It was a long history of me antagonizing her, because she wasa a religious prude and deeply unsuited for the role, and I was a little asshole. I sat in the hall more than at my desk.

I asked my health teacher to describe an orgasm.

It’s a 40 year old Fuji road bike that a local co-op refurbished and I’m in love. It’s for my commute- I’m scheduled early for an 8-week project and the bus doesn’t run til later. I haven’t seriously biked since the mid 1990s, but I rode it home during rush hour yesterday with very little grief.

I bought a bike today! I’m very pleased.

He’s an otter by my reckoning.

This is the natural continuation of choosing the bear. We found The Universal Exception. And I truly don’t give a fuck if a meme of a dorky pretty 50 year old man hurts someone’s feelings.

I’m so fucking upset that overly dramatic Spiderman has nothing to do with the theft.

It’s a lot of fun, and there are wildly different projects for different tastes. I like the transcription projects, and any fish/mollusk surveys.

iNaturalist was already mentioned.

Zooniverse is a great citizen science project.

*I see you said no campus stuff, but look at local colleges for drug studies or brain imaging studies. There’s usually some criteria they need participants to meet- diagnosed with (x) or no history of (y)- but some are quick and compensate with cash.

Alphebetizing by the “The” should be a criminal act.

I am a biological woman. I identify as such. I don’t know what the same person plus 30+ minutes with a curling iron has to do with cheating. Effort? Vanity? This is far, far beyond me somehow. I am also very old so there’s that.

Happy baby

I make a German chocolate cake once a year for my partner’s birthday that uses an absolutely horrifying amount of sour cream. 12/10 would bake more if it wasn’t such a pain in the ass.

I’ll do about a quart of buttermilk in recipes around the holidays, but I’ve been leaning hard on my sour cream mixture.

I increased the amount to 3Tb per cup of water for my lemon pound cake, and I’m thinking about adding more. Testing the possibilities before summer hits and I bake a million loaves for when I go visiting.

Hoecakes.

Hoecakes.

Buttermilk is weird, and adding vinegar to milk is gross, so my workaround is 1TB sour cream per 1 c. Water, mixed together.

Also, if you’re sick of syrup, compound butter is a great alternative.

Correct.

Jesus christ.

You only need a little. Fat disperses flavor.

Chili crisp is a game changer for me. And i chop and freeze cilantro in an ice cube tray, so I have fresh cilantro to throw in at the very end. I’m going to start doing that with spring onions too, because I never use them all before they go bad.
