she did her own tats? daaaaaang that’s cool.

also, i really like her style.

i thought the problem would be if they called it parmigiano reggiano, but calling it parmesan was okay

TIL the vatican approves of squirrel stew on fridays.

Reading Anne Leckie’s latest book, Translation State. If you’re a fan of scifi, and especially space operas, I’d recommend her books, but start off with Ancillary Justice.

ah, i hadn’t thought of that. stay safe.

what if we kissed next to the nazi we just curb stomped? 👉 👈

i didn’t tell anyone when i got my benefits from the VA. i just collect my disability grant from them every month and keep my mouth shut about it. honestly, the military fucked us up, the least they can do is pay us out for the various types of fucked up we are.

it’s pretty easy to apply to the va, just an online form, some supporting documentation, an appointment with their doctor (mine was over the phone), and about a 9 month wait is all it took for me.

I play sudoku and chess puzzles.

Concerning veteran license plates, most of us don’t have those. Even disabled vets. Also disabilities come in several different flavors, and don’t always present as people expect them to.

literally the only option for many.

well, you know what they say: if at first you don’t succeed, try two more times so your failure is statistically significant.

my pleasure , bone apple tea ;)

I have no idea what i’m doing, I just started looping some steel wire to other loops, it’s pretty wonky because i don’t know the correct technique, but i think i’m figuring it out. or maybe not :)

ooooh yeah, it’s pretty tedious. But man, I think it’s worth it. I haven’t had the time or energy to make it in a long while, but hopefully i can make it one day soon.

another, easier, dish i could suggest is peri peri chicken. typically i would make the sauce and marinade a whole butterflied chicken in it for about 24 hours (I also add buttermilk to the marinade because it’s killer), then bake or throw it on the grill to cook it. I used to do that on sundays back before my depression got really bad.

Might I suggest something called pempek? It’s an Indonesian fish dumpling served with a sweet vinegar sauce. It’s super good, but takes some time to make.

Currently I’m enjoying a new coffee from my local roaster and listening to lord of the rings audiobook. I’m also dabbling in making a chain mail glove, because I think it’s neat. I think I’ll continue those things this week.

Oooh,I thought you meant NATO was ruling the world for centuries, my bad

nato was formed in the wake of ww2, less than one century ago, so…

There aren’t many people I know who can’t afford it, in mine

I’m in Europe and I feel the same way as op.
