not naming names but some of you are so creative and talented it's an honor to have you in my phone

[dramatic-dolphin]

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.

more people need to actually pick a side

[psych-is-the-name]

yall need to pay attention to your surroundings more

[rebel13lion39]

When are you freezing cheese?!

[psych-is-the-name]

???I'm not???

[cannibalistic-cucumbette]

Thawed cheese? As opposed to???

[psych-is-the-name]

ok maybe there's some more common word for it, but I've only ever heard it as thawing

[minothtime]

you mean MELT??? as in MELTED CHEESE????? because it MELTS???????????

[psych-is-the-name]

No! Melting is completely different!

You just thaw it! And it makes this sound occasionally while it does!

[minothtime]

okay I'm gonna need you to explain what "thawing" a cheese means to you. is it bringing a cheese out lf the fridge and wait for it to be room temperature? is it heating it up so it's gooey and soft? i need to understand

[psych-is-the-name]

No the cheese isn't frozen or cold. I don't know what other way to describe it as other than thawing? It makes a noise occasionally and when it stops it's usually done thawing

[the-one-and-only-aroace]

What actual change happens to the cheese after it “thaws”

[psych-is-the-name]

it changes from an un-thawed to a thawed state

it's ready

good to go

[gardenoflava]

What process are you doing to thaw cheese. where do you keep the cheese such that it's not thawed. Which physical properties of the cheese change between thawed and unthawed

[psych-is-the-name]

ok I cant be the crazy one here. Nobody else thaws their cheese???

[ninja-pieking]

I thaw my cheese, but only if I get a block of the stuff, the sliced stuff is better for melting.

[psych-is-the-name]

THANK YOU!

also ill temporarily forgive you for the sliced cheese comment. but pre-sliced is a sin

[minothtime]

no no no i refuse to let this rest until i fully understand

so you. FREEZE the cheese? and then when you want to use it you. THAW it. that's what I'm getting from this conversation. is this correct??

also this might be important: what type of cheese are we talking about. cottage cheese? hard cheese? fake cheese (cheddar)? because i think i might be picturing the wrong type of cheese

[psych-is-the-name]

no like I said before you don't freeze the cheese! That just dries it out! And the type of cheese doesn't matter. You. Still. Thaw. It.

[minothtime]

What I don't understand is the PROCESS. like what is the ORIGINAL STATE OF THE CHEESE. is it just the state it is in when you buy it in the store. or is it cold. or is it room temperature. or is it warm.

and what is the exact process?? microwaving?? warm water??? just leaving it outside in room temp?????

please I seriously need to understand the PROCESS the cheese undergoes. if step-by-step instructions need to be spelt out then so be it but i really REALLY wanna know what's going on

[gardenoflava]

Can you like take a video of the cheese thawing from start to finish to demonstrate the sound it makes and the process of thawing cheese

[psych-is-the-name]

Unfortunately I can't. I'm at work right now, and I'm heading out on a trip in 2 days so I already cleared out my fridge so nothing'll spoil while I'm gone. But trust me I'd absolutely do that if I could. This is really frustrating and I GUARANTEE if you all saw it you'd immediately recognize what thawing cheese is. I seriously think I'm just unintentionally using a niche regional name for it which is causing all this confusion

[psych-is-the-name]

OK IM FUCKING BACK!

ill have you all know that the entire time I was gone i couldnt stop thinking about this so im DETERMINED to show you all not only WHAT thawing cheese is, but also what the SOUND is so i can FINALLY have an answer to my ORIGINAL GOD DAMN POLL

[psych-is-the-name]

i have nothing in my fridge and im tired rn from driving 6 hours so instead of going to the store i'm just gonna swing by my aunt's place and see if she has any cheese that needs thawing

gimme a few minutes

[psych-is-the-name]

ok looks like im just going to the store. video of thawing cheese when i come back

[psych-is-the-name]

now the question is will tumblr let me put a poll in the same reblog as a video?

the sound cheese makes when thawing is

Annoying

Pleasant

right wing handwringing over birth rates has always unsubtly been a combination of wanting more white babies/wanting control over women, so it's bothersome that the popular response to that is just pointing out the cost of living. "we Would be having more kids if you guys made some positive changes to society" and such. pronatalist sentiment is becoming so much more explicit that I don't think many self-styled progressives are ready to reconcile with the fact that many women simply do not want to have children. we already see how women are demonized for refusing to undertake the thankless burdens of their mother and grandmother's generations lol, I can't imagine how full abdication from child rearing will come across to some people.

I can't even see "we Would be having kids" as a strategic approach to get conservatives to consider advocating for a higher quality of life considering that they truly could not care less if you, specifically, are poor. it's true that more couples would have kids if it was cheaper, but that will not be enough for these types until women's subservience is codified. even now, they consider the lack of child rearing in today's insane society to be a matter of selfishness. they view themselves as completely different animals than you. they have and will continue to advocate for more advantages for people of their specific backgrounds and income brackets to reinforce this lol.

[communistkenobi]

I think this rhetoric also ignores that the right wing want the inverse for Black and brown people - this logic of “raise living standards and we’ll have more kids” is a white perspective that ignores white supremacist medical violence, forced abortions, forced sterilisation, mass deportations, mass incarceration, police murder, imperial aggression, and forced removal of children from families as institutional programs of population control (Canadian residential schools, for example, were built for this exact purpose).

Increasing white birth rates is only one half of the equation for the right wing, and this raising-living-standards rhetoric fails to address this completely. Even in the outlandish scenario where the right wing accepts this logic and institutes robust welfare programs, do people think the state will offer these things to black, brown, and indigenous people? In any scenario where this happens it would just be Aryan UBI

good: i dont like radical feminism because it declares porn and kink to be unilaterally bad

better: i dont like radical feminism because it declares the systemic issues in porn production to be the fault of porn itself and not the production companies and kink to be unilaterally bad by a moral standard that is set by the radical feminists themselves

best: i dont like radical feminism because it declares the systemic issues in porn production to be the fault of porn itself and not the production companies, which is a problem that arises because sex has an inelastic demand and lack of regulation in the porn industry means sex workers and actors have virtually no labor rights. they also presume "sexual deviancy" and kink to be unilaterally bad by a moral standard that is set by the radical feminists themselves which is reliant on the inherently misogynistic assumption that any woman who willingly engages with things they deem amoral must have something wrong with them for enjoying those things

I know myself well enough to know I would not be very good at fanbiding and that would mainly frustrate me, so while I love fan binding and admire those who do it, I've never dabbled.

I have never regretted that decision more than I did waking up from the dream I recently had, where I excitedly bought a rare copy of the novel that Goncharov (1973) was based on, opened it up, and found that it was a hollowed out "book safe" for keeping valuables in.

[greaseonmymouth]

@copperbadge were you looking for the Goncharov novel ?

I tracked down a copy of this invaluable classic and somehow got my hands on a near pristine copy secondhand from the 4th printing. It’s lost the dustjacket, alas, but that means I got it for like £5 and not the £4200 a first edition printing in fine condition goes for.

(Who’s the author? *looks at smudge on spine* uhhhh Mkkhill Montanann)

It looks right at home in my bookcase 🥰

Under the cut: a look inside at what the book holds:

Just kidding.

It holds only the air of regret and disappointment.
