This is who runs this account.

Another issue I’ve long been frustrated with is the tendency to require citations for any assertion (period) and massive lit reviews before we even get to the thrust of the new thing being studied, leading to such things as the paper below, saved in my photos for 6ish years…

A screen capture of an article titled “The Utility of Cervical Auscultation in the Evaluation of Dysphagia”, from SIG 13 Perspectives on Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders. The paper begins, “In approximately 6000 BC, an ancient civilization arose on the plains of Mesopotamia (Piggott, 1961).” The paper then continues to discuss Mesopotamian civilization, not cervical auscultation nor dysphagia, until the end of the screen capture.

Seasoning update: starting to get areas of pretty high gloss. Some uneven areas still.

A carbon steel pan held up to the light so the seasoning is visible. Areas of high gloss are visible, but also uneven areas of less smooth seasoning.

Omg you really can't.

the fuck is this?

Questionable and predatory text in the image reads: $73,690, median annual salary for writers and authors as of May 2023, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). $84,380, median annual salary for post-secondary teachers as of May 2023, according to BLS.

I choose to believe that the author of my bb’s Easter Velveteen Rabbit spin off book is a @chucktingle.bsky.social super fan.

Two pages from a children’s book. The first page includes text: “However good or bad you feel, I promise you our love is Real”. The next page shows a storybook illustration black girl with space buns cuddling a brown bunny stuffy in her bed.

Actually I think the focus should be on this nugget here. He's doing what he said he would do, his base is aware, so we can all move on from pretending to be surprised and Do Something.

CBS News Poll. The question is, "Trump and campaign promises: Is he doing...?" The results are 70% agreeing that he is doing what he promised in his campaign. 30% say he is doing different things from what he promised in his campaign.

VERDICT: It’s soup! Potatoes did not disintegrate as much as I’d like, and the rice is not perfectly cooked, but its pretty good overall!

Bowl of clear soup with chicken, potato, rice, and carrots floating around. Other veggies have gone translucent.

Sophie Whirly@sophiewhirly· Nov 18

Ok well here’s some chicken cooking if you don’t wanna see that scroll on past. Drummies are my fav to keep on hand bc they freeze well, are forgiving to cook, and have bone/skin.

Several chicken drumsticks cooking in pot with mirepoix!

Sophie Whirly@sophiewhirly· Nov 18

Got to mirepoix eventually, despite baby’s best efforts.

So here we are, starting with some moldering fridge vegetables. Who keeps buying baby carrots knowing she’ll never eat them as they were meant to be eaten? This gal.

A sad onion, bag of celery, and dried out baby carrots on a cutting board.

My mom very sweetly sent me a plant for my first Mothers’ Day! I open the box and this is what’s inside:

I made these fingers. Turns out you’re allowed to just make fingers. And the person they’re attached to. It’s totally fine.

WHAT UP GUYS IM ALIVE AND ADDITIONALLY I HAVE CREATED LIFE. TREMBLE BEFORE ME, FOR I EMBODY THE FONT OF CREATION. Also I haven’t showered in 4 days.
