Back in the day there was a pink blob that sucks its enemies into itself and EVERYONE LOVED IT

Don't get mad at people who invested a lot in the Bernie campaign. Don't "I told you so", don't insinuate they were stupid for believing in bourgeois electoralism. Try to be kind.

I made corn chips!

They're actually super easy, too. Just cornmeal (the same kind you'd use for polenta), a little salt, and enough water to get a gooey cookie dough consistency. Mix into a paste, take a few spoonfuls and flatten them, then just fry them till they're golden and crunchy. I seasoned mine with sea salt and hot chilli powder 🌶️

Because we all like snacks, and sometimes it's easier to pick up a bag of cornmeal than multiple bags of corn chips!

“Hey Doc, feeling kinda sad”

Doctor, in a low growl, “Do you long to feel the loam of the forest on your footpads?”

“yes”

Doctor, baring teeth “Do you crave the camaraderie that can only come from stalking prey as a pack?”

“YES”

“Then ask your Doctor if Lycanthropy™️ is right for you”

“You are my doctor”

“Lycanthropy™️ is right for you”
