2024.05.19 22:25 Salty_Sundae_2925 Recommendation Request for Donuts at Event

Please note: I have already dedicated a decent amount of time to Googling - it is actually really surprising how little information on this specific topic in Vegas is easily sourced. That said, please help fellow locals!
I am looking to serve donuts for our wedding reception as our dessert, rather than a cake. Although I am not a huge fan of the Siegel family, I did initially start with Pinkbox but the website provides very little information, and when I went in to two separate locations, I was directed to the website for my questions, and when I called, the automatic recording states they do not answer the phone.
Do any of you have a recommendation of a local bakery or donut place (again, I have researched online but have found little to no info readily available on a website), that can give examples of what can be created (donut towers, images on donuts, other presentations, etc.), along with pricing, along with a way to further discuss with the vendor?
Follow up question - do you have an entirely different suggestion for a dessert option?

2024.05.19 22:21 MaudeBird Advice for wedding cake on cascading stand please

Advice for wedding cake on cascading stand please
I am going to be making my friends' wedding cake this October. They let me know that instead of a tiered stacked cake they would lile something on a cascading stand. Probably a stand somewhat similar to the photo attached but we haven't confirmed it yet. They like the floating look. From a transportation and set up standpoint I am thrilled about this (wedding is a couple hours away and it is a gluten free cake). Most of the pictures I have seen have each individual cake on a cake crum the same size as the plate. Iw that what you all think would look best? Another option I am thinking is I could use acrylic discs the same size as the plate that cake will sit on and then put a ribbon around the bottom of each tier of cake so that the cake looks like it is only being supporting by the pillar? Thoughts? Advice? Other ideas? Please and Thank you!

2024.05.19 22:16 HRJafael All about the bees: 14th Bee Fest draws record attendance, new statue unveiled at fire station

