before the government names a source. The FDA knows this, but they can't come out and tell us all until there's proof, which takes resources and research, which takes manpower, but the FDA has been cut by about 20-30%
During the Biden term, onions at McDonald's had ecoli. We knew this because DNA testing was done quickly and they were able to narrow it down to one place that caused the outbreak. And, it was traced back to Taylor Farms. This isn't going to be solved as quickly though.
When you get this, make a virtual appointment to your PCP - a "same day sick" appointment. Tell them someone in your family just tested for this and was positive and was prescribed Bactrim. If you go in person, they're probably going to make you poop in a cup and wait until results come back to prescribe.
You'll know when you get this. Trust me on all of this.
You'll want to stay hydrated because this parasite damages the lining of the small intestine. Your small intestine, in turn, secretes more water into the gut, and less nutrients and liquid are able to remain in the body. So no matter how much you shit, you're going to want to drink. A day of this leads to dehydration if you don't increase your fluid intake, and a few days will land you in the hospital.
If you have headaches, weakness, muscle cramps, dizziness, or an increase heart rate - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Go to the ER for fluids if you can't drink enough.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Brought to you by America's 250 birthday celebrations, workforce reduction in the FDA and CDC, and viewers like you.
Please feel free to share this.
And, MAGA - don't blow up the comment section. I argued with y'all on COVID bc I was afraid y'all would die, but I really don't care if you get explosive diarrhea.
Drinking soda is better than drinking nothing all day. Eating ice cream for dinner is better than eating nothing for dinner. Eating salsa is better than having no produce in your diet at all.
Water is way more hydrating than soda, but soda is more hydrating than nothing. A balanced meal is way more nutritious than ice cream, but ice cream is more nutritious than nothing.
Something is better than nothing. Some hydration is better than no hydration. Some nutrients are better than no nutrients. Some produce is better than no produce.
Don't let societally imposed food guilt trick you into believing that nothing is a better choice. Nourishing your body, however you can, is always the better choice. Fed is best. Always.
the "my favorite character did nothing wrong" mindset is completely unappealing to me because i love thinking about all the things my favorite characters did wrong

If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.
It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.
It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.
This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.

