Sea salt, garlic, rosemary and black pepper banish evil. They also season chicken.
Or perhaps it is the evil in the chicken we must defeat?
This is why chicken soup is one of the most powerful potions you can make.
All I can think of is that white people suck so much because they donât season their chicken enough to get the evil out.
fun tip for cis people: instead of saying âback when she was a heâ or âback before [birthname] became [preferred name]â, try not being a pile of shit by saying something like âbefore she came outâ or âbefore she began her transitionâ!
Pls friends and thanks.
âbefore she came outâ is so easy and preserves so much dignity, PLEASE
Iâve been wondering the best way to say this. Thank you.Â
also if their transition is irrelevant to the story, donât bring it up! just say âwhen X was a kid/ younger/ in college/ etcâ and carry on using their current name and pronouns.
That last point is very important! DO NOT OUT ANYONE! Do not bring up their trans status or transition unnecessarily! And you trying to look more interesting/cool/whatever by having a trans friend does not count as âneccessaryâ!!
Hey, billionaires!
Stalinâs ghost is trapped inside the Siberian permafrost.
If we donât reverse climate change and soon, the ice will melt and release his spirit back into the world to enact Vengence and Communism!
Only you can stop the rise of Ghost Stalinism!
If I know 3 things rich people are scared of, itâs taxes, communism, and ghosts.
Youâre halfway towards an exciting new Christmas Carol reboot
Ocelot scritches.
that kitten sounds like a birb
âGrowing up as a bi kid in the 2000s I heard a lot of homophobic jokes about Republican men being closet homosexuals, so I canât tell you ho

the fact that hamilton, which is arguably one of the biggest pieces of media in the past decade, is getting a professional release is a big deal. this is a huge step for making theatre more accessible for everyone.
like, for $10 (the average price of a movie ticket) you could watch the proshot of hamilton, with the original broadway cast. you could see the original broadway cast of hamilton for $10 dollars. youâre literally paying a hamilton to see hamilton. and you donât need to worry about sitting in a rear mezzanine seat or having an obstructed view, since itâs a proshot.
and, since disney is producing it, theyâll most likely release it on DVD or on disney+ in the future. this is a huge step forward in making accessible theatre. you could watch hamilton multiple times a week (or multiple times a day!) for a low price.
Itâs unfortunate that this is a Disney release, but I need to ask a favor of every person who wants to watch it:
DONâT PIRATE. PAY THE TEN BUCKS.
Musical theatre aficionados have been fighting for YEARS for this to be a regular thing. As far as I know, itâs only been done a handful of times: the final performance of RENT, the 10th and 25th anniversaries of Les Mis, the 25th anniversary of Phantom of the Opera, and there are a few âon a stage but reblocked and edited for videoâ shows like Cats, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar 2000, and Into The Woods. We have been FIGHTING for general releases of shows. This is an actual theatre industry thing.
You may notice something about the shows I listed above: only three of them arenât Andrew Lloyd Webber shows. Love him or hate him, heâs a huge advocate for the idea that theatre should be accessible and preserved for the historic record; he actually arranged for a proshot of Love Never Dies on the basis that he was pretty sure it WASNâT going to be playing for very long, and future theatre fans who wanted to see it for any reason should have access to it. Webber has been in this industry since 1969. When a man with that kind of resume says âyes, this needs to be a thing,â itâs a fair bet he knows a thing or two of what heâs talking about. Itâs one reason I love Webber: yeah, some of his shows are kind of questionable quality, but heâs on the fansâ side here.
(Also, I feel the need to defend him against the new CATS. He arranged the 1998 stage-but-edited version that was pretty good. He was PISSED about the 2019 version long before it was released.)
So basically: if youâre not a Webber fan, youâre screwed. If you ARE a Webber fan but you also want to see cool stuff like the bilingual version of West Side Story or the production of Fiddler on the Roof that was partly in Yiddish, youâre screwed. If you want to see cult classics that werenât around long, like Spring Awakening or Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark (or, for the REALLY obscure: Chess or Bat Boy), youâre screwed. If you want to see shows that were reasonably successful but require a huge budget and so donât get put on often, like Aida and Little Shop of Horrors, youâre screwed. If you want to see shows that require a budget SO huge that no community theatre no matter how well-endowed will ever be able to afford them, like Wicked? YOUâRE SCREWED.
I am begging you. BUY HAMILTON. DONâT PIRATE. This is a fight 30+ years old and buying it will help demonstrate that YES, there is an entire audience outside New York ready and willing to buy in; YES, itâs worth the outlay of cash to do these recordings and mix and edit them; and, and understand I am saying this as a Webber and Les Mis fan, RECORDINGS THAT ARE NOT LES MIS OR ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER ARE WORTH RELEASING.
Help us fight the good fight and make professional theatre available to everyone. BUY HAMILTON. DO NOT PIRATE. YES, EVEN THOUGH ITâS A DISNEY RELEASE. YES, EVEN THOUGH NON-PROFESSIONAL RECORDINGS EXIST.
This is important. As a theatre advocate I cannot stress HOW important. If you follow me, you know Iâm all in favor of things like streaming services and breaking up the Disney monopoly. But in this, my loyalty has to lie with a fight I joined in 2005 that was going on when I was still smelling markers in kindergarten.
If you have any interest in seeing Hamilton, no matter how casual, buy it. Please.
(And while youâre at it: support your local community theatre. Most community theatres put on great shows on a very tiny budget and could, I say this totally unironically, use your $5-10 donation. It adds up and it helps keep the lights on.)
i miss italian elon muskÂ
this is objectively the funniest thing to ever come out of twitterÂ
let us not forget french elon musk
Honestly tho, thatâs really pretty
Iâve never ONCE seen one of these and not being just likeâŠabsolutely riddled with tension, so. Keep passing them around, I guess!
Needed that, thanks. đđ»
being gay is just like. damn it tattoos are expensive. damn it piercings are expensive. damn it getting your hair dyed professionally is expensive. damn it combat boots are expensive. damn it therapy is
i have an image i made last night while Not Sober thatâs technically accurate but it mentions 9/11 so i will show it to you but youâre not allowed to get mad at me if you think itâs insensitive for mentioning 9/11
this image is accurate but i hate that i know that
Im so confused
gerard way personally witnessed the twin towers falling while on a ferry to new york city. this event inspired him to start my chemical romance. as a result, stephanie meyer used him and the bandâs music for inspiration for twilight. as a result of that book, el james wrote a twilight fanfic that eventually became the best selling book fifty shades of grey.

Listen, listen, hereâs a thing⊠you donât have to have ADHD in order to use ADHD life hacks if they will make your life easier. Executive Dysfunction, regarless of cause, is a mother fucker that will ruin your life and make you utterly miserable, so if something helps? Good! I am so glad for you! Please do the thing! Life is hard enough as it is without giving ourselves extra invisible hurdles to jump.
So if youâre struggling? Please allow yourself to be kind to yourself. You deserve it, no matter what society may have conditioned you to think. You are allowed to not always be struggling. You are allowed to rest, and make things in your life easier. Itâs not a sign of weakness. Itâs a sign of self care and adaptivbility, and those things are to always be commended.
Reminder that neurodiversity is a spectrum, not binary. There will be some neurotypicals who have non-neurotypical traits and need help with those traits. Itâs valid and perfectly reasonable, not âappropriationâ or whatever utter bullshit Iâve seen some people saying to adopt the relevant coping mechanisms to help with them. And Iâm saying this as an autistic, ADHD and OCD person. (Basically you should listen to thebibliosphere for she is wise).
Reminder that neurodiversity is a spectrum, not binary.
Yes! Thank you!
And it was exactly someone asking me if it was appropriation to use ADHD life hacks if they didnât have ADHD that prompted me to write this. It is not appropriation to adopt good mental health practices, if anything, please normalize these things! The human experience is brief and fleeting, if using an ADHD life hack will make your experience a little easier and give you more time for rest and happiness, for the love of yourself, do it.
I was trying to think of what appropriating* from ADHDers would even look like, and then I realized: fidget spinners.
And the problem wasnât neurotypicals using fidgets. It was neurotypicals not understanding how to use them as tools. It was neurotypicals using fidgets in ways that disrupted class with the fidgets, which led to them being banned in classrooms.
It was neurotypicals using them in a way that negatively affected ND folks who needed them.
Contrast that with bullet journaling, a system developed by ADHDer Ryder Carroll as a way of helping him deal with his ADHD. Bullet journaling is now widely popular, and plenty of neurotypicals folks do it.
And thatâs awesome, because bullet journaling can be a good system for anyone, regardless of neurotype. Itâs awesome that the widespread popularity of the system contributes to good bullet journaling notebooks and helpful extras being readily available. Itâs awesome that a simple internet search turns up so many ideas for bullet journal layouts. Itâs awesome that Ryder Carroll is able to sell books on the method.
Strategies for dealing with ADHD arenât a limited resource, and youâre not taking away from us if you make a sticker chart or you focus better if you bring your knitting to class or you never go anywhere without your bujo. Just donât be a jerk about it and ruin it for the next person.
*Iâm not sure I love the term appropriation here, because I donât think this is equivalent to like. White people dreadlocks. But I canât think of a better term, so.
Would co-opting be a better word? I think that might work better when it comes to things like NT people taking fidget spinners and using them to create distruptions and getting them banned, thus negatively affecting ND people who would benefit from being able to use them.
When non-disabled (or I guess neurotypical) people benefit from something intended for disabled/neurodiverse people, itâs called the âcut curb effectâ, after how those sidewalk things for wheelchair users also benefit eg people with strollers or if youâre hauling around a wheeled suitcase or something.
In general if youâre taking resources away from people who need it, thatâs bad, but if your usage doesnât harm other people itâs fine or maybe actively good. (Eg more demand â> cheaper/more widely available product.)
Some things that are for disabled people should definitely not be used by non-disabled people. Handicap parking spaces come to mind.
I canât think of a âlife hackâ that would be inappropriate for non-disabled/neurotyical people to use.
It is a pet peeve of mine when âspoonsâ gets used out of context (in particular, activist spaces sometimes throw around the term as though *everybody* has limited spoons.) (To clarify, my impression is mental health spoons can be a thing, and itâs not really something you can call other people out on, because when someone does have spoon issues itâs usually not obvious.)
Just to chime in with the spoon thing, the author of spoon theory, Christine Miserandino, wants the terminology and way of thinking to be normalized and used so that NT and able-bodied/healthy people begin to better understand the idea of personal limits vs âsocietal expectations of normalityâ (i.e. if youâre not working yourself to death, youâre not trying hard enough.) It is the hope that getting more people to understand both their own physical and mental capacity for coping, will help them to understand the personal limitations and boundaries of ND, disabled and chronically ill folks.
Because at the end of the day, everyone does have limited spoons, some just have a much higher starting capacity than others and havenât found that limit yet. But that doesnât mean they wonât. As it is, most NT and able/bodied people only find that limit once theyâve already hit the Wall and harmed themselves in some way through continaully pushing their limits and disregarding their own personal well being for the sake of trying to conform to societal expectations that value productivity and âusefulnessâ to the point of toxicity, and ties that perception of productivity to the idea of personal value. And we need to break free of that shit, for all our sakes.
Someone please explication spoon theory Iâm confused
Spoon theory was a concept thought up by Christine Miserandino, who came up with the idea when attempting to explain how chronic illness affects her daily capabilities to a friend who was otherwise well meaning, but who really didnât âgetâ why Miserandino always had to cancel plans. You can google the full story, but in short and to paraphrase:
Miserandino and her friend were standing in a kitchen space discussing Miserandinoâs disabling chronic illness, and in an attempt to explain to her friend why she had limited energy, she grabbed a handful of spoons and handed them to her friend and said âimagine each spoon represents a task, and every time you want to complete something you need to hand me a spoonâ which her friend thought, okay, easy, this will be a fun game! Which was when Miserandino began to break things down for her.
