apparently my boss who is a professor at my school doesn’t have a cell phone and his coworkers were upset by this so they bought him a childs toy phone and labeled it “David’s jitterbug” (for those of you that don’t know jitterbugs are phones made for old people that have like massive buttons and shit) so the other day I walked into his office to ask him a question and he pressed a button on it which made it start loudly playing the ABCs and he said “excuse me I have to take this” and then started singing along to the ABCs while shooing me out of his office

this is the phone. he apparently was in the middle of a meeting with the department the other day and got annoyed so he pressed a button, said “I have to take this” and left

every time this post comes across my dash I am overcome by the sheer power

always sad how much chinese food has to advertise itself as no msg because of basically a racist misinformation campaign. bring back the msg i unironically want it. i want it to taste good. i would go to a place that proudly advertised its use of msg no fucking problem

[batfam-bro]

For those who don’t know. MSG is just seaweed extract. It’s a racist campaign to make us scared of seaweed. And it makes food taste better. Some of y'all scared of tasty seaweed cause you believe racists.

All the people in the notes claiming to suffer from/have relatives with MSG allergies are utterly playing themselves because MSG allergies are a myth. Any sensitivity you think you have to MSG’s is coming from a different ingredient in the product, or is placebo.

[0zzysaurus]

Screenshots from the Healthline article if people can’t open the link. It’s not hard to find information that supports this all across the web as well.

You’re not likely to experience any sort of sensitivity to MSG in regular amounts that you would find in food.

It’s more likely that if you do experience sensitivities or allergies, it’s because of something else in the product.

MSG is quite literally as harmless to you as table salt. Stop being racists and start actually enjoying the food available to you.

Also just a reminder that it stands for MonoSodium Glutamate. As in, each molecule contains: 

one (1) sodium ion - yes, the same kind that forms one half of table salt, sodium chloride - which is arguably the most abundant ion to exist in the tissues of virtually every living thing on the planet.

one (1) glutamate ion, the conjugate of glutamic acid (read: identical except for one hydrogen), which is one of the standard amino acids which make up proteins and is by far the most abundant neurotransmitter in literally every animal with a nervous system. For context 100g of 80% lean ground beef contains 3.858g of glutamic acid alone (equivalent to the amount contained in about 4.434g of MSG, factoring out the weight of the sodium and the lost hydrogen).

Most of the foods you think taste good already do because they already contain a fuckload of MSG you just didn’t know about.

I need clear instructions for every small task and conversation in my life or else I embarrass myself but it’s okay I’m handling it fine

im getting really into real life right now it has become one of my obsessions

[andthentheywilleatthestars]

2014 Tumblr wasn’t about whatever Tik Tok thinks it was about. 2014 Tumblr was about overanalyzing Captain America: The Winter Soldier and that one website that let you play Cards Against Humanity online

btw being excessively nonconfrontational is NOT a positive trait. it does not mean u are “too nice” or just too kind to hurt people, it means u have a problem communicating and you need to work on it.

[mallk-z]

There are people in the notes saying that the alternative reason is that they’re doing it because of trauma and i gotta say that

1) same. I did have this same problem and reason for doing it.

2) this is not actually an alternate reason. You guys also have a problem communicating and while you can trace exactly WHY you have trouble communicating that doesn’t mean it’s okay to treat everyone like they’re potentially your former abuser and that you DO still need to work on this.

[queeranarchism]

‘This behavior comes from trauma’ and ‘This behavior is harmful to you, to others and to your relationships with others’ are two truths that can co-exist, and that do co-exist quite frequently.

idc anymore i think we should be a burden to each other

[sawasawako-archived]

and yes this includes a certain degree of tolerance for emotional burden, all else being equal. my love for you, and loyalty to you, is not dependent on how easy you make it for me to love you. i don’t value you for how little trouble you cause me. i want to learn how to take you for who you are, instead of who i want you to be or who i think you should be
