So these are both “Aw Fuck I’m outta real food” meals BUT ALSO: if you’re learning how to cook, these are great “baby steps” meals to learn how to cook basics into something enjoyable without “wasting” anything expensive. Though I maintain that even cooking screw-ups are valuable in terms of lessons learned.

Also they’re great for when you get absorbed in something and you realize your blood sugar is dropping and you need to make something Quick.

I don’t think of myself as a cook at all, but I looked through this list and was like “if you have [center] and [any item on a surrounding ring] how do you sit there thinking you’ve got nothing to eat?” Like, I buy a fair amount of staples knowing that I’ll be able to quickly assemble them into something tasty if I’m hungry and don’t have anything instant (or in a leftovers container because I made it earlier in the week specifically to eat for a week): butter, cheese, noodles, and more.

It still impresses people how I can go into random kitchens with no food in them and emerge with Filling Snacks for Five People. This is the secret: knowing how to assemble Cupboard Meals. And these charts are incredibly well-laid-out too!

Adding butter and some of the pasta water to the pasta + parmesan + black pepper combo will also give you a simple alfredo.

okay but if i say i “don’t have food at home” i certainly haven’t got eggs and avocado. Thank you for the peanut butter and noodles tips, tho

I think it’s deeply, deeply sad when I watch a video on YouTube and a woman says, “I’m having a no makeup day/it’s important to have no makeup days/I didn’t feel like doing anything today…. So I just put concealer under my eyes and on my zits and evened my complexion and did my brows and a little bit of mascara”.

poetrylesbian

Like their idea of not wearing makeup is… wearing makeup. It’s disturbing. I wish these women weren’t taught that the “default” of womanhood is still covering your imperfections

frizziebot

or maybe… they just enjoy wearing makeup? they feel better with it on? why do we assume women who enjoy wearing makeup or prefer to always have some on “hate themselves” or “don’t value” themselves. let women wear makeup who want to and let women who don’t want to have a bare face in peace. jesus fucking christ.

without fail - WITHOUT FUCKING FAIL - whenever theres a post like this, theres people like you in the comments, and i have to say, im fucking sick of it. i dont know if it stems from some sort of defensive instinct, some feeling of being attacked because you wear makeup and this post criticizes (an aspect of) makeup, but either way, you show up in the comments like reading comprehension lacking little roaches.

this post DOES NOT SAY women who like makeup should feel guilty.

it DOES NOT SAY every woman who wears makeup hates themself.

IT SAYS THAT WEARING MAKEUP - SOMETHING THAT TAKES UP MONEY, TIME AND EFFORT - SHOULD NOT BE THE NORM FOR WOMEN, TO THE DEGREE THAT ‘NO MAKEUP’ IS DEFINED AS CONCEALER, BROWS, MASCARA AND BB CREAM

THERE ARE WOMEN OUT THERE WHO ARE SCARED TO BE SEEN WITHOUT MAKEUP BY THEIR PARTNERS, WHO SLEEP WITH MAKEUP ON BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID THEIR SIGNIFCANT OTHER WILL NOT FIND THEM BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT MAKEUP

YOU CANNOT TELL ME THESE WOMEN ‘ENJOY MAKEUP’ IN THE WAY SOMEONE WOULD ENJOY KNITTING, THERE ARE MANY LAYERS TO THIS, AND SOCIETAL PRESSURE, REWARD AND EXPECTATIONS *ARE* RELEVANT. YOU CANNOT SAY OTHERWISE WITHOUT LYING TO YOURSELF.

Going without makeup shouldn’t be brave, it shouldn’t be an emotional challenge. But it is for a lot of people.

I have seen girls doing no makeup challenges who fucking… Got upset and cried. Just having their bare, natural faces without products on it has become so expected of them that is induces distress and anxiety to be without it. They feel judged.

That’s fucked up.

Makeup as an item, as a thing… It is nether good, nor bad, it is just a tool. But a culture of makeup is manipulative and warping the way a lot of women view themselves and how they view other women.

That is not empowerment, it’s not “choice feminism”… It’s a culture designed to exploit women emotionally and financially until they feel socially inept when not wearing makeup.

Something I’ve noticed people saying is that JJ was using ASL in the new video, which wouldn’t make much sense because he’s confirmed British.

The ASL and BSL signs for help are very similar, but from what I can tell, in ASL you bring the thumbs up on the open palm up from your chest to your collar bone.

In BSL, you keep it stationary.

