Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

L'Odissea di Nolan tra "scheletri spazzatura" e relitti: Arpa al lavoro in Sicilia, che succede

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually

Tonight’s “something-out-of-nothing” meal

Will it be something, or will it be so repulsive that I can’t even (former) Catholic Guilt myself into eating it? Let’s find out!

The scraps:

Brown lentils

Boxed pasta

Cream cheese

Deli-sliced pepper jack cheese (leftover sandwich fixins)

Various seasonings & spices

Water

The process:

Cook the lentils. I used 1/4 of a cup and just fuckin boiled em on a single burner for twenty minutes. Strain, set aside.

Cook the pasta. Ideally you’d use something small-medium like elbows, penne, or (my personal favorite) gemelli, but whatever you’ve got is goin in the pot. Make… however much you think you’ll reasonably eat. Strain, set aside.

Throw some cream cheese into the pot on very low heat. Start with a modest amount (you can always add more later). Stir until it starts to melt a bit. Throw in two slices of that pepper jack that has been sulking in the minifridge alone and forgotten until this fateful eve. Keep stirring.

Throw some seasonings in there. I used garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a tiny bit of chili powder. Obviously if you have real onions, garlic, and peppers (especially if they’re about to go bad), those would be primo, but throw whatever you’ve got in the pot.

If the cheese starts to coagulate or stick to the pot, add a splash of water. Not too much, just a tablespoon or so. Keep stirring.

Once everything is combined, throw your lentils in there. If the lentils are drowning in the sauce, then you’ve probably got enough room for your pasta. If they’re not completely slathered, chuck some more cream cheese in there. If the sauce gets too thick, add some more water. Keep your seasoning in mind.

Turn up the heat just a SMIDGE, then add your pasta bit by bit, ensuring there’s enough sauce to cover anything. Like last time, if it looks like there’s not enough sauce, add some more cream cheese and follow up with water if things get too thick (coward). Keep stirring until everything is combined and roughly one temperature throughout. Plate and consume.

My completely unbiased and egoless verdict:

Pretty good! Definitely best when fresh and warm, but holds up in the microwave decently well. Obviously would be better with milk/cream and butter, but I shrimply don’t have any at the moment.

Is it something?

Certainly! 6.5/10

“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”
