Sauerkraut and kimchi have B12

What happens in other people’s heads is not my business. Even if the imagined protagonist looks and acts like me, they’re not and I don’t have a single stake in it.

Yup. If they’re making combustibles out of our layer in 200 million years, I wonder if it’ll release forever chemicals

They’re treated like shit by patients and their experience will basically always be considered irrelevant if a brand new doctor disagrees (I get why, but it’s still gotta be irritating). I’d be rude too.

They were colonized by the British and essentially taxed through landlords above their ability to produce, but were allowed to support themselves on potatoes, which was okay (not really) until there was a blight damaging the potato crops, which brought on huge amounts of emigration and led to over a million people starving to death.

Oof, I’m not good at this.

I looked it up and technically millet is a cereal! I cook 2 parts millet with one part frozen spinach (2/3 of standard water) and when it’s nearly cooked, I take the lid off and add tomato sauce, then top with cheese before serving. I sometimes add chia seeds as well, if it needs a little thickening up.

I also love chopped green onions, tomatoes, olives, and smoked tofu in bulgur (bloomed in broth)

The majority of porn with trans women is aggressively fetishized and dog-whistley to blatantly transphobic. I’m honestly not surprised that someone who consumes it is a transphobe.

I could see children deciding that this is how they get gun control laws.

4373 now for black triangles

It’s generally legal in the US, with some exceptions (judges holding court, maybe ship captains?), and as an American, it’s a little hard to wrap my head around the laws in Germany. I live here, so I just don’t say rude things to strangers, but what is an insult?

Some people are ugly or fat or bald or stupid, all of which I would consider insults. Can the truth be an insult? What if I did fuck that dude’s mom last night, would it be an insult to tell him? I’ve seen dutzen (use of the informal “you”) be considered an insult, and I just don’t understand how. I understand how it can offend someone, but the word I use for the people I love best in the world is objectively not an insult.

If insulting is subjective, can lizzo (or an equally body positive person) get away with calling someone fat?

Above all, how is saying “it is my sincere opinion that” before the insult a real defense?

I think with a forced gender binary, any advantages are double sided: men are respected, but not allowed to show emotion; women are cared for, but infantilized; men earn more money, but can’t ask for help; women are trusted with children, but not computers; men get to go on adventures, but can’t back down from a fight.

Like, with other forms of bigotry, there’s a much clearer “winner,” but sexism fucks everyone. I don’t think it fucks everyone equally, but it does negatively impact everyone.

I’m an AFAB egg and I heavily relate to a lot of that. I come off some sort of way to people (I’m also 178 cm, but only 62kg, so I’m tall but not big, maybe that’s related), such that people don’t interrupt me, take credit for my ideas, mansplain to me… I actually experience very little in terms of individual (vs institutional) sexism, and I don’t know how to phrase that without it seeming like victim blaming. People don’t even catcall me anymore, but I may have just aged out of it

I do feel awful for the kids who would have gotten to go to these schools, but won’t because of institutionalized racism. Just not for the people who pushed for this law

Jesus Christ, it’s not on you, but what an awful show. Nobody let that woman ask for evidence even though it was a good question that she tried to ask multiple times. I’m secondhand frustrated now

Watersports?

That’s why I’ve requested it 😂 It’s not cheap in the US, but it’s well under $10 (though it’s been a few years of inflation…)

My husband sharpened a friend of mine’s meat cleaver for her. I knew I’d be seeing her at the library later, so I folded it inside cardboard and put it in a reusable shopping bag for her. At no point did I worry about anyone stopping me, and if they had, I would have expected them to believe me about what happened.

Everything went according to plan and I wouldn’t have thought anything of it, if my husband hadn’t been so surprised that I gave her the knife in public.

Old people (I’m not even old yet) who used to sit like the below picture and have incapacitating back pain when they sit wrong now.
