Visual effects crews at Marvel Studios today filed for a unionization election with the National Labor Relations Board, with a supermajority of Marvel’s more than 50-worker crew having signed authorization cards saying they want to be represented by IATSE.
“We are witnessing an unprecedented wave of solidarity that’s breaking down old barriers in the industry and proving we’re all in this fight together,” said IATSE President Matthew Loeb. “That doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Entertainment workers everywhere are sticking up for each other’s rights, that’s what our movement is all about. I congratulate these workers on taking this important step and using their collective voice.”
According to the union, “this marks the first time VFX professionals have joined together to demand the same rights and protections as their unionized colleagues in the film industry.”
kids were roleplaying with minecraft figurines and one of them had their figure go up to the other and say “i’m in love with you” and the other one replied “sword slash to the chest. and you’re on fire”
something i’ve noticed. people seem to think the most nature-y nature is forests. so forests are always prioritized for conservation, and planting trees is synonymous with ecological activism. my state was largely prairies and wetlands before colonization. those ecosystems are important too. trees aren’t the end-all be-all of environmentalism. plant native grasses. protect your wetlands.
deserts also!!! it sucks so bad that people think of desert as ‘wasteland’ just because it’s not suited for western european style ag development, they’re beautiful and delicate and valuable ecosystems and, i think it’s good to point out that humans have been living willingly in them for thousands of years
Banana bread is one of my favorite ways to make use of too-ripe bananas, and I’ve had a go-to recipe for some time now that’s done the trick for us quite happily. So I decided my first recipe from Dragon Age, World of Thedas vol.2 should be to see if the Raider Queen can put her banana bread where her mouth is.
The recipe I’m used to uses white sugar instead of brown, no molasses, and just less of everything all around. It’s good, but we demolish it pretty quickly.
For the Queen’s, you’ll need:
3-4 bananas (there’s a lack of both Par Vollen and Rivaini bananas around this area, so we’re using what was on hand)
2 eggs
½ cup melted butter
2 cups flour
1/3 cup molasses
¾ cup brown sugar
3 heaping teaspoons of baking powder
½ teaspoon of salt
Heat your oven to 350 F, and start measuring.
Grease a loaf pan while you’re at it. I just use a stick of margarine for this, but whatever you prefer.
I have decided to follow the letter of these recipes as closely as possible. I mashed the bananas together with a fork, but I might suggest a pastry masher if you have one, or even a mixer if you want it really smooth. It’s not necessary - banana lumps in your bread won’t ruin it. The riper your bananas, the easier this part will be.
Once your bananas are mashed (do better than I did here - I mashed them a bit more in the next steps but it wasn’t as easy), gather your wet ingredients. Eggs, molasses, melted butter, and brown sugar can all go in together.
I’m never not amused by packed brown sugar. I think measuring cups shaped like sand castles would end me.
Mash up and large banana bits you missed and mix everything together thoroughly.
Now, add the remaining dry ingredients together. I just dumped the salt and baking powder into the flour bowl and mixed them with a fork.
Mix the dry into the wet thoroughly. You can add a little to the bowl at a time, or just gradually work the edges until it’s done, like I did.
Once everything is combined, pour it into your greased loaf pan. It’s fairly runny, but sticky, so you’ll need a spatula to get it all out of the bowl.
The recipe doesn’t give a temperature or a time, but I found that close to an hour at 350 F worked perfectly for me.
The Pirate Queen’s loaf came out a lot bigger than the recipe I’m used to, which is really great. It’s thicker and fuller as well, and I can see why they say the Inquisition practically lived off of it.
Here’s the recipe from the book:
I think this will be our new banana bread recipe from now on! We’ll see how long it takes this loaf to disappear.
You are a werewolf and everyone in the village knows. When its nearing the full moon they all help you baricade yourself in your home since you are the only wheat farmer in town. Everything was fine until some self righteous lord takes over and demands not only your land but your home as well.
