Someone in the /r/chicagofood subreddit just posted themselves dipping an Italian beef sandwich from Portillos into Malort and of course I immediately thought of you.

This is profoundly upsetting and also I need to try it immediately.

I make my own Italian Beef. I could conceivably create a jus using Malort. Call that the Swedish Beef, or maybe just...the Portillö.

Do you have a page where you sell your art and or prints of your art?

I plan to have a shop set up in the coming year :) Hopefully in the next few months if time permits. Thank you for your interest 🌻

From the next chapter of In An Ominous Way, It’s A Beautiful World:

The dark, torchlit dining hall was their training arena in miniature - a short walk of stairs lead down to an eight-foot deep pit set into the obsidian floor. Long tables were set on three sides of the pit. Shang Tsung sat at the head of the table, eyes gleaming, a smile of menacing beneficence on his lips. 

“Welcome, honored champions of Earthrealm! Please, seat yourself for the feast.”

Thanks @spirker

Three ships:

- Gentlebeard

- Jeeves and Wooster

- Harriet Vane and Peter Wimsey

First ship:

If non-romantic relationships count, Sibilance's interactions with her dad Taxi in Midnight Hour Encores gave me MAD father envy. (Still do.)

For romantic ships, Blossom Culp and Alexander Armsworth. Blossom is smarter, funnier, more resourceful, and stronger than Alexander is, and they both know it, but he has the good sense to trust her judgment even when he's half-seriously moaning about her having gotten them into Another Situation. Take away Ed Teach's fear of spiders and make him a scrappy adolescent girl, and you're most of the way to Blossom.

Last song:

‘Bobcaygeon- The Tragically Hip

Currently reading:

Gentlebeard fic and We Do This 'Til We Free Us

Last film:

Brief Tender Light (2022)

Watched this for house movie night. This documentary follows four MIT students from Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe through their time in college.

Currently craving:

More hours in a day, especially in the evening when everything is fascinating except sleeping! This is not a solvable craving.

Last Thing(s) I Googled: [spoiler for the wordle], wanted to remind myself what that word meant.

Dream Trip: If we're talking destination vacation kind of things, I'd love to see the Van Gogh museum. But otherwise, I really want to do like a road trip kind of thing with friends where you just stop at every little weird roadside stand or tourist trap kind of place.

I was tagged by @wiwaxia​!

Favorite color: Green

Currently reading: Listening to Unseen Academicals.

Last song: Uhhhh, “Eda’s Requiem” is still pretty stuck in my head? I mostly listen to music when SO is driving us somewhere and don’t remember what was on last.

Last series: Just started Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, at least partially because I’m excited about the Lower Decks crossover ep. Also we finished Discovery.

Last movie: Probably Nimona? ETA: Wait, it was Barbie, whoops.

Currently working on: Fanfic - writing one of my last set of thrice-weekly Owl House prompts. Also technically actual work, but the only question in the Librarian Help inbox looks frustrating. (No, we mostly can’t get your textbooks, please, for the love of Mike, go to the college library.)

Answers About Cat Heaters

forlorn-kumquat

I cannot fathom living in a place cool enough right now for heating pads. Is it nice in the cold? It's almost 90 degrees inside my house and I'm dying, please let me live vicariously through you.

Oh, it’s not particularly -- Chicago’s been between 70F and 90F for most of the summer. I have central air, but I keep the condo around 74-76F which is just barely uncomfortably warm for me (I run the fan without AC a lot). Polk just isn’t truly happy unless she is roughly the temperature of a dry sauna. 

Happily, now that she knows the warmer is The Source Of Heat, she’ll curl up on it and be mercifully quiet even if I don’t turn it on.

knitmeapony

I assume you know this, but in case you do not, there are pet heating pads that are designed to be on for long periods of time at relatively and safely low levels of heat. I got one for my cat last year and he pretty much draped himself across it for 18 hours a day last winter

meninkimono

Did you know you can buy cat beds with pet safe heating pads built into them with a pressure plate thing that only turns it on when the cat is lying on it? I had several for my old blind cat scattered about the house before she passed. Now my younger (mature) cats enjoy the inheritance and pile two cats into one bed in the winter.

Sharing this so other cat owners who might not know can be made aware. I haven’t found a pet-safe one that the girls will actually sleep on; they all tryo improve on the “piece of plastic covered in cheap velour” model and while I commend them for that, a piece of plastic covered in cheap velour is all my spartan babies will accept. I’ve tried a few different pet ones, but the beds are too soft and fluffy (mine won’t touch a “pillow” bed, it has to be felt on cardboard or nothing), and the one designed for dogs (hard plastic covered in fleece) was scary to them. 

Their preferred heating pad (and mine too if we’re being honest) is the heated mattress pad that I put on the bed in the winter, set to low and covered in bed linens. But it traps a lot of body heat just existing on the bed, so I can’t put it on in the summer because I’ll never get cool enough to sleep.

Tagged by @wiewioreczka: 8 tv shows to watch to get to know me.

Just for fun, gonna list in order of when I first watched them:

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (1993–1995)

The Muppet Show (1976–1981)

Star Trek: Deep Space 9 (1993–1999)

Frasier (1993–2004)

Pride and Prejudice (1995–1995. This counts! It was a miniseries!)

Xena: Warrior Princess (1995–2001)

Community (2009–2015)

Cobra Kai (2018–2023/2024)

Kind of interesting to see it arranged autobiographically like this!

Apparently 1993 was the year I was old enough to really understand television (although, honestly, there are some baby shows I remember very fondly that I might have put on here if I had more than 8—MMPR is not a baby show, by the way, it is very sophisticated). Bit of a lull then between 1995 and 2009 when there was No Good New TV, or at least nothing that I would consider so formative to me that you would be able to understand me better by seeing them.

This list definitely does skew heavy on stuff I watched when I was younger and, honestly, I did think for a while that I had kind of calcified and wasn't going to be Transformed by a piece of media (or television anyway) again going forward, but clearly I have gotten past that.

Anyway, this is considerably more navel gazing than was called for!

Tagged by:  @lasenbyphoenix (and i'm stealing your formatting bc i never know how to set these up 😘)

Favorite Colour: black, jewel tones

Last Song: Basia - Time and Tide (had to dig for the real mv - terrible resolution but still so very illustrative of a certain type of late 80s music video with the cute little storytelling conceits)

Last Series: Choco Milk Shake which was cute and very sweet but had a lot of downtime of wistful gazing etc for something so very short

Last Movie: Glass Onion

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: sweet, i guess? lol i am extremely white and cannot deal with spicy-ness at all. savory ... i think as a picky eater i would say no to what my interpretation of "savory" is (more umami type foods?) i think

Currently working on: still inventorying my books - i'm using speech-to-text because hand-typing on a phone = no thank you, but the bronchitis did put a stop to that for quite a while

(highly recommend Libib app if anyone else is doing this bc you can scan a barcode to enter a book, but if, as in the case of my dad's old stuff, the book doesn't *have* a barcode you can use regular google voice typing to input title etc)

also trying to exercise (walk, dance) while the weather is nice here
