No Cops At Pride Just Danny Phantom And The Fenton Anti Transphobe Stick

Getting caught pickpocketing is embarrassing enough. Getting caught because you tripped over your own feet, and seeing the target leave you five bucks out of pity is unexplainably worse.

I just remembered that time I got called cottagecore goth and in gives my autistic ass so much fucking serotonin.

What do boundaries feel like?

It is not my job to fix others.

It is okay if others get angry.

It is okay to say no.

It is not my job to take responsibility for others.

I do not have to anticipate the needs of others.

It is my job to make me happy.

No one has to agree with me.

I have a right to my own feelings.

I am enough.

Shout out to Riddler, who let me off the hook when I apologized for taking so long to answer a riddle because I forgot my ADHD meds.

Just got back from a jail break, so I picked up some more.

So I took some wallets.

Long story short, who wants authentic GCPD police badges and ID’S

My boss asked me why Red Hood stopped by today, and I didn’t know how to explain without basically asking to be arrested, so Red Hood, if you get a card saying “I’m sorry for your loss” don’t question it there’s an edible arrangements gift card in there

Lady’s, gentlemen and others, I have gathered the votes, and here’s this week’s edition of

“Who’s gonna fuck up public transit the most”

Starting at 10$, we have Two-face. He’s been inactive lately, so it makes sense

At 7$, we have, Surprisingly, Riddler. Then again, school started about two weeks ago, so, you know, tis the season

And at 2$, we have Joker. He’s just been put back in Arkham, so we have a good two days to a week before he starts fucking shit up

That’s it for this week everyone, I’ll post the results on Saturday!

If there was ever a time for Gotham to become its own state, ITS FUCKING NOW

Riddler has a twitter account set up so if he dies, it spills all the secrets of people he’s pissed at. Don’t ask me how I know this. It was not a fun experience.

My perfect mashed potatoes

The secret is in the water; literally, it’s IN the water.

See, when you boil potatoes, a lot of special starches and sugars and stuff leeches out into the water. When you drain the water before mashing them, you throw away a lot of good stuff, which is a big part of what makes mashed potatoes “dry” and bland, even when you add large amounts of cream and butter and things.

So don’t throw out any water.

Here’s how you do that:

First, cut your potatoes into smaller cubes than you probably do. (I’ve left the skins on for flavor and also, that’s where a lot of a potato’s nutrients are, like protien and iron and vitamins B and C, just to name a few)

The reason for cutting them smaller (besides avoiding giant peices of skin) is so that there is less space in the pot between each peice for water to fill, so you use less water to cook them. That’s important because you won’t be draining any water, so you can’t afford to have too much water! For the same reason, just barely cover them with water when they go on the stove.

But! Before you do that, put the pot on the stove with some butter, garlic, and seasonings; let the butter start to sizxle just a little then put most of a single layer of potatoes in the pan and let the brown and sear. Turn them, brown them on all sides, get ‘em fairly dark (I forgot to get a pic here because I was worried I’d burn the butter).

Ready? now throw the rest of the potatoes in right on top, and add your water, give them a stir. This way, you’re boiling in some of that lovely fried potato/french fry flavor.

Okay, so, as they cook, you may need to add a little water, not too much! ideally the very highest piece of potato will be poking just above the surface. Now, when your potatoes are really really soft, mash them directly into the water. Just pull them off the stove, leave all the water in, and start mashing. Trust me. At first you’ll think there’s too much water. If you get them mashed and they ARE a little too liquidy, just put ‘em back on the stove. You’ll have to stir often or constantly, but they will steam off additional water without losing any good stuff.

Now add some salt, and taste. Right?! And you haven’t even put in any cream or cheese or anything yet.

Speaking of which, you can use like, a third of the amount of butter or cream or anything, and they will still taste better than usual. So they taste better AND they are higher in nutrients AND lower in fats and salts! That’s a lot of win — enjoy your potatoes!

Fuck Columbus! Indigenous Rights! And happy Thanksgiving!
