Doesn’t even say HOW to season your toast-and-water

A little girl says to her mother: “Mummy, when you were away at work a strange lady came around”…

“Not now,” says Mummy. “Wait until Daddy gets home.”

So they wait until Daddy gets home, and then Mummy says “Now dear, what were you saying about Daddy and the strange lady?”

And Daddy starts to say something but Mummy says, “You keep quiet - I’ll be talking to my attorney in the morning. Carry on, dear.”

“Well,” says the little girl, “Daddy told me to stay downstairs while they went upstairs, but I followed them without Daddy seeing me, and I saw them hugging and kissing at the top of the stairs. Then they went into your bedroom and shut the door, but I went up and looked through the keyhole.”

“Clever girl,” purrs Mummy. “What could you see through the keyhole?”

“I saw them hugging and kissing some more, and then they started to take each other’s clothes off, and they carried on until they had nothing on, and then the lady got on the bed and Daddy got on top of her.”

“Yes?” says Mummy. “And then what happened?”

“Then they did what you and Uncle Jack did when Daddy was in Vancouver last year,” says the little girl confidently.

A Jewish man on the subway is reading an Arab newspaper

A friend of his, who happened to be riding in the same subway car, noticed this strange phenomenon. Very upset, he approached him. “Moshe, have you lost your mind? Why are you reading an Arab newspaper?” Moshe replied, “I used to read the Jewish newspaper, but what did I find? Jews being persecuted, Israel being attacked, Jews disappearing through assimilation and intermarriage, Jews living in poverty. So I switched to the Arab newspaper. Now what do I find? Jews own all the banks, Jews control the media, Jews are all rich and powerful, Jews rule the world. The news is so much better!”

Hate that trope in fiction which is like “omg u guys were in a romantic relationship this whole time and just didn’t realise it haha friends don’t act like that w each other!!! ur sooo oblivious 🙄” like no.

If they didn’t label their relationship as romantic it is not a romantic relationship. ppl not involved in the relationship don’t get to determine the nature of a relationship for the people involved in it.

-> “they’re living together” ok? people have roommates?

-> “they have a pet/are raising a child together” yeah co-parenting exists?? plenty of ppl raise children who aren’t romantically involved

-> “they hold hands” so do friends and family :/ what’s ur point

-> “they have sex” friends w benefits exist buddy

None of these actions are inherently romantic. there is no action that is inherently “romantic” - that is only determined by the intent behind the action, not the action itself; nothing is romantic unless you want it to be

Also qprs exist. plenty of qpps do things that could be traditionally labelled “romantic” with no romantic intention behind them, like co-parenting children and living together. plenty of qpps “look” like romantic relationships from the outside even though the ppl involved in the qpr would not label it as such!

I’m not saying that this trope can’t be done well or that ppl can’t realise they have latent romantic feelings for each other once they’ve settled into a domestic routine . however. i think often it reinforces the idea that all relationships have to follow certain rules/appear a certain way or they’re not really valid. trying to force a label onto someone else’s relationship bc it “looks” like what u think a certain relationship type should look like is dumb - there is no one way for a romantic relationship/friendship/qpr to look!

tldr; u can’t label other ppls relationships for them and trying to force a label onto them when they haven’t put that label onto themselves is annoying and obnoxious

Also not to mention Best Friends are a THING, it’s not romantic but you’d bury a dead body for your bestie. They Know you as well as you know them and all this stuff you’d do with one

It’s okay to cuddle people you like to spend time with, it’s okay to hug them or hold hands or live together etc

Let’s bring back Best Friends because people seem to have forgotten it is a thing and a thing that can be decided upon between anyone! (A boy and girl been Best Friends dosnt mean they’ll end up together guys!!!!)

Cute couple

in case yall were wondering if these things looked any more appetizing with high-quality modern photography instead of color-faded 70s cookbooks: nope

history people of tumblr, is there a reason they put everything in jello around that time or is it just because

I’m an amateur here but I love sociology and I actually wrote something up once on one of my other sideblogs about why mid-century culture was so weird-yet-aggressively-bland. To summarize my understanding of the era specifically about food and cooking:
