obviously not every cheesy chips is going to be like this, but why is it a majority of the time i see "cheesy chips" it looks like this and it's from the UK. i've seen like 10 different variations of fries with kraft singles just slapped on top of it. at least melt the goddamn cheese
MELT THE FUCKING CHEESE YOU ANIMALS
come on man
pissing me off
they're just doing this shit on purpose now
my fucking head hurts
Day 286 of quarantine I have discoveredΒ www.webstaurantstore.com
It is, I BELIEVE, a website intended to be used by restaurants for bulk ordering food and utensils. And this is bringing me such unbounded delight scrolling through and recognizing that I, a single individual, ALSO can order ridiculous obscene enormous offensive-to-all-common-sensibilities shipments of BULK FOOD, to my LITTLE LITTLE APARTMENT, for PENNIES on the dollar. I have this god given power to flood my entire living space with bulk grains and it is one single button click away from my reality.
30 POUNDS of chocolate for $100. 20 POUNDS of peas for $13?? $13!!!! I will wake up every single morning from now on knowing that a box of donuts and a sack of dried split peas heavy enough to bodily injure someone both carry equal monetary weight.Β 25 POUNDS OF ONION POWDER for $50. Do you understand the enormity? the accessibility? the potential here? With the single click of the button I can put myself in a position of bequeathing more than a humanly comprehensible amount of onion powder in my will. AND IT WOULD ONLY COST ME $50 TO MAKE THIS A REALITY.
But what gets me
What truly gets me
is the 50 POUND BAG OF RICEΒ
FOR LESS THAN $20
Do you know how much that kills me? How much Iβm losing my mind? that I can order MYSELF WORTH OF RICE for something to the tune of $50? IΒ can OUT-RANK MYSELF WITH RICE, DEMOCRATICALLY OVERRULE MYSELF WITH RICE, IN MY OWN APARTMENT for the fucking PENNIES that is $50
Iβm so sorry for the normal person Iβll be after quarantine because the cabin-fever version of me Iβm inhabiting right now is perhaps just uninhibited enough to follow through on this dream Iβve just discovered of out-ricing myself.
real talk though, if you had a large number of people in your community who wanted a particular food item and couldn’t afford it (for instance if you’re in a food desert and need produce or if you’re a part of a large disabled and/or overworked community who all need prepared frozen food), you could pool funds and get an order from a supply store like this.
it requires organizing for finance management, ordering, transport, and distribution, but if you build a stable mutual aid network, it’s genuinely within the realm of possibility.
This idea is called a buyers club (or buying club, buying coop, etc) and it’s a great time-tested method of mutual aid. And there are guides and tools for starting your own at managemy.coop
Shit used to be wild, and this is just what I could find that had decent sources, I've heard a lot more horror stories.
I'm not excited to live in a word without regulation. π
"Regulations don't exist because governments enjoy them" is an important statement here. The government has to spend money and labor to enforce regulations. The government has to be begged for years and sometimes threatened by the American people into even creating the regulations. The people with the money want you to believe regulations are "BIG GOVERNMENT INFRINGING ON OUR FREEDOMS" so you'll help them undo the regulations your grandparents had to force that same government to install in the first fucking place. They count on you being ignorant of the past so they can make another round of dirty money by poisoning you all over again.
There should totally be a movement called “Sleep in Public” where people defend their right to sleep on public property. Sleep in your cars. Sleep on benches. Sleep at the park. Just make it a mundane and regular part of life to see someone napping in the library. It would make it much harder to single out the homeless for harassment if everyone else is doing the same thing and much harder to argue that it’s a “threat to public safety” when it’s so clearly harmless.
“But homeless people commit crimes!” I have a very hard time believing they commit crimes while asleep.
You know who do commit crimes in their sleep? Billionaires
I like it/its pronouns.
It's like you're an object or a force of nature, but not exactly one that's beloved. Instead, one that's recognized, that's spoken of, that's planned around. Seen as a 'thing' not a person, but it's not like being seen as a person won me anything.
Also of course there's the transfem appeal of reclaiming our objectification. In an environment where they/them is the degendering of choice, it/its becomes a balm. As a transfem, it feels like declaring my femininity to encompass the inanimate and the profound. Which is fun for me.
Haven't seen anyone talking about it here, but vocal transfeminist and writer Tara Knight has been sent a threat from the fbi insisting that she stop speaking about "radical gender ideology" and get rid of the past 3 years of her work.
A black trans woman is getting personally threatened by the fbi for being a transfeminist. What the fuck. Hopefully this gets more reach than my usual posts so that people who are able to can support her.
While I'm not denying this is something that happens at all, I really want to say that this is very much misinformation, and I highly suggest reading this article. It's absolutely a scary time for trans people, especially for transfems and trans people of color, but this is irresponsible and isn't helping at all.
Update, btw

ALTTara has admitted the FBI letter was fake.
please donβt share this without context!
Tara did not fake the letter, she later learned it was fake. She really received what she thought was an authentic letter written by the FBI, and she naturally responded in fear. Sure, she didnβt do due diligence before reporting on it (neither did yall when reblogging thisβ¦) but sheβs not a scammer or a grifter! The hate sheβs receiving is disgusting and if she wasnβt a Black trans woman I donβt think sheβd be receiving 1/10th of the backlash she is now.
Stranger Things season 1: beneath the superficial image of “peace and prosperity” in 1980s small-town America, there was the painful legacy of countless atrocities committed by the American government in the name of ‘freedom.’
Stranger Things season 4: evil Russians (not Soviets) have sent our All-American Hero to the gulags which apparently still exist in the 1980s and it’s up to us to save him 🇺🇸🦅🫡
There’s probably a term that already exists for this but if there isn’t I’m gonna call it ‘Rambofication’ in honor of its probably most well known instance: Rambo First Blood was about a soldier, John Rambo (that’s his actual name I’m not doing a bit), returning home from the Vietnam war, so traumatized by war that he brought the war home with him to a small town, unable to adapt to life without strict military discipline and hierarchy. Subsequent Rambo movies were about how John Rambo was the only supersoldier tough enough and patriotic enough to kill faceless hordes of dastardly foreign commies.
Ergo, ‘Rambofication’ is the process of a series starting with a relatively nuanced or subversive narrative before its sequels become a shallow embrace of the very narrative it originally subverted. It happens surprisingly often!
