I love asking friends, without context, "what are you really into this week?" I'll go first. this week I'm really into mouthwash and sudoku. Last week I was into peaches.

we used to be a society on here!! reblog, don't like! I want to hear what you're into!!! I'm literally looking into the nyt game Pips!!!

HELLO????

"found" (under status) implies to me that some well-meaning local saw this wild lizard and went "oh no, someone has lost their pet! i'd better take it to a shelter right away!"

I had the same thought! I did some digging and this fellow was confiscated. They're not looking to adopt him out, thankfully; they know what they have, so hopefully he'll land in a safe place that can look after him.

After I came out as an adult to my childhood best friend, he went back to his family and told them and then when we next spoke he said, ‘we’ve decided this is a good move for you.’

i saw someone lamenting that so many tumblr users block eachother before they ever even interact just because the blockee seems annoying. i went to their blog and i looked at their pinned post and then, dear reader, i blocked them

I, too, block freely :)

If I don’t like you, you don’t get to bother me, simple as that

because id rather not waste my time arguing and frankly if you’re a asshole how can you expect me NOT to block you

best thing about these movies being serialized with one single character as a connecting thread is that with each new production Benoit Blanc becomes by necessity an even older gay man and that's beautiful

i think the most upsetting thing about american-flavor puritanism is how fucking patronizing it is. it's 2026 but the whole world still has to deal with a cultural hegemony grown from the gnarled vestiges of victorian-era paternalism. tax-paying adults with passports and the right to vote are treated like wayward children because of the antiquated idea that authorities must protect the weak minds of the unwashed masses from depravity and corruption. the average american can send a fellow citizen to the chair, but they can't piss in a ditch without being declared an outlaw. american entertainment media is saturated with sex, but you can't talk about it online without getting your account suspended. it's such blatant censorship at a universal scale, but because sexual content is framed as inherently dangerous, this restriction on basic adult autonomy, this blanket denial of moral and intellectual adulthood, can be reframed as protection, an expression of care, a moral duty. "won't someone think of the children!" I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN!

thank god that the video game that features slow motion animations of graphic gunshot wounds and is rated 18+ has a profanity filter in single player offline mode. thank you for protecting this 33 year old mind from the corrupting influence that is a horse named apple slut

I made the goddamned mayonnaise, I made the fucking egg salad.

ooh, recipe please?

Mayonnaise:

  • Get a clean, food-safe jar. Any jar will do so long as it has a lid and you can fit your stick blender in there.
  • Crack a raw egg into the jar. Add one tablespoon of vinegar and half a teaspoon of whole grain mustard (more if you like mustard). Or a quarter teaspoon of mustard powder, if you prefer. Honestly whatever mustard you have on hand is fine. I grew mustard seeds this year so I'm absolutely drowning in whole grain mustard.
  • Add a little salt (about a quarter of a teaspoon, exactness is not important for salt) and whatever other herbs or spices you want in your mayonnaise.
  • Measure out one cup of oil. Any NEUTRAL vegetable oil will work (strongly flavoured oils are playing with fire for mayonnaise. Put the olive oil away. Grab the cheap canola.) DO NOT PUT THIS IN THE JAR YET.
  • Grab your stick mixer and blend all non-oil ingredients for a few seconds to break that egg and get everything mixed.
  • Add a small trickle of oil. just like, a tablespoon or so. Blend it in.
  • Once it's combined, add a bit more oil. You want to trickle this oil in really slowly, make sure each bit is combined before adding more.
  • This will make an eggy liquidy soup. But as you add oil, it will start to thicken. This usually happens for me at a bit over half a cup. Once it's mayonnaise-texture, you can stop adding oil (if you want a more eggy mayonnaise), or keep going until you've added the whole cup (if you want more mayonnaise). Don't add more than a cup of oil or it'll start to separate, that egg can only hold so much oil.
  • Congratulations, you've made mayonnaise. Put the lid on the jar and stick it in your fridge, or if you prefer, immediately use it to make egg salad.
  • Begin the task of cleaning mayonnaise off your stick blender, out of the jar (if you used it all), etc., which is a task that sucks.

