oh right, technically i sell t-shirts

i forgot about that

#holidays are coming up and it would make a terrible gift #that's the main selling point #anyways these exist and can be exchanged for legal tender #the cost is the listed price + the emotional expense of knowing that i am judging u #bc i am. i am judging u #why would u want this. why would u exchange currency for this #there are so many other things you could exchnage currency for instead #a grocery store shrimp platter for instance #with the nauseatingly red cocktail sauce that is SO much better than a t shirt any time #hmm chicken picatta at a local Italian Eatery perchance? i am. a big fan of anything picatta #oh oh i know! 3.6 POUNDS OF FRESH OKRA #FOR THE COST OF THIS FRIVOLOUS T SHIRT U COULD INSTEAD PURCHASE 3.6 POUNDS OF FRESH DELICIOUS OKRA #and then --hold on i have a recipe--and then what u do is #so it is basically sacrilege to suggest this but what u do is u skip the cornmeal entirely #my southern ancestors are shaking a wooden spoon at me right now but LISTEN. u skip. the gotdang. cornmeal #instead: wash chop and soak (for 10 min) the okra in a mixture of 1 egg to tblsp water #then coat in flour #THATS IT JUST FLOUR #No cornmeal. i am betraying my heritage rn but I'm RIGHT #coat in flour sprinkle liberally in S&P and FRY that suck in veg oil high heat #until crispy & brown & u hear your arteries clenching in apprehension #so. so yeah #that's what u should do instead of buying this shirt go fry the shit out of some okra #(but buy local and young & tender if u can bc the grocery store is full of old-and-therefore-super-stiff specimens #pro tip (aka grandma tip): if u can't chop okra smoothly with your normal cutting knife then it's too old and tough. #...i mean u probably CAN still fry the shit out of it I've certainly done that before it's just much less delicious #ANYWAY. anyway ANYWAY. shirt. okra. farmers market. that reminds me of a post i made back when we first started selling these dang shorts #shirts. shorts shorts. oh shit i should make a crop top option. #i. i don't Know How to make a crop top option #HUH . . . i need to lie down now and contemplate the constant and irreconcilable limitations of the human experience good night

I've got to say, I've been doing a lot of research on Italy recently and I literally can't stop thinking about your boys. I'm over here trying to read about whatever Crusade and my brain is just a constant loop of "isn't Machete a cardinal? And Vasco was from like Verona, right?" Not super conducive to learning anything, but I am enjoying myself and thought you should know.

Thank you for your lovely art and for sharing your darlings <33

That's adorable ;^; But also sorry the lads keep distracting you, hah.

I'd argue that getting invested in your characters and their stories and having to do background research for them is actually a great way to accumulate knowledge about various subjects. Often it's stuff you probably would never get around to reading about otherwise. I'm not saying it's always information you'll have many practical uses for, but learning about new things is fun and it's beneficial to you and your brain in the long run.

Vasco is from Florence actually! It's usually considered to be the birthplace and the main hub of the entire Renaissance movement. Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli and Michelangelo lived and influenced there and Dante Alighieri (author of The Divine Comedy/Dante's Inferno) was florentine as well, albeit he lived several centuries prior to them.

#Verona is a stunning historically significant city as well but it's a bit too far from Rome in this case #nowadays the fastest train ride from Rome to Florence takes around a hour and a half it looks like #travelling was slow and took a lot of effort in the 1500's but it was still a manageable distance #answered #nnnnnnnothingtoseehere #for real though the stuff you end up googling when you try to piece together a character is pretty funny #like #the evolution of breeches #history of bathtubs #history of sofas #timeline of peach cultivation #the cost of gyrfalcons #winemaking techniques #ear infections on dogs #how Italian surnames are formatted #the rise and fall of the Medici dynasty #are there any beaches near Venice #can you survive being stabbed in the liver #can you survive a hemlock poisoning #can you survive severe malaria

there was a dude who wanted an HOURRRRRRR video call. boobs video call. one HOUR.

