i got to hang out up close and personal with goliath the elephant seal today as i transferred him back out into the exhibition after he had some conservation work done. he's based on a real life seal who was famous in the 1930s

a hand carved and painted set from a much larger circus parade. it features a massive elephant seal whose face is in the same expression that a cat makes when you let them smell citrus. there's a seal keeper standing near him (and dwarfed by him) holding out a fish that would be one bite of an appetizer to a seal this huge. there are also two other men in the frame who are the horse drivers in charge of the carriage that is trundling through the parade carrying this beefy boy

i just made one of the best sandwiches i’ve ever made i think simmered tofu skin in a sauce made of all the savoriest things you can imagine (list in alt), piled it onto a crusty ciabatta roll slathered with a sauce of veg mayo, spicy brown mustard, horseradish, and tons of black pepper. + arugula

the sandwich described in the post. the tofu skin recipe (roughly, i measure with my heart):

(1) 10 oz. package of dried tofu skin, soaked until it’s pliable and then torn into sort of sliced roast beef size pieces

simmer that in a sauce made from:

5 cups water
5 tsp no chicken better than bullion
3-4 tbl soy sauce
a big dash of liquid smoke
a big dash of gravy master
a spoonful of molasses
2 big spoonfuls of nutritional yeast
1-2 tsp of onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp black pepper

i'm seeing a lot of people (right and left) give nathan cofnas "credit" for the campaign against jason arday, and he's reveling in that attention, but cofnas is just a halfwit with a shitty substack who received leaked information and posted it. he is a cretin, but first and foremost he's nobody.

i want to make this jacket for the fall, but am torn between going for a small check or plaid like on the model, or maybe doing a bigger, bolder plaid, or maybe big floofy floral? ugh, i don’t knowwwwww but the shop is having a 20% off sale til tomorrow so i gotta decide

a white model with slicked back brown hair wearing a cropped jacket with a fitted waist and pointed collar. it zips up the middle. it’s made in a small brown, blue, and white plaida mannequin with a bold turquoise, pink, orange, teal, and yellow plaid fabric draped over it a swatch of cream colored fabric with sketchy roses partially colored in with light pinks, and green leaves
