So there’s confirmation in The Rise of Skywalker artbook that the 1st Jedipaxis leaks about Finn and Jannah being siblings were true. This means John Boyega & JJ Abrams words of learning more about the Finn’s past and origins weren’t just either of them hyping up nothing.

There seems to be someone at lucasfilm who is making a collective effort to erase Finn’s relationships and story.

So… people can post wherever. But on average, I think writers are going where they get feedback/interaction. It’s not on average readers chasing one individual author.

As a writer, would I like to get $$ for doing what I already do for fun? Sure, I guess.

As a reader, OH FUCK NO, the last thing I want is a bunch of guilt-tripping. I already don’t support the “Leave me X comments or I won’t update” fools. I do not want to be nagged, even by a neutrally-worded link to a ko-fi account.

AO3 is structured like a library. Some things are naturally much more popular, but obscure things are on a relatively even footing. As a reader and as a creator in random small fandoms, I love this.

Adding the commercial element would make AO3 much less relaxing as a reader, and it would make it more of a popularity contest that’s about the flavor of the moment and trying to stay on the top of various stats or most recent in some tag. This is a big negative for me as a reader. I already have to deal with instagram, facebook, etc. trying to mess with my search results instead of showing me everything in order.

I wonder how many other users of AO3 feel like I do: it’s a blessed relief from the culture on other sites.

Wattpad has that popularity contest, stay-on-top-of-the-algorithm culture. It also has massive engagement and potential to get ~discovered~. One could stay there for fandom forever, and some people do. Yet other people keep switching to AO3.

I wonder if AO3′s lack of that garbage is part of why it feels, subconsciously, more comfortable for some people.

Hey PSA that I’ve heard that some people are approaching wild Hux colonies , and I want to make sure u know that these are feral animals and can, in fact, cause harm. You should never approach one if you don’t have to, but if you cannot call the Armitage rescue hotline then you need to be wearing protective gloves, as they can give a pretty nasty bite. Stay safe! 

Some colleagues of mine (sadly now deceased) claim that a wild Hux is easy to capture and extremely docile in captivity. They were just explaining to me what an anticlimactic experience the whole thing had been when the comms went dark. We found their ship later, torn apart, with the specimen missing. 

Rumour in the business has it that this sort of thing happens often, so you won’t find many Interstellar Pest Control officers willing to go near them any more. Useless creatures, but very bad luck.

British Food, Explained For Americans

wtf, [profile] buzzfeeduk

My best friend: “Sounds about right.”

I knew all of this… and it still makes my head hurt…

Fucking English

the biggest lie here is the claim that black pudding tastes good. It just tastes like sad bread.

I currently have “The worst pies in london” stuck in my head after reading this…

Also

My parents adored black pudding so I have tried it and I am…not a fan…of the examples of it that I have tasted O.O;

My girlfriends reaction to it was “Why would you Cook Something Made Of Blood that is what vampires do”

Idk i mean blood sausage is pretty dope

Also yall should be ashamed of your abuse of the word “pudding”

I don’t think I’ve ever tried blood sausage…

And ye this is the most inaccurate use of the word pudding I have ever seen

And don’t forget Steak and Kidney pudding!

Pudding comes from Boudin (a kind of sausage) so savoury puddings make more sense than sweet ones. However Yorkshire Pudding is more a sort of fluffy pancake which can be eaten savoury (with meat or onion gravy) or sweet (with jam or honey).

Don’t forget pease pudding:

Pease Pudding Hot

A Playground and Skipping Rhyme

Pease pudding hot
Pease pudding cold
Pease pudding in the pot
Nine days old

Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old

And bag-pudding (Christmas pudding is the usual surviving form).

When Good King Arthur Ruled This Land

A Nursery Rhyme

When good King Arthur ruled this land,
He was a goodly king;
He stole three pecks of barley-meal
To make a bag-pudding.

A bag-pudding the king did make,
And stuffed it well with plums;
And in it put great lumps of fat,
As big as my two thumbs.

The king and queen did eat thereof,
And noblemen beside;
And what they could not eat that night,
The queen next morning fried.

This book includes:

Black pudding, white pudding, red pudding, bread pudding, Eve’s pudding, Derbyshire Bakewell pudding, sticky toffee pudding, bread-and-butter pudding, Norfolk Plough pudding, suet pudding, Monmouth pudding, steak-and-kidney pudding, bacon pudding, Queen of Pudding, rice pudding, Cabinet pudding, figgy pudding, carrot pudding, cannonball pudding, The Queen’s Own Staffordshire Yeomanry pudding, Half-Pay pudding, Suffolk onion pudding…

Read or write the word “pudding” often enough and it stops making sense.

So..

