I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Tbh germ theory DOES sound crazy. Like if you told a regency-era nobleman that tiny creatures lived on the surface of everything and THAT’S what causes consumption, they’d be like “ah, I see you are a lunatic. Would you reside in my hermitage? Rantings and ravings do so amuse my guests”

[mysteryteacup]

But if you told a Medieval person this they would probably go "Ah, so when the miasma settles on surfaces it gains evil life. I understand."

[alarajrogers]

Yeah, actually, it would probably be pretty easy to explain germ theory to a Medieval person as tiny evil spirits that live on everything, but they can be purified by soap and water, or by alcohol, because that is why God has granted us those things. And because they can float in the air, if you cough or sneeze after they have infested you, that can cause them to infest others. And when you are sick, the angels God has deputized to defend the bodies of His beloved children are at war with the evil spirits, and, sadly, sometimes they lose, but the best way to help your angels win their battle is to rest, drink plenty (this would probably be small beer in this time period, not water, because the water was also infested), stay clean, and for the sake of God do not allow anyone to let your blood, for the angels need that blood in their war against the evil spirits. Bloodletting is good for some types of illnesses but not the kinds caused by the tiny evil spirits.

[chekhovs-raygun]

boiling as a sterilization measure is also easy to explain. water returns to the air when heated and it rises as steam back up to the floodgates of heaven; we know God created the world in seven days, He's not up there making more water every time it rains. it circulates. the returning of water to heaven also purifies the water of unclean and malign influences. you know wormy water from a muddy puddle will kill your kid. you know you wouldn't wade into a bog and have a slurp. water that remains in the low places of earth absorbs all that is unclean from our waste and it may also sponge up new diseases from hell, we're not totally sure about that one, but it seems likely. God set up the heavenly water cycle so that the earth's waters wouldn't totally fill up with gunk.

what does this have to do with boiling your surgical tools? well look, the boiling water releases bubbles of steam which carries the malign influences up to heaven. you boil a knife, you send all the miasmic particles off with the steam to heaven. if you rinse the knife off in a bucket the water isn't hot enough, the particles go into the water and then right back on to the knife. you gotta boil it to get the particles all the way away. how can a tool or rag or a bed have miasmic particles on it when you can't smell them? humans have a lousy sense of smell. look at your dog on the hunt. are there no rabbits in the woods just because you can't smell them? we know that miasma is carried on the air, and is what makes stench so dangerous, and we know that humans can't smell worth a damn compared to dogs cats horses etc. a dog can smell if a rat died in a corner of the room last week. you can't. do you think licking the spot where the rat died is going to go well for you? luckily, what humans lack in snout we make up for in brains. we have extra brains where our sniffers should have been. God set that up for a reason.

and why does a rinse with wine spirits work? man, look how fast alcohol evaporates. my guess is that because wine contains a lot more vice than water, it evaporates a whole lot faster, in sort of an equal and opposite way that a rock falls faster than a feather. if you want the miasmic particles to get off there FAST, you dunk it in something that's going back to heaven at a gallop.

what's up with honey? it just preserves things against corruption. doesn't clean them off. honey doesn't evaporate at all. probably because bees don't sin. it's not good for ridding a tool of particles-- it's sticky-- but fine for preserving anything you don't want to go to heaven OR hell. this is why you wash the wound with wine spirits or purified water FIRST, to sluice the miasma out, then slap the honey on AFTER. and boil the damn bandage, too. you wouldn't put a rotten door in a sound doorframe and expect it to keep out bandits, would you? cmon.

It's interesting to think about the intersection of these two facts:

Films reflect the time period in which they were made.

Our most popular films right now are all reboots, sequels, and reused IPs.

On one hand, you could make the case that our generation is being deprived of its place on cultural timeline, because (as far as the mainstream goes) all we're being given is rehashed ideas from other time periods. Seems rather boring to analyze.

But on the other hand, I think future film historians will find that this era is culturally fascinating. Not because of the "nostalgia bait" itself, but because it represents the emergence of independent cinema and streaming.

When TV was invented, people could watch filmed media at home. You no longer had to go to a theatre just to watch cartoons or comedies.

So the studios responded with a wave of epics in the 1950s. They said "Okay, you can get Dick Van Dyke at home, but you can't get Ben-Hur." Television couldn't compete with the budget, big name stars, or visual tech that film studios could offer. They were financially incentivized to blow your socks off with visuals and big name stars.

But with the emergence of streaming and independent film, that's no longer the case. A-listers are happy to take TV roles, and TV offers Hollywood-level visuals. You don't need to mess with the theatre system at all. It's easier than ever to make good-looking movies and share them with the masses with no major studio backing.

