every time i do this quiz the “tag sale” question immediately gives away my birthplace and early childhood

A heat map of the United States, where the hot colors indicate similar speech and dialect patterns. In this version, the entire northeast coast and Florida are deep red, indicating similarity, and there are little pockets of red with California. The Midwest is helllw and the upper west is dark blue, indicating very little dialectal overlap.

Oooo yes let’s do this, ask away

Post originally by lazy8blog on tumblr.

Give me a fanfiction trope and I’ll grade it:

- A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.
- B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.
- C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.
- D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.
- F: Hate it. Will immediately make me nope out of a fic.

a little charcuterie dinner for the long weekend

Front and center is a charcuterie board loaded with two kinds of cheese, dates, nuts, carrots, hummus, jam, mustard, and in the background is a wooden bowl of crackers and a lit candle.

Photo of a calico tortie cat sitting on the floor with her back up the camera. She is in front of an empty wet food dish and an empty automatic feeder. Her head is turned around so she can stare balefully at the viewer with an accusatory, green-eyed glare, as if to say, “are you seeing this? why haven’t you done something about it it?!”

Another week gone, another dinner hit! Saving this one in the books as “Summer Rainbow Salad.”

Photo of a large round serving plate taken from above. The plate is filled with food. There is a row of grilled steak, sliced and arranged down the. On either side in stripes are a variety of fruits and vegetables: raspberries, strawberries, yellow tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, blueberries, and sliced radishes. The entire thing is on a bed of baby arugula, and crumbled goat cheese is sprinkled on top.

Another phenomenal dinner courtesy of Julia Turshen, in this case, a “What Goes With What” recipe: baked haddock with roasted cauliflower and and zesty, bright, tomato-olive-herb-garlic-red wine vinegar topping. The perfect late spring meal, shoutout to the fishmonger around the corner!
