We call this "sweet potato chickpea thing" which differentiates it from "chickpea thing" and "sweet potato thing."

@arrantpedantry.com I curated this from Tumblr for you.
Screenshot from Tumblr: eldritchqueerture the existence of "maybe", "perhaps", "perchance", and "mayhaps" suggests there should also be "maychance" and "perbe" eldritchqueerture (Quoting a tag) #investing at 523 notes CAN WE MAYCHANCE NOT clottedcreamfudge Perbe you should have thought about the consequences before posting a linguistic banger

Seasonally appropriate joke for you!
Tumblr screenshot from vimbry-moved saying "got chased by a skeleton but when they caught me they just gave me a kiss and a hug. turns out it was an xoskeleton." Followed by image clips of two people in the tags saying "booooo" and the addition "this one's a big hit with the ghosts"

Go to your chat settings and change who can DM you. That is what people are talking about when they say having it means you don't know how Bluesky works. Spammers aren't going to respect "no DMs," they don't read your bio. Just make it so they can't DM you.
Screenshot of the chat settings on Bluesky. Get there by going to your DMs and then hitting the gear in the upper right. Change the Allow new messages from setting to Users I follow or No one to stop getting spam DMs.

I am an extremely successful shark.
The Jaws board game with one damaged ship tile still in the water, the rest of the boat destroyed, the three human tokens dead in the water and the shark victorious.

Dissolving Boundaries at #NBTO25.

We spent ~4 hours at Nuit Blanche tonight, had a lovely time. My favorite was probably Dead Ringer, not pictured, which explored Toronto's place in film as other places. #NBTO25
Tower of Babel by Shellie Zhang, a video installation scrolling the words to "Yesterday Once More" by the Carpenters in 20 languages. the sound of lions in Chinatown (east gate) by Annie Wong and Hannia Cheng. Two layers of fabric cut with slits so people can pass through hang from a scaffold across a city street at night. The closer layer is printed with a streetscape of presumably the same street decades ago. For the Youth by Alexis Nanibush-Pamajewong. A crowd walks towards a glowing art installation in a building courtyard. Dissolving Boundaries by OOOPStudio. A video projection on silos on the edge of lake Ontario, with the lake in the foreground and a full moon above. The projection is a dancer in a rippling outfit that mirrors the waves.

We took share bikes to Water/Fall at the Harbourfront this morning, stopped at Union Station for the jingle dancing, then swung by Word on the Street book & mag festival and stopped at Oro small plates & cocktails for small plates & cocktails on the way back. New books not pictured. Hell of a day.
Copper Leaves art installation at Toronto's Ontario square. It's a field of large maple leaves made of copper hung from an overhead net to catch the light. A crowd surrounding 3 indigenous women in jingle dresses, covered in small chimes, dancing. There is the edge of a drum circle visible on the left. The kung pao cauliflower small plate at Oro in Toronto. It is breaded and fried cauliflower florets in kung pao sauce with seseme seeds and some kind of chiffonade herb on top. It's molded into a large disc.

If you get a chance to spend a ~week on the Spanish coast eating little fish and drinking vermouth, I highly recommend you take it.
A plate of tiny grilled sardines with large male hands squeezing a lemon over them. The perspective is a bit skewed, but the fish are roughly the size of the fingers. A tomato salad with strips of cured anchovies on top, drizzled with olive oil and big salt crystals. A salad of quartered lettuce hearts arranged around a plate with roasted red peppers, garlic, and a strip of cured tuna in the center. A plate of whole anchovies, lightly breaded and fried, on newsprint with a wedge of lemon.

Danger of eating outside in Spain, and I'm sure other warm places, the trees have flowers and sometimes they fall on your head and let me tell you that is startling.
Looking up between two patio umbrellas at a tree against the sky at dusk and the side of a building with small balconies sticking out. Looking down at a sidewalk of small terrazzo tiles scattered with purple flowers that just bounced off my head.

Oh shit this is not what I was expecting when we ordered lobster rice
A large Dutch oven filled with a tomatoey looking broth maybe? A plate with a lobster tail and chunks of lobster, rice, and tomatoey looking broth.

When they bring out a whole nother table for accoutrements before your main course.
A side table with two shallow bowls with a ladle in them, a plate with shellfish crackers, forks, and wet wipes, and a woven palm trivet.

Did I order a watermelon coffee soda? Of course I did. @ misc in Toronto.
A coffee bar menu at misc on Ossington, Toronto, showing drinks including watermelon+ CO2 + citrus+ coldbrew. A glass with clear liquid on the bottom & coffee on top, with a stir stick balanced on top and a croissant in the background.

Fun to recognize the artist from a fair pic because I have one of her paintings on my wall.
A painting by lili lennox, a dreamy landscape in pinks and purples against an aqua sky.

I dunno how everyone else decides how to arrange their gallery wall but there is a right way.
A piece of graph paper colored teal with colored pencil with six small graph paper cutouts sitting on it with colored pencil representations of art pieces, so they can be easily rearranged.