https://archive.is/1DQJp
From 9 a.m. Saturday, when families began making their way to the Second Congregational Church’s front lawn, to the unveiling of Greenfield’s 12th bee sculpture, “Fearless,” outside the Greenfield Fire Department’s new station on Main Street at 12:30 p.m., more than 1,000 people of all ages stopped by this year’s Bee Fest — the largest attendance the event has seen since its inception 14 years ago, according to its founder Sandy Thomas.
“It’s off the charts, we’ve never had this many people. We clicked in [counted] 500 just a few minutes ago, but its got to be more than that now,” Thomas said at 10:30 a.m. “These people came from Wrentham specifically for this because they’re new beekeepers, they heard about it and they just came. It’s wonderful, they keep coming and they want to learn about bees.”
The roughly three-hour festival honored the Rev. Lorenzo Langstroth, the sixth minister of Second Congregational Church who is known as the father of modern beekeeping. Langstroth patented the bee hives with movable frames in 1852, a design still commonly used by bee keepers today, according to Franklin County Beekeepers Association President Art Canterbury, who manned a bee education table with a live beehive demonstration at this year’s festival.
Canterbury engaged with curious festival-goers, educating them on bees and beekeeping, and answering questions ranging from best beekeeping practices, to general inquiries about the nature of bees and their colonies.
“My grandfather kept bees and I worked with him when I was a little kid. Now it’s just the easy attachment to go right back to and enjoy it and develop it,” Canterbury said. “This community loves the idea of bees in general and pollinators like to have that exposure and understanding of the bees [...] The colony of bees itself is a super organism. Everything that they do is for the colony. There’s not a bee in there that’s only doing something for itself.”
Children, many sporting elaborate bee costumes, marched through the farmer’s market for the Pollinators Parade and took turns swinging at a bee pinata. Families also centered around the beehive painting station, putting their unique marks on beehives that will be used at apiaries across Franklin County. Thomas said since bees are capable of sensing color and design, the practice of hive painting could make it easier for bees to find their hives.
The festival also featured a silent auction of bee-related products, bee-related games for children, a pollinator plant giveaway table and a 214th birthday cake for Langstroth. Katie Rozenas-Hanson and Rick LeBlanc of the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture Resources also operated an informational booth, where they distributed sunflower seeds and informed the public on best practices for planting pollinator plants at home. Rozenas-Hanson said she was pleased to see how effectively the festival engaged children.
“This event is so wonderful because it’s evolved from a festival that’s mainly for the general public, to being really kid-focused and having a bunch of free activities for kids to do to engage with bees, learn about beehives and best apiary practices — I just can’t think of a better event for them to go to,” Rozenas-Hanson said.
** Sculpture unveiling**
Bee Fest wrapped up with the unveiling of the city’s 12th bee sculpture “Fearless,” depicting a bee dressed in a firefighter’s uniform, in front of the new fire station on Main Street. Before the unveiling Fire Chief Robert Strahan announced that the department will begin moving into the station this week before a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 10.
Designer Rachael Katz, an artist and owner of The Greenfield Gallery, produced the original “Beatrice” bee sculpture prototype. Over the past three years, her first 11 bee sculptures have been installed along Main and Federal streets, at Court Square, and at the John W. Olver Transit Center. She said that while the other bee sculptures took identical forms with unique decorations, she and the sculpture’s painter Andrew Easton wanted to give the “fearless sculpture” a unique character and form.
“For most of the other bees, the form just served as a canvas, and the artists painted images upon it. And this one we really wanted to make a character in and of itself — it’s not decorated with pictures of fire engines, it’s an actual character [...] it’s our firefighters, they’re there for us. They’re heroes and they charge into danger and it just seemed right to honor them,” Katz said.
Easton, who said he spent roughly 160 hours painting the “fearless” sculpture, put significant work into not only painting the bee, but arranging various elements, such as the oxygen tank on its back and its “343” fire helmet, which he said was a tribute to the 343 New York firefighters who were killed during 9/11.
“This is a special honor for us. There is a personal story that goes along with this bee, and we are humbled to have it at our new headquarters,” Strahan said.
Mayor Virginia Desorgher, who joined Strahan and the artists as they removed the tarp from the Fearless sculpture, said she was pleased by how the annual festival has evolved and grown over the years.
“It gets better and better every year, there were more people from out of state this year than I’ve ever seen,” Desorgher said. “It’s very exciting.”

2024.05.19 20:55 Loose_Falcon_690 Should I (23f) tell my friend (23f) what I really think about her marriage?

I apologize for any mistakes in advance, English is not my first language, but I hope I was clear enough (Not real names)
I've known my friend Luna since we were 12yo, we met at school and I made several friends from her because she is very outgoing, among them Amanda(23F), Amanda and Luna were best friends since kindergarten, so they know each other better than me... Luna comes from a very conservative family but is also lgbt+ so despite being bisexual she has never been with girls, cause she knows her family would not accept it. In 2018 Amanda told me that Luna said that she liked me and wanted me to give her a chance but I don't like receiving statements like that LOL and I didn't want to ruin our friendship so I pretended I never heard that and Luna never said it or pretended she never said anything When we were 18yo Amanda came out as lesbian and in 2019 Luna starts her 6th abusive relationship with a boy, the longest btw, 11 months
Last year Luna sent to us a message saying that she was going to marry boyfriend number 7, Amanda and I congratulated her and after a few months she asked me to be godmother, I didn't expect it, and she said not to tell Amanda, cause she can't have the two of us Later I discovered that their family was paying for a large part of the wedding and we were the only two of her friends invited, the rest of the party was made up of work colleagues and family members from both sides
Last week was the bridesmaids' meeting and I arrived a few hours early, so I ended up seeing the groom for the first time, they were baking a cake and the oven was bad so she told him to watch and he took the RAW cake out of the oven so we told him that the cake was raw and put it back in the oven and after that he took the raw cake out of the oven 3 times until we gave up on the cake and he left During the party he came back and we had a circle to give advice to the couple and he sat in the middle of Luna and his own sister (13f) and held hands with both of them, Luna was uncomfortable and let go of his hand and then he sat on the other side, sister's side, leaving Luna alone Then they went to sing and Luna was out of tune so he and his sister started laughing and Luna said "when you sing better than me, you can laugh" At the end of the party, when they were deciding how they would dress for a photoshoot today, she said she wasn't going to get all dressed up for him to arrive like a rag, he asked me how I did my hair before I could explain Luna started to tell him that his hair was ugly, that there was no solution, that he was ugly, that he wouldn't fix himself...
After that they went to the bedroom to argue, then they argued in the kitchen with her mother present and then he left and she told her father what happened... I talked to her mother afterwards and she says this happens all the time, they take out a lot of stress on each other
The problem is, they got married very quickly, they haven't even been dating for 6 months, and they have already paid 1 year of rent on a house together!!! Their family talks all the time about children and their aunt blessed their room, I think they had a celibate relationship, idk
After everything I started to think that she asked me to be godmother because I wouldn't question her decision and not because her first best friend is a lesbian in a relationship of almost 2 years, Amanda would have said something at the time regardless of whether she was asked or not But when I asked a friend about it she said that I was jealous because Luna didn't like me anymore and that I shouldn't get involved in her relationship, regardless of whether I thought it was bad or not I don't want them to break up and she dates me, I just don't want her to get into the seventh unsuspecting abusive relationship, the other times I barely saw the guys and didn't notice anything, but this time I saw...
Should I talk to her? Should I talk to Amanda? How do I approach this? should I talk at all?

