you're right and you should say it (as the person on the left of this picture). indie comics shows should curate better

Hey. You know those cute little crow time comics everyone loves so much? That's Isa. That's who everyone is talking about. I think that needed to be made clear since I noticed some confusion and a lot are actually rather unaware of this fact because she's great at separating herself from this.

watching the sopranos and seeing how tony uses therapy to sharpen his skills and uses language learnt in there to go about his business is brilliant tv, would rec for that alone

It's been a long ten years and I finally get to talk publicly about what happened behind closed doors. Please take the time to read this letter and please avoid working with these people. You are more valuable than an opportunity for people like them to use you as cash cow for your work. 🧵

revolting, what the fuck also your character designs are next level good, they immediately tell you the important information about the character and their story so they're a FANTASTIC choice to go on a cover!!!!! omg!!!

absolute ghouls. they had something that could have been great and they used it to screw so many artists who put their trust in them

this is age-old discourse, i can't believe i'm seeing someone say this sincerely in 2025. this is a fake problem located entirely within a specific type of fandom. there is plenty of non-gay art about male friendship and being gay continues to be much more stigmatized than "men being friends"

the dracula ballet was wonderful but instead of an original score had what felt like a "BEST OF EPIC/EMOTIONAL CLASSICAL MUSIC" playlist. night on bald mountain, claire de lune, 1812 overture, and more mashed together. on the nose at best and distracting at worst

i think i subscribe to the team cherry school of development secrecy, id just rather make my stuff totally disconnected from social media and never post about it than have to post for Engagement. unfortunately many con/market panels check your social media follower count 🫠

anyway the guy i bought them off told me the secondhand market is always hot. he runs a fair sized operation but still buys secondhand. so that's nice to know, it's not like other mediums (painting, linocutting) where i'd hesitate to go secondhand (unless it's like a printing press!)

delighted to pick up 4 huge screens for screenprinting for $25 each today instead of the $188 i'd have paid new. EACH. i'm so excited to be able to do huge designs on my tea towels now, i thought i'd have to do them half/half with small screens. totally opens a world of possibilities for me

it's unbelievable that a tiny "nonprofit/charity" can wreck the incomes of so many artists, hiding behind the veil of "we care about sex trafficking victims" when it's ALWAYS about banning porn and furthering their nasty little homophobic and whorephobic agenda

also the fortified wine out of the bottle tastes like 6 dollar fortified wine. absolutely vile. will be using it in more sauces though, I hate the stuff so never have it in the house but that has changed today
000
malverav @malverav.bsky.social · 06/06/2025
alright success!! it looks totally unappealing but turned out VERY tasty i boiled the sauce quickly as if making a red wine gravy, put the pork in for a bit before slicing it, and also added butter to the sauce at the end. doesn't taste like it was made of 2 cups of wine and not a lot else!
me holding my dinner of pork, red wine sauce, and polenta. bone apple teeth

malverav @malverav.bsky.social · 06/06/2025
then, after thickening it ans pouring the sauce over the polenta, I am to "cook the pork chops in the same wine sauce" but i poured it over the polenta????? I also already mostly cooked the chops, so im gonna add the chops back to the sauce to cook them a bit more before adding to the polenta?
just 2 cups of wine boiling on the stove

malverav @malverav.bsky.social · 06/06/2025
ok it wants 2 cups of wine in the sauce, this is SO MUCH WINE. do they mean glasses of wine??!? the sauce is wine + my celery/parsely lovage substitute and some spices... seems wild they say "add starch" at the end which i am taking to mean like cornflour to thicken the sauce
2 metric cups of wine, which seems like a lot!

it goes to substitute "garum", an ancient fermented fish sauce with anchovies, but in australia I can buy every kind of fish sauce at the supermarket. I agree with pliny the elder in that it's good enough to drink straight, like honey. I also eat anchovies from the jar so maybe I am a freak

"laser/silphium" has been extinct since emperor nero but garlic is a good sub. asafetida is better but I didn't think to look for it at the grocer today. laser is so strong that apparently you could destroy a dish completely by adding slightly too much. unlike garlic which only improves the food!

"ligusticum" is love parsely/lovage, which i do not have, so the book recommends subbing half celery and half parsely to get the flavour

this does mean I will forever have a bucket that is a concrete bucket and wont come clean. I don't have a wheelbarrow to mix it all in either and I am d r e a d i n g how long it's gonna take to mix up 60kg of concrete bit by bit...
