Don't cry. Chop about 2lbs of sweet potatoes (3 or 4 depending on size) into 3/4 inch pieces (about 2cm), add garlic powder, salt, onion powder, pepper, thyme, basil, and paprika (preferably Hungarian paprika) to taste (or just a tsp of each if you need a measurement) and about a capful of olive oil. Mix until spices and oil cover all sweet potatoes. Place potatoes on a tinfoil lined baking sheet in a single layer and bake at 450F for 25 minutes (Google says that's 232C) until sweet potatoes are tender and have begun to brown. Okay?

Hey everyone I'm still thinking about the Haywood siblings from nope (2022).
I'm thinking about Jean jacket always being meant to be the first beast Em was going to tame, and how her dad got in the way the first time, but her brother saw she was capable of doing it on her own the second time. I'm thinking about OJ seeing a key being logded into a representation of his home (ghost when he lost his dad, the porch when he got back to Em). I'm thinking about how after their dad got killed by the coin, OJ stared at it without taking it out of the evidence bag, another spectacle, meant to be seen but not touched, meanwhile Em's most important scene has her reaching for fallen coins in hope of making something new. I'm thinking about how OJ's survival was dependant on him standing on the same ground he stood in all his life, unmoving force, while Emerald only lived because she ran as far away as she could towards the cameras and flashes she always wanted. I'm mostly thinking about how much we see Em rely on the idea of fame and being "on top of the mountain" as Ant puts it, but in the final scene, she doesn't look at the press and cameras, she doesn't even look at the picture she took, she's completely focused on OJ.

“Knuckles is stronger than Amy.” “Amy is stronger than Knuckles.” Why are we pitting two bad bitches against each other?

A quirk I’ve noticed in my writing is I often refer to people disrobing as “shucking” off their clothes. Just peeling themselves like a corn on the cob
