Wandering Adventure Party

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net good morning

@Fireweed@famichiki.jp I just didn’t want to have to chase him out. I should have closed the door behind me.

Almost all the neighbor cats are extremely skittish. He’s the first one to approach me.

@mikoto@urusai.social sounds like you have a good time ahead any way you go.

Neighbor cat came up to say hi at the door!…

But he got really mad and hissed at me when I stopped him from sneaking inside of my home, then he ran off. ​​ oh well. At least I got to pet him a little.

@fridgelite@ck.catwithaclari.net I am sure to you will. I believe in you.

@niko@gts.niko.lgbt

Zawinski's Law, but with TCP/IP stacks instead of email…

@fujiwara@sakurajima.moe @Bard@transfem.social Com’on, it’ll be fun!… (for me)

@fujiwara@sakurajima.moe @Bard@transfem.social 8 years is a long time to work at one place. Are you even sure they are still there?

@HopelessDemigod@mstdn.social in fairness I think the long term health and disposition of the people who buy into his shit would be heartily improved by having them insert a pineapple up their asses. ​​

@blush@urusai.social welcome back. I hope you are recharged and feeling well. ​​

And a reminder; I told them that getting this cat was a bad idea in the first place. ​​

Time for me to be mad.

A while ago I helped a family member pay a vet bill on their kids cat. Now they want me to adopt the cat because he might need more, and he’s “a lot”

I do want another cat, but if I do that he won’t be my cat; he’ll be the kids cat who just lives at my place. I do not want to play custody bullshit with a cat. I’m kinda mad that they also want to dump their cat problems on me.

@yon@sakurajima.moe I split them before I put them in and then give them a shake every other day for a ~year, but yeah pretty much!

It's extremely simple. I am surprised more home bakers do not do it. Granted, as mentioned it does require quite a bit of forethought and an initial investment of vanilla beans and alcohol (though there is no reason to go expensive on the booze. I went midgrade).

Just be careful about it. I can tell you one year I was extremely mad when a full jar of nearly done extract I had got knocked off into the sink and shattered ​​

Two pints of vanilla extract seems like a lot (and is), but the stuff takes literally 6-12 months to make and if you make too much, it's pretty easy to give away given how much better it is than most of the store stuff.

It's best to make a lot of it since it's not like you can just have some ready over the weekend. ​​

I was running "low" on vanilla extract (about half a cup) after I gave most of it away. So I've started two new batches.

Last time I did my standard bourbon base. That's my personal favorite, but its not for everyone. This time someone wanted a standard vodka, so I started a pint of that. But I wanted something different, so I'm making a batch in a pint of white rum as well.

@Elizafox@social.treehouse.systems Valentine’s Day is a day of (for nonromantic reasons) tragedy for me. I would much rather it just be your birthday.

So happy birthday. ​​ I hope you manage to have a good day celebrating.

@kichae@wanderingadventure.party That's usually what happens when I get in the mood. But I fear the financials are not sustainable for that many domains.

I want to blog again, but finding a good domain is always a pain... ​​

@fujiwara@sakurajima.moe as others mention; many people take existence of different position as a criticism of their own, because they assume the same path, values, and context, so if you made a different choice, you must be saying they were “wrong”.

That said; I think it’s fine to talk about what you like and dislike and why, and if you do so in a public space, you should have some expectation of people entering into discourse, even to assert this own position especially if you try to make a point under a objective banner. I wish one side would remember the context of subjectivity and differing values, and I wish another side would remember that the audience of a public forum are active participants who are not obligated to silence or agreement.