Almond Fraze, Apricot Brown Betty, Apple Bolster, Tipsy Squire, Sussex Pond, Figgy Obbin, Kentish Well, Treacle Dowdy, Apple Hog, Gloucestershire White-pot, Quire of Paper, Plum Duff, Shropshire Apple Cobs, Gooseberry Tansy, Lowestoft Buttons, Westmorland Three-Deckers, Whim-Wham, Devonshire Apple Drugget, Great Western Victory Roll, Swanley Harvest Custard, Uncle Toby, Poor Knights of Windsor, Gooseberry Amber, Toad in the Hole, Bedfordshire Clanger, Rotherfield Sweet-tooth, Cumberland Nickles, Sussex Bailiff’s Bliss, Damson Cheese, Buckinghamshire Cherry Bumpers, Bucks Bacon Badger, Jam Roly-poly, Dead Man’s Leg, Spotted Dog, Drowned Baby, Spotted Dick.

“School” is another word that if read or written often enough stops making sense, so I’m fairly sure there’s a dish somewhere called School Pudding.

Next, when is a pie not a tart?

When it’s a Maid of Honour, but not always…

SOLAR PUNK! I think it’s funny how this is a “new” thing even though I feel like it’s been part of the tumblr universe for the last decade(at least). But this was a really neat pod cast to listen to about it and some of the writers and artists that are trying to make it into an established genre.

The US city preparing itself for the collapse of capitalism:

hater-of-terfs:

My new neighbors – artists, musicians, shop owners, builders, gallerists, restaurateurs – treated me like family. Our community was diverse in age, but we all had our independent creative pursuits in a place with scant economic opportunity otherwise. Thus, many of us shared the same problem: a lack of access to healthcare. America’s healthcare system has long been in shambles: then and still today, where single-payer care was available, premiums and deductibles were astronomical. Luckily, among our friends were doctors and dentists who valued the work we did as equal to their own. So, we came up with a plan. Drawing on the age-old system of barter, we figured out a way to trade – the art of medicine for the medicine of art.

In October 2010, we launched our first weekend-long festival of street art, live music and health-related events. We called it O+, like the blood type. The general public attended by donation. Licensed health professionals volunteered to staff our on-site pop-up clinic. Over the years, thousands of participating artists, like Lucius, Spiritualized, and locals who played with the B-52’s and David Bowie, have received medical, dental and wellness services worth hundreds – and in some cases thousands – of dollars. Some artists say the care they received even saved them.

“The way you change a system nationally is you do thousands of local things, and eventually the system evolves,” says O+ executive director Joe Concra, whose building I lived in when we first got O+ off the ground, and who volunteered full-time for years until grants and donors made it possible to pay modest salaries to three full-time and seven part-time employees. “Every time I walk into the clinic, I think: ‘Oh yeah, it is possible to build a new system.’ I refuse to believe we can’t. So, we keep doing it.”

O+ may have brought the carnival. Now, it’s far from alone in the revolution: Kingston’s anti-capitalist, anti-establishment healthcare network is just one example of a model that could supplant corporate America. Locals have launched a non-commercial radio station, Radio Kingston WKNY, with widely representative, hyper-local programming that broadcasts via power generators if the grid goes dark. A regional micro-currency called the Hudson Valley Current now exists to, according to co-founder David McCarthy, “create an ecosystem that includes everyone”.

Agricultural initiatives like Farm Hub work toward equitable, resilient food systems. A network of bike trails quietly connects local towns to local farms (for the day when there is no more gas for our cars). And organizations like RiseUp Kingston, Kingston Citizens, Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson, and the Kingston Tenants Union facilitate civic engagement, combat displacement, and advocate for policies to address an increasingly dire housing shortage.

From my vantage in the deep south, it looks as though, one mission at a time, Kingston is piecing together the infrastructure for a self-sufficient community – one that wants to survive the possibly impending systemic collapse we nervously joke about over beers at Rough Draft.

…It was when Armitage Hux died that he was born again…

Before I’m dead | A Vampire!Hux story.

Summary: Armitage Hux truly hated feeling afraid and things that instilled fear on him. His father, the Force and its users topped the awfully short list. And he’d always resented himself for not being able to wield such a great a power. But now… he’d nothing else to fear. Nothing else to resent. For now, he’d a power as great as the Force running through his veins. [May 2020: The Force - Challenge] [SciFi Competitions and Challenges] [SciFi-Fantasy] [Star Wars]

I’m sorry, but it’s not an update for my other stories. But it’s something, right? The ScienceFiction profile on Wattpad promoted a Challenge mixing both Science Fiction (it could be in the SW Universe) and Fantasy, so I was like why not mix Vampires and Star Wars? And since it could be a fanfiction, why not write something with our favorite General? So I hope you like it. It can be read on my Wattpad account. And it may be related to Bloodbound, but can also be read as a standalone. 

