deriding things as performative is anti third space

[houndmother]

im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!

[houndmother]

what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.

Interesting 1960 mid century home in Coos Bay, OR has 3bds, 2ba, 2,680sqft, $475k.

Oddly, some of the rooms are disorienting. There are round cylindrical walls everywhere. The living room is quite large and has access to the terrace.

Maybe it's the camera angle, but the kitchen is wonky. Look at how the ceiling in the kitchen on the left doesn't go up to the top. The kitchen is so large, that the fridge is almost in another room.

Interestingly shaped bedroom.

The main bath has a shower.

Round hall comes around to the stairs to the lower level.

The stairs lead down to the ground level bedrooms and family room.

Bedroom #2.

The 2nd bath has the same shower/sink layout as the bath upstairs.

Bedroom #3.

The laundry room is down here and it's unusually large.

The family room is quite large and very curvy.

This must be the garage under the house.

There's a very large deck.

And, it does have a yard with a garden.

Approx. 1 acre lot.

That's Coos Bay, from an estuary of Coos River, that flows inland from the Pacific Ocean.

The worst types of cookbook:

The Ottolenghi - it is vital that you use 1g of this very expensive ingredient. It comes from a 500g bag with a one-week shelf life.

The time machine - 15-minute recipe! First, leave to marinate overnight...

The dishwasher - one-pot recipe! Now decant your ingredients and wipe out your pot. And again. And again. And again.

The optimist - cook the onions until caramelised (2 minutes).

The kindergarten teacher - get one nommable little tree of broccoli and bosh that into boiling water. Delish!

The brand names only - ingredients: Ritz crackers, Philadelphia cheese, Cool Whip, orange Jell-o...

The 1950s palate - use one (1) clove of garlic and a small pinch of chili flakes (omit if preferred).

The why bother with a cookbook - to make beans on toast, gently heat a tin of beans and put on top of freshly buttered toast.

The Bon Appetit: replace this nutritionally fortified staple with one that is not and its also more expensive because obviously people can taste trace amounts of iodine in your salt.

LIKES TO CHARGE REBLOGS TO CAST

[skribblegurl]

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.
