I’m self catering my daughter’s graduation party this weekend. I’m making a a boat load of Empenadas, a chicken tinga and a corn and black bean, I’m making a Greek orzo pasta salad, and a Tuscan bruschetta. I have 90 Empenadas to go
@nikkuneko my true weakness, I suck at dough making. I buy the disks at the market up the street. I have neither the time nor the patience to make the dough from scratch. as much as I hate GOYA, its a cheap alternative
@cottenwess i feel you! it is a massive time suck to do it by hand. good to know there is a ready-made alternative out there!
@nikkuneko This will make 32, and it takes a while. I just did it a month or so ago, but it turned out great!
4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter (unsalted), melted
4 egg yolks

In their "Sunday Best," Vietnamese women await the weekly audience with Pope Leo XIV. Their hats are unusual, to me, I have never seen this style, large, flying saucer shaped with bright, primary colors, to match the colors in the more traditional dresses, they are wearing so well. Their loveliness is the reason for this post.

I love this. 😆
@jpoulos me too! Haha
Literally me this past weekend (once I acclimatized to Lake Huron's chilly waters)
I misread the trunks in the top image as a censor bar and was confused.
there was a reservoir (Millerton) that sometime had bermuda grass about three feet under the surface. one could duck down, grab fistfulls of gras and hand run very fast long distances, and pop up like a coot.

Photo shows an image of a medium small brown short-haired dog with her ears flapping in the wind as she gets all the smells on her way to the Rainbow Bridge.
We gave her the best life we possibly could. The unfairness of living longer than our companions is not lost upon me this day.
Peace and sweet memories to you.
<3
The hurt of having to make that decision never fully goes away, but if you did it right -- and it sounds like you did -- the joy and love of your life with her will always chase away the sad moments. Godspeed, best girl.
Good good girl.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Vibes and hugs. This part always sucks.
Thank you for taking such good care of her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oof. Not fair at all. Take care.
🖤🖤🖤
Aw, geez. It’s not easy. Wishing you solace.
Thanks to you all. There will be many firsts in the coming days. This morning was like that.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Huge hugs to you and your wife. What a good girl. No doubt she loved you, loved her life with you, and loved her life. We don't know deserve dogs, so it seems like the tradeoff is to do as right by them at the end as we can even though it's so hard. I know the ache is terrible, the empty spaces are terrible, and the quiet is terrible. We just want them back. May you find some peace in the upcoming days as you adjust and find solace in your memories.
much love to you and your family as this lucky girl passes on. may the joy of her spirit stay with you always.
We offer you hugs in meat treats on this day
My son and I wonder if we seem god-like to them, because we don't age much in their lifetimes. It is horrible for us that they pass so quickly; but wonderful for them that we do not.
Thanks again to all. Yesterday was tough. I was not ready for the hole she left in our lives. But having been to the bottom, I can see the way forward.

I love this. We had a similar thing happen with little yellow ducks, but dozens of them. Plus we identified the perpetrator quickly.
If there is one thing being a bus driver taught me, it is that, with so much weight and metal around you, you have the ability to be a goddamned vigilante. The choice has to be made, day in, day out, whether the distribution shall be whimsy or revenge.

i mean, where IS goldbug, doctor?
Not a single car shaped like an apple in sight!
To be fair: The pig butchers selling sausages to pig mom's was kind of a hint.
My kids adore What Do People Do All Day and much of is delightfully innocent and pro-worker. But there's also plenty I go out of my way to skip, "Mother's Work Is Never Done," with its rigid gender roles, and the police one are always a pass for me.

photoshopped image: the infamous shot from "twin peaks" in which the villainous entity BOB creeps over the couch in the living room toward the camera, except it has been overlaid with fake titles and prices in the style of an IKEA catalog. in white text, the overlays include "GLÖDLAMPA lamp $15", "KONSTFULL vase $4.30", "BEKVÄM couch $315", and "KAFFE table $119", as well as the blue and yellow IKEA logo in the bottom right corner.

Photo of a speckled shape, roughly hexagonal, in the upper atmosphere of Saturn

Man the universe is fuckin bananas
"They," was gonna nuke that area, and maybe decided against it. Who knows?

"A peculiarly shaped wind pattern has been whipping around Saturn's north polar region for decades. First discovered by NASA’s Voyager mission in the early 1980s, the planet’s six-sided jet stream, known as the hexagon, is somewhat of an oddity. Diverse bands of winds and rotating vortices circle the eye of a hurricane-like storm centered on the north pole. Moving at more than 200 mph, the jet stream is several thousand miles long and could encompass Earth twice. In 2012, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured the most detailed and comprehensive images of the speedy system yet. Watch the video to see Saturn's jet stream in motion."

"The hexagon measures about 15,000 miles across, or more than five times the width of Antarctica."

