landlord just dropped the notice of non renewal on the lease and didn't even say why. can i substitute coconut oil for bacon grease to pour down the drain?

If you enjoyed Apothecary Diaries, you may also like Though I Am An Inept Villainess. We have the vaguely imperial palace type setting, we have the mc who is a cute weird little freak with low status in the palace unraveling intrigue. It's not as good as Apothecary Diaries, but it's still good.

I wonder how the Shencomix patreon is doing at this moment.

Isame…you suggested a couple days ago that I try writing for myself in a way that I enjoy and I’ve been doing that. My more professional stuff takes the simpler style I mentioned but everything else I get to write it how I prefer to write and it’s been great

it is september 11 and stalin saved the world from fascism

I don't have anything witty to say about 9/11 since I'm positively infant but the America Youth League at my state university just put up like 200 or so flags on one of the campus lawns and just gave up. Truly a lamentable performance

Re: Avatar Seven Havens trailer

I'm convinced the creators just actually hate Avatar TLA and want nothing more to do but write genre tropes while being arrogant about it. Besides the Voltran-ass art direction and uninspired mad max set pieces, I don't even know what the series is about.

The Avatar The Last Airbender trailer from 2004 fuckin stunts on this paramount+ slop any day of the year. I instantly know the setting, the characters, the overarching conflict and the heros journey. Meanwhile I'm scratching my head on what an "Avatar" is or what a "Seven Havens" is from this straight-to-reddit DVD.

Authors consumed by fandom and starting writing for fandom are doomed to always create simulacras.

I watched the uprising movie with Garfield in it. I know it's based off of the 1381 great peasants revolt and supposedly, according to the actor Garfield himself, supposed go scare the billionaires shitless.

First off, I learn once again I do not like Paul Greengrass' shaking camera style.

Second, I do note it's a thoroughly lib film. Thankfully the director tries to keep it historical so things that come off as rather maga hoggish have to be understood in historical context though I do wonder why would peasants be concerned with secure borders. At one point during the March on London, the thought occurs to me that you could easily draw parallels to the Maga hogs March on DC. If it wasn't for my familiarity with the Russian history of peasants with a crank priest marching on capitals to petition their sovereign I would've thought this was too on the nose an homage to the hogs. I went into this unfamiliar with the actual history of the peasants revolt but it did strike me immediately that "it would be super funny if history actually rhymed and this was going to be the precursor to the bloody Sunday the Russian peasants experienced." While they were being lead to an open field outside London to meet with their king. Of course the director agreed with me, and so does history and arrogant kings, because that's exactly what happened. Peasants blinded by the supposed divine glory of the sovereign, believing he's being kept captive by the evil aristocracy who torments his subjects with blood and taxes, being slaughtered like lambs by wolves at the order of the king because the dirt scrubbing peasants were being uppity asking to be freed from serfdom.

All in all, a rather lame movie, throes out a "We the commons are free in these woods, there are no kings to rule us" yadda yadda, the protagonist Garfield has the king that slaughtered his entire village at his mercy of his sickle and he let's him go because "there will always be another king" bleh.

This is why I prefer Soviet filmography.

Im allergic to lavender so whenever I see it in something or even the word my brain's automatically like "cant have that" but it extends to the color lavender or even images of it so unless im actively thinking I'll convince myself I cant get a light purple shirt because im allergic to it or a set of stickers because there's lavender flowers pictured

I mentioned George Santos in front of my 20 year old co worker who then proceeded to say "Who's that?". I fucking love telling people about George Santos, although I will admit it's been long enough that some of the memories have faded

For some reason I've had the Beverly Hills Cop theme stuck in my head all day. Just bouncing around singing synth-y nonsense to myself for hours

Incomprehensible but at least Linux is popular enough to have millionaire fascist posers. In some good news, Arch Linux refused DHH's fashbux and now DHH wants to switch to NixOS which will tip the boat even more.

I can't believe people here are joking about 9/11. My after school basketball club got cancelled that day and you're laughing?

remember kiddos, you can open one artery early on kirkmas eve

So many libs I know get super naval gazey on 9/11 and it makes me want to go full Tony Soprano and start bludgeoning people with an ice tray

Not a cellphone in sight, just people living in the moment

I am seeing some ridiculous propaganda being pushed for hamas allegedly planning terror attacks in Berlin and Vienna in the 7 October anniversary.

Listening to a podcast with a slightly more serious tone than usual and being confused why a minor speech error doesn't derail the episode for 10 minutes

we need something funny to happen tomorrow to get the trifecta

There's a firmament so how can there be aliens?
