The idea of tumblr users living in like new york city or los angeles sounds extremely fake... all my mutuals either live in like serbia or a bumfuck town in missouri

Hey guess what addicts are human too and they deserve shelter, food, water, and healthcare just as much as anyone else whether or not they’re trying to “kick” addiction.

A strong start. 

Reminds me of this I found a couple days ago

hey guys do something nice for yourself today. go outside, take a walk, eat good food, practice a hobby, take a nap. do something that makes you feel good. life is terrifying right now. make sure you take care of yourselves

A cop's job is not to protect and serve but to harass and murder at the behest of white supremacy. Never fucking forget that.

The maternal death rate for women in the US increased by like 20% just between 2019 and 2020??? And of course it was HIGHEST for black women. They want us dead, dying or impoverished. Please do not ever forget that. Black women are also disproportionately affected by disorders like PCOS. Black women are 3 times more likely to get uterine fibroids. Black women are less likely to be properly diagnosed with endometriosis but twice as likely to die from endometrial cancer. Reproductive health in this country has already been fucking failing black women, especially poor black women, this is literally yet another death sentence. We get the worst family planning, worst sex education, worst reproductive health care, worst prenatal care, worst postpartum care, worst child care and school systems. this shitty country just keeps failing black women, mothers, and children. I'm paying over $800 in bills at the reproductive endocrinologist and obgyn tryna keep my fucking insides from killing me in a country that admitted with they whole mfin CHEST they need breeding stock to produce children to line the pockets of wealthy white adoption agencies but won't even make Healthcare affordable and accessible to fix a bitch womb. I'm so tired of these funky dogheaded ass bitches always wanting to make my body their business but not even fucking pay for it. I'm so goddamn irritated. Finna mail my bills directly to these mfers houses at this point

If you wanna directly help a black woman with medical bills for reproductive health care here are my paylinks

It's actually really important to be able to entertain an idea without accepting it.

It's also important to understand that our thoughts don't always reflect our beliefs, and that's normal. Being able to consider things, whether they fit within our morality or not, is actually a critical part of the brain's function.

Identity is a prison! Let yourself respond authentically to each moment as it arrives, without being bound to the narrative of who you think you are! The self is a construct! The truth of your existence is ever changing and infinite as the universe is ever changing and infinite! Abandon the stories of your past selves and be present and alive in this very moment! IDENTITY IS DEAD! THE SELF IS DEAD! YOU ARE ALIVE!

When I tell you this is the mother fucking dream

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

i truly believe that knowing how to cook is a basic survival concept and the fact that so many people can’t even make simple dishes is depressing as hell this is the sorta thing that should be taught at a young age. being able to take the ingredients you have around your home and turn them into a meal is like, essential and will make life so much better. you don’t need to be a high end chef you just need to understand some things that can be easily taught… but then again maybe the education system is playing a roll against this and ultimately they want you to grow up to rely on mcdonalds for dinner. i don’t know. please learn how to cook for yourself if you’re able. i’m not asking you to hunt for specific ingredients to make some expensive youtuber’s “best” recipe but if you know the basics of cooking you can do a lot with cheap canned ingredients. cooking can be affordable i promise you just need to learn how to make do with what you can get

Can anyone point me towards resources that teach those basics cus I would LOVE to teach my child this stuff but i dont know how to cook

not comprehensive but heres some:

internet shaquille’s basics but especially:

food safety + a recipe to demonstrate

how to learn to cook (just a list of subtopics, no actual tips)

basics with babish s1 & 2, but particularly:

basic knife skills

picking the right pan for each recipe

j. kenji lopez-alt’s tips and tricks playlist

egg recipes

a little more complicated, involved, and longer than any of the rest of these but good breakdown of flavor & how and why to use the basic seasoning/flavor profiles

and then recipe channels representing various cuisines:

again definitely not a comprehensive list but it touches on most of the basics

I honestly recommend cookbooks for beginner cooks (they cost more than internet recipes, but you can get them used without too much agony.

Internet recipes are great, but they vary widely in explanation quality, which is fine if you know most of the techniques, but less so if you’re still learning. There’s an extra level of overall organization in edited cookbooks that I take for granted but that can be a lot of help if you’re starting out.

There’s a whole genre of cookbooks that are “for teens” or “for college students” which are specifically focused on new cooks without too many tools. Don’t be embarrassed to get one even if you are no longer a teen or a student. They’re just really useful.

My favourite is “Clueless in the Kitchen” by Evelyn Raab. It leads with a whole section on cooking and kitchen maintenence and it gives the recipes with minimal spices but with instructions about how to add or alter spices in a recipe, so you don’t get pummelled with huge numbers of herbs and spices to buy all at once. This copy is $4.

please block me if you read books with death in them. i don’t care your “reason” - it’s clear you have a death fetish, are pro-necrophilia, and think killing is okay. i don’t care if someone you know died recently or if you have a terminal illness. it is not okay to consume fiction with death in it to cope. and that’s that on that, you freaks. pro-death crowd dni.
