URGENT HELP SAVE THE LIFE OF MY CHILD.

Dear mbrown65,

Please Help Me – My Son May Die at Any Moment.

I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉

Here’s my story, and I’m reaching out with a hopeful heart 💔✨, hoping someone will feel what my family and I are going through.

My son is suffering from a severe and life-threatening injury after being shot by Israeli drones. He urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.

Time is running out, and we are facing a critical situation. I am asking for your generosity to help us save him either through a donation or by sharing this urgent plea with others

I beg you, i kiss your feet, to help my son. My son may die at any moment.

I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too 🥺

Mohammed deserves to live a happy and healthy life, just like every other child on this earth.

Please Donate now:👇

I’ve decided that all bats fall somewhere on this horrid little graph I’ve devised. Here are some prime examples of the various Creature Varieties found in nature.

Hi OP no notes I just wanted to add some more guys because I have disorders

[weaver-z]

You’re so correct about all of these and it is our human right to be incredibly disordered about bats online. Thank you. Let’s go take ibuprofen together.

No matter how suspicious you might find the neighbor who never opens their blinds, they will never be as suspicious as the neighbor who wants free reign to peek in through people’s windows.

Reminder that people aren't entitled to see into your decision-making process unless you've agreed that they are. Just told a business acquaintance that I'd "just finished up my previous commitment". It's not their problem to know that it was DND.

Just to make sure no one schedules meetings on top of my D&D sessions, BUT ALSO to avoid any chance of my coworkers figuring out when I’m playing D&D, I always block sessions out on my calendar with the appointment title:

“Conflict Resolution Seminar”

It’s not a lie, I’m discussing with a small group how to resolve conflict. Not my fault that the answer is often violence.

[teaboot]

Bro I love you but if I saw in the communal calendar that one of my coworkers had attended thirty conflict resolution seminars over the last year then I would immediately assume they had committed innumerable acts of workplace violence and management was too scared to fire them

I hope Cass knows how iconic she is for this

Best bat!

Gwenpool be like: I am going to WIN at asexuality. I will be an omega-level asexual with aromanticism as my secondary mutation. They will put me on an episode of Death Battle, but, instead of fighting to the death, the challenge will be to see who is the most asexual - AND I WILL STILL SOMEHOW END UP KILLING MY OPPONENT.

some good designs for gender neutral public restrooms

Every future building that doesn’t design public bathrooms like this is wrong.

Challenge accepted.

First, let’s skip the charcoal. A cuisine is not based on food color. I feel like our primary flavor is a combination of Sweet and Bitter. This is common in all the most popular gothic drinks; Coffee, Red Wine, and Absinthe. It would favor elaborate, ornate, near Victorian presentation and plating.    People’s values are also expressed in food so I feel that handcrafting, niche and novelty, as well as authenticity would come through. Cooking methods would probably prefer open flame and aging.

So okay, with that in mind here are some ideas. 

All goths love a a Charcuterie: You eat it with a knife and it pairs well with wine and absinthe. Breads in dark Rye (discuss the argot they may have formed! #witchtrials) and cheeses cave aged - like bats. 

Nightshades and bitter greens salad: Some tomatoes and peppers come in black. Black tomatoes specifically will look very very similar to belladonna. A salad made with dark, bitter greens like radicchio or endive, and black cherry tomatoes is a great combination. Add a balsamic vinaigrette for some sweetness and acidity. Is my date giving me healthy salad or deadly poison? Either way I love them. Bon Appetite!

Charcoal-grilled aubergine: Aubergine (yes, use the fancy word) is already a deep purple and has a natural bitterness that can be enhanced by grilling it over charcoal. Technically eggplants also contain nicotine so I feel they will feature heavily.

Squid ink pasta: Hella people said it, so sure why not?

Dark Cherry and dark chocolate: Make a tart, serve as a sideboard with the absinthe, leave it as a gift on your dead lover’s grave. There are no bad options for this deliciously gothic and bittersweet treat.

Black rice and root vegetables: The first is black and is notable for being black and sometimes called “forbidden”. Sick. And the second can come in black, deep red, and purples. Also they’re totally under ground. Fire roast these. 

Candle Light: Not optional. If a meal comes on plates it comes with candles

Some more suggestions:

Rip open a pomegranate for a charcuterie centerpiece to evoke the Persephone Mythos, and (according to one infamous tumblr debacle) it's reminiscent of a gory heart

Actually, why stop at evoking a Heart? Chicken hearts are available at a ton of Asian and Hispanic grocery stores and are actually really easy to cook up quick (very underrated Low Spoons food!) and what's more Goth than eating an actual heart?

Depending on what Goth Subcultures you're part of, there's a lot of less-eaten organ and bone meats that are less-commonly eaten because they're not aesthetically palatable to Normies despite being delicious. Tongue, Liver, Kidney, eyes, intestines, genitalia and BLOOD are all staples of many cuisines worldwide and really make you think about the very goth nature of. There's Duck-Blood soup at my local polish place that is EXQUISITE.

Hell, if you really want to think about how you are eating a once-living thing, consider a whole-animal roast like Trout, whole duck, suckling pig or even Rabbit. Celebrate it's life by cooking it well, pick it's bones clean and Memento your own Mori.

Re: Candles: Agreed, if it comes on plates, it comes with candles, but consider your dishware too: Black is a classic and obvious choice, but consider jewel tones to pop against a dark tablecloth and provide some contrast to your food. You know how birds of paradise and sunset moths and a lot of other animals with SUPER dark pigmentation also have patches of intense color? Take if from a Biologist and Artist- Jewel tones make Blacks Blacker, like how moments of joy make the despair so much more intense.

You can also try gold-tone tableware to evoke that Dracula's-Golden-Cutlery literary motif!

Do you know what stone fruits, potatoes, asparagus, tapioca, Rhubarb and cashews have in common? They're all plants where only parts of it are edible, or they need to be cooked very carefully or they're extremely poisonous. Think about all you ancestors who took their lives into their hands figuring this out while you eat.

Granted, this last suggestion is more Punk than Goth, but I feel like it adds something to any cuisine: In the continental US and I think a good portion of Europe, almost everywhere has local farm co-ops and game-shares so you can eat in an environmentally friendly way that supports your community and is also HELLA fresh and doesn't go through the aesthetic screening that grocery store foods, and I feel like having some genuinely grotesque-looking produce on the table adds to the aesthetic.
