Facebook is having some serious problems for me this morning. Is it because it's onerous task day and I'm not supposed to be futzing around over there?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's just getting in the spirit of the day and making itself more onerous.

I love that vegan scandal. Can you be tainted by looking at a picture of meat? Could a lesbian become straight if she saw a picture of an erect penis? The visual contamination might never end.
A lot of the people complaining are complaining because these photos were put next to specific recipes, and when they made the recipe it looked nothing like the photo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
when they made the recipe it looked nothing like the photo.
In breaking, other news, that's not what a McDonalds burger looks like.

Here's the blog revealing the photo thing [link] (This blogger has done the "BREAKING NEWS! SCANDAL!" thing before.)

But I think that most people expect that, in a cooking magazine, a photo shown next to a recipe will be styled to look better, but will at least be a photo of something made from that recipe.

Um, I have never made a recipe and had it look just like the photo!
EVERYONE SHOULD COME TO SAN FRANCISCOShe says as she leaves town!! I'm here! (er, ish...Pleasanton isn't quite the same but)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That seems like more of an issue than "not vegan". I'd be irked about that in an omnivore magazine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Onerous tasks: Follow-up phone call re scheduling a reading for Allyson. Update my resume. Finish second pass-through of current ms for Plus One and return to other editors and author.
There's also taxes, but one piece of paperwork is still at home. Everything's done except for that; I just need to plug that one thing in and hit "send" at H&R Block. But since we owe money, I'm bloody well waiting until 11:59:59 PM tomorrow on that one.
