“if you’re plus sized you can just shop on shein/amazon/cider, they have a good selection!!” yeah but i don’t want to rely on fast fashion. i think fat people deserve more ethical and high quality clothing choices

the internet is a place for reading wikipedia articles and watching every movie for free. social media is an invasive species. never forget this
me, the most autistic woman alive: why is the silence so loud rn
i know it's here somewhere. i can FEEL you
they just don't get it. they don't get how loud everything is
since I know for a fact survival theft will be going up this month, do not steal from Target, they have some of if not The highest end security measures in place, even if they don't call you out on your first theft, they know you did it, and they're waiting until you've stolen enough to get the law involved.
I am dead serious. Do not fucking steal from Target, you Will be caught.
Sometimes I get the feeling that something is in my house watching me so I talk to “it” out loud like it’s a guest. I actually do genuinely enjoy having company over and keep a bathroom bag of supplies so I usually tell my imaginary paranoia-visitor it can sleep on the couch if it’s staying the night, where the new toothbrushes are, etc. surprisingly it does help
Going to the library and renting a study room when I need to do adult things like making phone calls and filling out paperwork or applications. My ADHD makes it so I cannot easily do "school and administrative" adjacent stuff at home, but if I go to the library my brain switches into work mode for some reason and it works. Used to stay after or go to school early to do my homework for this exact reason, legit cannot reccomend it enough.
I queue up a playlist of songs roughly the length of the chore I need to do, with a "smoke break" song (17 from Repo! The Genetic Opera) somewhere about the middle.
Press play, do the chore. Smoke break song comes on, and I take the duration of that song for a snack and some water. When the song ends, its back to the chore. When the Playlist ends, I am permitted to leave the space I was working in.
I started this as a way to force myself to take showers even when I had zero energy to do so (bc getting up is hard, even if the shower itself is the Good Place) then realized it worked for every chore I hate.
Works. Every. Fucking. Time.
I'm getting tired of eating chicken soup all week, but it's been great because I can just cook the chicken on the bottom of the pot, successively add vegetables based on their cook time, and I dirty just the pot, the knife, and the cutting board.
Do y'all have any low-effort, low-cost soup suggestions for the week?
Chickpea Harissa Soup
In its most basic form, cook some onion + garlic in some olive oil, then add 2 cans of chickpeas (with the liquid!) into the pot + harissa paste to taste + broth/stock/bouillon + whatever vegetables you would additionally like. Finish with lemon juice if desired. I usually serve with egg (poached directly in the soup) + hearty bread but that’s not required ofc.
I like a mushroom and pearl barley soup, even though it takes a little bit of cooking time.
Fry an onion in oil, add sliced mushrooms + salt, fry until the mushrooms shrink a bit (plus more oil, if the pot goes to dry). Add garlic, pepper, thyme or other herbs, cook for another minute or so, then add broth (vegetable or meat, either works) and the pearl barley, about 50 grams per portion. Probably around a quarter cup? I measure mine with a Turkish tea glass, that looks about right in terms of size. Boil until the barley is tender - the one I have currently is coarsely milled instead of whole grains and will take around half an hour.
Curried lentil soup, where you fry up some onion, ginger, and garlic, add a generous amount of the curry seasoning of your choosing (Indian curry paste, thai curry paste, curry powder, etc), then add in some carrots, fry a little longer. Add maybe 3-4 cups of stock (if you're using a very salty stock and a saltier curry paste, thin a little with water, if you're using curry powder, taste at the end and add salt if needed) and a cup or so of red lentils (double it if you're planning on a big pot and lots of leftovers), cook on an enthusiastic simmer until the lentils are soft, maybe 15-20 minutes. Add some chopped green vegetables like kale, spinach, etc (I like the individually frozen cubes you can get, they're a great thing to keep in the freezer and chuck into stuff for added nutrition) in the last few minutes of cooking, if you've got them, and a generous spoonful or two of lemon or lime juice right before serving (I usually go for lemon if Indian curry seasonings, lime if Thai). It's a very forgiving base recipe and good for using up what you have. If you've got some yams or potatoes, that's good to add some small cubed ones in when you add the lentils and stock. If you don't have any green vegetables, it works well without. If you've got cabbage or bell peppers, add some in in the same stage when you're frying the carrots. If you want some extra protein, peanut butter is good in here as well and adds extra creaminess. If you've got some coconut milk that's a great thing to add, too. Tomatoes or tomato paste, can also be added if you like em, use a lil less citrus if you're doing that. For a slightly sweeter variant you can add some chopped apples. If you don't have lemon juice or lime juice, a dash of a nicely flavoured vinegar is good too, like apple cider or white wine vinegar.
Sausage, Goat Cheese, and Winter Squash soup. It's legit got five ingredients and is insanely good
cut 2 winter squash in half (any squash that isn't spaghetti squash, butternut, or summer squash will do) and put them in the oven for about an hour (or until the squash is soft) at 350. Fry up 1lb of breakfast sausage and a chopped white onion. Get a pot, put in 2 containers of chicken stock (64oz), the breakfast sausage/onions, and the scooped-out inside of the squash. Simmer lightly for 15min. Mash up any big chunks of the squash that are still left, then add goat cheese to taste.
the remedy for overconsumption isn't never buying anything that brings you joy but isn't 100% necessary btw
there are rich people who never wear the same socks twice. you can buy that journal
the point of this post btw isn't that you shouldn't be mindful of waste.
it just seems like the poorest people I know restrict themselves from buying the most basic things that could bring them a bit of joy, simply because they aren't 100% necessary and it makes me mad for them tbh.
There are people out here throwing away clothing they've already worn but don't want other people to have etc and my friends worry that buying a $40 journal with good quality paper is frivolous
i will never be against piracy ever but i also need physical media to remain
the average blockbuster carried about 3x as many films than that that are streaming on Netflix or any other streaming service, physical media along with piracy is more important than ever.
I thought this wasn’t true, because how could it be true? How could one small store have more movies than an online database? So I googled it.
I am surprised and depressed to learn it’s 100% true, according to google. A Blockbuster store was required to have a minimum of 7000 titles, but most averaged about 10,000. Netflix has 4000 movies. (And 1800 tv shows if you want to count those, but even included, it’s still less)
Now I’m even more depressed about the collapse of physical rental stores.
BONUS: They weren't beholden to Who Owns What IP Right Now. They got videos from everyone. You didn't have to pay separately for the rights to rent from the Disney Shelves and the WB Shelves and bler bler bler, and they only STOPPED having those movies when the tapes broke or someone never returned 'em.
friendly reminder that your local library will have lots of physical media and if they don't have what you're looking for you can most likely ask them to purchase it or order it from another library through interlibrary loan
Shoutout to Scarecrow Video- they have over 148,000 titles, most of which you can rent by mail. Rentals have been down in the last few years so they're asking for support!
boosting this for Scarecrow Video. It's also now a non-profit.
it’s small joys saturday y’all let’s get it
Requisite Yearly We Do Not Buy from Baker Creek post
It's seed catalog time! One of my favorite times of year, honestly. While my garden mostly sleeps, full of dry leaves and fluffed-up birds and cold breezes, I'm indoors contemplating tomato varieties and telling myself that *this* will at last be the year I get the peas in on time.
As it is that appointed time, my usual yearly reminder: don't buy from Baker Creek!
Baker Creek are racist, fascist assholes! They intended to platform Cliven Bundy at their yearly conference, and Native seedkeepers have said that Baker Creek stole from them (and sell the product of that theft). They did a For Ukraine fundraiser that actually went to a far-right Ukrainian organization invested in obliterating LGBT rights.
Baker Creek might have some fun varieties of seed, but I can very nearly guarantee that if you see something there you want, I can find it or an analogue for you somewhere else.
Here's a selection of seed companies I personally have bought from, or people I trust have recommended; there will be a secondary and possibly tertiary reblog, since Tumblr only allows me to do ten links at once. If there's a company you've bought from and liked, please leave a review for them in the comments! What did you get, what did you like, how was the germination?

