If I ask if a food is spicy at all, and you reply “No, not at all! You can barely feel it!” then that is a contradiction. It is spicy. It may not be very spicy, or even moderately spicy, but it’s still spicy. Please just tell me that straight-out.

I know there’s a good chance you’re mocking me in your head when I say that I cannot handle spices at all, and that even the mildest of sauces, that you insist are barely there, are going to hurt, because I’m mocking me too. I know I’ve got a child’s palate when it comes to spicy food. I know it’s almost laughable, how badly I react to even table pepper in more than the most minuscule of doses.

But if I ask “is this spicy,” and you answer “not at all,” and then proceed to tell me that it’s mild, then I will still consider it too spicy.

If I ask “is this spicy at all” and you say “no” while knowing that it is, just a tiny bit, because you can’t imagine anyone reacting, then please don’t be offended when I take one bite and then throw it out, because I asked for a reason.

It’s a dumb thing to talk about, but… yeah. Just do your cannot-handle-spices friends a favor and be honest when they ask. Mild is still a level of spice.

(This goes doubly for strangers, because if they have a digestive problem like, IDK, ulcers or something, then spicy food can irritate the stomach lining further and cause extreme pain. Some people claim that capsaicin can be used to treat ulcers, but you know… just play it safe, yeah?)

[bettsplendens]

Let people be babies about spices! It doesn’t hurt you any. 

[randomslasher]

This is important. 

Food doesn’t taste the same to everyone. There are scientific reasons that some people might be able to tolerate ‘mild’ spice and others might not. If someone tells you they are sensitive to spice, that doesn’t mean they’re experiencing what you experience when you eat those foods. It means that for them, it feels far different. It hurts. 

My partner is super sensitive to spice. She calls herself a ‘spice wimp,’ which I hate, because there’s nothing wimpy about not wanting to suffer through horrible burning sensations in your mouth. Which is what she has to suffer, when someone tells her something “isn’t that spicy” when in fact it is. 

This isn’t about flexing.This isn’t about being tough. This is about acknowledging that the chemical and anatomical composition of someone else’s taste receptors is different than yours, and you need to be sensitive to that. 

I’ve learned to detect even the smallest amount of spice, so I can tell her if something is probably safe for her to eat or not. I’ve learned that the tiniest burning sensation to me means something is going to cause her physical pain. I’ve gotten better at identifying which foods will be okay and which will not. And you know what? I’m able to do it without being a dick about it. It has nothing to do with who’s’ tough and who’s a wimp and everything to do with the fact that her nerves process spice differently than mine do. 

She’s not a wimp, and she’s not a baby. She’s just someone whose DNA doesn’t let her eat spicy foods the way someone with my DNA can. That’s all. 

[acontentquarter]

yes!! I feel really shitty about being unable to handle food spicier than kfc strips so I’d be grateful if people were mindful of that💞

[spillybun-deactivated20190921]

Also someone might have sensory issues, and liking or disliking spice has nothing whatsoever to do with race 👍

to add onto this

I do actually really like spicy food! it tastes great and I’m much more willing to experiment around with spicy foods than I’ve been as a picky kid.

but the issue here is:

my body doesn’t like it.

my digestive system is pretty bad at the best of times, and it gets even worse when I eat spicy food.

just cause someone can EAT spicy food doesn’t mean that their stomach and intestines are gonna thank them later.

so if someone says “Yeah, I don’t do well with spicy food”, take them serious, no matter if it’s them being unable to stand the taste of it, because it causes them actual physical pain, ruins their digestive system, or gives them heartburn so bad they constantly feel like they’re gonna puke

[fierceawakening]

I am all about the spicy foods but it costs me zero dollars to not be a rancid cheesedick about it.

[ms-demeanor]

Here’s my deal: I have no idea what counts as “not spicy.” I’m sorry. I just don’t know. I get a creamy basil pasta sauce and it’s too spicy for my sister. If I switch from a shake of black pepper to a shake of white pepper on eggs it’s too spicy for my cousin.

Neither of these things register as spicy *AT ALL* to me. In fact I consider the creamy basil sauce to be kind of a cool-down food after eating spicy sausages.

So I promise I 100% do not want to fuck with you, I just don’t know what you mean by spicy. If I don’t have a floor for comparison there’s no way I can honestly answer that question so if I ask “what counts as spicy to you” please tell me. I’m not gonna be mean if ketchup is too spicy for you (I know someone who can’t handle ketchup! It’s okay! NBD!), I’ll just have a better handle on whether or not you can have this food.

name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not 

ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think 

needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work 

[travelingstargazer]

White people specifically need to reblog this, I don’t CARE if it makes you uncomfortable–that’s the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE

Just a reminder that even though she makes silly videos on YouTube, this girl also has a masters degree from a top rate university.

[sexhaver]

remember when Hillary said she always had hot sauce in her bag after Formation released and everyone was making fun of her for desperately trying to appeal to the youth and not realizing that Beyonce didnt mean literal hot sauce in the song and then some Hillary stan blog crawled out of the woodwork and pulled out receipts proving that she has in fact habitually kept a literal bottle of hot sauce in her purse dating back to at least the early 90s

Snowing at sea

[thecryptocreep]

Why do I never think about the possibility of snow on the ocean??? Now I see why, because it’s too ethereal

[crimepit-deactivated20200606]

guys listen

mermaids would have to be dark-skinned and chubby to survive in the ocean 

water isnt a great means of protecting oneself from the sun theyd have to be very dark if they were shallow mermaids and they didnt want to be constantly sunburnt and they may be paler if they lived deeper in the water but theyd have to be buff and/or chubby as hell to resist the water pressure and cold of the deep sea

what im saying is pale-ass white skinny mermaids are just unrealistic

[anxious-bi-bb-deactivated202006]

I love this tea

[asundergrowth]

Fat isn’t a defense against water pressure, it’s an insulator. So the colder the water, the fatter the mermaid.

Scandinavian merfolk would be tubby, evolving more for persistence hunting in the freezing coastal waters, possibly relying more on siren-song to lull prey into effective range. The less moving the better! Gotta keep the chub on to survive the winter.

Whereas Mediterranean/Polynesian merfolk would spend their time among the fertile reefs in warmer waters, competing with other predators. They would be built for speed and agility, buff like sprinters. Darker skin would be harder to spot under the surf, and more resistant to the glaring sun.

Also: it’s not hair, it’s scillia that they use to filter plankton out of the water, and it stings like a jellyfish if you touch it.

I would imagine that merfolk come in many different colors, maybe they even have the ability to shift their skin tone to assist in hunting? I guess that depends on how intelligent your mermaids are.

Tldr; cold water mermaids would probably be chubby, warm water mermaids would look like Serna Williams.

[theofficialvincenzo]

Another thing to take into account is Deep-Sea-Gigantism. It’s not fully understood why many animal species such as the colossal squid and whales typically grow to unimaginable sizes in high-water-pressure areas, but it’s assumed that it develops as some sort of defense mechanism. This would imply that deep-sea merfolk would be a sort of Leviathan-class eldritch horror.
