I’ve gotten to where I can fake my way through some stuff and make some good food when I really try. Still can’t make corn bread or biscuits like my grandmother does. She throws shit in a bowl, mixes it, bakes it, and voila. Me? I follow a recipe and my poor bread and biscuits come out looking pathetic.

Ah ok. I never learned the ‘proper’ ways to cook most foods. My grandmother’s way of teaching me was ‘watch this’. And she’s been cooking for 60-70 years, so all her stuff is instinct at this point. This infograph is above my head, honestly.

Don’t forget cheese sauces. Or do those count as basic sauces?

I have 9 and they’re all cool sharing space.

I’ve had the flu once or twice in my life...that does suck. I’ve also fell on my ass with some random ass strain of pneumonia a couple of times.

The inside cats either come when called, or just stand there and wait to be grabbed, for the most part. The outsides typically come when called or when a bowl of food is shaking. I do need to work on it and do what you do to make it easier. They also love their cages and frequently sleep in them, so that helps.

I just posted about this. I have over a dozen critters to worry about.

One thing I really need is a way to evacuate a dozen animals. Over a dozen. 12 cats and 2 dogs. 3 cats are outside cats so I may not be able to get them in time which is deprdepressing.

Jealous baby, lol.

I love the death glare that tabby is giving you and Angus. Reminds me of my Cimmerron. She is the death glare queen.

Bullshit. I know that face...I used to have a cat that looked just like that. My Cinnamon. He was awesome. He died when I was about 13? Old ass cat.

Most white people have finer hair and locs might be combed out. My white friend in high school wanted locs and when she finally realized it wasn’t working, it took a couple of days of serious combing and some cutting to get rid of them. I’ve heard stories of other white folks combing out their ‘locs’ and it all…

I don’t actively scrub down my legs with soap. My skin is already finicky, I refuse to upset it more with soap.

Hey I mow in flip flops too! My flimsy sneakers aren’t going to save my toes and feet if I somehow manage to run the mower over myself.

I don’t blame you.

Tabbies come in all kinds of colors, too. Orange, brown, grey. etc. Then there’s tabicos and torbies. Tabby/calico tabby/tortoiseshell respectively.

Fuck North Carolina...I live here and I hate it. I’m a native too, this isn’t voluntary, me living here.

Shit no, if they learn how to read like real people, how the hell else could we keep them in their place? /extreme sarcasm

I find it sad at how long it’s taken people (white people) to go ‘oh shit, this is bad, maybe someone should stop it?’

I’ve lost hope too. At least we still have not super hard to obtain abortions and a young demographic that’s realizing how fucked we are if we continue down this path. Maybe we can get some good leaders in office before this state is complete trash.
