spoiler alert: your garlic is actually hydra tech

Green yes. Blue? That’s a new one on me. What are you eating that the garlic turned blue????

Now that it's settled, it definitely looks more green than blue, but for a while there it almost looked turquoise and I wondered if it was because I was using old garlic. It was not something I've ever seen before, though, and it was both disconcerting and really fucking awesome.

It can do, particularly if you are pickling it.

Well I was cooking something with a crap ton of vinegar so I guess that'd do it!

OMG YOU CAN MAKE IT IN A SLOW COOKER? my family will legit go crazy :)

As one public servant to another, you have my understanding and my sympathy.

Oof, what field are you? I love my job, I really do, but there are days where I think people really misunderstand what a librarian is for. Can I point you to job search resources that will show you how to strengthen your application/resume? Absolutely! Can I help you find the website/link to actual job application? Sure!

But will I stand there and tell you how to word things/click through all the links for you? No. Absolutely not.

Erk. I do not like days like that. I'm sorry hon!

fuck student loans... I am right there with you... I also went to a private University and now kinda wish I'd done two years at a CC

Now that I really understand what I got myself into, I wish the same thing. Or that I'd gone to a state school, which would have been significantly cheaper. Like, I know my private university probably helped a lot in both getting me into grad school and getting me a job, but the debt is fucking scary.

More responses under the cut

Took me a second to remember that pants means trousers. Although no knickers is also a valid resolution

Now let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I've actually read the series! A friend rec'd it and it took me forever to try it because the covers were a major turnoff for me. Yeah. I'm that person... Anyway, yes, love the series. Mercy's book is my favorite. :D

Also, if you like the Psy-Changeling series, have you tried Kate Daniels? Maybe I'm rec'ing old hat, but it's a great series with amazing world building and characters. It's my go to rec, honestly, when ppl ask.

The covers are so awful, and as much as I love the books, I am never buying a physical copy of them because I don't want to see that on my shelves. Shallow, but whatever. I like Mercy's a lot, but I'm a sucker for Judd's. It's one of my favorites, although there's something I love about each of them. I'm also a huge fan of the novellas. Whenever I need a small pick-me-up, those are on my shortlist of things to read.

wow, no. she should not have that access anymore if she’s gonna do that shit.

:( The moneyy is SOOO not right. She doesn’t know what bills you have & when they are due. Sorry about all the annoying people you had to deal with on top of that.

depending on how cold it is, they might have to turn on your heat because of the plumbing. Bursting pipes are a bad thing.

thats when you can tell them that they crossed the line i think. quite frankly i am so used to the racism that i dont even blink anymore. i mean yes i am indian and yes i am premed but i actually want to do medicine bc doctors helped me.

I did say something, and I tried to not be defensive, and she backpedaled like crazy. It usually takes a bit for me to react strongly to racism because hey, I'm sure like you, I face all sorts of microaggressions and harmless all the time. And like, that's--well, it's not fine, but I'm used to it. But there are some things that are a sore subject for me, and the implication that I'm somehow less American because I'm not white is a sore subject for me because it's something people have ~joked about for years and it makes me so angry.
