Hey does anybody have any advice or know any tips? I've always wanted to know how to do something.

1. If you can avoid it, never call a business on the first day of the week it's open. Wait until at least 40 minutes after they're open on the second day. This waits out the first wave of frantic callers and gives whoever is on the phone time to grab a coffee and drink enough that they don't feel disturbed in their morning start-up ritual.

You'll spend less time on hold and reach more people with the time and patience to hear you out.

2. Take notes for phone calls. You can literally make a numbered check list of what you definitely want to bring up, and then during the call take down who you spoke to, at what date and what solutions/deadlines were promised.

This keeps you on topic without forgetting your priorities, and also gives you something to refer back to later.

The method of changing your duvet cover by rolling it onto the duvet was a huge help when I had low energy:

A rice cooker can also cook most frozen vegetables, as long as they're in small pieces, and can reheat precooked meats also in bite-sized bits. You can make a whole meal in around half an hour by dumping 1 cup rice, 2 cups liquid, and 1-2 servings of meat & vegetables in a rice cooker and hitting start. Use a flavored liquid, like broth, or mix in seasonings at the start, and you're good to go. Cubed carrots and sweet potato with canned chickpeas and yellow curry paste, for example. Frozen peas and pearl onions with shredded chicken and chicken broth.

Whatever you like.

Anne Rice on being a woman, the fear of walking alone at night, and some examples of how vampirism is her world affected that.

I see a beautiful gay man in the park and I say, "That man has my body". (...) I felt like a gay man in a woman's body. I knew when I was young, about twenty-four, that I wished I was a gay man. That was a common fantasy of mine. I felt that the physical response I had to men must mean I’m like a gay man. I identified with the way gay men talked about other men. I felt like an imposter as a woman. - Anne Rice, The Roquelaure Reader

kind of fascinating how a lot of people don’t really know how food works

[rubysapphrald]

saw a twitter video of a dude making like fried broccoli with bacon or whatever and everyone in the replies was going “can’t believe he took something healthy and turned it into poison!!!!” i don’t really know how to explain to you that you’re still eating broccoli, and the healthy nutrients do not magically leave the broccoli just because you fried it

How Food Works: Living Things are machines made up of tiny organic parts. Heterotrophs are Living Things which cannot photosynthesize and must acquire parts and fuel by eating other formerly living things. Human are heterotrophs. Some food tastes better when your body is craving those things, like fats and salts.

How People Think Food Works: eating is both a privilege and a test, and GOD will JUDGE you and SMITE you with UNHOLY FATNESS if you eat the BAD FOODS. girl you have to eat as little as possible because THE DEVIL IS IN THE CARBS but boy get tomahawk steak tomahawk steak tomahawk steak no salad salad has Girl Particles you get fat by eating fat everybody knows that
