"I'll just put this laundry away while the kettle boils," I thought. An hour later, I remembered I was making tea.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Brown stew chicken with rice and peas, cabbage, and plenty of gravy. Sorrel, too, of course.

I know we're all afraid of making it taste like pistachio-flavored instant pudding, but pistachio cream should taste identifibly pistachio.

alt-alt: the Anne books are set in a vague late 1800s (if you try to work the timeline backwards from book 8 and WWI it doesn't really line up with reality) so a matronly Jo and fresh out of college Anne meet somewhere in Maine or Nova Scotia and Jo mentors her. or they kill each other. or kiss.

Part of me is watching Silo, the rest of me is hyperaware of the Bismarck pastry on the coffee table.

another Little Women au thought - the whole thing from the POV of the Hummels, the poor German family the Marshes help support. The ones who get scarlet fever first and Beth catches it from them. probably POV of Lottie, the oldest girl, who becomes Meg's maid when Meg marries Mr. Brooke.

Watched the first four episodes of Silo: Season 1 with Beloved, who has not read any of the books. He: "It's like Fallout except nobody ever goes outside." Me: 👀

Charlie does not understand why he cannot go out into the dark and splishy-splashy in the rain as if the world were a gigantic water dish.
