Super tasty veggie main: celeriac and parsnip bake. Threw everything at it to make it main-worthy - garlic (lots), Parmesan, nuts, truffle oil and thyme. The crispy topping is the best part of course! #veggie #dinner #kitchenexperiments https://www.instagram.com/ampattenden/p/BuzajRhHAj6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ttyz7yj68aew

this is amazing
This is fucking cool
What a brilliant idea!
Growing up fat, you get made fun of for everything you do, even basic shit like eating and laughing and breathing are funny when you do it because youre fat! And its so hard to not carry that with you as you get older, like I’m still embarassed to eat or dance in front of people or smile in pictures and its ridiculous and I hate it and I wish I was treated with more humanity
Thin people can reblog this btw
I’m color-blind, but I can pick out that [Yves Klein] blue anywhere. I wrote 30,000 words on this color, and I never grew tired of it. The pigment is staggering. It’s amazing that a color can be so emotional. One can only hope to achieve that intensity in acting.
all hail eddie redmayne, patron saint of academic bullshittery
You have been visited by the Eddie Redmayne of bullshit, reblog to have plenty of bullshit to spew on your final exams
This is the level of academic fuckery I strive to achieve
I thought I was good at academic bullshitting but this is a whole other level.
Things that should be taught in schools:
- all the major world religions plus the indigenous one(s) and any others common in the area, all from an academic standpoint.
- all official languages, plus local indigenous and signed languages even if they’re not official.
- politics, from an academic standpoint. What actually is socialism? Communism? Nazism? Fascism? Capitalism?
- financial literacy, as its own subject as well as integrated into the math curriculum.
- basic law - local human rights, consumer law, renting, voting, disability law… the stuff everyone benefits from knowing. Also integrate with the financial literacy program
.- basic life skills. Cooking, sewing, fixing stuff, building basic stuff, growing food, basic programming and computer literacy, basic electronics, all compulsory and non-gendered.
- local indigenous history and mythology (acknowledging that you often can’t draw a line between those), including all the bits that make white people and other colonisers look bad.
- comprehensive sex ed with consent, minority genders and sexualities, and intersex identities integrated at every level.
- basic scientific literacy with an emphasis on finding stuff out for yourself. How to research stuff, how to fact check, how to spot logical fallacies, how and when to change your ideas about things. Should also be integrated into english (or equivalent) and social studies.
- project management. Let kids organise their field trips. Have a school market and let them organise stalls and sell stuff. Get them planning and teaching lessons. Assign leaders for group projects and make sure everyone leads at some point in the year.
- basic medical stuff. Anatomy, basic mechanics of common infections (bacteria vs viruses vs fungal infections etc), how to talk about health problems, how and when to seek help, how and when to get a second opinion, first aid, CPR and how/when to find and use a community defibrillator if those are available locally, info about local common problems and stigmatised illnesses, how to find out which specialist works with which conditions, disability rights, healthcare rights, and integrated with the sex ed curriculum.
- free time as a compulsory thing, with adult supervision and expertise and the school facilities and resources available.
- local environmental hazards and how to navigate them. Learning to swim, how to navigate the outdoor environment, sun safety, radiation safety, environmental toxicity, unexploded ordnance management, anything else applicable locally.
Seriously, how different would things be if all of that was standard? Or compulsory?
Can we as millennials and gen-z’s collectively agree that NObody Cares about elbows on the table like Why was that Ever A Problem for Anyone?? We can chill right?
nobody asked for this but the origin of not putting one’s elbows on the table comes from the late 18th/early 19th century when wooden ships were still used in the navy- sailors would balance their plates between their elbows while eating to keep them from sliding around. because sailors developed a reputation on-land for being uncouth and aggressive, the placing of elbows on the table became associated with such behaviour.
some cultural historians believe it also goes back further, to the middle ages, when large banquet-style meals were served on trestle tables that had no side support. if someone put their elbows on the table, they risked bringing the whole table down with them.
so basically, there is no longer any need to NOT put elbows on the table, and there hasn’t been since the advent of steamships.
I love this because now i can smartass the next person who tries to give me shit for it
good to know
If he’s a hopeless husband, she will always make him dinner and never suggest that he look after his own children. If he doesnt understand where the line is when it comes to harassing women, what’s friendly and what’s creepy, then she’ll give him the benefit of the doubt when he harasses or assaults. If he messes up simple tasks like washing his clothes and cleaning the house enough, she will take over out of exhaustion. If he states that he doesnt understand her feelings often enough, she’ll stop asking him to consider them.
Men play stupid because they’re lazy and entitled. They know they cant be blamed for their own supposed lack of understanding. Stop calling them clueless, helpless and stupid and start calling them manipulative.
Also the wives/gfs in this scenario have to find the magical right communication style. If she tells him to put the leftovers in an appropriately-sized Tupperware, she’s a nag or a control freak. If she asks him to clean up after dinner, then, oops, he just didn’t know. How could a grown adult know any better than to put two oz. of leftovers in a 2 quart container? Repeat for grown adults who didn’t know that laundry bleach isn’t laundry soap, that plants need an appropriate amount of water, etc. and the nagging-wife archetype starts to seem more like a reasonable-human one.
I’m infuriated by the learned helplessness of men in responsible careers, who apply reason and problem solving just fine outside the kitchen.
One of the most useful things I’ve learned about recovering from trauma is that my decisions need to be judged according to the incomplete information that was available to me at the time.
So, say I’m deciding whether to eat chicken at a restaurant. All evidence is that it’s a good idea. I’m hungry for chicken, and I usually feel good after eating it.
I eat the chicken, and I get food poisoning. The resulting illness causes me to fall short of responsibilities, and creates numerous problems for me and the people who depend on me.
What happened?
Trauma brain says: “This happened because I am Bad At Making Decisions. If I had made The Right Decision and not eaten chicken, everything would have been fine.”
Recovery brain says, “According to the information that was available to me, the chicken was unlikely to make me sick. Eating chicken was a Good Decision with Bad Consequences. This happened to me because I had incomplete information.”
The “trauma brain” response makes all decisions really hard, because each decision involves the prospect of being judged by a future self that has more information.
“Should I buy the $2 mouse pad or the $3 mouse pad? If I buy the cheaper one and it doesn’t work well, it will be my own fault for not buying a better quality one…”
(Then I might end up paying myself $1-per-hour to agonize over which mouse pad to buy, which is probably an ACTUAL unwise course of action.)
But if I foster the “recovery brain” response, I can start to trust that my future self will judge my decisions kindly.
“If I buy the cheap mouse pad and it doesn’t work, then I only gambled $2 on it. If I buy the $3 one and even it doesn’t work, then I’ll have more closely guessed how much I need to pay for a mousepad of sufficient quality.”
And then later when the mousepad doesn’t work: “Well, that didn’t work. At least I made a decision. The outcome has given me more information about the options available to me going forward.”
(Meta level: Decisions you made prior to reading this post about how to treat yourself were probably good given the information you had access to about trauma and recovery!)
tl;dr: Bad results are not always evidence of bad decisions. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt about why you do what you do.
the way teenagers are presented in media is so fucking funny like u think this is how sixteen year olds speak. do u think they really communicate in dramatic monologues and deep metaphors and references to great literature. half my high school didn’t know what a metaphor was.
Someone send this to the writers on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
