VegNews put out a statement that's basically a few paragraphs talking about how great they are and how difficult it is to keep a magazine running, and then a paragraph that starts with, "Yes, from time to time, after exhausting all options, we have resorted to using stock photography that may or may not be vegan."
I just flipped through the latest issue. As far as I can tell, there are just four photos there that
aren't
stock photos -- one of them is a photo of Mayim Bialik with an article she wrote about raising vegan kids, where the photographer is credited, one is a photo with a recipe where I can't imagine being able to find that photo as a stock photo, and the other two are photos of workers that they interviewed for an article about the dangers faced by slaughterhouse workers.
Aw, that is a cool moment!
I have run out of Batman/Superman slash fic to read, which is amazing considering that a week ago I had zero interest in any such thing
I hate that, when I find a new fic genre, and I read it all obsessively for a while and then I am adrift.
Hivemind! I roasted a chicken last night, but apparently not long enough. It's been refrigerated overnight - can I fire up the oven again and finish it? Or would that be dangerous? It is a free range chicken, I believe.
Smonster, I don't know if you
should
do that, but I
would
probably do what you suggest.
My onerous task was finishing grading and submitting grades. Also, onerous? Wearing a corset and heels all day (in honor of retro day for spirit week -- they never said HOW retro).
My feet hurt.

That leads to pairing creep for me -- you start with S/B, and that leads to Batman/other people, or, hey, I wonder what Robin is up to?
Whew, tax return filed, possibly even accurately. I owe federal a little, biggish refund from state. Payment set up for Monday.
smonster, if you get the chicken's internal temperature up where it's supposed to be to be safe (165? 180? I don't know) I don't think it will matter that it was previously partially cooked. That may dry it out - maybe put it in a covered dish.
Jilli, insent to your gsc addy.
Sox, amych, I'd love to follow your blogs! I try to follow friend's blogs, so I feel like less of a schmo when I'm all "I HAZ NEW BLOG POST UP!"
I do NOT put it on FB, since I have peeps on FB I don't want following my blog, which is pseudonymous. But I use WP, and have my posts set up to it auto-Tweets new blogs to my also pseud Twitter account, and I will use FB message to send NEW POST messages to peeps who I think (hope) will be interested.
I don't have a lot of traffic, and almost never comments but I keep plugging away, for the writing practice and the clearing of thoughts.
When I set up my freelance biz this summer, I will have blog section for my freelance website which I WILL post updates on my FB, will set up a separate Twitter account and FB biz account.
And I will market the hell out of myself. June 3rd, I can start putting all my business planning into action re: THOSE ideas...
But I'll still maintain the personal blog, I think.
Onerous task: depositing old tiny freelance gig check and filling up my antifreeze. One done, one will do after 6 pm phone call for new edu freelance gig phone call...
Jilli, I had to do sub-Q with one compliant and one very non-compliant cat. I think it is easier than pilling them, barring a needle squick. And don't be weirded out as the fluid migrates. Both would start with a big pillow on their back that would gradually migrate down to the chest area.
