obsessed with body neutrality… like people are just the weirdest animal we’re just walking around earth with individual deep inner worlds and maybe I do have dark spots and acne and scars but why should that bother me? they’re literally just things that happen to people

I hate spiders so fuckibg much but why do I think he’s cute.

[zagreus]

[ace-in-a-shopping-cart]

Those are so nicely spaced! How? Teach me your ways, mighty spider!

[winterrose42]

Oh!!!! This is a variation of a spiny orb weaver and they’re noted for making very evenly spaced spiral webs that sometimes have empty middles. We had one under our back porch and fun fact: these are the same species of spider that Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web was. That’s why she would write words in the middle of the web bc a lot of times they leve the middle of the web without the spiral, just the main attaching strings. They’re also harmless, never come inside your house unless carried in by accident on a plant, and very good to have near or around gardens and barns and such bc they’re a big predator for perkier bugs like flies, mosquitoes and those beetles that eat your leaves.

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

[lmaonade]

i truly believe that knowing how to cook is a basic survival concept and the fact that so many people can’t even make simple dishes is depressing as hell this is the sorta thing that should be taught at a young age. being able to take the ingredients you have around your home and turn them into a meal is like, essential and will make life so much better. you don’t need to be a high end chef you just need to understand some things that can be easily taught… but then again maybe the education system is playing a roll against this and ultimately they want you to grow up to rely on mcdonalds for dinner. i don’t know. please learn how to cook for yourself if you’re able. i’m not asking you to hunt for specific ingredients to make some expensive youtuber’s “best” recipe but if you know the basics of cooking you can do a lot with cheap canned ingredients. cooking can be affordable i promise you just need to learn how to make do with what you can get

[eroticcannibal]

Can anyone point me towards resources that teach those basics cus I would LOVE to teach my child this stuff but i dont know how to cook

[loumandliker]

not comprehensive but heres some:

internet shaquille’s basics but especially:

making rice

making scrambled eggs

making oatmeal

levels of cooking meat

using & storing vegetables with recipes in the description (this one has a bit of Sassiness directed at people who dont like vegetables but the content is solid)

food safety + a recipe to demonstrate

how to learn to cook (just a list of subtopics, no actual tips)

cooking techniques playlist

how to cut x

basics with babish s1 & 2, but particularly:

freezer meals,

weeknight meals,

kitchen tools (although the specific suggestions are pretty expensive even with the lower end scale items the basic categories are solid, and you can evaluate what items you will realistcially need - eg. if you dont need to read temp for steaks etc the temp reader will not be relevant) &

kitchen care (mid-high advanced home cooking)

basic knife skills

picking the right pan for each recipe

j. kenji lopez-alt’s tips and tricks playlist

egg recipes

a little more complicated, involved, and longer than any of the rest of these but good breakdown of flavor & how and why to use the basic seasoning/flavor profiles

and then recipe channels representing various cuisines:

j. kenji lopez-alt (various)

marion’s kitchen (southeast & east asian, western/asian fusion)

maangchi (korean)

future neighbor (mostly korean)

the western supermarket playlist of chinese cooking demystified (more recipes available but these are accessible if you dont have “specialty” ingredients)

family recipes playlist by made with lau (chinese)

not another cooking show (various)

cooking with boris (bear with me here i know he does it exaggeratedly humorously but a lot of them are actually solid and beginner cook friendly. mostly slavic/russian)

you suck at cooking (also falls into the intentionally humorous category but most of the recipes are pretty solid anyway)

how to cook that (baking, also does debunking videos of viral cooking hacks - breaks down the reasons the hacks dont work, pretty important to understand those basics imo)

internet shaquille (various)

babish culinary universe (various)

i REFUSE to recommended joshua weissman because he is fucking insufferable but if you want you can try if you can deal with it, the techniques/recipes seem fine for the most part

again definitely not a comprehensive list but it touches on most of the basics

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

I got a lot of beef with the concept of dust. absolutely no reason for something to get dirty just because nothing has touched it. bullshit.

[neatlarryfics]

top 10 current fave fics of mine (in no particular order)

 1. Swim In The Smoke (a/b/o, Harry’s the captain of The Wandering Sparrow, Louis is a prince who ends up on board, (against his will at first). they eventually fall in love. super interesting plot, you’ll never want it to end.) 

 2. Somthin’ Bout You (Louis is part of a huge thieving circle and Harry is an fbi agent he ends up kidnapping. I love the way they portray the characters in this fic. it’s also really funny and Louis and Harry’s relationship is A+++.) 

