So i went to a drag show the other day and one of the Drag Kings was especially iconic
he introduced himself as "Oliver Garden, because when you're queer you're family"
His persona was a blond elvis impersonator/church preacher? (ironic because he's jewish). With the iconic line of "in this church LGBTQ stands for 'LET GOD BLESS THESE QUEERS'"
DID NOT LIP SYNC HIS SONG HE SANG AND ROCKED THAT ELVIS VIBE HARD
anyways i had a blast and fuck yeah Let God Bless These Queers
Skip Google for Research
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

I haven't seen dancing pumpkin guy ONCE this year, are you guys okay?
FINE! I'll do it myself
That Rolling Stone article about Chappell Roan... the bits about the shit she went through are already wild, but what really gets me is when the article starts listing. every. single. singer. who reached out to her, worried, to commiserate, to give tips, to agree that the harassment of fame is indeed hell. I'm like. "So y'all agree?? All of y'all agree being famous is horrible???" Good LORD.
Fellow stars have reached out to see if she’s OK. Charli XCX was one of the first to do so (..). Eilish has been keeping tabs on Roan (...). Hayley Williams DM’d her, offering to chat with Roan anytime. Katy Perry told her to never read the comments. Lorde gave her a helpful list of things to do at an airport to fly under the radar. The band Muna hosted her for dinner. Miley Cyrus invited her to a party. Lady Gaga has passed along her phone number (...). Roan went on walks and grabbed coffees with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. Their boygenius bandmate Phoebe Bridgers came over to Roan’s just to hang, commiserating on how fandom behavior has become increasingly “abusive and violent.” Sabrina Carpenter, who’s also had a shockingly massive year, suggested they meet up and unpack their summers. “We’re both going through something so fucking hard … she just feels like everything is flying, and she’s just barely hanging on,” Roan says. “It was just good to know someone else feels that way.” Backstage at the Vic Theatre in Chicago, Roan flashes her phone to show a lengthy email from Mitski she received that morning. “I just wanted to humbly welcome you to the shittiest exclusive club in the world, the club where strangers think you belong to them and they find and harass your family members,” it reads.

