why is it able to instantly liquify a bay leaf but struggles with garlic 😭

it’s fine—I turned it off and started trying to fish out the bay leaf bits with a fork

okay actually though. How bad is it really to have bay leaf in there?? looking it up

Okay so it’s Not Ideal but I’m just gonna blend it more and Deal With It

I’m giving the swiffer a 4/10 rating for its ability to clean ceilings btw

Why does “falling in love” have pretty much exclusively romantic connotations it’s such a good phrase. I’ve fallen in love with every single one of my friends

This was such a smart post to make because every day I get to see people declaring their love for their friends in the tags. Such a simple but sweet “restoring faith in humanity” kind of thing. We’re all just little creatures who love our buddies <3

Alright so this post has gotten over 5,000 notes in a month and I think that means the consensus is that everyone loves their friends and you should tell them

I say this as a trans woman who explicitly doesn't use they/them and with the greatest of love; if you are a random stranger and you expect me to pull up and read through your bio before referring to you in passing in a comment chain, forum thread or chat room, then I'm afraid that is not going to happen and you will have to eat being genericized, as also do I.

This is just the reality of interacting in a context where contextual information is not immediately visible. You are not special to me. I will not read your dni, open a new tab to see if you list pronouns, or reference any other demographic information unless I have a specific, relevant to what I'm discussing reason to do so. I am happy to be corrected if there is need, but if I'm obliquely referencing a post reply I am usually not even directly talking to you, and so it is silly to expect me to know who you are in advance. Understand the mode of dialog if the forum you are choosing to speak on. You can yell at me if you want, but you need to understand that you are the one placing an unreasonable burden in that scenario.

When did we move from "Using 'they' for a coworker who you damn well know uses she/her is misgendering," to "Using they for someone whose pronouns you do not know is misgendering"???

Using "they" for a rando on the internet falls squarely into using they where the antecedent is "someone" for me. I simply do not know the gender because it is a stranger!

Mostly endorsing prev's tag: "#also i think its a really bad social norm to make 'investigate their gender' a top priority when interacting with strangers. tbh."

Gendering everyone you see already is the prevailing social norm. This is not new. This is why most of our language's 3rd-person pronouns are gendered, which is my least-favorite feature of our language.

I would like to see a world where people can interact as people, and not have to worry about getting immediately gendered by every random stranger they come across.

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

maybe if you see south and southeast asians dying in the heat and latin americans dying in floods and all you think of is imagining a reality where YOU are affected, then you should rethink how you see people of color. if you cannot see climate change as a real disaster until it is other americans dying in the heat and the floods and not just black and brown people, then don’t talk about climate change until you can acknowledge the grim reality of climate change for everyone.

do any of you guys remember that sculpture of theseus & the minotaur that lowkey looks like theseus is riding the minotaur like his life depends on it

Is the lowkey in the room with us?

Saw this when I was in London this summer, I stopped my friend to point at it and said "holy shit it's the statue of Theseus fucking the Minotaur" in the middle of the very busy museum.