#ONE. HOUR. #and he wanted to do it for 1k #i'm like okay if i'm doing some math here rn. if we're doing the Best Buy price matching. #based on a different dude giving me a Minute Based offer your hour-long call would actually cost 30k #so like sure I'll do it. for 30 fucking thousand dollars #give me my year's wage and i'll do it. #italians......... swear to god #sergle.txt

In just a minute and a half, Nico Rosberg gives some interesting insights on battling your teammate, facing the press afterwards, qualifying, and on Charles. Should be mandatory to watch for anyone who's been attacking Charles on social media the past couple of days.

#i know people have been giving nico hell about how he was surprised charles was not upset after the race #but i think this explains a bit more why he was surprised #charles battled unfairly according to many online #and here is nico not only saying carlos ran charles off the track #but also twice had the advantage in quali to put him on pole #and still charles was being genuinely nice about it #even though it cost him a Monza podium #i was thinking about if they had been switched in quali with carlos out front & charles getting a tow #charles would've been on pole #no matter what #charles is the king of monza in my heart #charles leclerc #italian gp 2023 #nico rosberg #formula 1 #f1

"Okay so this is 4.7k words long, I usually can read at least 40/50k words of fanfiction a day so I should be able to..."

#steel rambles #I can't do this anymore chat #I am very tired and I don't remember a thing #these last 2 months have already radicalized me #the next two are gonna determine the beginning of my villain era because what the fuck Italian school system #what the actual fuck #I am disappointed because i feel like I'm doing too little but burnt out because I'm also doing too much #but also the wrong things #and I have to see where I'm gonna live/do in September while I'm hitting my head against *checks noted* ah yes russian revolution #anyway since getting an ao3 account I've started measuring things in word count. which is hell. #it's like measuring the worth of things over 10 cents goleadors but now they cost 20 cents and my system has been broken by inflation #that's silly tho #I'm gonna pull another allnighter #i wouldn't sleep either way

according to this article,

A shortage of olive oil, sometimes referred to as “liquid gold,” has driven prices to record highs, fueled a crime surge and pushed the industry into crisis mode.

market analysts are concerned with price volatility; that sudden price spikes will come as we head away from harvesting season (and the supply continues to shrink).

The main culprit is an unstable growing climate – unprecedented heat, less rain, overall drought.

we’re seeing really interesting economic effects from this! dwindling stockpiles are getting stolen, farmers are delaying sales partly due to expectations of increased price demand, and major enterprises are struggling to panic-buy huge quantities of goods (not only to fulfill their contracts and export commitments, but also to hoard inventory that might not be around next year.)

haha!

#climate crisis = global supply issue #this is going to be a common theme with pretty much all in-demand harvests #coffee included—demand is predicted to exceed supply + resulting market volatility from now to 2025 will be phenomenal #italian fearmongering #i did wonder why the olive oil sitting in my cabinet cost me $25-50 last week

Suomen Mestari time!!!!

After finishing the A1 section in my italian/finnish learning book, before continuing into A2 territory, I wanted to consolidate my basics and knowledge and decided to get Suomen Mestari.

I'm really enjoy the book so far, it's very well structured, and I think I'm a bit of a freak because I noticed I REAALLY enjoy doing exercises on the book haha. It's just so fun.

I'm feeling very good about my learning journey, and I'm looking forward to finish this book and continue unto A2 territory. I'm also taking private speaking lessons on iTalki, which have been going well, my teacher is super sweet and encouraging and I'm really hoping to break my shyness and start speaking more :)

#also: didn't buy the book but went and printed a copy cause i already bought the italian/finnish learning book and that was already pretty #expensieve #and adding the cost of private lessons/everything i bought... im gonna save money where i can okay? haha don't kill me. i don't have #infinite money for what is a hobby right now #mine #langblr #suomitumblr #learning finnish #finnish #language learning #suomitumppu

"Metal fans scare me"

Well yeah Melanie, you walked straight into the mosh pit.

Seriously, metal crowds are wild, but they also are the best.

Got to see an awesome band yesterday, and the one thing that hyped us up lore than any other song were the three plush chickens we were throwing around and up to the balconies.

The band you ask? Dragon Force.

They still got interrupted in their INTRODUCTION by a chant for the chickens.

#also don't me be #Listen to what bands come before the actual concerts #or risk it #Sometimes you end up with boring bands #sometimes it ends with italian power metal??? in a low cost imperaonation of the Village People and one dressed as an owl having #some animal tore the chicken's leg apart tho #twice #power metal #Dragon Force #metal concert
