Followed Captain America for about an hour through the mountains today.

He was raising money for this charity, by the way: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-resilience1220-honor-legacy?attribution_id=sl:48064861-b76f-45a8-bd71-eae02944933c&lang=en_US&ts=1760204646&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp13_t1-amp17_control&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&fbclid=IwVERDUANehwlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHvvgyUGeKwxGL4JOOMOhVVYnZIr0lxsLCT7OgUXGmNqXz9E_DdTtB6BBucHA_aem_-21S5iliNRnN25ZFvQFyqQ

He skipped NYCC to support a local charity related to the school shooting in Evergreen Colorado a few weeks ago. He’s matching donations up to what the cost of his trip to NYCC would have been, so $1,000. He’s at about $275 so far. If you’ve got a few dollars to chip in, I think he’d appreciate it!

He’s a good dude. Using the Captain America image the right way.

This weapon requires someone worthy to wield it. You are not worthy. But it’s the only weapon within reach, and there are people who need saving.

Time to rip the stone out of the ground and wield Excalibur like a warhammer.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

girl you erected a mysterious black monolith that contained all the knowledge your culture had ever collected were you hoping he’d develop rudimentary tool use

I know I’ve been asking a lot lately, and I appreciate every one of you who’s donated, more than I can possibly tell you. I’m still looking for work, and still making stuff to sell, things are tough right now. Every dollar and every reblog means the world to me.

I know I’ve had quite a few fundraisers here lately, but a lot of my friends are struggling, especially Jesse, who has been my friend for over 15 years now. Anything you can spare to help keep him afloat will help.

Eeeee a beautiful Melanistic Squirrel, thank you! They are fascinating and striking creatures and will often be part of a larger local breeding population. New York City is known for having a breeding population, isn't that cool? (and upstate New York similarly has a breeding population of white deer, isolated on army property by a fence.)

Absolutely striking images, thank you so much!

I didn't get a picture because I was driving but I saw my first melanistic squirrel in Colorado the other day!

When I lived in CA as a kid, I was close enough to Stanford university that the population of black squirrels that originated there were regular visitors to the yard, including a particularly earnest one that had fallen in love with the little resin squirrel statue in the front yard. This arboreal Pygmalion used to bring his beloved rodent Galatea offerings of peanuts and candy, groomed any developing moss off her and they even had an active love life.

IDK if personification of inanimate objects (squirrelfication?) is a thing with black squirrels or is this was an unusual individual, but I remember him fondly.

I'm always flattered but bewildered WHY you guys ask me this stuff


elodieunderglass:

shark-hat:

Yes, Yorkshire puddings and pease puddings are fellow savoury descendants of the "thing boiled in a bag in a pot" line! Pease pudding (put split peas in a muslin bag, suspend bag in your boiling pot-of-everything until they've swelled, burst, and cohered together) is still much the same, though now just made in big vats commercially and sold tinned. (Very useful pantry staple because you can thin it down for instant split pea soup, flavour with any bean flavouring, or just eat cold.) Yorkshire puddings have a more winding path. Batter puddings (put flour and water batter in a muslin bag, suspend bag in your boiling pot-of-everything until done) are essentially large dumplings and were good to serve as a first course for a large poor family to fill them up before the expensive main course; once fewer people are cooking with cauldrons on open fires and more of them have ovens, you can bake a batter pudding under the meat instead- again, the name pudding sticks after the cooking method has changed. "Yorkshire" is probably because they were actually eaten a fair bit in Yorkshire (after dying off in some other parts of the country) because it was a poorish agricultural county- and then people noticed how nice they are and picked up the idea again, this time with the Yorkie name.

You know, by writing this out you are going to solve a LOT of problems for a lot of people. Thank you!

Elodie. The reason people ask you this stuff is because not only do you know it, you don't judge people for not knowing it, and you also make lovely illustrated explanations of the thing.

I still haven't full recovered from the COVID I had mid-September. Cardio tends to be rough.

I still have most of my strength though and I'm starting to regain some stuff I lost to the foot and shoulder.

The plantar faciitis still isn't quite healed, but I can now to Olympic lifts again. I'm still not running, jumping, or doing anything that requires bouncing on the ball of my foot. It is healing, just very slowly.

Fast squats are causing my calves to tighten up. Given all the other issues I've had with tendonitis and alike, I think I have weak calves and I should work on that.

I can kick up into a handstand again, which has been nice. I can swing from the bar again too, though my shoulder still hurts at night.

I had the smoothest set of wall balls in a very long time yesterday. These challenge my knees, ankles, shoulders, back, and a few other things, so having a good set means a lot of things are working well.

Content Advisory: US government classified and controlled unclassified info leaked to news outlets, within.

[Previously: The Essequibo (Buddy-ta-na-na, We Are Somebody, Oh): Part 1]

Now, when looking at these strikes being carried out in the Caribbean, shockingly, I think there's not been a ton of coverage on this. CNN, for one, their Pentagon reporters, have been some of the only ones consistently covering what's happening in Venezuela. CNN and the New York Times right now, I would say, are the two that are kind of all over this and have been for a while. I don't know why it's getting so little coverage elsewhere, but it is. So, normally I would like to look at these, uh, these reports and source them from multiple different outlets and we just don't have that because there's so limited coverage around US military operations in SOUTHCOM right now.

— Preston Stewart [PrestonStewart on YT], 2025 Oct 15, "American Bombers Send A Message To Venezuela"


[...] I know that the people of the United States are attentive observers and the people of the United States are very aware of what is being attempted against Venezuela is armed aggression to impose regime change.

— Nicolás Maduro, 2025 Oct 3, via Times of India via AP via VTV, "Venezuela Deploys Army & Tanks After Another Deadly U.S Attack, Fighter Jet action"


I am still desperately trying to pull together Part 2 of this series, but in the meanwhile, more things keep happening. I keep checking in with my focus group, aka, Mr. Bostoniensis, about what he is seeing in the news, because my own algorithms are, uh, rather peculiarly trained at this point, and the answer seems "rock all", so I thought I'd post a news round-up of some of the developments over the last couple of weeks. (Holy crap it's been two weeks.)