Note that store bought mayonnaise is up to its gooey eyeballs in emulsifiers and preservatives. Your mayonnaise is not. This recipe contains raw egg and is also just waiting to separate if you look at it wrong. You'll want to use this mayo within a few days.

Egg salad:

  • Despair over how many eggs you have that need eating. Reflect that you knew that this would happen when you got new chickens, you were prepared for it, but that doesn't change the fact that it is indeed happening.
  • Hard boil or hard steam some eggs. How many? However many you think you can eat and you have the mayonnaise for. This is not a time to be stingy with eggs, there will be more in the nesting boxes tomorrow and you need to get ahead of the curve here. Cool them completely and peel them.
  • Chop them into whatever sized pieces you want in your salad. Dump in the mayo you made earlier. Despair cleaning the mayo jar.
  • dig through your spice box for your least expired thingy of curry powder. Add however much curry powder you think you want. Add whatever other spices you like in egg salad. A bit more salt doesn't go astray here.
  • Wish you had some celery or something. Consider the nasturtium capers you pickled earlier this year and are trying to use up. Realise that they would be a very bad choice for an egg salad.
  • Go out into your garden and look for one of the random patches of little baby mustard plants that sprung up when you didn't get your entire mustard harvest in on time. Harvest some mustard microgreens. Wash, chop, add to salad.
  • Stir everything together. Congratulations, you have egg salad. Now you're on a time limit to eat it before either the mayo separates or you suddenly go back into Hating Eggs Mode.

Egg salad sandwich:

  • Realise you now need an appetising way to eat all of this egg salad.
  • Get whatever bread you have. If all your bread is frozen, you're shit out of luck. Put some in the bread box and resign yourself to having your sandwich tomorrow.
  • Spread your expensive cholesterol-lowering margarine on the bread and reflect on the irony of using this with egg salad. Very 'large big mac and a diet coke' sort of situation.
  • Peel and wash a couple of lettuce leaves from the overpriced lettuce you bought a couple of days ago. Curse the skies above for their inconsistent temperatures in your region that have meant that every attempt to grow lettuce in your garden has resulted in humiliating failure. It would be so good, wouldn't it? If you just had a couple of lettuces out there to harvest from as needed? You'd be set.
  • Put them in the sandwich. Scoop in some egg salad. However much you think you want. Acknowledge before you start that you don't want as much as you think, that your natural judgement will be to put way too much egg in there. Put way too much egg in there anyway.
  • Wish you had something colourful to scatter over the lettuce, for aesthetics. Maybe some parsley or something. Regret not having any celery. Consider the capers in the fridge again. Realise that they would be a bad idea.
  • Tell Tumblr that you made a sandwich and prepare to be asked for instructions.

See I wouldn't "skip to recipe" if recipe blogs were written like this.

I started with the recipe

I live by the motto, “if you can’t buy what you want, make it.” And this motto came to life recently in the form of a floral mosaic dining table for my back deck.

Our deck table had been showing its age already when the wind caught the umbrella and cracked it. I wanted to replace it with a mosaic table because I’d been enjoying that art form recently. But I couldn’t get one the size I wanted so I got creative.

I spent a few weeks looking for tile and figuring out a very loose design concept. I started by picking a limited set of tile shapes and a color palette.

Once the tiles arrived I had a piece of particle board cut to size for the base and I experimented with different motifs until I settled on a selection of floral shapes that gave me plenty of variety to fill space without locking me into one repeating pattern.

And then I was off! I basically doodled my way around the table, attaching tiles with Weld Bond (I went through 4 full bottles!) and rocking out to the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack.

Once the florals were done it was time for the background…

Over 3,800 1cm glass tiles make up the not-design part of the design. It went pretty quickly though because I just had to fill the space, leaving room for grout.

Once I had the tile done, my husband assisted with disassembly and reassembly. We used the legs off the original table for this one (waste not).

One huge bucket of black grout later…

She is finished.

I enjoyed making it and just looking at it makes me so happy - I can’t wait for all the dinners we’ll have around this table 🌼❤️