New to me last year, but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED seed preservation company (they have an incredible selection! My 2023 germination of their seed was like 98%! But they only accept paper order forms):
Heirloom seeds, organic sweet potato slips and heritage poultry. Sandhill Preservation Center has over 2500 varities to choose from.
Cool weird nightshades, I got a bunch of dwarf tomato seeds from them last year and THEY didn't suffer from peppergate because they're a small company that does a lot of their own seed:
Many new Heirloom Vegetable Seeds are available: Tomatoes, Peppers, Kohlrabi, Pumpkin, Lettuce, Cabbage, Corn, Beet, Herbs, Carrot, Onion, B
A list of ten more companies or so, which I buy from every year, will follow in a reblog in about two minutes; please share that one instead of this one.

It's not a bad idea to get in on Autumn and Winter seed sales--things are pretty rough right now, planning a garden can give you the feeling of a bit more stability and control--so I'm reposting this a bit early, this year!
Look through the notes for other people's reblogs with comments for other seed companies, too! Some great stuff in there.
boo hoo the white house is so historic!
the united states paved over babylon to build a military base in iraq. like the actual ancient city of babylon
In the spring of 2003, US troops invaded Iraq and began an 8-year military occupation, resulting in extensive and long-term damage to tangib
A senior U.S. military officer said Friday he is willing to apologize for damage troops in Iraq caused to the ancient ruins of Babylon.
You would think "the United States occupies the actual ancient city of Babylon" would be some kind of exaggeration but it's not.
