horror is always like oh no they’re possessed by a demon well what about possessed by an angel? angelic possession is also horror.
That’s scarier I think. To know the possession is Necessary. That any attempt to stop it will lead to greater tragedy as the angel’s divine mission is interrupted. So you just have to sit there. And watch something else puppet your friend’s body.
there’s something so good about a character who hasn’t had enough comfort and warmth in their life and now has weird complicated kinda sexual feelings about being treated with actual basic respect and dignity and they feel like an awful gross pervert for it. i like those wires getting crossed
The bottom is peeling off my ancient slow cooker (not sure how, maybe I dropped it?) and that seems like it could become electrically unsafe if it keeps happening but I really really do not want to have to replace my slow cooker because I just KNOW that if I do I’ll talk myself into upgrading into a slow cooker/pressure cooker combo (I’ve never had a pressure cooker before) and that is simply not in budget.
At least that would fall under the advice my grandmother gave me - never buy a kitchen gadget that only does one thing.
Just the slow cooker only does “one thing” in the same way that a microwave does “one thing” or an oven does “one thing”. I think your grandma meant like, dedicated egg poachers and banana slicers.
But a combo does indeed do more things. The question is, are they more things I would make use of? I’ve never had a pressure cooker so I have no idea whether I’d actually use it (once the novelty wore off).
As far as I understand it, aside from being able to do jobs a slow cooker cannot (like canning, I think?) a pressure cooker lets you do what a slow cooker does, but fast. That whole ‘fall off the bone tender after four hours in the slow cooker’ deal, but in 45 minutes or something.
Derin you can cook dried beans So Easily. Its amazing. Like it makes them worthwhile to have as pantry food again
That’s great to hear I’m always forgetting to soak the beans and having to delay my bean meals. You guys need to stop telling me how cool these things are one is NOT in budget right now.
oh you have to eat your produce the moment it leaves the store or the fuckin Hungering Dust will get it. and. poison your food
I ran into this post years ago and to be honest, it has completely reoriented the way I engage with food.
Like. I’ve always sorta understood that things grow moldy or stale or sour or such if left out, but I never really internalized it in a meaningful way.
But now I’m just like.
Yeah. The hungering dust. There exists omnivorous dust in the air that will eat my food if I don’t.
Those bagels have been sitting there for a week. Are we going to eat them soon or are we leaving them for the hungering dust?
Pizza’s been sitting out on the counter for an hour. Everyone’s enjoying the pizza, but if we don’t want “everyone” to include the hungering dust then we should probably put it away soon.
That’s just. That’s how food works to me now. There exists an invisible predator in the air that hungers for your yummies, and it will not hesitate to eat your food if you don’t make the effort to protect and preserve it. And eat what can’t be preserved before the dust can.
I need to leave my apartment and go to work but there’s a female Downy Woodpecker on my suet block pecking crumbs onto the ground where a female Carolina Wren is eating them #womensupportingwomen
But I can’t leave because I would disturb them and they really need this right now (it’s 3F and going to snow)
love that you respectfully drew them instead of sharing them live for the world to see 😳
This is the content I like to see on my Tumblr dash