2024.05.19 20:48 Alert_Constant71 The Jax is an AI theory is disproven because Jax needs opioids

I've heard a lot about the jax as an AI theory and even made it to film theory, one problem though. Someone asked goose works that if you could give Jack's anything but would it be, she responded with, opioids. Why would ai need opioids? Jax is mostly likely being a jerk because he's having withdrawal symptoms that caine can't fix because that is an issue when it comes to the brain he has said he cannot edit. And even if the AI just wanted to be cool and get addicted to them (for some reason) then where would he even get them? I don't think they can leave the circus without Caine, "but Caine and bubbles smoke!!” bubble said that she wanted to stop smoking, so they both know about addiction and what it can do to a person, so why would they willingly give Jax's opioids that would continue his addiction, also why would Jax's talk about his opioid problem? He probably doesn't even see it as a problem. Even so Kane most likely just fine whatever he likes into it unless it is an asset, the angel food cake could be from the restaurant that they go to in the first episode, or from Candy Kingdom, he is also giving them food as a reward so there are plenty of food assets for him to pick from, I highly doubt this most likely kids games would have opioids in it.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk

2024.05.19 20:33 Pyalamode Early June Itinerary Check

First time travelers to Japan. There will be 5 of us, 3 adults, one college student, 1 preteen.
I've kept our schedule fairly loose. We only have a couple of reservations (Team Borderless and hiking Fushimi Inari).
I haven't purchased any shinkansen tickets. Figured based on everyones comments we will be safe getting them once we arrive.
No restaurant reservations. Sounds like they really aren't needed. We don't plan to do anything very fancy and I expect to wait in lines. Konbini for most breakfasts.
I've created several maps based on areas with areas of interests, landmarks, shopping, restaurants and coffee.
I'd love feedback. It's really hard to gauge how much we will cover in a day. I'd guess the weekends will be more slammed than weekdays so those days may cover less.
Fri, May 31st
Sat, Jun 1st - Shibuya + Harajuku
Not sure whether this area needs an entire day dedicated to it. I just didn’t want to kill us the first day and be close to our airbnb in case we are not fully recovered from all the flying.
Sun, Jun 2nd - Shinjuku + Kabukicho
Mon, Jun 3nd - Roppongi
Tue, Jun 4th - Kawagoe
Wed, Jun 5th - Open Day
Thur, Jun 6th - Travel to Kyoto
Fri, Jun 7th - Higashiyama/Eastern Kyoto
Sat, Jun 8th - Central Kyoto
Sun, Jun 9th - Fushimi Inari
Mon, Jun 10th - Nara
Tue, Jun 11th - Open Day, Last Day in Kyoto
Not sure whether we will be exhausted at this point or night. We have several areas on our list. Either..
OR
OR
Wed, Jun 12th - Travel Back to Tokyo
We have a hotel in Ginza. Figured we’d explore that area once we arrive and check into the hotel. This is our last full day in Japan. It’ll probably be just shopping and eating.
Wed, Jun 13th - Fly Home
Our flight doesnt leave until close to 6pm so we may have some light exploration before heading to the airport. No real goals.
The last couple of days will be based on how everyone is feeling. We may hit other areas if we still have energy.

