Let’s be honest here, I’m just posting ramblings, but if you’re lucky, you might see pics of my cat, food, fiber art.
If you want to follow me, fine, but don’t get mad when we get lost.

C just reminded me of my whole mermaid questions I had weeks ago.
Are mermaids saltwater, or freshwater?
I remembered they're saltwater because of Splash. Madison draws a bath and gets the table salt from the kitchen cabinet. Then I wondered how she knew about table salt.
Anyway . . .

What gets me is people use ai for things that already exist!!! they aren't even creating something like a new kind of being for a sci-fi movie, or whatever--they shouldn't even use it then, but using it to make a picture of a panda or something is just plain stupid and lazy.

I finally bought a tin of these back in 2019 I think, because I wanted to finally eat these damn cookies.
They're okay?
It's basically the same cookie, just in different shapes, and one has pearl sugar on top (or was it sanding sugar?) Anyway, last time I bought some was at World Market.

Everyone's Gram got one of these jawns packed with buttons and knicknacks but the cookies themselves are fire and don't get nearly enough love. $5 for this tin at Food 4 Less. Baller time.

I've changed this list a few times now, and now that I tink I've finalized most of the cookies, I see that I need another chocolate cookie because I changed the other cookies and I need a different texture.

Stacey was absolutely chewing. Our mistrust of institutions is not paranoia, it is history. But math does not lie, and a disturbing amount of the “deficits/falsehoods” people claim about Black people are not truths, they’re narratives put forth by agents of white supremacy.
