ok so

everyone knows about this meme, right?

but does anyone else know the woman who made the food? no? time to educate!

This is “Mother Mary”, the owner of Blackberry’s mother.

She made all the cakes for the restaurant while it was open. Chef Gordon Ramsay tried her red velvet cake, and spoke this meme-able line:

He then called Mary over, complimented her food, and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Look how happy she was to hear that!!!

anyways, I hope she has been able to continue her love for baking since the restaurant closed down.

[tasmanianstripes]

For these who don’t know: The restaurant she worked at closed down but she left before that and opened her own bakery, that’s apparently very successful!

She has a youtube channel where she shares recipes and cooking advice!

My daily adventures into Wicipedia (the Welsh-language Wikipedia) has presented me with the greatest infographic I’ve ever encountered in my life: how different dialects in Wales refer to a female dog in heat.

The west Walian bitch is hot, except for the Swansea and Pembrokeshire bitch which is just warm, not hot.

The Cardiffian bitch is dogging.

The Gog bitch is also dogging except for when she’s in Flintshire or Wrexham, in which case she is actively hunting other dogs, or in Welshpool, where she prefers to just chase them.

The mid Wales bitch has no fucking idea what’s going on.

[textpostscymraeg]

Great news: I have found the cow version.

The Glamorgan cow seeks a bull, while the Gog cow mostly asks for one, except for the Môn cow, which is bound to a bull.

In Flintshire and one very specific part of Powys, the cow wants a bull, while the west Walian cow’s a bit more adventurous and wants to bed a bull.

The Tywyn cow will very politely ask for a bull, but, just a few miles down south, the Aberystwyth cow will attack a bull on sight.

The mid Wales cow still has no fucking idea what’s going on.

Everyone reblog this. Mandatory.

[darklightthedragon]

Welp if it’s mandatory then sure

[vocifersaurus]

Of course it's mandatory. It's true for literally everyone else on the planet.

What people think why i became a bookbinder: Oh she wants to explore her artistic horizon with those pretty leather bound books of hers. She even gives them out as gifts to her friends. It most likely helps her with anxiety or maybe she just wanted a more special costume made notebook.

Why I actually became a bookbinder: I just illegally downloaded and printed out several of my favourite fanfics and books and started binding them into books cuz I love reading them but looking at screens for too long gives me headaches.

Update! Important

Hey everyone! OP here and geez this post has truly blown up over the years. However there are some things I wish to address that people have brought to my attentions and i URGE all of you to please reblog this version of the post from here on out.

The program i use to organise the different pages in the right order is bookbinder’s collate. It costs around €10 from what I remember and is really easy to use but there are other free programs too.

I made this post when I was 17 and was yet unaware of the legality and history surrounding fanfictions. Fanfictions have had a VERY LONG battle, especially given that back in the certain Authors and creators of Original IPs would straight up sue fanfic authors for copyright reasons. Even today Fanfics are in a copyright greyzone, because you cannot make money off of them as the IP the fanfics are based on do not belong to you.

Because of this blindspot of teenage-me assumed downloading fanfics was illegal. So as many have pointed out since: Printing and Binding fanfictions is not illegal IF and ONLY IF you bind them for personal use (like in my case I bind them into physical books because I cannot look at any screen for a prolonged time due to some slight visual impairments) and do not make money from it.

However, I have since been made aware of a disturbing rise in etsy stores and even Amazon pages which SELL bound fanfictions which were more often then not, not even written by the Etsy-store-owner. THIS is in fact very much illegal and can endanger the fanfic community and everything we have fought for in the past.

Now I do not claim that this post of mine is at the root cause of this rise in etsy-fanfic-binders. This post does not have that many notifications in the grand scheme of things and has never even made its way outside of tumblr.

All that being said i still receive daily comments and tags and reblogs of this post of people saying “oh i am so gonna do this!” And “Oh I will now bind my favourite fanfics too” so i do feel like i have the moral obligation to make sure that whoever get inspired to become a bookbinder through this post, won’t use it to harm fandom culture and fanfiction as a form of art all in the pursuit of greed for money

HAPPY DRACULA DAY!!!

[sforzzz]

sorry we've got orders to protect the royal bloodline and can't risk any illegitimate children coming to claim the throne so you gotta wear this chastity cage until you get married. it's fine tho we gave the key to your loyal knight in case there's any emergencies they're totally trustworthy

[sforzzz]

your promised consort is currently in a faraway kingdom so you and your knight have to go on this long journey to get there, just the two of you. just be sure to do whatever he says he's trained for all this has your life in his hands. if there's any issues he'll know how to handle it and everything. remember you're not permitted to be around any woman who might throw themselves at you since you're a pretty boy prince, only the knight. you'll be sharing rooms at taverns and a tent if you have to camp out. it's fine tho.

Dashiell Hammett, who basically invented the noir genre (think: The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man) hung out enough in the queer scene in San Francisco in the 20s-30s that he picked up some contemporary queer lingo that he folded into his stories. In The Maltese Falcon, there’s a scene where the wildly gay-coded villain shows up at a meeting with a skinny little blonde with a bad attitude and a gun in tow, and detective Sam Spade tells him to “leave the gunsel outside” — gunsel being contemporary gay slang for a young, effeminate man who probably bottoms (from the Yiddish gansl, meaning gosling). Basically, he’s saying “I’m here to talk to you, not your twink.”

However, a lot of writers mimicking Hammett did not know gay lingo or Yiddish, saw the word “gun,” and assumed “gunsel” meant “scary bodyguard with a gun.” They took off with a word they didn’t understand and spread it so fast that it’s now basically impossible to read a noir story written between 1930-1960 without someone accidentally being called a twink at least once. Look out for it next time you’re reading Raymond Chandler or his ilk, I guarantee you’ll find it.

The diffusion of yiddish into American English and its media has some delightful and unintended results.