In the video, he doesn’t move it, so he’s mostly likely using BSL. It isn’t that big of a deal but I thought I’d put it out there.

antisepticjack

it is bsl but he does move the sign towards himself, indicating “help me” rather than just the word “help” :^)

one of the weirdest ways that language is evolving in response to the internet is that “bad words” just. do not have the same impact anymore. i constantly forget that some people think ‘fuck you’ is a terrible insult

so threats and insults have to start getting really out there if the person wants to even mean anything. if a person told me to die i’d shrug it off but if i opened a post’s tags and saw “op i will sneak into your house and replace all your shoelaces with cooked pasta” do you know how shaken i’d be? do you know how upset i’d be if i saw “op is the personification of the look you share w other people in the grocery store when some dude is causing A Scene™ for no reason”

So you are saying English curses on the Internet are becoming more like Yiddish curses?

feywildwest

I sincerely hope so but I can’t say I’m familiar with yiddish curses and i am begging you to tell me a few

gallusrostromegalus

My Personal favorite is:

“May all your teeth fall out, except for one, to give you a toothache.”

captainlordauditor

“OP is a complete onion.” (their head is in the ground)

“I hope I have the privilege of sewing your shroud” is another one I like.

antongarou

“May you have a hundred houses, with a hundred bedrooms each, and ten beds in each room. And may the plague throw you from one bed to the other”

“May your death be sweet. Run over by a truck full of sugar”

“May everyone congratulate your widow at your funeral”

My kink right now is unloved characters suddenly realizing that they are loved unconditionally.

an entomologist rates ant emojis

Beautiful big almond eye, realistic and full of expression as she gazes gently at you. Elbowed antennae and delicately segmented legs and body. Gorgeous pearlescent sheen like she is glowing. This ant moisturizes. This ant is round and huggable. This ant is a star. 11/10.

Beautifully detailed, lifelike pose but with an unexpected neck and odd antennae, perhaps scared straight. Her eyes suggest she has seen things. Her expression confirms she has seen too much. She is haunted and I want to know more. 7/10.

Floppy antenna, pointy muppet face, oddly posed legs. What is she? She has no waist. May be she is some kind of bee in disguise? I find her unsettling. 3/10.

This ant has an unexplained, double-jointed thorax, and no evidence of a waist. Her four-footed pose suggests that she a centaur rather than an ant. Centaur ants would be cool. I’m not sure what was intended here. 2/10.

Good first impression, kind of bland in the details. This ant has no particular waist to speak of, floppy rather than elbowed antennae, and an inexpressive face. Her color scheme is soft and hazy. I like the sharp angles of her stylishly sophisticated legs. This ant may not know quite were she is going, but she knows how she is getting there. 6/10.

Were you even trying. 0/10

Gasp! This ant is elegant. This ant has a beautiful tapered thorax, a segmented abdomen, alert, elbowed antennae, and a light-footed pose. This ant’s face suggests curiosity and a desire to explore the world. This ant inspires me. I want to be like her. 10/10

3-legged, waistless centaur-ant with strange, limp antennae and a beak. I don’t know what this is? It kind of reminds me of a Hork-Bajir. 1/10, not an ant.

This ant… makes me sad. All of her legs are broken. The MS Paint art style and gradient abuse convey distress. She has a duck beak. Despite this, her expression suggests perseverance and determined cheerfulness. I want this ant to have a better life. I am rooting for her. 3/10

This ant is a bold and challenging mixture of photorealism and caricature. She is broad and low-built and seems very sturdy. She looks like she would help you move. This ant is a dependable friend. 9/10

A picture of an ant from a children’s book. She is wearing little boots. This ant is wrong in every way, and yet I can’t stay mad at her. 7/10

An interesting, top-down view of an ant; her legs are positioned with slightly jarring symmetry. Nevertheless, her overall impression is that of a graceful, stylized design, like a pictograph. She is suitable for adorning fine garments and jewelry or perhaps gracing the walls of a tiny ant church. I like this minimalist ant. 8/10.

This is a termite. -10/10

why are these all marked as “she”? don’t female ants have wings??? why bother adding the pronoun???

curlicuecal

Alates (male and female reproductives) have wings. The queens shed their wings after they mate. The males die. The daughter workers do not have wings. If you see an ant without wings, it’s a she.

And honestly—why bother panicking about things being called “she”? It’s not like I need a reason to gender a bug. I do it all the time. It’s fun. It’s humanizing. They don’t care.

I’m calling this spider she right now. 🕷️ her name is delanie. she’s a lesbian.