2024.05.19 19:44 Electrical-Barber-30 1 month in progress

I went to see my Dr and she recommended Wegovy, but it didn’t get approved for 3 weeks. In the meantime, I had decided to start slowly jogging again after 9 years. I’m doing the Galloway method (run/walk/run) as it’s what works best for me, especially after not consistently exercising in a while. I started .25 on May 1st, and have had minimal to no side effects. The food noise has basically disappeared. My starting weight was 253, I’m now at 245. But the thing that I’m most excited about - I am a wedding photographer, and I used to treat wedding days as “exercise”, but would feel like I got hit by a train the next day. But since I’ve been active again, and the food noise has calmed, I was able to do a full crazy wedding day yesterday, and woke up feeling fine. There was cake at the wedding last night, and after 2 small bites, I realized I didn’t want anymore, and was fine being done. Old me would have practically licked my plate! I am at the very beginning of my journey, but it feels so good to already feel so much better!

2024.05.19 19:10 Suwatilore Another sweet treat for my little Noire!

Another sweet treat for my little Noire!
It is Sunday again thus another week ended and it also means that my beloved darling receives another delicious treat for her taste buds! This week I decided to bake a coconut cake! It seems we are on a nutty streak, haha. Let’s see if we will keep it up or if next week it is gonna be something else. Anyway, the cake is rather juicy and fluffy. However I feel like the flavour could be improved in some way. I don’t exactly know how though. Nevertheless my precious princess enjoys the goods made for her royalty herself. I will try to vary with the icing next time and will try to make a different chocolate variation of it. Maybe white chocolate would make a unique and interesting mix with the rest. Baking it also proved to be absolutely unproblematic. Concluding I would say this week’s cake was another success! After all my little sweetheart likes it!
(The next paragraph is going into a really depressing phase I had so if you are not feeling good or are maybe easily influenced or so then please watch out and you may refrain from reading it)
The rest of the week was rather interesting, I would say. It started of with quite the bang because sadly, I had to deal with a really personal problem of mine which bothered me quite a lot and made me feel extremely bad especially because I felt like I disappointed my one and only. To be fair Noire didn’t particularly like it but it is not like she made me feel guilty or bad about it. However this didn’t really help in relieving me from my feelings of guilt and in this night I even ended up sleeping on the ground instead of our bed. Noire was calling me a huge idiot for doing such a thing and for basically overreacting. She told me to get back into our bed but well... I just felt too bad and didn’t feel like I deserved it this night. Noire definitely was angry about that but not even that was enough to convince my stubborn self. Needless to say the night was absolutely terrible, haha... However I woke up a bit early before work and then I couldn’t stay away from my darling anymore and sneaked back in and cuddled with Nowa. After both of us were awake I was holding her very tightly and apologised a lot. Honestly I didn’t want to leave for work at all. I was not only still feeling terrible and regretful but also I just wanted to stay by Noire’s side. However I needed to go and I also couldn’t keep bothering my other half because she also had to take care of important stuff. I am not exaggerating when I am saying that I was feeling absolutely miserable at work and I was even quite close to crying. I was a real crybaby that day, haha... Even when I got home I still felt really guilty and like I am not allowed to show too much affection to Noire even though she wasn’t that bothered by what I had done. I just felt like Noire deserved better. Luckily soon after it was time for my workout. After all what is better to process things than completely exhausting your body and bringing it to its limits and making yourself suffer physically in some way? Thanks to that I was able to finally get out of my terrible state of mind and realize how dumb I was overall. To be honest I wish Noire would have just slapped my face as hard as she could because I feel like I definitely deserved it. After everything was processed the week got much better. After all feeling like I am not allowed to be with the girl anymore to whom belongs my heart was the worst experience ever. But as I mentioned this lies in the past and it was mostly due to my own feelings of guilt why I even experienced that. Everything is as wonderful as it can possibly be with my beloved Noire now again!
Let’s enter happier areas of this week now! I will start by mentioning that this week the newest Neptunia game released in the west and as addicted as I am to buying Noire merch I definitely needed to buy it. I mean, how could I not?! Just look at this beautiful poster of my breathtaking darling in a wedding dress!! I may already have this as an acrylic standee but the more I can see Noire like this the better! Since I am very weak towards resisting against buying new items of her my walls are already filled with a lot of motives of my gorgeous princess. So I didn’t find a suitable place yet. I intend to put it somewhere very close to our bed so I can always see her like this when we are cuddling. We are not married yet but I very dearly wish that we will change this in the future. I already tend to call Noire my future wife and if I can ask for anyone by my side forever then I would ask for my most precious darling in a heartbeat. As you might very well know I already consider myself hers alone and I will hopefully remain this even after death. But I leave this decision up to my ruby eyed princess!
