Work/Life Balance is a Thing That You Need and Deserve, and any boss who tries to tell you otherwise is a lying scumbag.

Here's a tip that will save your life. When your shitty boss asks you if you're free to work at ANY TIME when you don't wanna work, don't give them excuses, don't explain what you have going on or try to come up with a lie. YOU DON'T OWE THEM SHIT. Tell them in a very polite an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, but i'm not available." And when those nosy bastards immediately ask, "why, what are you doing???" because they want to try to guilt-squeeze-berate-con you into doing what THEY want rather than whats good for you and then they WILL hold your answer against you.... all you say is this:

You give them an apologetic look, maybe a smile or a wince or whatever you think you can pull off, and you say, "I have some personal business that I have to take care of." And if they STILL press, tell them, "I'd rather not talk about it."

You don't need to tell them that your personal business is sitting in front of your laptop surfing youtube while bing eating ice cream. You don't need to give them all your personal life story. You don't need to come up with a reason to have time off to rest, or to say No. They are not entitled to it, and they will only use it to try and talk you into doing more work than you want to.

Be polite. Be firm. Don't tell them a damn thing. You are allowed your privacy, and its none of their damm business what you do in your off-work hours. And RESTING is a TOTALLY VALID reason to not want to work extra. Rather than explain that to a low wage boss who is being pressured by their own shitty bosses to squeeze every scrap of effort they can out of every poor sod who works there, just tell them "i'm busy, it's a personal matter," and they can kiss your ass. Because if you VOLUNTEER that info, they can weedle you, but if they DIG at your private matters, you can call HR.

Something important to remember as people begin resuming work in offices. If you for one second start to think that you owe your soul and sanity to a company, just remember how quick they all were to let people go barely a year ago, instead of pay/bonus/hour adjustments for higher tiered employees/executives.

roommates of tumblr, stop using metal utensils on your roommates nonstick pans and stop soaking their cast iron pans in soap thank you and god bless

roommates of the world: it doesn’t actually matter if you use metal on nonstick every once in a while

their pans:

for those wondering, those scratches are where the non-stick coating has been scraped off (usually by metal utensils or cleaning utilities like steel wool), which means that food will stick more in those spots. plus, there runs the risk of more bits of that coating coming off into your food as you cook.

Non-stick pans and skillets are best for medium heat as they don't conduct heat as well, and for wetter foods like eggs and fish and pancakes.

On the other hand, cast iron pans and skillets don't have a built in protective coating. The metal will absorb grease and fats as they cook, building up an equally efficient non-stick coating of its own. And without the chemical coating that non-stick pans come with, there's no risk of any of it flaking off or melting into your food. They can handle higher temperatures without damage, and they get hot faster on the burner. Beef, pork, and chicken are best cooked on cast iron.

You don't want to let them soak in soap because it will remove that grease coating that makes the cast iron pan's non-stickiness, plus absorb soap that might melt back off into your food. A soap and sponge rub down is all it needs.

@marraphy

proper cleaning of your cast iron:

Scrape off food remnants with a cast iron scraper

Scrub any remaining bits off with a stiff brush and hot water

Put the wet pan on the stove and turn the burner on to heat up the pan and evaporate the water

Pour a small amount (about a teaspoon, depending on pan size) of high-temp oil (i prefer avocado oil for this) into the pan and coat the inside of the pan by rubbing it in with a paper towel

The pan should be a bit shiny but have no obvious pooling oil

Heat the pan until just a little bit of smoke is rising off it

Turn off the stove and let your pan cool there

(I store my frequent use cast iron on the stove because it's basically all I cook with so i don't have to worry about putting it away but if you put yours away make sure that the pan is completely cooled before you put it in a cabinet)

What happens when you soap and soak cast iron vs. proper cleaning and seasoning.

Bonus: cooking in cast iron WILL add small amounts of iron to your diet, especially when preparing moist or acidic foods. Most people could frankly use a bit more iron, and scrambled eggs or stew or steak is a MUCH pleasanter way to get it than pills.

If you don't want to season your cast iron on the stove, you can do it in the oven and rub the entire thing, inside and out, with oil. That'll also help protect the outside from rust.

A rusty cast iron skillet is NOT ruined btw, it just takes some work to restore it. Mostly, disposing of the body of whomever let it get to that rusty state.

Additionally, if you are like me and handwash the fucker anyway (and reseason, I have never ruined a cast iron) do not EVER put a hot cast iron skillet under cold water. My dad did that and THUNK!! It broke. He was not a smart man.

If you have the strength to handle cast iron, they are some of the absolute best things out there. They WILL last over a hundred years if cared for.

Can confirm! Some of the most commonly used cookware in my kitchen is heirloom cast iron that I rescued and (with help from some wonderful friends) restored after they'd been shoved into a storage unit for years after a relative's death.

I've also found that salt + a little water is an incredible cleaning method for cast iron. Scrub it around with a paper towel (be mindful of tearing of yoy scrub too hard) and it will basically lift all but the most stubborn remnant bits that you were going to have trouble with anyway. Then rinse the salt out, and dry and reseason the pan as above!

I was taught to use coarse salt + oil to make a pumice, use that to scrub out the cast iron, and then it’s already oiled and you rinse the salt out with hot water and then dry on the stove or in the oven.

Otherwise ++good.

If you really want non-cast-iron nonstick, the ceramic coatings these days are pretty durable.

This. This is VERY good advice 😂

hi what the actual FUCK does THIS ONE MEAN

Bautista said “say it with your chest”

For those who may not know, Dave Bautista is the (former) WWE wrestler Batista

He also plays this gay-ass autistic alien:

He also posted this delightful tweet in response to some homophobic Catholic bullshit:

And he’s been very openly anti-Trump:

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

This dude took one look at homophobia, bigotry, and toxic masculinity and said ‘fuck that’ and then crushed them all with his enormous biceps and I think that was very excellent of him.

He looks like he gives great hugs

I don’t know who Megan Kelly is but I wanna piss her off

dis bitch

“Verifiable fact” 😭😂

I’d PISS ON HER tbh

btw Saint Nicholas, whom Santa Claus is based on, was a black guy

and we don’t know exactly what jesus looked like, but here’s an artistic reconstruction of an average 20-something male from his ethnic group at the time

DOES THIS LOOK FUCKING WHITE TO YOU

I want this post everywhere

jesus was represented more or less accurately as an ethnically jewish arab man up until the reign of pope alexander vi, in the late 15th century. since he was viciously persecuting roman jews during this time, alexander wanted to make them less sympathetic to the public, and did so in part by ordering that portrayals of jesus be based off of his son, cesare borgia.

the reason “jesus is white” is because someone purposefully attempted to alter the perception of history to benefit his goal of persecuting a targeted ethnic group.

Ooh, interesting historical note.

I don’t usually share posts like this but I always want to piss off Megan Kelly

Canon Santa not fanon Santa

The bible canon’s been muddled so much that Jesus could be a bald asian trans woman for all we know

Anti anxiety.

I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT CAT ONE FOREVER

This is amazing but I’m on mobile so the gifs keep freezing. So I’m just sitting here turning purple like a fool. Keep breathing everyone!
