BUT, I am concerned that many of you might actually think that the salad was named for Caesar Augustus and not the Italian/American chef Caesar Cardini who fled to Tijuana, Mexico to avoid prohibition in California and ended up creating the Caesar salad there on the forth of July in 1924.
I just…wanted to share that with you in case you didn’t know. 👀
Notice: on the Ides of March, 2024, I am scheduling this post for 4 July, 2024, in order to celebrate the Centennial of Caesar Cardini's simple, yet genius, culinary invention.
okay, so espaliers are beyond sexy, they are so unbelievably productive
The basics are just... pruning growing trees so they are more 2 dimensional, usually placed against walls. It takes a few years to form/ raise, but they are much easier to maintain than free growing trees in the long run.

Not only is it more accessible, easier to harvest fruit, but the design has a double purpose; the walls hold and release heat that can keep warm-weathered plants alive during Northen winters!
We are being told to eat local and seasonal food, either because other crops have been tranported over long distances, or because they are g
There are people who use this method to grow avocado, fig, etc trees outdoors without electricity in -20C weather.
A similar technique to espalier can be used to grow furniture without killing the tree!
One time, I had a dream that I was making peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, and most of them were the regular measurements in cups and stuff. But at the end of the recipe, instead of saying “2.5 cups of chocolate chips” it said “627 chocolate chips.”
So when I woke up, I made some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. And instead of measuring out chocolate chips, I counted them (and suffered a lot of odd looks from my family for it).
Well, it turns out that 627 chocolate chips is the amount that the recipe called for (2.5 cups). Not only that, but 627 was the exact amount of chocolate chips that we had left in the house.
Activated charcoal “flushes out” orally ingested medication. This is why it can “flush out” E pulls and birth control pills. It cannot “flush out” injected T or E, it cannot “flush out” a depo shot, and it does not impact it if you use something like T gel or patches.
You should only be careful if you take medication orally! Which is still a lot of people and important to know. But it does NOT impact anything that’s not orally ingested!
No one ever tell me anything bad about the person who runs this account.
the person who runs this account, Katie Gouldin, is an evolutionary biologist who has an EXCELLENT podcast called Creature Feature which compares and contrasts the weird behaviors of man and beast! she is super cute and funny too!
We said this before but it bears repeating every day: calling for a ceasefire is futile when you don't call for states to stop arming Israel.
How do you expect Israel to cease its violence (which is currently taking place across at least 4 countries in the region) while its supply of weapons continues to flow in?
Me: I guess I was technically homeless for awhile as a kid, but we weren't, like, really homeless? After we got evicted from our rental house, we had to stay in a small industrial warehouse that was being rented for storage by some family friends. Like, it sucked, and I wasn't allowed to go outside, and it was a huge secret I had to keep from everyone at school because my parents were terrified I'd be taken away by CPS, and if the cops or property owner had found us we definitely would have been in trouble, but, like. We had a roof over our heads. Does that count as homeless? I dunno.
My friends who have genuinely never been homeless, ever: ....that is not normal, holy shit!?!?!?!?!
Me: ...okay so I guess I was homeless, then.
Anyway, this is a reminder that homelessness encompasses more than just "lives in a box under an overpass." Like, yes, that is definitely a real experience with homelessness, but it isn't the only one. Homelessness can look like couch surfing, living in your car, living illegally in a rented storage unit, living in a tent at a campground, living in a motel room, or any number of other things.
(Also, impostor syndrome around homelessness is just about the weirdest feeling in the world, tbh. The "was I suffering enough to say I was suffering?" thoughts are eternal.)
We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.
Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.
Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.
And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.
How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.
I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.
I'm thoroughly dissatisfied with the current state of the world and constantly confused with how others aren't either. How are you alright with living in this reality? How are you content with continuing to participate in the mechanics of what makes this reality as what it is? How are you ok with continuing the farce? I don't care who you vote for. My question is how are you not thoroughly disgusted? Everyday I'm dismayed at the realization that this world is so messed up and that there needs to be such dramatic change for anything to get better. I don't understand how others aren't also dismayed.
Some 40,000 Israeli companies have closed their doors since October, amid expectations that the number will rise to 60,000 by the end of the
Tourism has been severely impacted by the war with almost non-existent foreign tourism, along with the decline in national mood.
“The damage in combat zones is more serious, but the damage to businesses is across the country, with almost no sector spared,” Amir noted.
He pointed out that “the damage is very great in all aspects for the Israeli economy,” explaining that “in the end, when companies close their doors and do not have the ability to repay debts, there is also peripheral damage to customers, suppliers and companies that are part of its working system.”
“Apart from companies closing their doors, there has been a sharp decline in corporate activity in various sectors since the beginning of the war,” he added.
Amir confirmed that in a recent opinion poll, about 56 per cent of commercial company managers in Israel said there had been a significant decline in the cope of their activities since the beginning of the war.
“We estimate that by the end of 2024, it is expected that about 60,000 companies will close in Israel. For comparison, in 2020, the year of the Corona crisis, about 74,000 companies were closed.”
He pointed out that Israeli companies face “very difficult challenges represented by a labour shortage, declining sales, a high interest rate environment and high financing costs, transportation and logistics problems, a shortage of raw materials, and inaccessibility to agricultural lands in combat zones, as well as the lack of customers involved in combat, flow difficulties, and increases in acquisition costs.”
