Please don’t hate me…

When it comes to pics of the male ass, I am a “back and cheeks” fellow rather than a “hole lotta vortex” sort. In person, hole is a joy. But for some reason I’m less swayed in pics and vids. A hint of hole is nice. Hoping this doesn’t dampen anyone else’s enthusiasm. 😔

The main antagonist of the King franchise “It” was given lots of British currency once upon a time, but squandered it: it gave rise to the expression “Pennywise: pound foolish”.

Hey y'all. I'm still waiting on unemployment and living on my rapidly dwindling savings.

Please pardon the dead name, but if you could help me out with some money for groceries? Please? #helpsky

Friday, I was getting on the train while heading to work and a protester had this sign. The male-presenting person let me take a photo when I asked him.

Feels timely.

Black beans update!

They are so so so good! Not quite abuelita level, but I like how they came out. But now I need to get rid of them (via eating) so I can make chili later.

So, we have another successful experiment. 👍🏽

Just marking that I’m aware of the video. That’s now two people in less than a month. They will keep doing this until actually stopped. They won’t stop on their own.

So… division head/super’s boss tells me to plan on telework on Monday.

The nearest supermarket was picked clean of bread/eggs/milk/meat, in part because we don’t know if we’ll get 6 in/160 mm of snow, or we’ll get 10 in/254 mm. But the winds blew in tonight/Fri and temps plunged.

Next week Friday, the 30th, will be my birthday.

Yes I will ask for nudes.
Yes I will provide alternative ways for willing people to donate if they don’t want to post.
Yes, I will ask repeatedly over the next few days. 😊

This year ends in a naught, so I’ll be especially annoying. 😁

Gungjung tteokbokki is one of my faves, even as someone who likes spice. It’s sweet, savoury, and the “royal” part is using beef.

Have yet to attempt a version of kimchi without gochutgaru, but it’s on the list.
Shocked to learn of the original versions of tteokbokki and kimchi before chilies were introduced to the Koreans. They're practically unrecognizable to modern palates

So, in my adventures in Learning to Love the Legume™️, I have soaked black beans and consulted several recent for the Cuban style that my last grandmother used to make.

This afternoon before I leave for game night I will pressure them and see if I can get the sofrito decently good enough.

You ever go into a supermarket, look at a tin of Le Sueur sweet peas and think “What if this tin is non binary? 🤔

Poor fella went into entomology hoping for fame and fortune. Instead of applause, it’s all crickets and that bugs me more than it should.