This is going to be the Reina episode, I can feel it.
Bombermon is cool as heck, what a great monster of the week Digimon! I've always had a soft spot for the floatie ghosties dating all the way back to Bakemon and Phantomon in Adventure. Very neat.
Good thing they've got plenty of time to give Reina pep talks and let her have flashbacks and all that, it's not like there's a time bomb or anything...
And it's also a good thing that in Digimon you can often just get things to happen by believing hard enough. Half sarcasm. Like don't get me wrong I adore Reina and Pristimon but it kind of feels like they just got handed Ultimate because everyone else was already there and power levels or whatever. Gekkomon and Chiropmon's Ultimate forms feel like they were earned.
I also don't really like Bearcatmon's design? I'm sure it'll grow on me. She looks like a Champion level. Hopefully her mega (if she even gets one) looks cooler.
Overall kind of a disappointing episode. Wait, did Chairman Wong just fucking die?
Episode 36:
OK right off the back we have Chairman Wong getting kidnapped by GIFT (so he didn't get exploded after all) and will be apparently forced to announce not only the existence of Digimon but the crimes that have committed against them. The plot is moving at breakneck speed again! That being said, how did they kidnap him?? Did he let himself be captured? Is that even him? There's no way he doesn't have a super powerful Digimon partner, but even if he somehow doesn't there are the remaining Five Stars...
The weird lesbians showing up out of nowhere dramatically on top of a building got a good chuckle out of me. How did nobody notice them climbing up there?
Kaito and Honoka both have slutty cutouts in the sides of their shirts. None of the other Five Stars have this. I love them, they're a match made in hell
Lilamon calls Rose "older sister", that's actually really cute omfg. Rose and her weird lesbian underlings and her little sister Digimon might actually be my favorite of the Five Stars I'm not gonna lie
A field of mostly yellow flowers, eh? How very Hurricane Touchdown of you, Beatbreak!
Mephismon is really creepy! Amazing!! Even the way the black and red clouds were animated clashed so much with the scenery that it's very intimidating!
I almost forgot that Tomoro has a fucked up e-pulse until he grabbed Miharu's hand. Can't wait to find out what that did. But first, tragic backstory! The parallels between Tomoro and Miharu are very obvious of course. Lost their parents at a young age (I don't remember if Tomoro's are dead or just in jail?), older sibling had to step in and take care of them at far too young of an age, lost their older sibling in probably a highly preventable way... though I'm pretty sure Chifuyu is dead and not just cold-hearted. Oh and black e-pulse! They can both make black e-pulse!
It's always a good sign when a Wizardmon shows up. Definitely not about to get super tragic in this flashback, no siree
Ohhhhh no that Wizardmon evolved into Mephismon didn't he
That's how Miharu is able to have a normally functioning Sapotama, that Mephismon is the evolved form of her older sister's Wizardmon and she is supplying him with e-pulse
Oh no I was right but I did NOT think that is how it happened holy cow that is brutal
That might actually be the darkest Digimon has ever been?? Wow. They only implied what happened but damn
Uhh,
Episode 37
I have never been more glad that I wait to watch these in groups of 3-4 episodes at a time because WOW
Anyway
One thing I've never understood is why Tomoro and Gekkomon became so intensely fixated on Miharu so quickly. Like after seeing those flashbacks it would make sense for them to be desperate to save her, but even before that they were. Oh well, teenage boys I guess?
In the end we got a better idea of how Chairman Wong feels about Digimon, a very threatening Digimon is now just a little baby under Kyo's care, Miharu got arrested, and that's it for GIFT I guess? Feels like the arc could have lasted longer but they showed remarkable restraint by ending it quickly. Back to fighting the Five Stars I guess?
Episode 38:
"The white core and Tenma Tomoro's e-pulse are necessary to the Shangri-la Project" AND WHY THIS THAT EXACTLY??????
THE PLOT THICKENS
Also Sanada's first name is GENJO? AND HE HAS GOKUUMON AS HIS DIGIMON? HELLO????
Oh interesting, so Kishiwada wasn't just a second-in-command after all, he's got some ulterior motives for sure with that white core.
OK I don't know who this guy is with the white stripe in his hair but he's hot and definitely definitely evil
The former Five Star of water, oooh
Oh he's got some beef with Kyo oh no
OH WAIT NO NOT ROSE I WAS JUST STARTING TO LIKE HER
Weelllll we didn't see her die so she's maybe not dead, just cold-hearted? Poor Lilamon though
Oh no whose graves are those Kyo, WHOSE GRAVES ARE THOSE
OH NO THE CLIFFHANGER
I might have to start watching weekly after all, what the HECK WAS THAT CLIFFHANGER
all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.
This watermelon gazpacho recipe is the perfect balance of savory and sweet, it’s full of feel-good fresh ingredients, and always…
It's been seventillion degrees out for the past month, so I finally decided to try out some cold dinner recipes I've found around the internet. The first one was watermelon gazpacho.
I'll admit I was very dubious about combining watermelon with a bunch of savory veggies and red wine vinegar but this is actually so good! I'm shocked! This is going to be a staple summer dinner around here from now on, I can tell. It gives me an excellent excuse to buy a watermelon, something to actually use the watermelon for (I do routinely just eat entire watermelons by myself fyi), and another thing to use my immersion blender for. I may have also bought a mint plant solely because this calls for fresh mint and the plant wasn't much more expensive to buy than fresh mint was anyway, so now I have another plant child.
Maybe some day I'll try the original gazpacho, we'll see. I've got a cold cucumber soup on the docket for later in the week, and next week I might try out Vichyssoise (cold leek and potato soup) or an iced Borscht (Russian beet soup).
Oh and since I already had the watermelon and the immersion blender out of course I made some watermelon sorbet. Sorbet quest rides again!

Cannot enthuse enough about looking at the flyers on corkboards. As soon as you start noticing them, a whole world of unique events opens itself up to you. There are always people offering guitar and piano lessons, but I’ve also seen flyers for queer game nights, town hall protests, hiking clubs, live music festivals, student film showcases, indie film screenings, stone carving sculpture classes, Pride events, jazz in the park, genderswapped Star Trek stage plays, bike-a-thons, cyberpunk drag shows, an online asexuality archive… tons of the events being promoted are even free and they’re things I never would have known about if not for a flyer in a café or ice cream shop or park kiosk