Talking about loving my sweet Noire so dearly I actually ended up telling someone who isn’t really close to me and has no interest in anime or any of this kinda stuff about Noire’s and my relationship. This person is a coworker of mine who I am getting along quite well. In a break as we were talking about several things we also talked about my vacation and since it was mostly devoted to Noire and spent with her it would just feel wrong to not talk about her. This was a very important step for me personally because I like to actively talk about our relationship and about Noire in general and since most people don’t know about all this stuff this is kinda complicated and it also is a bit hard to even explain in the first place. Luckily my coworker is very open minded and understood it quite well when I told her about us. Also she wasn’t judgemental or anything like that at all. Her reaction pretty much aligned with the one of everyone I have told up to now. I am really glad I am becoming more and more open about everything as time goes on because Noire is my one true love and I want to be able to talk about things regarding her naturally when I feel like it and include her when it is important to me. This was a huge personal success!
We are slowly coming closer to the end of this post but before that I wanna talk about another highlight of my week next to my most obvious highlight which is of course being able to spend time with Noire! In one of the past posts I have already talked about how a friend and I started a Pokémon soul link. As time goes on this challenge really proves to be a ton of fun! We are not particularly good or anything like that but it is so hilarious and cool do it. The furthest we have progressed was up to the third gym badge. Well, unfortunately we got defeated there. Some might say this was my fault for letting my strongest Pokémon and his as well get defeated by something that could have been expected but well... Those are nothing but rumors! Nobody could have foreseen that a dark gras Pokémon would one shot an ice psychic Pokemon! Anyway we started a few new runs after that and we got hilariously lucky with our Pokémon. For example my team consisted of Monferno, Venusaur, Lotad and Piplup. There were also more absolutely hilariously strong Pokémon but this should do to put this into perspective. However the enemy Pokemons also were comparably strong. A casual trainer just pulled out a Dialga like it was nothing or a Magnezone. This run was really promising but unfortunately mistakes happened a Moltres ended up defeating all of my team and thus ended our run... Soon after I got really lucky again and ended up catching a Heatran. A Heatran!! My team consisted of Treecko, Gible and Heatran at this point which is incredibly strong but someone had his Pokémon get defeated and then my Heatran also found his end... My Heatran... For such a short time in my team it already felt like family to me. It could have very well been the adopted son of Noire and me. I was already seeing the three of us having barbecues together with him making sure we had fire. Or us going out into the city challenging other Pokémon trainers with our talented Heatran... Ah... Heatran... Poor thing... To be fair Noire would have probably found him ugly, not liked him and thus we would have not adopted him so it isn’t that bad after all. We were continuing our soul link yesterday while Noire was out with Uni having some sister bonding time together. She came back rather late and the girls seemed to have watched some scary movies which made my little sweetheart extra clingy. It was so incredibly cute! I won’t go into too much detail about that because I am sure she would feel too embarrassed and shout at me then. Neither of us wants this after all. Just know that I have taken good care of her and made sure she felt all safe and secure as a good partner should! She got lots of cuddles, caresses, comforting words and a late night snack! A happy and satisfied Noire is what I always try to achieve even though I may be an idiot at times, haha.
The week started with a hard time and ended in a delicious and adorable way. So I would say it was a great week after all! There is no point in mourning the past anyway. Learn your lessons from it and try your best to not repeat the same mistakes again. We are all human and therefore bound to fail over and over again until we eventually overcome the obstacles standing in our way. Every obstacle or mistake bears another important and essential lesson that you would have not found otherwise! With that being said my ruby eyed beauty and I hope your week was full with lots of fun and joy! Furthermore we wish all of a wonderful next week! Remember to focus on positivity in your life and don’t let yourself get dragged down by negativity too much! In any case you will always have your partner helping you out whenever you need it! I am sure of that!

