valarhalla on tumblr: "If I have to read Frederick the Great’s personal coffee recipe with my own eyes, so do you"

["Frederick the Great used to make his own coffee, with much to-do and fuss. For water he used champagne. Then, to make the flavour stronger, he stirred in powdered mustard.

Now to me it seems improbable that Frederick truly liked this brew. I suspect him of bravado. Or perhaps he was taste-blind."]

T-Rex: Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective, frowned. The Not Impossible But At Least Improbable had happened.

T-Rex: He'd deduced that his current case was UNSOLVABLE!

T-Rex: There was simply not enough evidence to admit any suspects, let alone convictions.
T-Rex: He therefore told the grieving family they'd never have closure and went home.
T-Rex: THE END.

Utahraptor: Boo! He didn't even try?
T-Rex: He tried! Then he failed, THE END.

T-Rex: Okay, FINE. Sherlock then invented I MEAN DEDUCED a Victorian steampunk time machine to go back in time with and catch the guy.
Utahraptor: Now that's more like it! He's so smart!
T-Rex: Is he? He's only good at deduction, and that's ONE THING!

Off panel: "When you have eliminated the impossible [ways to build a time machine], whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth [vis-à-vis successfully building a time machine]."
T-Rex: ...I'll admit that it's a surprisingly versatile thing

Got the reply back from my Personal Independence Payment assessment. According to them there is absolutely nothing wrong with me. I scored zero across the entire range of things. Which is ridiculous. I've got a month to appeal. But not today because I'm feeling like crap.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

I'm going to do an experiment. This is honestly something I'm curious about. The purpose of this isn't to get likes, but this is really the least noisy way to do it without comments cluttering things up. How many people are trans lesbians? Like the post if you are. I think there are a lot of us. ❤️

I had (I think) my first experience of lucid dreaming last night. There is a lovely place that I've visited several times in my dreams and always wished existed in reality. I was there last night and realised that being there meant I was dreaming. So I took a little bit of control to see if I 1/

One week to Wiz-4 launching. As well as @samarcand.northsky.social 's tender "Marooned on Ceres" with a world changing queer encounter... in "Top Tips for Loving a Lizard" Harry muses on the absolute unlikelihood of there being aliens secretly hiding on earth... ... while he's shagging one. #booksky

“The universe was so old and so big, Harry quite accepted there might be intelligence out there somewhere but it would take them thousands of years to travel. He was also convinced that the tribal god of a small sandy plot in the Middle East had not created the world, let alone the universe.
So, who knows what aliens would look like, or think, or how they would have sex? Maybe they’d reproduce by cutting pieces off and repotting them, like his Mum’s geraniums.
Normal people had no time for the idea that the aliens would turn up, then hide, so they could manipulate world zinc prices or something. And how long could they stay secret, really?”

You, Dear Reader, know that Aiden is a lizard. Harry is shagging him and doesn’t.
