Here's the recipe directly from the tiktok in case anyone wants it!

POTATO, LEEK & BUTTER BEAN POT PIE Serves 6 INGREDIENTS: 3 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp olive oil 2 large leeks, halved, sliced and thoroughly washed (the dark green parts too!) 2 stalks celery, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 tsp dried thyme 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups vegetable stock 2/3 cup half-and-half 3/4 lb gold potatoes, cut into small cubes (smaller than mine in the video for best results) 3 (15-oz) cans butter beans, drained and rinsed 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste 2 (9-inch) pie crusts, homemade or store-bought 1 large egg, beaten INSTRUCTIONS 1) Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, leeks, and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until celery is soft and translucent. 2) Add garlic and thyme and sauté for another 30 seconds, or until fragrant. 3) Stir in flour until no dry patches remain, about 1 minute. Stir in vegetable stock and half-and-half, and season generously with salt and pepper. 4) Add potatoes and butter beans. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are mostly tender. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, and set aside to cool for 15-20 minutes. 5) Preheat oven to 425F. Roll out pie dough to fit in a deep 9-inch pie dish. Pour in filling, cover with top crust, cut a small vent, and crimp edges to seal. Brush with beaten egg. 6) Bake in preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until crust is deeply golden-brown. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

thinking fondly of this meme I made for a coworker years and years ago

[burins]

this is going around again and the tags are full of people talking about printing it out to put in their breakroom or cubicle or sending it to their coworkers, which fills me with great joy. vast diversity of professions represented also. zoos. labs. summer camps. restaurants. garden centers. libraries. schools. many reports from the brave warriors of assorted retail. a truth universally acknowledged: if there is a sign a customer will not read it <3 and they don't read emails either <3

Arkady Plastov - Village cyclist (1941)

[mamawasatesttube]

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

Western passport holders will never understand. To go anywhere with a third worlder passport like a Filipino one, you need your tax returns, certificate of employment, bank statements, marriage certificates, sometimes a recommendation from a citizen of the country you want to travel to, everything possible to prove that you have a job and a family at home and you're not planning to be an illegal immigrant, JUST to get hit with a rejection because the embassy didn't believe you had enough proof.

Did you have travel plans? Already booked the plane tickets and hotels? Fuck you, better hope they issue refunds (they don't).

[bloodmech]

Americans and Western Europeans will never understand how insanely hard and bothersome it's to travel anywhere with a weak passport, let alone immigrate.

You want to study abroad? Show us proof that there is a quadrillion dollars in your bank account. Oh, an average monthly salary in your country is $400 and you plan to work when you arrive? You can't do that, silly, a student visa only allows you to work 2 hours every third Wednesday, and if we find out that you're working a second more we will deport you.

You want to work abroad? Better be a programmer, then of course you are welcome. Doctor, scientist, white-collar or, god forbid, blue-collar worker? You can fuck right off, your visa application goes straght into trash.

But if you marry one of our first-world citizens, then fine, you can come. Because we can't upset them, after all, they are a real person, unlike you.

EU Advice to people who have friends in places with weak passports- go to your department of foreigners and ask for something that called Formal Letter of Invitation or something similar. It usually is called something similar and costs a few euro/whatever currency you have. It will not be more than a fancy coffee at Starbucks or such place.

You will have to prove that you can afford a guest, have some income and also usually take responsibility for possible deportation cost.

But if you really are inviting a friend over, they will give you a formal document you can send to your friend. Then the friend applies for a visa while attaching the Very Official document with it. They will get the Schengen visa and most probably will get it expedited too.

It's some effort, but if it's for a friend it's worth it. And it's way less costly than the ridiculous loops the friend is being forced to go through and pay for multiple 3rd party services just to get a freaking visa for a month.
