tumblr deleted my last confessional post so here’s a new one:

when i was like 6 my grandparents got me an awesome dollhouse (playmobil haus 5301 if anyone needs to know). for some reason, i had in my head that one day, god would shrink a bunch of people until they were the size of polly pockets and the world would be so cruel and scary for them. so every night i would pray to god that if he did that, that he would please put the tiny people in my dollhouse so i could provide for them. and every night, in case it happened, i would put water in a little cup for them and make their little beds so they’d have somewhere warm to rest after finding out they would be tiny forever. i told my friend in school about this and he said “oh my dad’s a wizard dont worry he can make them grow again” and then i felt at ease and never worried about it again.

this made me think of another doll themed confession:

when i was 7, the same grandparents got me Kit, the american girl doll. if you didnt know, this was back when american girl dolls were decent and cared abt historical context and shit, so kit’s whole thing was she lived in the great depression. i also had a blonde bob and freckles so everyone kept saying i was just like kit, but i didn’t understand that they meant my looks. so one night, i prayed to god that he would make me more like kit so i wouldn’t let anyone down by not being like her. and the next morning, my parents sat me down and explained the recession to me and i cried the whole night because i genuinely thought i’d caused it.

There’s a reason for this: recipes cannot be copyright protected unless accompanied by “substantial literary expression”.

I’m sure a lot of recipe authors hate writing that crap too, but unless the polite fiction is maintained their work gets sucked up & monetized relentlessly by bots, without crediting or compensating the creator.

MY primary gripe is how boring the ‘anecdotes’ are. Why not write about werewolves instead? Where the only protection against the hideous slavering beasts are these scrumptious lemon blueberry tarts?

Or how this recipe was handed down by Cthulhu itself 20,000 years ago! But with certain ingredients mistranslated to avoid uttering forbidden words! And NOW, for the first time in recorded history–  

Or how this recipe for chicken enchiladas absolutely defies replicator programming so we’ve time-travelled back to 2021 to obtain unborgified chicken DNA to resequence the replicators buuuuut since we’re here now, might as well have a copy of this awesome recipe…

Makes about as much damn sense as some of the crap I read on recipe sites.

PSA:

Hanukkah this year will begin in the evening of Sunday, November 28, 2021 (Thanksgiving weekend in USA) and end in the evening of Monday, December 6

If you observe this holiday, might want to adjust plans around the holiday weekend (if in USA)

If you don't observe, at least avoid wishing folks a Happy Hannukah three to four weeks later when it will be long past.. . .

I just realized how fucking disgusting it is that it’s considered healthy and normal for teenage boys to eat everything ever yet teenage girls are obviously also growing but are fucking dieting all the time and shamed for eating while they’re growing

[segweg]

Shit

[rainbofiction]

That’s not even the half of it because

- often when a teenager (male or female) puts on some fat it’s in preparation for a growth spurt. Grownups know this. 

- teenagers grow in weird gawky ways, like a girl’s hips will spread out and look “fat” until her legs get longer, or they’ll shoot up super tall and then slowly put on muscle and fat. Grownups know this. 

- it’s very common for a women’s body weight to fluctuate plus or minus 5% with her menstrual cycle

but in the diet mentality all of these things are considered personal moral failures, a failure of control, when controlling it is literally impossible. I am so incredibly saddened by women who weigh themselves multiple times a week and fuss over ten freaking pounds when that’s well within the bounds of menstrual fluctuation + just-ate-lunch. It’s horrible.

“A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.” – Naomi Wolf

[thunderboltsortofapenny]

Grown ups really do not know this. I tell this to parents at least once a week, your child is sleeping/moody/putting on weight because their body is preparing to more or less jump the Grand Canyon of maturation stages. Hormone changes start a full YEAR before first menses.

My own mother, who works in the medical field and has worked solely for OB/GYN for the last 16 years, gave me grief about all of those things. And she knew about hormone level changes and weight distribution changes and she STILL did it. Don’t think hard facts will outweigh societal norms. Keep talking about it until they can’t ignore the facts
