Slow oven cooked and finished under the broiler. #instantpot hot sauce as the final glaze mixed with a burgundy reduction of the ribs own baking juices. Just a bit of lime to slice and add on left before plating with beans and rice. #porkspareribs https://www.instagram.com/p/BzuUbgBB9zv/?igshid=ijc2lg9eywxk

Another attempt at #instantpot faux #sourdough bread. Not as much rise as last loaf but was last bit of old yeast. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrjhHNxhDJT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1go5123keyvyw

people understand that Spanish speakers speak different dialects of the Spanish language but don’t understand that black people speak a dialect of the English language

The Onion’s on fire

It’s not consent unless there is a choice. A ‘yes’ doesn’t mean anything unless saying ‘no’ is a safe and comfortable option available.

[kippos]

Fuck. This is literally the best commentary on consent I’ve ever seen.

[thoughts-of-an-x-factor]

This is worth sharing.

[onlyourlittlesecrets-deactivate]

… And once more for the people in the back.

[fuckmethroughthesheets]

Exactly. Consent is only present so long as one has the ability to withdraw said consent at any point.

[memehumor]

I’d be on board with that.

In a much-watched case, a Michigan agency has approved Nestlé’s plan to boost the amount of water it takes from the state. The request attracted a record number of public comments — with 80,945 against and 75 in favor.

Nestlé’s request to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to pump 576,000 gallons of water each day from the White Pine Springs well in the Great Lakes Basin was “highly controversial,” member station Michigan Radio reports. But despite deep public opposition, the agency concluded that the company’s plan met with legal standards.

“It is very clear this permit decision is of great interest to not only residents in the surrounding counties, but to Michiganders across the state as well,” MDEQ Director C. Heidi Grether said in approving the permit.

“In full transparency, the majority of the public comments were in opposition of the permit,” Grether added, “but most of them related to issues of public policy which are not, and should not be, part of an administrative permit decision.”

Under the plan, Nestlé will be approved to pump up to 400 gallons of water per minute from the well, rather than the 250 gallons per minute it had been extracting. The company first applied for the new permit in July 2016.

“Kirk Got Redpilled”: William Shatner Lashes out At “SJWs” And “Snowflakes” in Twitter Attacks

William Shatner should probably log off for a while.

This is such a bummer. I hope that Bill has just hired some people to work within his social media team, and he doesn’t realize or understand that they seem to be gross Pepes. 

I hope that someone convinced him that doing this shit is just a way of being “controversial” because there’s no such thing as bad press or attention, and they made him believe that there’s this vast audience of people who are shitty like them who will give him money and attention.

I hope that all of that is true, because then maybe someone can talk with him, and help him see that it’s toxic and cruel and hurting a lot of people who sincerely look up to him and have been positively affected by his work. 

He was mean to me when I was a kid, but he apologized, and has been kind to me ever since. I want so badly for this to not be the guy I’ve known a little bit for over thirty years, because it breaks my heart, if this is who he is in his own heart.

I want – I need – to believe that this is the work of shitty little self-proclaimed social media gurus, and that he isn’t actually this awful person who was being shitty to marginalized people on Twitter, because the Internet already has one Adam Baldwin and we don’t need another one.
