Last Night's Baking Adventure: White Chocolate Halvah Blondies
The kidlet and I made white chocolate halvah blondies from Claire Saffitz's Dessert Person cookbook last night, because, well, why not? They looked tasty, and I love halvah, while the rest of the fam adores white chocolate.
Though finding real white chocolate instead of "white candy," "white baking chips," or "white baking cream" (oh my GOD do you ( Read more... ) -
We Are Lady Parts
Someone please tell me that the horrifying embarrassment squick of episode one gets better, please.
Even with a number of years of trying to get over my embarrassment squick, that's...pretty hard core.
But there's a lot of adorable stuff in it. I just want to watch the entire season without "this is the shower scene streamed on YouTube in St Trinian ( Read more... ) -
Oh, Tumblr, back again to ruin all things fannish?
Or not, you decide, but they would like some of that sweet, sweet Patreon money from GenZ, and if the AO3 won't monetize fanfic, they will.

Legends of Tomorrow season 6
Anyone else still watching this? They've gone beyond giving no fucks and into "what can we get away with?" and I couldn't love it more.

SOLD: Silk Merino Roving for Sale - 3, 4 oz. braids
ETA: SOLD to a loving home!
My mom has this habit of buying me too much yarn. She finds it at Goodwill and estate sales, and I've trained her out of buying all the acrylic. Which, okay! It's great! I don't mind! (Though sometimes she does push me to desperately make things out of what she's found and show her what I've made, but okay, she can be ( Read more... ) -
Fear Street
I'd heard for a few years this was coming, but hadn't realized this was finally here. I will watch this without any information whatsoever because I read the shit out of R.L. Stine (finally, someone has realized this is a property to be mined) and also its opening is set in a mall. I worked a lot of mall jobs in the 90s.
But also I would like to say ( Read more... ) -
The Good Witch has a main character canon f/f pairing.
It's on the Hallmark Channel. It's not just a canon f/f pairing, it's an interracial canon f/f pairing. With one of the leads? Not with Catherine Bell's character obviously, but still. One of the primary witch trio. On the Hallmark Channel?
OK, it took them until season seven, but okay. That is fine. With me. (Clearly you can and should have a ( Read more... ) -
Interesting Discussion About Posting Con Membership Lists Online
Definitely some generational divide going on here.
Discon III explains why it isn't posting a membership list online. (Spoiler: Some members are getting harassed for going to the con.) That is a File770 link, for those that want to know.
The actual DisCon FB group where the question was asked is private and the discussion there is locked at the ( Read more... ) -
Guess who discovered she hasn't been getting emails about AO3 Related Works?
Well, shit. I'm going to have to hit up my settings to try to fix that (on AO3 or I'll just have to set up some filters on gmail), but until then, well, I guess I'm going to have to go and approve things. Damn it. This entry has been cross-posted to Dreamwidth (

If you are planning to watch The Nevers unspoiled, you don't want to read this
Claudia Black interview on her surprise casting, Joss Whedon, and breaking the cycle of trauma. It's a very thoughtful discussion of trauma. I'm not sure what a provisional Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in trauma treatment is, but Claudia Black has been trained as one.
She has a lot of really insightful things to say, not just about recent ( Read more... )
