In making toum, we don’t measure garlic by cloves—we measure by cups.

Now I really want to hear a Tool & Lizzo collab.

Or maybe his wife disappeared mysteriously?

Do...do you read John Cleese’s Twitter account? Michael Palin is the cool one.

That’s how I read it too. I’m not mad about him being force sensitive—I feel like it was sort of foreshadowed when he was able to use Rey’s light saber in TFA—and I feel like Poe’s unhappy niggling about it later further reinforces this interpretation. But if that is what he wants to tell her, I’m struggling to figure…

Which makes his animation bits even more impressive!

I mean, yes, she’s darker but 1) I’d expect a professional make-up artist to adjust pigment saturation and hue to best complement a skin tone while keeping the spirit of the look and 2) the make-up artist didn’t even try to do her lips, eyeliner, or eyebrows like in the picture. The sales person (clearly) wasn’t up to…

THIS! The very least they could do would be to keep a limited supply of rarely-bought shades for makeovers that could be mixed to meet client needs. I mean, they tout having actual make-up artists, so I’d think this would be a no-brainer. And Ulta isn’t some mom and pop shop, they’re a billion-dollar company, so you’d…

I dunno, I’ve known plenty of working class white guys who act like they’re King Shit of Turd Mountain.

I can’t help feeling fuckers like this kid who seek to run from all harm they’ve caused others without real consequence and understanding of the impact of their actions and choices should be in the very back of the line of who gets freed/placed in treatment.

I can’t tell you how often I’ve regretted choosing a gendered handle on Kinja. Seriously. (I also wish I had thought of a more clever one,  but this was right after the great purge/hack back in the day and they wouldn’t let me create a new account with my older, better one.)

The only good bagels I’ve had outside of NYC (I’ve not been on Montreal) was a tiny independent bagel joint in a tiny college town in waaaaay Northern California (Los Bagels in Arcata).

Feel like the #MuseumsAreNotNeutral campaign started by La Tanya Autry and Mike Murawski deserves a shout-out here. If you’re on Twitter and interested in this stuff, they’re good folks to follow. As for re-imagining the relationship museums as an institution and a organization can have with their communities, Nina…

This is definitely the Bad Place.

Block lists are your friends on Twitter. I still get a lot of very good, nuanced info—particularly in academic fields where folks linking to their conference or pre-publish versions of papers that later go in the periodicals charging you $50–$80 per frickin’ article—but only because I curate the fuck out of my…

LeVar Burton is a national fucking treasure. He deserves both a Kennedy Center Honor (now) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (post-Trump, dreaming, hoping) for his work.

I think it depends 1) how often you fly 2) how well you fit into a standard airline seat and 3) flight duration. Back when I was a road warrior and flying every week, I would absolutely take the business or first class ticket at least some of the time because quality of life also has a value.

Ha. I’m also going to skip the 7 of 9/Chakotay eps because that plotline never made sense to me.

I started a rewatch of Voyager a few months back (something I should probably go back to), and it’s sad because there’s a lot of good stuff in there.