So what's the one thing that studios still have going for them? What's the one thing that Disney can give you that an independent filmmaker can't? Yoda. The Little Mermaid. Iron Man. Fucking brands. That's all they have, so that's all they sell.

We aren't being sold reboot after reboot because it's what the people want to see, or because our current culture is somehow more boring and lifeless than ever before. It's because it's the last stranglehold that these soulless studios have over the industry. They will shove your own childhood down your throat because their domination over previous generations is the one thing they have left to sell to this one.

is there anyone out there with a nyt cooking subscription

will they send me the chamomile tea cake with strawberry icing recipe

[alexseanchai]

This buttery, chamomile tea-scented loaf is a sweet pop symphony, the Abba of cakes. A pot of flowery, just-brewed chamomile isn’t required for drinking with slices of this tender loaf but is strongly recommended. In life and in food, you always need balance: A sip or two of the grassy, herbal tea between bites of this cake counters the sweetness, as do freeze-dried strawberries, which lend tartness and a naturally pink hue to the lemony glaze. This everyday loaf will keep on the counter for 3 to 4 days; be sure the cut side is always well wrapped.

Ingredients Yield: One 9-inch loaf ½ cup/115 grams unsalted butter 2 tablespoons/6 grams chamomile tea (from 4 to 6 tea bags), crushed fine if coarse 1 cup/240 milliliters whole milk Nonstick cooking spray 1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt 2 large eggs 1 large lemon 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1½ cups/192 grams all-purpose flour 1 cup/124 grams confectioners’ sugar ½ cup/8 grams freeze-dried strawberries

Preparation Step 1 In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon chamomile to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot melted butter over the chamomile and stir. Set aside to steep and cool completely, about 1 hour. Step 2 Use the same saucepan (without washing it out) to bring the milk to a simmer over medium-high heat, keeping watch so it doesn’t boil over. Remove from the heat, and stir the remaining 1 tablespoon chamomile into the hot milk. Set aside to steep and cool completely, about 1 hour. Step 3 Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with the nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper so the long sides of the pan have a couple of inches of overhang to make lifting the finished cake out easier. Step 4 Add the sugar and salt to the bowl with the butter, and whisk until smooth and thick, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, vigorously whisking to combine after each addition. Zest the lemon into the bowl; add the baking powder and vanilla, and whisk until incorporated. Add the flour and stream in the milk mixture while whisking continuously until no streaks of flour remain. Step 5 Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a skewer or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are OK, but you should see no wet batter), 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 30 minutes. Step 6 While the cake cools, make the icing: Into a medium bowl, squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from the zested lemon, then add the confectioners’ sugar. Place the dehydrated strawberries in a fine-mesh sieve set over the bowl and, using your fingers, crush the brittle berries and press the red-pink powder through the sieve and into the sugar. (The more you do this, the redder your icing will be.) Whisk until smooth. Step 7 If needed, run a knife along the edges of the cake to release it from the pan. Holding the 2 sides of overhanging parchment, lift the cake out and place it on a plate, cake stand or cutting board. Discard the parchment. Pour the icing over the cake, using a spoon to push the icing to the edges of the cake to encourage the icing to drip down the sides dramatically. Cool the cake completely and let the icing set.

[husborth-deactivated20241109]

darth nihilus being able to eat planets in legends drives me crazy. we know palpatine and dooku were planning the death star as early as AOTC, and palpatine had to have invested a ludicrous amount of resources into the project even before vader's actually, y'know, darth vader. but i'm imagining those early months where vader is absorbing sith history, sith dark magic, and palpatine is a sith as a path to power but vader was lured in specifically by the promise of learning powers that break natural law, y'know? he's a little evil college student hitting the books for his cult midterms, y'know? he also maybe wants to resurrect a couple important people he might have killed, it's whatever. but he's perusing palpatine's acquired sith library while palpatine gloats over the progress of his death star. very domestic for two despots. but vader's reading about darth nihilus. and then, y'know, he looks at the death star plans. and then he looks back at the ancient tome containing the history of darth nihilus. and after five minutes of mentally wringing his hands, he's like, "master, could we not have.... utilized the force..... to achieve this end?" palpatine spends several minutes monologuing about how the empire needs a symbol of strength and something concrete to fear and also he holds stock in the company the project was contracted to so fuck off and vader's just standing there, looking between the death star (that is not on schedule to be completed for nearly twenty years) and his silly little bedtime story about a sith lord who could eat planets for breakfast, convinced he could teach himself how to eat a planet faster than palpatine can get the death star finished. he is kind of irritated palpatine won't even let him try. so in ANH when vader bellows about the power of the force, this is an actual disagreement he's had with his boss, and vader's been annoyed about this for nearly twenty years now, because fuck you, he could totally eat a planet. don't underestimate his power. FUCK you

