Time for the best first impression ever, fuck yeah. My name's Nome. I write words. Sometimes people think the words I write are good.

See below for my thread of threads of threads - things I've written that I'd like to be able to find or reference, many of them ported over from my time on Twitter.

I unfortunately do not think that is the case.

I started reading a book last night that very cleverly handles the original bilingual text (Belarusian and Russian) by translating it into English and Scots, but my current level of painkillers have said "nope" and thus I guess it's time for a novella about vengeful ghosts instead

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

The story told here--one where anecdata suggests agency and autonomy have run amok and nameless activists are to blame--certainly rhymes with the NYT's disastrous panic about trans kids. Then you realize it's literally being written by the same author.

If @sonyplaystation.bsky.social doesn't make the PS6 look exactly like this, that will be an affront to Toriyama's legacy and I'll want a public apology from them.

It was a catchphrase word for seven years on one of the most popular TV shows in America at a time when people who are in their thirties or forties now would have likely been watching it nightly.

For fuck's sakes, lady.

Does this post from two years ago mean that I'm not an American either?

Canned cranberry sauce is pureed and sieved cranberries, water, and suger (or corn syrup).

It jellies because of the pectin in the cranberries, and has a fruit puree texture to match - it's nothing like the texture you get from Gelatin.
November 25, 2025 at 12:39 AM
If you think the texture is at all similar to jello, I wonder if someone maybe has been playing a prank on you.

I would *also* love cranberry flavored jello, to be clear, but that would be a completely different product. It would have no place on the table.

Never disappoints, either. Consistent product, every time, perfectly tart accompaniment to all the fatty/savory turkey day foods.

canned, gelatinous cranberry sauce is better than any whole cranberry bullshit you could ever make.

it is meant to be can shaped and sliceable.

Just sent $400 to partners Mom to save the Only Car for a family of 9 bc the $200 we sent yesterday was used to pay electricity. Rightly so.

Please help us recoup as that wiped out our dental treatment, grocery & bills fund.
