If you love Biscuits and Gravy like I do you'll love this dinner recipe.

1 pound pork sausage

4 servings gnocchi

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup pureed pumpkin or butternut squash

½ cup heavy cream.

Brown the pork sausage. Add the broth, gnocchi and pumpkin. Let simmer about 10 minutes. Add the cream. Salt and pepper to taste.

It's basically dumplings and gravy, the pumpkin or butternut squash lives in harmony with the rest of the flavors and add the creamy gravy texture. It's one of my favorite meals and I have it at least every other week.

FYI, this was an actual streetlamp in Wrocław, Poland. Local services removed the overgrowth because apparently nearby people had trouble sleeping with this by their windows.

there is a universe of difference between "i'm not condemning individual russian athletes for being russian" and wanting to evade sanctions to buy shitty sweatpants for someone who is VOLUNTARILY an ACTIVE participant in the war????????

[chusovitina]

"may have no influence on the actions of the group they happen to belong to" is a fair statement for a lot of russians who didn't choose where they were born, and definitely is not for nagornyy.

Netflix, BBC and ITV set to ‘ban’ corsets from period dramas like Bridgerton

Many actresses have spoken about the pain of wearing them.

as you can see in the photos from the actual fucking show, Regency dresses did not actually show your waist. as a result regency corsets did not tightlace you, they were basically a longline pushup bra. it was physically impossible to tightlace a corset until the invention of the metal grommet in the mid 1800s.

so either wardrobe is torturing actresses with corsets that don't fit for no reason, the actresses are lying because "ouuf ouchie my corset hurt so bad" is such a popular chat show topic, or something else is going on. but not a single part of this article is factual. anyone wearing a garment that prevented them from eating, breathing or moving without injury on a daily basis would just die in tbe premodern era. wearing a corset that caused bruises for 10 hours a day would cause infected pressure ulcers which would become septic and kill you. there is no record of this being an issue for victorian women or any other population that used corsets because it just didn't happen

i have to emphasize to you that working class women did hard manual labor in corsets for hundreds of years. this is because working women did not tightlace. their corsets were basically back braces that made holding a lot of heavy warm woolens together easier without elastic, and kept their boobs out of the way of farming and kitchen tasks. tightlacing was considered a fringe activity even in tbe Victorian era. the illusion of a tiny waist was created with moderate corseting and LOTS of padding of the hips and bust. there are equivalent "boobs and belly protection" type garments in most areas of the planet where it's not too hot to wear them. corsets are not equivalent to foot binding, neck stretching, or lip and ear plates. tightlacing is not particularly immobilizing either if you have the right corset, there are thousands of people who are hobbyist or medical tightlacers who do fine.

i think the "corsets were instruments of torture" myth is kept afloat by White Feminism. we (i and my fellow white women) need a justification for victim mentality so badly that we will accept without critical thought the suggestion that our ancestors in the English peasantry did hard manual labor bending over in a field for 15 hours a day in a bit of underwear that caused organ dislocation, hypoxia, pressure ulcers and random syncope because they were just so tough and so glamorous and so oppressed by Male Expectations. somehow this is easier for us to believe than "Hollywood wardrobe direction is so divorced from historical reality they are putting actresses in clothes that don't fit and injuring them". let's all go on jimmy kimmel and talk about how strong and brave Women are for going to a party with a 24" waist, my god

[thebetterluthor]

I’m pretty sure actresses are pushed into tight costumes to achieve modern beauty standards, not to recreate historically accurate pieces of clothing. After all, dozens of actresses have said they can’t eat when in costume because it would end up being too tight.

Examples: Actress's waistline in costume: 

Actress’s waistline in normal clothes:

Actress’s waistline in costume:

Actress’s waistline in casual clothes:

Also, since we’re on the subject of Black Widow, check out the costume created for Florence Pugh for the move for Black Widow, who requested she wouldn’t be required to be pushed into a body prison:

I love that we’re all about women speaking out about their issues, until they actually do. Then we shame them for it and throw in a "White woman complain" to hide behind, like the article added above doesn't have two women of colour on the cover -_______-

Btw, quote from an actual Bridgerton actress:

Also, have none of y'all ever worn an ill-fitted bra? It's so uncomfortable, I can't even imagine what it must be like to be wearing a full-body suit, for hours on end while working, that fits like a ill-fitted bra.

[laylainalaska]

Reblogging this version with the addition because - the whole point here is that the actresses are asking for safer, more comfortable working conditions. This is not a situation in which it matters how corsets were used historically. What matters is that, in the actual working conditions in which they are used on set, the actual people who have to wear them find them uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous, and they’re asking for accommodation so they don’t have to do something that they find uncomfortable and unsafe. 

Which normally Tumblr is all over. Unless, I suppose, it’s something which Tumblr has decided isn’t a real problem, and then suddenly the people asking for this are a bunch of whining white women who are just looking for attention.

“so either wardrobe is torturing actresses with corsets that don't fit for no reason”

This very much appears to be what’s happening, although I would replace “no reason” with “cheapness, laziness, and callousness towards actresses.” Bridgerton does, in fact, feature restrictive late-Victorian-style corsets worn under both old-fashioned eighteenth-century-style gowns and empire-waisted Regency dresses…in an apparent effort to make a point about unrealistic beauty standards. The irony is stunning.

[sadhoc]

imagine the most meanspirited, unlikeable, rude, bitter, self centered, negative person you can think of. not a rapist, not a murderer, not an abuser. just a charmless, tactless, dyed in the wool asshole you wouldn't want to spend two seconds with. now assume they get sick, not with the flu, but with a long term, serious illness that limits their ability to provide for themself. a society in which that person is left to die alone because nobody likes them on a personal level is a failed society.

[sadhoc]

and the thing is, no matter how likeable or charming or cute you are, peoples' patience runs out. the friends who drop everything to rush you to the ER the first time you shit blood tell you to stop being so tmi the fourteenth time. people might give you a couch to crash on the first week after your shitty ex kicks you out, but by week eight, you better have another place to stay. people run out of time, patience, money, compassion, energy. there needs to be an impersonal option, a real safety net that isn't going to dump you when you become inconvenient