I only posted there a few old stories and I didn’t promote anything so far, so I’d be delighted if you gave me some votes on this story xD

Ah, the “cover” for this story is from Ariana (known as ATO on INPRNT). You can see the original art here.

hey guys unpopular opinion but you’re not a bad person if you don’t care about every bad thing happening in the world all the time, or if you do care but you’re not constantly reblogging posts spreading awareness and information

it’s okay if you’re just on tumblr to have fun and reblog things you like or that make you happy.

humans aren’t made to process trauma and suffering on a worldwide scale without any breaks whatsoever & the internet has created an unprecedented access to bad news so please never feel guilty for scrolling past it because you can’t process it! and you’re not doing anything wrong & there’s no need to feel guilty

There’s loads of analysis out there about the whole Fall/Garden of Eden vibes that Crowley’s got going on with his plant collection. And that’s great, totally agree that there’s a lot of interpretation to be done there.

But nobody seems to talk about the fact that Aziraphale, Guardian of the Eastern Gate, who was “technically on apple tree duty”, has set himself up in a walled off space marked with the cardinal directions (you can see them in some shots, on the dome), filled it with precious sources of knowledge and then set things up so that humans will periodically come in to try to take those sources of knowledge away, so that he can keep them from doing that.

I’m just saying, Crowley might not be the only one trying to recreate something.

So I finally got up the courage to put out my Little Free Boxes in my apartment building a few days ago. I put them in the common laundry room because I figured people would be more likely to have sanitizer/wipes on them when they go to do laundry than when they’re popping in and out of the front lobby.

I finally went down to do laundry and to check on them and…

…people are using them! Not just taking what they need, but also leaving things in them for others! Food, books, hygiene supplies, even some canned cat food.

I’m so thrilled people are using them! <3

recoil-operated:

garlic blossoms (allium) balls of tiny flowers, may be white to deep purple. literally just the flowering head of the garlic you use in food. it tastes like garlic. but colorful.

elderflower, the blossom of the elderberry bush. can be battered and fried. excellent with elderberry syrup or honey. tastes fruity with a tiny hint of anise. also good in teas and sweets.

Calendula, also known as pot marigold. (please, verify you’re using pot marigold, not regular marigold. calendula is actually a daisy.) tastes similarish to bell pepper, sans crunch. leaves are also edible.
should be grown with broadleaf plantain:

as a poultices of calendula and plantain can be used to rapidly heal small cuts and scrapes, and are also helpful for other dermatitis. don’t use it on deep wounds though, as it can and will cause the surface skin to heal before the underlying tissues. all of broadleaf plantain is also edible. if bitter.

Nasturtium ranges in color from bright yellow to deep red. it’s peppery and very slightly spicy.

theatsymbol:

I have not but im going to now

Add pics of the tasty flowers plz

recoil-operated:

Spoken like a woman who’s never used garlic blossom in a stirfry, had an elderflower fritter or used Calendula and Nasturtium in a salad.

theatsymbol:

Its such a rip off that flowers don’t taste good

Personally I love squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta and fried in a pan. Not ideal if you also want to harvest squash, though.

Crystallized rose petals taste how roses smell - make a syrup or rosewater with the flowers and then add to all sorts of cakes. Likewise lavender flowers.

Borage flowers taste like cucumber.

Dandelion flowers are edible (take the green bit off if you want them sweetish, or leave it on if you like your salad leaves to have a bitter edge.)

Sitting up, Hux reaches out a hand and brushes Ben’s arm. “Hey?”

Ben sucks in a deep breath, blank gaze immediately clearing as he focuses on the hand touching him. Quickly, he scans the room, takes in the window and the streaming rain, and finally Hux.

The idea that was sold to us of “love is effortless and you should communicate telepathically with your partner” is false. Love is awkward as hell. It’s A LOT of straight up talking and realization of your self - your own needs. It’s important to make those needs heard. Do not deny yourself full love

Astronauts Could Use a Surprising Ingredient to Build Moon Bases – Their Own Urine

The modules that the major space agencies plan to erect on the Moon could incorporate an element contributed by the human colonizers themselves: the urea in their pee. European researchers have found that it could be used as a plasticizer in the concrete of the structures.

NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and its Chinese counterpart plan to build moon bases in the coming decades, as part of a broader space exploration plan that will take humans to more distant destinations, such as Mars.

However, the colonization of the Moon poses problems such as high levels of radiation, extreme temperatures, meteorite bombardment and a logistical issue: how to get construction materials there, although it may not be necessary.

Transporting about 0.45 kg from the Earth to space costs about $10,000, which means that building a complete module on our satellite in this way would be very expensive. This is the reason why space agencies are thinking of using raw materials from the moon’s surface, or even those that astronauts themselves can provide, such as their urine.
