fandom events with compulsory editing, ludicrously strict deadlines, stupidly high word count requirements, and poor follow-through on supporting the content people create for said events, are bullshit. inaccessible bullshit that is no fun. no you cannot change my mind.

that there’s actual literal discourse about children on this website gives me hives

my friend, who is recovering from a concussion: and i made my workmates a cake so the ones who’ve been bitching about me behind my back during my recovery will feel bad

me, Mental Illness Champion 8 years running: there’s no nice way to say this, but the Neurotypicals don’t care about invisible illnesses and That’s Facts, babey

[badacts]

so i use facebook for work (advertising, connecting with clients, whatevs) which is fine but also i have to keep unfollowing 'friends’ for posting/sharing anti-vax stuff, or about how water fluoridation is poisoning our brains, or, my personal favourite, the current raw milk fad

[badacts]

i really don’t use tumblr enough to complain about my reasonably minor life problems. i should just come up with a tag so you can all blacklist it and then i’ll bitch all i like

[badacts]

so sometimes i get partway through a bottle of shampoo or conditioner and then become sensitive/allergic to it and it’s happened again and.....my scalp is so itchy :/

One thing that always makes me a bit peeved and a lot sad as a reader is dismissive attitude towards the reality of food preparation.

Everytime someone writes "he went to the kitchen and in a few minutes returned with a bowl of steaming hot, freshly cooked pork and lotus soup" or "I'm making caccio e peppe tonight, where did I put the rice?", a little piece of my soul dies.

Am I unnecessarily bitchy? Yes, I'm bitchy, but we all have pet peeves, and I love food, and I love the little people on the pages loving food, and if they use food as a love language or affection-signifying gesture, doesn't it deserve to be treated the least bit right?

I'm just saying, a good stew takes hours to make, you can't really make a good roast in less than half an hour, and any meat broth cooked for just a few minutes without the modern convenience of a pressure cooker is not even a boiled tasteless water, it's just water still struggling to even bubble.

That is not a declaration of love, and it's never gonna read as one to anyone who actually likes food.

And that just makes me sad.
