A question about cooking Korean food: I made gimbap today for the first time, and it all went well until I went to cut the rolls into slices, when they squished and tried to come unrolled. What did I do wrong?

So much this! Sometimes it feels hard to be creative and joyful in the world that we're living in right now, but I believe that it's so important!
Keep making art, my friends. Write, draw, paint, sing, play. And keep enjoying the art of others. Indulge in things that bring you joy. It's how you survive and it's what makes fighting so important. Fight as much as you can, but don't forsake joy.

I just finished making my first K-pop doll! I present Weki Meki Sei, from their "La La La" era, with a mouse for scale!

I just finished reading Leaving Mundania by @lizziestark.bsky.social and loved it! I played in a LARP at a con once and enjoyed it somewhat, but after reading about all the advances in "LARP technology" since then, I'm curious to give it another try.

Faux morality is used by the oligarchy to keep the masses compliant, and it of course never applies to them. As long as they commit their violence through paperwork & the police state, it doesn’t “count” #EatTheRich #Acab

And never forget that the ONLY time the NRA ever voted against gun ownership rights, was specifically concerning the Black Panthers. Because white supremacy.

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate, and happy Thursday to those who don't!

Me (going down to the basement to check the mousetraps): What are you going to do if there's a mouse just running around?

Me: Umm... Yell.

Me (hassling myself): Yell what?

Me: Umm... "Get your ass in that trap"?

I don't imagine this will actually work, but I feel better now that I have a plan.

Instead of “teaching” me how to engage constructively with people I disagree with (or flat out dislike) and pushing me to consume media I don’t enjoy, howabout a whole lot of people learn to take “no” for a fucking answer.

End of thread.

Random fun fact: My art history master's thesis contains almost an entire page on the history of mousetraps.