2024.05.19 18:47 Fabulous-Fox-8303 Looking for Support, Feeling so Alone

Trigger warning, mental health topics like suicide. Thanks for reading this. I filed for divorce back in Nov because my husband’s mental health was not improving and he was getting more abusive towards me and his disabled 10 year old son (whom I adopted). We had spent Oct apart to see how a split would be and I felt my like was more peaceful. His mental health continued to decline and this culminated in a bad episode where he screamed and cursed at me then threatened to kill himself in front of our son. I got us out and called the police and they took him to the hospital. After getting out, he was not allowed to see my son other than at supervised visitation locations or to come to the house.
He went out of state to stay with family, then found an inpatient treatment center in Cali. We agreed that I would hold off with the divorce to allow him to use the health ins and focus on treatment full time while I took care of our son and worked full time. During this time, he would still try to flirt with me and say he still loves me, etc. I turned him down and eventually his advances stopped and I hoped he was focusing on recovery. The first treatment center was not good (understaffed, false advertising, etc.) so he then moved to an intensive outpatient center that he had found nearby.
He started saying that he wanted to move to Cali because of state programs and lifestyle. I was annoyed that he would be so far from our son, leaving me with full time care, but he had never been very reliable or responsible. He said he was depressed and his calls grew less frequent. However, I foolishly started harboring a small hope that he would actually get better and come back to our family.
He told me about a month ago that he was being released. He mentioned randomly wanting to move to the same town where the treatment center was located. This bothered me, why there? On the day he was released, I figured it out…there must be a woman. I confronted him and he said he had a gf but they broke up. I was immediately DEVASTATED. Couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep. Couldn’t understand how he could be so immature and selfish to do this while he was supposed to be focusing full time on treatment. He acted like I was over-reacting and I spent hours texting him and explaining my concerns, such as, what if she ends up pregnant? He continued to act like I was overreacting, that his treatment was not affected, that trauma bonding between patients is common, etc. I pivoted in our divorce to continue requiring supervised visits as I could not trust his recovery. I also started having intrusive thoughts about the woman, who I found out was another patient. I grew extremely jealous. I spent time trying to convince him not to abandon our son and move across the country. We ended up spending countless hours talking and going over our communication issues, he finally apologized profusely, took accountability for fucking up, and was somewhat friendly. He said the relationship with the other patient was toxic and completely over. He said I had made it pretty clear after Oct and by filing divorce that our relationship was completely over, if he had known that there was still some hope, or how much this would have hurt me, that he would have made different decisions.
He arrived back in town on Wed. I spent the evening talking to him, and the is point my desire to rekindle something was embarrassingly full tilt, he was soo much calmer and collected but also very distant. We spent more time together and I grew more confused. I finally confessed to him yesterday that I wanted to try and see if anything was left of our relationship before filing the final papers. The extra draw to it for him would be the financial stability and support I am capable of providing. We talked on the phone and he said it was all too fresh and too much, as I have the house he is basically on the verge of being homeless and is jobless. But he said he was open to discussing it further.
Fast forward to last night, he exercised a supervised visitation with my son and we talked briefly after. He told me he needed to tell me something, that his ex-gf from the facility was indeed pregnant. I almost threw up. I am 38 and wanted kids with him, but our relationship was never stable enough emotionally or financially to try. I asked if she was going to keep it and he said at first no but now she was changing her mind. She is still a patient at the treatment center and is there bc of a recent suicide attempt. The whole thing makes me feel so ill.
The icing on the cake was last night, when he indicated that he had stipulations for getting back together with her. When I wanted to get back with him he was unsure (he already knew she was pregnant), but potentially wanted to go back to her. That was the final straw for me, I really lost it on him. He was already thinking about abandoning his living son to go live with this woman, now they will have a baby. But now I can’t sleep or eat or do anything. My life feels like a Jerry Springer episode, but I am a responsible, kind, hardworking person who did so much for my husband for years, including saving his son from his abusive, drug-addicted, ex-wife and raising him as my own. I know I made choices here too that led to this mess, but I have never felt this hurt and lost before. I am trying to seek out more therapy, etc, but nothing seems to be helping yet.