The lack of agreement across brands on what “extra firm tofu” is is, in fact, very high on my list of unimportant problems.
Several years back “extra firm” still had high water content and needed to be diligently pressed and pan fried with care if you wanted to achieve crispy.
And then I guess tofu had a moment and brands got scared of losing people to trial-and-error and started manufacturing extra-firm tofu you could use to break a window and escape a house fire with.
And the more Americanized brands went that direction while the traditional brands said “no that’s fucking stupid we’re not changing anything” and SOME brands said “what if we do like the middle of that?”
Buying tofu is now in fact a vibe-check game of assessing a brand’s packaging and gauging what YOU think they mean by “extra firm”
It’s actually worse in fact because you need to play the vibe-check game twice on account of the recipe will inevitably call for some kind of “extra firm” and you need to know ITS vibes.
Asking you to grate the tofu on a cheese grater and bake it? Westernized. You want that red brick tofu. You want Whole Foods amount of extra firm or SUPER firm because if that thing has any amount of moisture left in it it’ll disintegrate like Tubby Custard on the grater.
Tofu scrambled eggs? You want the OG extra firm. You want it to hold its form but still have that softness and give unless your goal is to imitate sad dining hall scrambled eggs.
Many such difficulties in today’s tofu landscape
They should be printing the tofu's mechanical properties like it's a structural material.
Packaging should have one of these
#my trick for checking tofu firmness on the packaging is to look at the kj per 100g#more kj per 100g = less water content #if one tofu has 300kj per 100g and one tofu has 500kj per 100g then I know which one's gonna be wetter and softer (via @demiurgenesis)
Hello??
Hello!!!???
Shaking your hand shaking your hand shaking your hand???????
These are the random extra/super firm tofus in my fridge and the labels are based on my own experience with them. Completely in alignment with this trick hello????????????
Its too late to apologize. I have already paid my scribes to depict you as the hunched and decrepit wastrel, while I am illuminated in gold.
Yeah I know they also made me a hunched decreptit wastrel. My scribes fuckin hate me dog.
So listen i have this book coming out in uhhh 10 days and I am Worried about it, because it is a Comedy, and comedy is really hard to market (why????? it's funny pirates, what's not to like??) even when it is, yanno, normal mainstream comedy.
It is even worse when it is Unhinged Comedy That's Mostly Going To Be Funny To People On Tumblr. (For example, the main character being a supreme gremlin made of 90% memes by weight (examples: carries around a bag that is never called anything but his "little rucksack"; has a near-verbatim "stick me legy out real far" moment; talks about his metaphorical "orphan gruel bowl" which is a direct reference to that one Oliver Twist gif) because those are funny to me personally.) Unhinged Tumblr Comedy is difficult because tumblr is not a platform where it is easy to market things to people, because we are generally violently anti-capitalist and LOATHE advertisements and reflexively resist being marketed to for most anything. I LOVE that about this website. Except for right now, because I have bills to pay and a cat to feed. So look, fellow tumblr gremlins, I am just trying to say that if your personal brand of comedy is laughing at the kind of jokes that could only be produced on this hell website, and:
you like pirates
you're queer and want to read more books by queer authors
you want your fictional queer characters to be a hell of a lot more Messy and Unhinged than they often are depicted as being
you're interested in seeing a love triangle (M/M/NB) that resolves into polyamory
you want books where the hottest character gets to makes Passionate Speeches about rebelling against oppressive institutional regimes like governments and organized religions
you believe that capitalism is the most oppressive institutional regime of them all
you think it's fun when two characters have been in a 15-year-long relationship where the vibes have been "We're Newly Divorced" nearly since day one
you believe that All Cops Are Bastards and want to know what to do when you get pulled over by the boat cops
you think the Great British Bake-Off would be improved with weaponry, ritualized bribery/coercion of judges, and elaborate shit-talk
then this book might be for you. Beneath the wall-to-wall hijinks, it is political and it is righteously angry and it is the funniest thing I have ever written (which is saying something, because I have written some funny shit). It's called RUNNING CLOSE TO THE WIND. Here's a picture of it.
If all that sounds cool, you can read a review of it here and the first chapter of it here to see if it as funny as I am claiming it is, and then if you think that it is, you can preorder it here. It comes out on June 11! Ten days from now!
Thank you for letting me market to you for a minute. Signal boosting would be very much appreciated.
I manage to get an eARC of this book (highlight of my year) and can confirm it is absurdly funny. I was half worried my neighbors would call in a noise complaint with how hard I was laughing. Also if you are a fancy books™️ person like myself the broken bonding has a BEAUTIFUL signed edition with painted edges, foiling, the works
Good news: this book IS one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. Comedy is Hard but THIS BOOK is pure comedy. (With a side of horny and heart)
okay, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this going in, but when I got to "he'd managed to rhyme 'strap-on' with 'denouement`" I had to put my laptop down because I was laughing so hard I was worried I'd drop it
and I sent just that line to my partner, who I'd expect to be much more in the target audience for this kind of Gremlin Story than me, and said "I might have to buy this book."
My preorder is heeere and I just started it! In love already but will report back. His little rucksack!
QUEER PIRATE FANS ESPECIALLY! I devoured it in one go on release day, but I'ma read it again super soon. It is so queer and that's so unremarkable in the world (which I also loved in A Taste of Gold and Iron). And it is so horny, at a level which would be remarkable anywhere. It would be difficult to overstate what a fucked-up wet cat of a creature you will follow around in this story. You will be snerking loudly and occasionally just making explosive hooting noises. You will post excerpts in your group chats. You will exclaim "HIS LITTLE RUCKSACK!" at people and they will give you Looks. The joy of the baking competition carried me through a day of people banging on my roof loudly, and I say this even as a fan of seagulls and all other garbage creatures. Anyway, if you would like to support a queer author and also be filled with joy and whimsy, I can't recommend this to you enough. If you love it, definitely go back and read A Taste of Gold and Iron, because fucking hello?
Yeeeessssss. Anyway, I just can't see OFMD fans not loving this (I think there's a couple of nods to but I can't swear it). It also shouts out the giant of fantasy comedy, GNU Terry Pratchett. You can see that influence in all the best ways. Please read it and bother other people about reading it, request that your library buy it, review it, etc. To support the author and celebrate the representation, of course, but also so that I maybe get more. Please and thank you.
Folks, I just finished reading this last night, and it's amazing and beautiful. I laughed SO much reading it but I also cried and cheered and got angry. All of the emotions - I felt them.
(Pictured above: both me reading this book and also Avra every moment of every day)
When people are saying that this feels very Terry Pratchett in execution, take them seriously. It does. It's very much its own thing as well - far more explicitly queer and with its own style of humour that is distinct from Pratchett, but the blending of comedy, social commentary, and outright rage against injustice is VERY Pratchett in the best possible way. There comes a moment near the end of the book when a particular character goes on a full-blown raison d'etre rant where I genuinely wanted to applaud at the end.
Also, all of the character voices are so distinct and entertaining that I read so much of the dialogue out loud to myself because it felt fun to just SAY.
I love everything from Alex Rowland, particularly in the Chantiverse, but I felt like this one took a step out and just GLOWED. I will be re-reading many times just to feel it all again.
Final addition: the cake competition was one of the greatest things ever.
Go read it now.
Y'all. Y'ALL. I just finished this absolutely wondrous book today on the train and lemme just say. I was moved to tears by the aforementioned raison d'etre rant and a candid little chat with a certain catlike (haha) character. I feel like Alex has taken my soul and bared it for the world to see. AND YET they did it with such tenderness and healing and goddamn consideration for the weird personal universe of truths that makes every human's unique experience. I'll be getting a hardcover copy which will reside in pride of place on my bookshelf posthaste.

this is a poem
i couldn’t not draw this
ok…!
babe are you okay, your reblogging the subway rat poem again
It’s been a long week
if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html
how do we explain to children that all our tech briefly worked perfectly and over time we threw it all away for sleek menus and corporate opacity
"we could give you a link to this mp3 OR we could run it in a proprietary player app that must connect to the internet every time you hit the resume button"
when i upgraded from a flip phone to an iphone and realized i could no longer record and set a custom ringtone because apple wanted me to buy radio pop ringtones, i realized, oh cool new tech isnt made for us it's made to exploit us and we are going to let it happen
ouch