 3. Baby Heavens In Your Eyes (innocent rich church-boy Louis and bad boy Harry who rides motorcycles. honestly one of the most iconic fics of all time. I can read this at any given time and still lose my shit over it, it never gets old.) 

4.  Hush. (Louis and Harry live in a very religious town where gay is definitely not okay but they somehow Manage. I love this fic so much it’s so well written and deeply thought out, it played with my emotions in all the right ways.) 

5.  Mine Now (Harry transfers to his rival school after getting expelled and Louis takes him under his wing. one of my favorite high school au’s, super fun to read and the characters are so well written.) 

6.  Soft Hands, Fast Feet, Can’t Lose (Harry’s a star football playing frat boy and Louis is a dancer who likes to run, and also happens to hate frats and Harry. somehow they work. can’t possibly say enough about how amazing this fic is, if you haven’t read it yet, read it now. ) 

7.  The Wicked Game (Harry Styles is the bachelor and Louis is a contestant. one of a kind fic, you will not be able to put it down as soon as you start reading.) 

8. Have You Coming Back Again (college au, Louis “hates” Harry and they aren’t dating but have been dating for a year. GOD. this fic is always going to make my favorites, it’s so fucking good and I can read it so many times.) 

9.  May You Enjoy Your New Life (best fic I’ve ever read that goes from x factor up, it shows the development of the band and Louis and Harry SO well plus Harry has a kid which makes everything cuter. absolutely perfect fic right here.) 

10.  Things Have Gotten Closer To The Sun (apocalyptic fic where the end is very close so the boys all decide to spend it together. Louis and Harry fix what they never could before. AHHH this was the first fic I ever read on ao3 (after years of wattpad) and it still blows me away just as much as the first time, it’ll always hold a special place in my heart.)

can u believe some people can see a cat & not immediately be filled with absolute unconditional love for that animal. they dont even get the urge to kiss them right on their little baby cat head. thats incomprehensible to me

straight people should have to wear “VISITOR” badges when they go to gay bars

[hollowboobtheory]

WHY are hets so mad at this post I thought you didn’t want to get hit on at gay bars here’s a solution

[womenruntheworld]

Works of art. I will print and frame these.

[damnedifyoudeeohh-deactivated20]

A male coworker (a doctor, no less), who I know pretty well but is not a close friend, came up to me when I was pregnant and put his hand on my belly. Once he removed it and stepped back, I placed MY hand on HIS stomach, and stared him uncomfortably in the eyes. “How does this feel to you? Is this weird to you?” Apparently it was, because he apologized profusely for 2 months, and when his cousin came to the US to visit and came to the office, the first thing she asked him was, “Is this the pregnant woman you awkwardly laid your hand on?” 

[upthefolks]

so like okay, 

I don’t know why I’ve been obsessively thinking about the concept of “gaydar” 

but I have. 

Actually no it’s because a straight family member used the term like 

“oh I have really great gaydar” 

and it made me feel really gross 

and it took me like a full hour to realize why. 

When heterosexual people say that, 

it feels like they’re bragging about their ability to clock us, you know? 

like a straight person is telling me that they can spot us queers at 50 paces 

and i’m immediately going to be uncomfortable with that, 

whereas when other queer folks talk about being able to spot each other 

it’s a tool for survival. 

Like here’s the thing right? 

being able to tell is important sometimes.  

Here’s an example: 

A couple summers ago I was in a very very small town in Nova Scotia, Canada 

(like 6 buildings small) 

and I met a woman in the library who was probably a little older than my actual mother. 

She was there most days using the wifi 

because she lived across the street in an apartment without internet. 

We sat at the same table a few times and spoke briefly about life in passing 

and after a few of these not-talking-about-gay-stuff convos I was pretty sure she was a part of the lgbtq community 

and I slipped in a casual pronoun re: an ex 

and she just looked at me, 

stopped completely 

and said “oh thank fuck, I thought so.” 

and instantly started talking about her girlfriend, 

it was like this huge wave of relief washed over both of us 

because we were in a small rural town and both hovering in this really queer space and unable to talk about it. 

Anyway she was really rad and took me to the closest big town to buy me a tim hortons coffee 

because she found it reprehensible that I had been in canada for more than 3 weeks already and hadn’t ever had it. 

Almost instantly it was like 

“oh okay we have this thing in common that other people may not be cool with 

but we can actually exist and not hide shit without the fear of violence or anger”

but when it’s a straight person

they’re pretty much just letting you know that they can spot the fact that you seem “abnormal” to them 

like great 

thanks for letting me know.
