i love cutthroat kitchen but bingewatching makes it really stand out how often alton brown refers to himself as ‘daddy’ and makes contestants wear spreader bars

I’m sorry what

you heard me

#I CAN’T BELIEVE I NOW KNOW WHERE TO BUY THE EXACT FETISH GEAR THEY USE ON MY FAVORITE COOKING SHOW

@genericrevenge

OKAY BUT WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY USING SPREADER BARS ON A COOKING SHOW??!??! DOESNT THAT MAKE IT KINDA HARD TO COOK???!?

kinda, yeah

@datas-vibrating-robot-dong this seems like your speed

That logo looks familiar.

WHAT

OH MY GOD

We met Alton Brown at a show he did here - we paid the extra cash to meet him and get a blurry cellphone pic with him and have him sign a picture. He noticed my (male) companion’s pocket watch, and proceeded to order him to take it out of his pocket. It wasn’t obnoxious, it was in a Dom tone that brooked no argument. So he complied. When he found out it wasn’t wound, and so not working, he was deeply disappointed, and told him to do better next time. 

If this guy isn’t a Dom, I’ll eat that spreader bar.

ok so THIS POST showed up in my dash

EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN. DO NOT IGNORE THIS.

Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting. 

If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr. 

THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES. 

IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES. 

WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR. 

So here is what you need to do to drag this article down. 

1. Spread the word 

I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down. 

2. Make your own content 

Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved. 

3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs 

Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD. 

The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people. 

Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.” 

We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post. 

FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE. 

Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can. 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GbXHrj8k7dg

THE VIDEO LINKED IS FROM YESTERDAY (24/11 2018) THIS IS ALL FRESH PLEASE SPREAD!

To my fellow ‘mericans that don’t understand Article 13 and why it’s important, watch the video. MatPat breaks is down in a very easy way to understand why it’s important and why it will affect all of us. You might think “naw, I’m not in the EU, doesn’t matter to me” (which is a crappy way of looking at it in the first place) but guess what, it will.

Also, I feel like people are pushing the importance of this to memes, but honestly it goes SO well beyond that.

For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

This is my cat, Brigitte.

24 hours after I brought her home, I got a mindblowing job offer.  Since I adopted her nine years ago, my life has become an amusement park.  She has brought me good luck ever since I took her into my home.

I’m telling you, there’s something about this animal.  Good fortune follows her everywhere.

I don’t want to be selfish.  I have everything I need and then some.  So, I’m sharing her with you.

Reblog Brigitte and you’ll receive fantastic news in the next 24 hours.

And when you do, please remember to help your local SPCA and support them in the difficult work they do for wonder animals like Brigitte.  Any donation helps your SPCA, even if it’s just five bucks.

Kitties like Brigitte are counting on you to give back when they bring you good luck.

Thanks, and congratulations on your good news!

Theme: Music

The Brightsiders by Jen Wilde : Emmy King is the drummer for The Brightsiders, the hottest new band around, and she’s itching to get to sing her own song. It seems like a dismal possibility after the paparazzi smear photos from the worst life of her night over every tabloid around. Now she just needs some time with her friends, one of whom she’s steadily growing even closer with than ever before. It’s also time for her to come out and embrace the amazing community she’s a part of. This is a really great book about leaving toxic relationships behind (both intimate and familial) and celebrating your identity with your community and your friends. It’s not quite as soft and cheesy as Wilde’s previous book but it’s got an equally squeal-worthy end and characters that you’re just so proud of.

Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult : This book literally comes with it’s own soundtrack (in CD form) so I’m not sure what more you need. It’s also a really interesting book if you like lesbians coming out later in life, infertility treatment, legal battles, or musical therapy. If any of those sound like things you should know more about. Zoe and her husband have been trying to have a baby for years, having gone through several cycles of IVF, before their ultimate divorce. Zoe’s a musical therapist, who works in environments ranging from the children’s cancer ward to a high school attempting to reach out to one particularly troubled student. Along the way she meets a woman and realizes she’s really a lesbian who wants to have a child with her partner (and soon to be wife). Trying to access the already fertilized frozen embryos left over from previous IVF treatment she’s halted by a lawsuit from her ex-husband, now a recently converted born-again evangelical. It took me this long just to type out the plot and trust me, reading it is just as wild of a ride. It touches on issues relating to infertility treatment you probably won’t see anywhere else, unless of course you happen to regularly research case law regarding ownership of embryos. It also comes with the requisite happy end so have no fear, it all manages to get tied up with a pretty bow at the end, no small feat given how much vitriol gets thrown around in court.

Drum Roll, Please by Lisa Jenn Bigelow : A day before she’s set to head off to music camp in the Michigan woods, Melly’s parents tell her that they’re getting a divorce. Not to mention her best friend has gone boy-crazy and has ditched her day after day. Now she’s got a lot of pent up anger and is ready to release it into her drums. While other girls are chasing the boy campers Melly is falling for the girl helping her to write her own song. This is definitely a pretty classic coming of age novel; you’ve got a girl starting her first relationship while learning to process and channel her emotions into creating art. If you like character development and songwriting and first love this might be the one for you.

Sister Mischief by Laura Goode : Thoughts on feminist rap? The girls of Sister Mischief are here to entertain, break boundaries, and change minds. When their public school moves to ban hip-hop entirely, Esme Rockett and her friends refuse to go down without a fight. They start up the first hip-hop-GSA combo club their school (or any school, probably) has ever seen. Meanwhile Esme is falling in love with her best friend and fellow MC, a girl who’s too frightened by her conservative family to be open. Like in The Brightsiders, intra-group relationships come with their drawbacks and secrecy may not be exactly what this friend group needs. But if growing up as Jewish lesbian in Bible-thumping Minnesota has taught Esme anything, it’s that she’s stronger and more independent than anyone would have led her to believe.

This scene changed my life

Please don’t do this because most workers don’t give a shit and will try to let you return them with no issue and they most likely will scan the items and see they were unpurchased just an FYI

Only something white women can get away with.

^^^ I was just about to say this 😂

^^^^ Yep

Exactly. My ass would get followed as soon as I step foot into the store.

I kid you not I get followed in furniture shops like I’m going to run off with a sofa

Signal Boost.

If you ever want to know how bad something is, ask a kid. They’re weirdly honest. I just asked a 6 year old to smell an old blanket and tell me what it smells like and he said “can I say a cuss?” And I told him to go ahead and he said it smelled like “chain link butthole”

New band name

Anchorage Resident Tim Newton Awoke To The Sound Of Something Running Across His Deck

“Tim was awakened by noises on our deck last week - and looked outside. In astonishment, he grabbed his camera.. and can you believe it? Mama Lynx and her SEVEN kits!! She called to them and they all lined up right outside in front of where he was standing (he was inside the screen door!) Amazing ALASKA WILD LIFE!!! They proceeded to run and play on our deck, and then in our yard.”
