Related: my partner has a milk protein allergy and the dairy free options in most random grocery stores are typically excellent?? Like I made dairy free flan for her (one of her favorites from before). And French silk pie. And we recently made DF fettuccine alfredo??

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

it's because every consumer of this content is a dude who is fuckall at sports and gets dogwalked by every other dude he's ever played so now he gets a kick out of watching a woman lose and pretends he'd have done better. It's pure inceldom dressed in sports

it's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't

the best HS teams in the country have multiple guys who will be in the NBA in a couple of years. they aren't normal high schools, they're basketball factories. but this literally doesn't matter. the value of women's sports isn't contingent on their performance vis a vis men.

Don't just drive past the premise, though, which is absurd. Any WNBA team is exclusively the top 0.01% athletes in the sport. Pretending that a high school team could hang with, much less beat, them is ridiculous.

Let us examine the set of circumstances that led to this Eulimnadia clam shrimp living out its entire live cycle in a styrofoam cup on the ground.

The only *guaranteed* piece of craft advice I can give -- I mean the advice that is universally applicable -- is that if you kill many other writers and eat their scribere gland (roughly the size of a black-eyed pea, so be careful not to damage it) then your prose will improve immensely

My tiny lumpy orb man made his "web" for us! It's just a single strand lined with tiny sticky balls of silk laced with moth pheromones - a method of prey attraction also shared by the more famous Bolas spiders, and Kaira orb weavers. I love them 🤍

Young Phoroncidia americana lad appeared today and made my day, I hadn't seen one in a couple years. They're so silly and lumpy 🥹
