No, it’s just got an irritating sound. Also it makes me think about Niblets (the frozen corn kernels). But that’s not enough to explain how annoying I find that word. Maybe I’m just weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Something about that word irks me and I’m not sure why.

I’ve always loved that quote. Also this beast:

And we get a little further from perfection
Each year on the road
I think that’s called ‘character’; I think that’s
Just the way it goes
But it’s better to be dusty than polished like some
Store window mannequin
Won’t you touch me where I’m rusty
Let me stain your hands

But doesn’t the starter take like 3 weeks?

It takes me an hour to make pizza from scratch at home. I’ll grant it’s messy but it’s pretty easy!

Dough recipe

Pizza sauce recipe

Pizza stone

Pizza peel

1. Prepare dough following steps 1-8 in the dough recipe above
2. While your dough is rising, prepare the pizza sauce
3. Liberally dust your pizza peel with corn meal (use more than you think you need!)
4. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the pizza peel and pinch the edges to form a crust
5. Assemble and cook the pizza following steps 10-12 in the dough recipe above. I tend to use about 1/2 cup of pizza sauce, 4oz grated mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and pepperoni, but the sky’s the limit really
6. Enjoy!

Hey fellow Philadelphian! I’m originally from New Jersey but have lived in and around Philly since the late '90s.

I like the Citizen of Earth concept too. We’re all human and borders are just lines on a map!

Break out of frames!

Also jeans

A continuous passive motion machine.

I had arthroscopic hip surgery to repair a cartilage tear and shave down some bone overgrowth. For 3 weeks after surgery, I had to put my leg in this machine for an hour four times a day. It slowly bends and straightens your leg, which is supposed to help stave off scar tissue formation inside the hip. And it was rough. I needed my husband’s help to get strapped into the thing, I could never find a comfortable way to position my leg, the thing was noisy as hell so I couldn’t nap while I was using it, and I was lying flat on my back so it was hard to read a book or watch a show without hurting my neck. It sucked and I was so glad when I was cleared to stop using it.

When I was a young idiot, I really thought Clonaid was gonna be a thing. I guess I thought it was plausible because I grew up reading a fuckton of scifi and Dolly the Sheep had been born a couple years prior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Or as my husband’s Southern-ass grandma called it, the “war of northern agression” 🙄

I wish! Every now and again I search “polish” and “lacquer” hoping a new community will have been made, but so far no luck, though it’s been maybe a month since I checked. I keep trying to talk myself into starting one, but I don’t know if I have the patience for modding.

I’ve been pretty into four things lately:

1. Healthy cooking, from scratch as much as possible. I got into a rut trying to maximize protein intake, so now I’m trying to find different recipes that don’t compromise on macros but still offer variety in flavors and textures and won’t bother my IBS.
2. Nail polish and nail art. I have probably about 300 polishes at this point, which sounds like a lot to most people, but it’s a tiny collection compared to some I’ve seen! Last year I got really into nail stamping, which lets you create neat little designs, and you can get really creative with it.
3. Working out. I recently moved, and designed a power rack for my basement which is pretty fully featured. My goal was to be able to do all the exercises I could do at my previous fitness club (within reason - no way I’m buying a tank sled and a billion 45 lb plates!). I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, and so is my husband, which I’m glad about because he’s a tall dude and working around the low-ish basement ceiling was a challenge.
4. Indie makeup! Holy Moses I love makeup, and indie brands are killing it. My most recent favorite palette is the Cosmic Brushes Winter Wonderland palette (which came out last year, but is new in my collection). Just look at her!:

Gorgeous, right? No way I’m ever going back to boring neutrals.

Redbud. It’s got such pretty blossoms and the leaves are a really pleasing shape.

Plus birch beer is awesome

Sometimes it’s meant like “I’m about to ask what might sound like a dumb question, but I’m genuinely asking, so please take me seriously.”
