Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 19/03/2025These blueberry mini pies are not pretty, but they are delicious. It’s all I can do not to eat four of them right now. 290
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 07/03/2025These go by a lot of different names, but I call them Five Layer Bars. Made them for my D&D group last night, and I am quite pleased with the results. 080
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 03/03/2025I know, right? The flour people with a flourless cake. It was great, though - the kind of intensely chocolate thing that calls for a cup of coffee or a glass of red wine. Or vanilla ice cream, depending on how you roll. 000

Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Looking for fun, funny, sexy escapism in These Trying Times? Kimberly Lemming’s Mead Mishaps series is full of fated mates, sexy demons, and Black female leads who are equal parts smart, hilarious, hot, and charming. I tore through all three pretty fast because I was having such a good time. 031

Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 09/02/2025We’re on round five of focaccia now, and I think I’m getting the hang of making sure the dough is properly hydrated. Used AP flour instead of bread flour based on my internet research, and that seems to have been a good move. 050
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 08/02/2025My suggestions when it’s time: Bread Flanders, Shaun of the Bread, or Breading Kink 100
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 05/02/2025MADDIE PRYOR! Omg, do I actually know another Steeleye Span fan besides me and my brother? 110
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 05/02/2025It is the first one! I enjoyed it enough that I'll probably pick up the next one after I finish this The Dark Is Rising reread that I'm about to kick off. 020
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Just finished with The Mimicking of Known Successes, which is both sci-fi and classic gas lamp mystery all at once. The world-building is fascinating (if hard to visualize), and I loved the characters. Also, space lesbians. 2181
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Oh, you voted Republican because you wanted to save babies? USAID saves babies, you absolute fuckwit. Our health care agencies save babies. Birth control and comprehensive sex ed and social programs that serve mothers and children save babies. You made the baby-killingest vote you possibly could. 093

The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory. 141187216609

Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Just started on "The Mimicking of Known Successes"! I'm only a little ways in, but I'm enjoying it a lot. My love of gaslamp settings continues even when they're on Jupiter. 071
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 24/01/2025I like Wallace Stevens' writing better, but honestly, that time he came for Ernest Hemingway and got his lights punched out? Dude kinda had it coming. He was good on the Supreme Fiction, but apparently missed out on the Supreme Non-Fiction of "talk shit, get hit." #poetry 131
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 23/01/2025I hate it. One spends so much money on teeth, and it's not like it even gets you better or more exciting teeth. They just continue to do what they should do. If I'm gonna shell out this much on teeth, I should be able to chomp through bones or something. 010
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I loved them so much! Especially the first two - I'm honestly tempted to go back and read them both again right now. 000

Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Just finished with the last of Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series, and I wish it weren’t over. These books are cozy sci-fi at its best, with charming characters and thorough, interesting world-building. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a bit of escape. 240
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 20/01/2025For what purpose am I choosing them? Is this like Pokémon? 000

Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 13/01/2025That’s where I ended up falling. It’s where I came down on Ryan Adams, too, and I used to love his music so much. Not all art can be easily separated from the artist (and frankly I’m not sure “separating the art from the artist” is the ace intellectual move some folks claim it is). 020
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 13/01/2025It’s pretty brutal and graphic. I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t want to read it at all. It’s probably enough to know “he’s absolutely a rapist and a predator.” 000
Kate @kosmicpossum.bsky.social · 13/01/2025That’s what Whitney and I decided to do today. We just finished taking everything off the shelves and moving it to the donation box in the garage. 020
