As many of you know: I am graduating college with my BFA in Creative Writing from Columbia College Chicago on 5/13! I’m SO PROUD of myself, I’ve worked really dang hard over the last 3 years. I’ll be graduating on the Dean’s List which genuinely isn’t something I would’ve thought attainable the last time I went to school.
In addition to that, what fewer of you know: Pete and I are moving back to the city! Our lease begins 5/1, it’s a lovely little place in Old Town! I’m so excited to get back to hosting dinners and movie nights and just generally being back in Chicago!!
Because we moved so quickly during Quarantine, and because we’ve been living with my parents, we got rid of a lot of our essentials! Moving is expensive, school+commuting has been expensive, and just generally we could use some help setting back up once we get out there! I threw together a target registry, if you wanna say CONGRATS GUYS and get me a present that’ll make the new place even a little more cozy I would super appreciate that!
I’m looking forward to hosting any and all of you once we’re settled!!
Put all liquids other than egg whites into shaker with thyme and ice and just kinda jostle ‘em around for a second. Add the egg, cap and shake for a minute and a half. Strain into a highball glass/whatever you have/a normal goddamn glass with more ice. Top off with seltzer. Drink or offer it.
This is just a fancy gin fizz. Great for Bealtaine!
I’d best be seeing that anti JKR energy for this twilight show too bc Smeyer continuing to profit off the Quileute tribe is not cute
I keep seeing people on Twitter being all “I’m sure they’ll be more respectful and mindful of the Quileute tribe this time around.”
Except, they won’t be. Even if they get actual Native American actors to play these characters, even if they bring on a Native American to serve as a cultural advisor, it wont matter. Why? Because Smeyer appropriated a real Native American tribe and twisted their culture and history in her fantasy books for her own profit.
This fictional Quileute Tribe is and always will be disrespectful to the real life Quileute tribe.
The Quileute Tribe is still taking donations to move out of the immediate tsunami zone as of April 2023. Instead of directing attention to this TV series if/when comes out (and even if it doesn’t honestly), please consider supporting the tribe financially here if you can afford it.
That is the saddest and funniest shit I have ever seen
The cat is right-pawed and I’m laughing too hard about this.
this is actually really interesting because despite not actually having that limb the cat is still able to communicate exactly what it’s trying to (which seems to be “don’t touch this cup” or “this is my box”). the other cats respond to its gesturing because they recognize what it’s saying (you can see them pull their heads back or bat their own paws in response). most of the time when cats tell each other to stop doing something they aren’t actually using any real force–it’s just a gentle bop. the hitting isn’t really the point!
i actually do a version of this with my own cats all the time. i never hit them but i’ll wave a hand at them to say “no stop it” and they understand fully despite the fact that i never make physical contact with them.
this cat may be disabled but it is perfectly capable of telling its friends and family to step the fuck off