A view of Mars as a slim crescent

square phone pic: a closeup of a light blue shirt and royal blue hoodie, folded so their logos are adjacent. the light blue shirt has the cursive MLKSHK logo, and the royal blue has the MLTSHP deelux logo.
happy anniversary, you weirdos!
on this day in 2017, we went live thanks to the time and energy of so many wonderful people.
nine insane-assed years later, MLTSHP is still a source of daily joy, support, and discovery for me. i have art, music, and goodies from MLTSHPers all over my home. i’ve shared meals and adventures with many of y’all; i’ve commiserated and goofed with even more of y’all. here’s to many more.
(BTW, i happened to wear my lovely ol’ MLKSHK shirt to the farmers market this morning. tried to get a selfie in it for my celebratory post, but i was not lookin’ particularly sassy. instead you get an even older MLKSHK shirt and said beloved hoodie sans me. the hoodie and a bunch of other great stuff designed by heyitsal is still up in the webstore:

I think I still have the black on black shirt
I know I still have the black on black shirt
We should try to organize something for the 10th anniversary, maybe a global MLTUP day?
@wjcstp a great idea; i would love that!
Out of curiosity, when did MLKSHK launch?
@BennyTheIcepick i can’t remember an exact date, but i remember it being in beta late 2010 or early 2011? i think it did publicly launch in 2011
I know I discovered it at my first job, which I left in 2012, so your timeline fits with that.
@nikkineko @BennyTheIcepick I was going to say it was already a habit of mine when I started a job in 2011. I decided to check!

i knew it was still in beta when i started posting (jan. 2011) and that other pilers had been using it for image embeds for a few months before i asked for an invite, but could not pin down better dates. i appreciate that framework!

Thanks to all who make this work. This place has been one of my internet homes since early mlkshk.
15 years?? Wow
Plate of shrimp: I grabbed my old mlkshk stealth logo tee to wear today for the first time in at least a couple of years.
BTW, I love y'all, but we need a member drive.
BTW, I love y'all, but we need a member drive.
@foist we've talked about membership drives in the past but it's never really solidified into anything. it would be good to get the conversation going again, see if we can capitalize on the growing demand for "unenshittified" web communities.
I also still have that black on black shirt. it's wonderful.
@foist Someone needs to build the code for a "have an account, give an account" widget. I think Al has the designs ready to go. I'd love to do that. Also let's be clear: we are fine with money. A member drive would just be to get new folks in here, share the love etc. <3 everyone.
Keep Circulating the Tapes
I always get the reminder on this day as my scoops renew
Hells yeh!
Happy MLTSHP/MLKSHK Day. Thank you for nearly ten years of happiness in this community that is so appreciated.

I just re-scooped after I canceled my membership in a bout of cost cutting measures somewhere during last year. Mea culpa.

the dog (L) told us he loves lakes so much that we needed to get a tandem kayak, so we did. Used, with all the gear, at a great price.
She is not named yet - we’re waiting for her to name herself while afloat.

A dark, hunched figure holds a white mask over its face. The mask has a strange smile and does not have any eye holes. The figure itself has smooth dark gray skin that wrinkles around its shoulders, as though it is wearing a suit of some sort. It is standing against a light gray background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A storefront window with white vinyl signage reading Harmonies Pizza & Ice Cream.
My friend Will, late of Handsome Pizza on Killingsworth, has against all odds opened a new parlor in St Johns, PDX.
He was kind enough to ask me to design a logo for the new spot and managed to get vinyl installed in time for last week's friends & family opening.

Will's a friend of mine as well! Love the logo design, great work on that. Happy to have access to his pizza again, even if the new location is quite a hike for me out in Gresham.
came back to say that this photo has the vibe of fred herzog shot. nice.
and nice work on the logo! it looks great!
@WikiAdam Small world! Though not small enough to make it easy to get to St Johns, I guess.
@nikkuneko That's very kind! I was planning on getting some photos for my portfolio, I feel like I got lucky that some folks had just sat down.

A screenshot of a poem, entitled "Sputtering Flame," in simple white text on a dark background.
The poem reads:
Your wondrous spark set me alight.
A candle, burning against the darkness
Never so alive, never so full of warmth and purpose:
To illuminate your every move
And keep the monsters at bay.
You would dance in my light,
And with every flicker of my flame, the playful shadows would dance along with you.
You inspired me to burn brighter
Though neither of us seemed to notice
The wax melting
Dripping
Pooling on the tablecloth
In globs of color
Because, misshapen though I became,
I felt the warm joy of being able to watch you thrive.
As I began to sputter, rather than tend my flame
You grew upset at the fading light
And the long unflattering shadows it cast upon you.
The wax gathered at your feet now
Cold, hardened, no longer malleable
And you grew cold as well.
Reduced to ash and ember
Still I smolder
Though I can no longer brighten your smile,
No longer warm your skin,
No longer keep your demons from you.

Pardon my angst and brooding. Going through a difficult breakup after a long and agonizing decline. Over the past few months as the relationship began to circle the drain I started writing poems to process my feelings.
After yet another sleepless night, I penned this one around 4am this morning.

Ach. I have been there. :-(
Hang in there. It's a dark tunnel. But I see light glimmering.

('Ach' is related to jiddisch 'oy'. Perhaps scottish 'och'. Same guttural g. Interjection of empathy. So not like 'argh')
Nice poem, and metaphor. Best to you, and the new day's light.
peace and serenity, brother.
always wanted to try making some at home. would love to know what your dough recipe looks like.