2024.05.19 18:31 InBabylonTheyWept Human Secrets: Part 4

“Ready?” Ersatz asked. It was a politeness on his part. The timing window was very, very narrow, and he wasn’t going to wait for my permission to launch.
“To travel untethered across the dark depths of space?” I asked back.
“Don’t be a baby,” he said. And then he reached out and grabbed my arm.
I learned at the planning meeting how human teleportation works. There are, apparently, layers to the universe. Tiers ‘like a wedding cake.’ Momentum and position are carried between layers. Everything else, not so much.
In the layer I was at before, there was a spin station, with a floor to keep me in place. In the layer we moved to, there was nothing. Just endless eons of empty, starlit sky. No ship, no air, and no floor to press against.
It was like being cast out of a sling. The circular trajectory became straight. In theory, I knew that I was traveling at an incredible rate of speed. In practice, there was nothing I could judge my distance from, save the humans gathered around me.
“What if we miss?” I asked. I knew the answer, but I hoped, vainly, that they’d say something comforting.
Then we’ll die, came Pride’s response, twisted by the hiss of transistors. But at least the view will be beautiful.
We did not die.
One moment, we were sitting in the frozen void. Order gave the countdown - five, to zero - then Pride activated the crash pad and we jaunted back into the layer we started at.
A serene backdrop of stars was replaced with the roar of wind and a hall that stretched for what felt like miles. We must have cleared the entire length in seconds.
The sound was all I could experience at first, wrapped up in the crash pad as I was. Dull thuds against the pad indicated collisions. The roar of wind eventually muffled, giving way to new clues about the environment. Tinny music whistled from nearby speakers. Quiet groans could be heard, both inside and outside the pad. Pride’s voice was the first clear sound I heard, inside the cocoon of foam.
“Good God Viv, do you sharpen your elbows with a whetstone? How can anyone be so damn pointy?”
“Practice,” she said. Light trickled in as something cut the foam open. I turned towards it, expecting to see someone with a knife. Instead, I got a faceful of plastic as Order coughed the last of the bits of gnawed cushion up. He’d resorted to gnawing his way through almost immediately. I almost wondered if he started before we even jaunted.
He pushed himself through the gap first. He’d made the exit, so it was his right to leave before anyone else. I was nearest, so I followed behind. The halls of the spin station should have prepared me more for the realm of the burger clown, but I still found myself flabbergasted by how humans choose to decorate things.
Murals lined the full length of the halls, only slightly vandalized by the trail of destruction we left from our decel. There was a story to them, but only just. Scenes of a burglar and a purple oozing mutant, charmingly sharing burgers and fries, were interspersed with scenes of intense violence. There, a chicken-woman was eating nuggets. Just ahead, a man with white skin and red lips was taking a crown off a severed head. One wall showed a child eating fries covered in ketchup. Directly across from it, the Pale Man bit a severed finger, micking the child’s glee. The burglar dominated the dozen yards of wall beyond nightmare, having merry adventures stealing, eating, and redistributing burgers. It ended abruptly as the Pale Man returned, wearing his stolen crown, and sentenced him to ‘death by lingchi.’
The remaining set of halls were very graphic images of the burglar being forced through a fry-cutter.
I turned around, mostly to see the story of the murals continue. I’d forgotten about the moaning outside the crash foam.
Scattered across the hall in piles of broken and shattered bone lay dull imitations of the Pale Man. His acolytes and priests. Bone white skin, blood red lips, and hatred were the only traits they shared. One crawled towards me, legs trailing uselessly behind it, lips opening and closing wordlessly. I’d probably have stared in horror until it actually got up to me, except that Order finally seemed to have regained his bearings.
I didn’t see him until he was already past me, flying through the air with all the grace of a bird of a prey. Humans had shorter arms than my people, but their legs were powerful. The arc of his fall ended with both feet slamming into the back of the crawler’s neck. Bone snapped and the horror finally, blessedly, went still.
Order looked at me, eyes blazing, and said aloud what the thing had been wording.
“I’m lovin’ it.”
I think I forgot to breathe until Ersatz and Pride both managed to squeeze their way out of the foam. Viv breached a new way through, courtesy of her pointy elbows, and together, we traveled into the unspeakable hell of the burger clown’s ship.