[sithpropagandist]

To be fair Nihilus was basically a slave to his hunger by the end of his life with possibly no real remnant of his conscious or personality left, only a Sith in the loosest sense of the word since he was going to one day become so hungry that he wouldn’t be satisfied with the Jedi and start consuming his own forces, inevitably seeking to eliminate all life and the universe itself before dying of his own hunger so it’s more a practicality than anything else for Palpatine…but Vader honestly might kinda be into that given his vague allusions to thinking of himself as the galaxies avatar of death and arbitrator of destiny. So yeah he’s still going to be jealous.

[husborth-deactivated20241109]

vader, in the middle of his elevator pitch about how palpatine should let him eat planets: it will save the empire trillions in costs and allow for—

palpatine: you do realize that lord nihilus lost his consciousness entirely and then proceeded to mindlessly devour all life in an endless procession through the galaxy? no political gain to be had, just complete emptiness, eating itself?

vader, trying not to reveal how much he thinks that rules: yes. but there is no reason to take it to the extent lord nihilus did. if it were targeted, controlled—

palpatine: are you actually suggesting a plan that relies on your self-control.

vader:

[husborth-deactivated20241109]

[whetstonefires]

this is extra funny because this is the dialogue every jedi who wants to use the Dark Side juuuuuuust a liiiiiiitle bit for a Good Reason has with some mentor figure but this places Palpatine in the role of Sensible Role Model Aware Of Consequences And The Deletrious Effects Of The Dark Side.

[husborth-deactivated20241109]

#i'm laughing so hard #he would want to be darth nihilus so bad

he really would!!!! i think sith should develop a sort of patron saint-esque idea surrounding dead sith lords, and there’s no way vader doesn’t latch onto nihilus as Peak Sith Ideology. vader himself is also consumed by agonies of the soul and desires boundlessly in a way that’s specifically impossible to satisfy - he can’t stop death, so he becomes it. vader would also like to leave his shambling corpse of a body behind and attach his consciousness to his mask and armor. nihilus is all-consuming fatalism personified. vader would eat that shit right up.

also extremest lol @ Sensible Role Model, Sheev Palpatine. i’ve been prodding at the idea for a while that vader’s honestly very into the fucked up sith magic and rituals side of sithing around, moreso than the galactic domination angle, but evil magic probably comes with a high cost and sometimes palpatine looks at his apprentice - who is in respiratory failure, kidney failure, liver failure, heart failure, has boss lightning-induced epilepsy, brain tissue that looks already zombified, the works - and has to try to get the guy to rein it in. sometimes palpatine has to step in to make sure vader doesn’t die through doing too much sith blood magic. he has to lose his status as the Fun Uncle for this

[kyraneko]

Palpatine really truly did go dangle fucked-up Sith rituals and power over life and death in front of the least self-regulated Jedi to ever float a fruit slice with the Force, and as a result he's spending the rest of his life attempting to apply brakes to Vader's ongoing desire to break the laws of physics to make himself better, a task made even more strenuous and difficult by the part where Palpatine resurrected him from a lava bath and told him he accidentally killed his wife, resulting in Vader adding hideous amounts of guilt and a perfectly reasonable desire to not be a living barbecued rib roast in a respirator suit to his already-formidable set of motivations and drives and goals.

Congrats, Palpatine, you chose the absolute WORST person to offer this power to and then you went and gave him more motivation. That's the worst anyone's ever done it. You're gonna be trailing behind this guy with your feet dug into the ground like a regretful cartoon coyote FOREVER. Have fun.

According to his daughter, Jordan Peterson is dying of some sort of neurological disease caused by ‘mold exposure’ or ‘spiritual attacks’ and apparently had been showing signs of a cognitive/neurological condition for YEARS. Not funny. Terrible way to go. Okay, it’s a little bit funny that the mold has been talking the whole time. What is very funny are the people in the comments suspecting he is the victim of some sort of leftist conspiracy to assassinate him. ANTIFA smearing black mold in his crawl spaces or something. We gave him some sort of inflammatory neurological disorder and permanent nerve damage, not the weird fad diets and alternative medicine bullshit he kept trying, not the medically induced coma. It was the haters.
