“Charles Lost The Car Just In Front Of Me”

Mamá (see profile pic), Mew and Mew3 (these weren’t supposed to be their names).

I noticed Mamá nursing her babies under a neighbour’s balcony, hence the name.

Mew and Mew3 (and Mew2) were supposed to be adopted, hence why I didn’t give them real names. Mew2 was adopted, but not her sisters, so that’s it!

If you have a cat please reblog this with its name please and thank you

The normalization of fandom has really destabilized me. Normalize being in a fandom, but don’t normalize fandom culture. Or should I say, don’t trivialize it. Stop bringing it to the forefront. I don’t need it going back to the people I’m shipping. Fandom should remain a fringe movement in fringe parts of the internet, and not go mainstream

We need to gatekeep fandom.

Fandoms are made by and for weird nerds.

Fandoms are suposed to be weird, fandoms are suposed to be cringe, fandoms are suposed to be horny.

Fandoms are inherently proship, as in, "ship and let ship" always was basic fandom etiquette before the normie invasion.

Fandoms aren't suposed to follow canon, fandoms aren't suposed to be pure, clean, sanitized or marketable.

Fandoms are for self-shippers, bad cosplayers, rule 34, bad fanart, strange headcanons, crackships, darkships, edgy fanart, bad fandubs, bad ocs, AMVs, rps, askblogs, confession blogs, cringy memes, random gore, fucked up re-imaginings and most importantly fandoms are about FUN

I think we were a little too kind letting the normies in while they were bored out of their mind during quarantine, because now fandoms are being destroyed by puritans who don't understand what fandoms are to their core.

This is not for you.

The Artist's Way quote is so interesting! And true! How did you unblock your creativity?

The Artist’s Way always works wonders on me. It puts me back in touch with what I actually feel and what I actually want ❤️ Can’t recommend it enough.

This particular time, these things have shifted the block.

1. Turning the news off. Not just down. Off. Turning it off for good. Covering my eyes, screaming and fleeing the room if anyone turns it back on. Blocking the sites, deleting the apps. This one is non-negotiable for me. I have to centre my life in the quiet and comfortable world that actually exists around me, not the burning global battleground that the media needs us to stay trapped in. (”Things are terrifying! More terrifying by the day! Come read about the latest dangers!… and drive our web traffic figures and advertising profits ever upwards.”)

2. Accepting that procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s fear.

3. Sitting down and asking myself, ready to listen, “What’s frightening you, my small friend? What can I chase away from you? Point at all the scary things and I’ll get them out of here.” Then doing it.

4. Buying myself a set of nice pens shaped like tiny sharks.

5. Getting angry about the things that hurt. All the things, even the tiny throwaway things, even the things from ages ago, even the things my loved ones told me just to forget about. Getting angry at the people who did the hurtful things, then writing a lot of very sweary letters with my shark pens.

6. “My anger deserves my respect,” whenever I remember to say it. Writing it out with my shark pens. “Anger is my friend. Anger points the way.”

7. “I receive your good willingly, universe.” When happiness shows up, get it a sandwich and a comfy seat. 

8. Restocking the pond. Creative minds need raw materials they can turn into creative work: images, sounds, sensations, feelings. Mine’s no different. It takes a while to let myself believe (not just nod like yeah yeah sure, but believe) that pursuing heartfelt interests isn’t selfish. It’s vital to maintaining a healthy flow of passion. I wouldn’t expect someone to bake a cake without using any ingredients.

9. Listening for the sad little inner voice that mumbles, “I want a biscuit.” Getting it a biscuit. (I’m serious about this. We spend live our lives telling ourselves in a hundred different tiny ways each day that we don’t deserve the biscuit, don’t deserve the shark pens, don’t deserve the friends we have, don’t deserve the good things that come our way, don’t deserve to try writing the things we actually really want to write. It builds up and it cripples us. You reverse the spiral by starting with the biscuit.)