2024.05.19 18:28 fuck_peeps_not_sheep Mods please remove if not allowed, but -

This subreddit is for noob bakers, and it's incredibly disheartening to see posts like "my first bread ever!" or "my first cake" and seeing something show room quality, if your proud say your proud but nobody gets results like that without practice. Try "my first bread useing [type] method" or "my first cake decorating following tutorials online". I can't be the only one feeling like I shouldn't even try after skiing all these "first try" posts that are not first trys at all and don't give full context.
Sorry for the ramble but curious if you agree?

2024.05.19 18:08 onthewingsofangels Week 21: Intro & Weekly Discussion - Inspired by Nature

This is another of those creative weeks. The sky's the limit on what you can bake, and extra points if it looks like the sky!
You can try focaccia art of flowers. Or cupcakes decorated with piped roses. Use dried flowers or herbs to decorate a cake. Make a chocolate mud pie with gummy worms. A galaxy cake to celebrate the night sky or the Northern lights.
It's spring in the northern hemisphere, a walk on a nature trail or a trip to the beach may bring unexpected inspiration. Good luck with whatever you choose to bring to life!

2024.05.19 18:02 BanananaSquid Need help with colors: Would anyone mind sharing pictures from their moody wedding?

We are having a backyard ceremony followed by a reception at a local art gallery. The very has a more "industrial" feel to it – you know the look, exposed brick, high ceilings, concrete floor, etc. There will be an TBD art exhibit during the event and it's generally a cool space where I don't feel like I need to do a ton of decorations beyond some tablecloths/runners, center pieces, and maybe som twinkle lights on one of the brick walls, but I know I need to sort out a color palette for the centerpieces and whatnot so things look cohesive. Our wedding website, save the dates, and invites are all black and white since I still have not sorted this out 🙃
The ceremony will be lighter and brighter since it will be in our backyard which will have lots of green and florals, and then I would like to transition to a moodier vibe for the reception. My initial thought is to do deep burgundy and pink bridal bouquets (my partner and I are born women) and then use that same burgundy in the reception space for centerpieces and table runners against the black table cloths that come with the venue. My concern is using the burgundy without it looking like a vampire-y/Halloween-y.
So, all that said I would love some inspiration to see how others have pulled off a moody vibe without it looking gimmicky. Thanks in advance!