Getting up required one spoon. So her friend handed over one spoon. Showering cost two spoons, so her friend handed over two spoons. Cooking was one spoon, and eating cost another so she was forced to hand over another two spoons. Getting outside to go to work cost a spoon, driving to work cost a spoon, getting out the car, walking into the office, work itself took multiple spoons, leaving work cost a spoon⊠all the while her friend is suddenly starting to realize this isnât a fun game anymore, and that sheâs running out of spoons.
Eventually they reach the end of the day, and thereâs one spoon left. âYou can either feed yourself and go to bed, or hang out with friends, which one do you pick?â
âBut I want to do both!â
âWell you canât, you used up all your spoons and now you need to choose. For the rest of your life you will only ever have a limited amount of spoons to spend. Some days you will wake up with all of them, other days youâll wake up and find sleep didnât restore all of them and youâre starting from a loss. But you still need to choose what to spend them on, which is why I often have to cancel social events. Because I have to choose between being able to feed myself that day, or hanging out with friends.â
At which point her friend realized what it meant to have severely limited energy due to illness/disability, and thus the Spoon Theory was born, forming a community primarily of people who are chronically ill who refer to ourselves as âspooniesâ which has since branched out to include other disabilities and is gradually working itâs way into mainstream understanding as being a good way to express personal limitations and capacity for coping.
âI have run out of spoonsâ is a common phrase we use to let others know âIâve run out of energyâ, which may seem ludicrous to anyone able bodied and neurotypical, but thatâs because they are coming from a place of physical and mental privilege and didnât respect our personal boundaries and limitations when we told them weâd run out of energy, so the analogy of spoons had to be used to quite literally spoon feed it to them.
If itâs easier, think of it as spell slots in a game. You start each day with a limited amount of slots, but due to a severe debuff they donât regenerate for 24 hours once youâve used themâexcept every action you do, getting up, eating, showering, going to class, taking to people, working, etc, etc requires a spell slot. Sometimes potions (medicine) might give you a temporary buff, but itâs not guaranteed and in itself requires a spell slot to use.
Another good analogy is that of a cell phone battery that is never quite able to charge all the way up to full, and every time you use it, it drains the battery. Doesnât matter if you leave it plugged in overnight, itâll still only charge to 80% by next morning, and youâre not allowed to bring a charger with you. So you have to choose carefully what you use it for, all the while the battery is steadily draining simply because youâre not plugged in (asleep/resting).
I hope that helps!
i was with my motherâs family and they were talking to me about my religious studies major. my great aunt asked me what the definition of hell was, and i responded âwell i suppose it depends on who you ask.â and nearly all the protestants in the group decided that hell was âthe absence of godâ which i suppose is a fair answer, albeit not a universal one. my cousinâs wife was playing with her 3-year-old daughter and she says âwell mommy says that hell is a mcdonaldâs playplaceâ asdfghjhgfd
this 3-year-old girl is so fucking hilarious. her mothers have signed her up for a toddler yoga class, and so she has adopted a very unique language. this child also has an imaginary friend named âmomâ which is, in her mind, the boss of her two mothers. for example, my cousinâs wife explained to me how her daughter got mad at them one time. the little girl situated herself in the corner of her crib, pretended to type on a cell phone and said âim writing an email to mom right now and telling her how bad you two are. namaste.â
the familyâs Big Theory about âMomâ is that both my cousin and her wife are referred to as âMommyâ and âMama.â The nickname âMomâ is not used in the house because it would just be confusing. However, when interacting with the world, people tell their daughter that they will âtell her momâ if she is doing something wrong. so this child automatically assumes there is this greater âMomâ figure that is responsible for distributing universal justice.Â