10. Piece of paper, pen. (Shark-shaped or otherwise.) “Honestly, I think I…” Twenty times daily. Write fast and don’t think. You’re not writing in blood, it’s ink and you’re allowed to say it, no matter what it is. Good thoughts, bad thoughts. Write them down. Fill in all twenty every single day. You’ll watch yourself writing the same handful over and over, everyday, stronger and stronger, until you let yourself write this one: “Honestly, I think I might do something about that.”

Happy hulk for the soul

OMG!!! Crusty shepherd's pie?!?! Where have you been all my life!??!?

I have only ever known Shepherd's pie as "Pâté chinois", our lovely Quebecer dish, which I LOVE. But now I am sitting here, reading your explanation @scriptfoodie, wondering what are those versions of which I have never heard a word?!?? Must look into the history of Shepherd's pie!

Hey foodie! Can you talk a little bit about different approaches to shepherd's pie? I've heard there are differences but I don't really know what they are. Thankeeee!! xoxoScripty

Hey scripty, great question! Oooooh Shepherds pie, Shepherds pie!!! This is my bf’s absolute fave so you can imagine how many times and different ways I’ve made it! For starters you can go with or without a crust AND there are different kinds of crusts to choose from. Some will go with puff pastry which I don’t personally recommend because they tend to go soggy so quickly. A pate brisee (savory tart crust) would be up to the task but I prefer the buttery flakiness found in regular old pie crust. I make mine with ice cold vodka for extra crispness but that’s another topic for another day. Once I’ve decided whether or not I feel like making a crust I move on to my meat. Chicken, beef and turkey always work well in Shepherds pies and don’t break the bank. The meat can be ground or cubed but I prefer medium to small sized cubes, steak trimmings if I can find them. I toss the meat with a little flour before browning and it ends up making a nice gravy at the bottom. It IS meant to be a “poor man’s dish” but there’s no rule that says you can’t use fish or seafood or whatever as long as the proper alterations are made. Change up the seasoning, lower the cooking temp and maybe try something like pureed cauliflower in place of potatoes? The limit does not exist! Traditional mix-ins include peas, carrots, corn and onion but WHY settle for those when you have the cornucopia of vegetables to choose from? Turnips, parsnips, pumpkin, beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes- YOU NAAAAME IT!!!!! (I’m so sry I can’t let that die, yet) I like to top my Shepherds pie with pureed potatoes instead of mashed because they’re so smooth and silky and it’s easier to mix in the cheese, that way. Some prefer to sprinkle their cheese on top if they decide to use any at all but every time I see a thick, heavy layer of congealed cheddar on top of perfectly made potatoes I… just… I just die a little inside. Once the pie is finished I let the whole thing brown under my broiler so the potatoes can develop those sexy little crispy bits we all know and love. So there you have it, my $.02 on the phenomenal dish that is Shepherds pie!

Why am I completely mesmerized

"It's been a tricky day, but we've learnt a lot. Now, it's gonna be all about analyzing the data of both cars, and take the best decision for tomorrow... [The car is] not particularly fast, unfortunately, but...we are on it."

I think I geeked out a bit there >.>

As a nurse, it’s hard to shut off my brain. Here is report on Will after Season 2.

This is Will Graham, he’s a Do Not Announce patient, full code, moderate fall risk, stand by assist. He’s on the heart monitor, and had a few PVC’s, but the Doctor is aware and just wants to monitor. Hospitalist, General Surgery and Colorectal Surgery are on his case. His ex boyfriend stabbed him and tried to kill his friends at a dinner party. History of Asperger’s, PTSD, anxiety, depression and seizures, but he’s had no seizures for me. He has a Dilaudid PCA of 0.5 every 10 minutes with a lockout of 10. He’s got a new colostomy bag placed two days ago, and an abdominal binder. He empties it himself and doesn’t ever put his light on. He’s super hot, and I wish all of my patients were like him.
