The Midnight Baker Who Bakes at Midnight. Crafty, musical, and mother-Vulcan snarky. She/her (they/m in a pinch), religion: cake. Baked devotionals and other offbeat stuff at feraltomatoes.com. No worries, my existence infuriates me too.

The Watchers wait on...the sidewalk outside the 7-11, apparently #WoTsky #wheeloftime
Electrical box with adhesive letters at the top of the left-side door reading "TOMANHD." A 7-11 and an apartment building are visible in the background.

If >90% of the comments on a recipe you've posted are people having the same problem, the correct response is not "I am right; you are using inferior ingredients and/or not following my instructions." I really can't imagine being more invested in yourself than in the result.

I didn't get to realize it. I was told it, straight out, about things like being a reader and talking too fast and not being allowed to go to Knott's or wear shorts to school or have Barbies or long hair or pierced ears. Started at church (the unpopular one, natch), kept piling up. So, like, 4?

I've been wondering how many campaign flyers (and how much glue) it would take to make a really good scary shadowy creature.

This is one reason I don't do jigsaws anymore. The other reason is that when it's a social activity, other people like to get some pieces in once in a while.

We've fortunately made it to the teen years, so we can talk about accommodating the adults when possible, the way we've accommodated him. Big ones are not throwing dad off track (monotropism) and trying to understand my echolalia/scripting and auditory muddle issues. It's not going badly!

I've described our family as having "incompatible autism." I want people to be direct; my husband does it, but our son can't not beat around the bush. I have a special interest in food and cooking; kid has sensory no-no's and dad does a lot of samefood. Kid needs noise, dad needs quiet. It's hard.

"Long as I see you" for "Our Lips Are Sealed." I'd either never managed to hear the title or never connected it to the song. I only figured it out when the song was playing at Homecoming and I heard the line as a DIFFERENT mondegreen: "Alex the Seal."

We're personally uphill from this elevation but a lot of the local area may be in for interesting times when the wave/surge get to us. As one of the commenters said, it's almost like we weren't supposed to build a ton of homes in spots prone to flooding.

My mom used to say this but it turned out she'd just never had a girl cat in the house and had built up a whole mythology. She was amazed at how tightly bonded my sister and I became to our respective girl cats.

And it's been feeding back on itself more and more since artists flocked to one specific way to get around censorship laws, and the West ate it up. We would have been so much better off if the definition of "obscenity" had included CSA from the start.
