Mastodawn

As a budget thing, I've taken to buying family packs of chicken leg quarters, breaking them down into drumsticks and thighs, removing the skin, and then packaging everything up in individual servings for the freezer (and freezing the chicken skin too for rendering when I have enough to make it worthwhile). I was in the midst of doing all this at my kitchen table when suddenly I realized I had an audience - my cat. I've done this prep routine any number of times without Mr Swayze showing any interest, but there he was tonight, pacing about my little kitchen around and behind me, definitely fascinated by all this raw carnivore-food aroma his human was releasing. It wasn't his full-on begging mode as he didn't vocalize (oh he's got a whole vocabulary of mrrts and meows, believe me!) but his level of interest was definitely clear. Fortunately the old gent is a little too arthritic to go table-diving, but I did hasten to get everything sealed up and stowed away safely before things got out of hand. 😹

#omnivore, so you •can• eat everything? why not eat a #vegan roll instead?

or #omnivore so you •must• eat everything? well, then you must be eating dogs and rats and feces too, surely?

#omnivore is a choice, like racism is. you can choose to not harm pigs, just like racists can choose not to be racist.

I bit the bullet and paid for #readwise when #omnivore (kinda unceremoniously) shut down, and I’d probably ditch it if another FOSS thing popped up, but ngl I have found it useful enough that I didn’t regret seeing the renewal charge come through. Faint praise, but not rly damning.

Impromptu supper with purple potatoes, Jerusalem artichoke, Thai eggplant, etc. — the usual. Really tasty.
