Jewish and Muslim people go on Chopped and are made to cook with pork and they make it work, one vegan goes on and refuses to use any meat products he’s given and they have an all veggie episode for him.

The final basket had honey in it and e refers to it as a total nightmare scenario. Go talk to the Muslim woman who knocked out a pork loin without being able to taste her dish about dealing with nightmare baskets

My mum was watching a baking show where a 20 year old Muslim woman was a contestant. They had to make an alcoholic dessert. She nailed it despite not being able to taste it. When she mentioned that she couldnt (not as a complaint or excuse) everyone gawked at her and someone said “how old are you???”. Like, really?

I saw that one! Seemed like purposeful sabotage when your contestant can neither religiously or legally taste the ingredient

Cultural insensitivity and racism in media?

Holy shit this may actually work

This is the Memorial to the Missing and contains over 50,000,000 pennies to represent the lives of each American child abandoned to abortion by a society and a culture that has embraced their destruction. We must prevent the need to add to this memorial. Take a stand. Get involved.

“should I use this $500k to help struggling parents and pregnant people or should I put it in a glass box”

^ reblogged for the comment

“money that can be useful for victims of rape and abuse is sitting in a glass box to remind us how we care more about the ‘lives’ of unborn fetuses than the lives of homeless children”

The cognitive dissonance is stunning

We don’t care about people, we care about the idea of people.

Reblogging for all of the comments.

“I’d rather put pennies on display to show how little value I place on a life once out of the womb than put actual dollars towards better health care for the living.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And like that’s not just a couple hundred dollars worth of pennies that is a really substantial amount thats just sitting in a glass box

learning how not to fish for compliments can really help how you interact with others. here’s some common phrases i’ve noticed:

what all of these have in common is that they all involve putting yourself down. when you do that, those around you feel obligated to compliment you, which can make them feel frustrated that they have to just to be polite. not only that, but by talking yourself down you feel worse about yourself. the latter two phrases also centre your problems, distracting the attention from the person you’re trying to compliment. that often makes them feel bad!

here’s how to fix those phrases:

by cutting out the negativity, you make it so nobody feels obligated to compliment you. you’ll usually get more compliments this way because people don’t feel uncomfortable! the latter two phrases now also centre the artist and their knowledge. not only do they make the artist feel good, they also might score you some good advice.

this strategy will also help to boost your confidence in the long run. if you stop prefacing every compliment with negativity, you’ll be able to internalise them better.
