"The reality is that this epidemic is going to get worse before it gets better. But right now, the world still has an opportunity to save countless lives." —President Obama speaking at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how the U.S. is responding to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa
Voter suppression is very real, and it doesn't just show up as long lines, gerrymandering, and other physical barriers to putting your ballot in the box.
Voter suppression most frequently means demoralizing, discouraging, and other emotionally manipulative ways to convince people that their vote doesn't matter. One of the most common and effective tactics online is to work people up with purity tests, to convince people that, for instance, it's a good idea to kneecap the one guy who is currently the loudest and most effective voice countering Trump, because [fill in whatever the reason, usually that he's a lame centrist].
Newsom is my governor. He leaves a LOT to be desired for leftists like me, but he's a powerful, effective, unflinching and relentless voice speaking truth to Fascism. We need him. We need more voices like his.
So when you hear someone praising him for speaking up, when you see one of his clever posts skewering shitler, and you see people responding positively to his willingness to fight, and fight hard, just join in that celebration. And shut down anyone who does "yeah, but ..." because now is not the time.
We are all in this together. Fuck Trump, fuck Maga, and fuck everyone who supports them.
They are our enemy -- a word I don't use lightly -- and we need to remember that. Stay on target.
Really hate how “mommy and daddy issues” just a jab at the child and not the parent
Oh, so your parent(s) traumatized you when you were vulnerable and defenseless, and they let you down when you were reliant on them for your emotional needs? Lol idiot.
My ENTIRE world just shifted to the left a bit. Thanks.
Nothing makes me feel like more of an absolute fucking idiot than cooking.
An Assyrian guy put a rice recipe up here awhile back and it was the best rice I've ever eaten. The recipe? Half-cook the rice and then bake it in butter. It had somehow never occurred to me that you could do that. Of course you can do that. Did I just think the rice was allergic to the oven or something.
I cooked rice like this and had some left over so I used it to bulk out my sad pathetic watery homemade vegetable soup. To my huge surprise it turned it into the best soup I'd ever eaten. Magically gave it real body, made it textured and nurturing, held heat better, added massive depth of flavour.
Hey guys did you. Did you know that butter. Did you know that if you put fat in food it makes it more satisfying and adds textural depth. Hey did you know that some flavours aren't very soluble in water and are instead soluble in fats, so if you add some fat to your watery soup then. Then the flavours. Hey guys did you know that butter is a fat.
Mind blown super surprising in my late thirties hey guys did you know that sad watery soup can be improved with some fat? Just like sauce or meat or basically any other food which I already knew about? Did you know it works for soup as well? Did you know that some flavours are more soluble in
I have a chemistry background.
i fear we have lost the true meaning of overconsumption.
buying 15 body washes is overconsumption, buying 3 because there was a good deal is not.
buying every shade of a lip gloss the second it comes out and never using them again is overconsumption, buying 2 from a new collection you know you will use is not.
i’m saying this because i saw a video of someone doing a home restock and she had bought 2 sent bead things because there was a good deal and over half the comments were people saying how it was overconsumption. this is not overconsumption this is saving money.
overconsumption is buying things you don’t need and will never use just because you want to buy something. it is buying in bulk knowing you will never use the products. what overconsumption is not is buying two body scrubs because it was buy one get one free and you know you will use them. it is not buying two shampoos at once so you have a backup. that’s not overconsumption.
