Hot tip from one of my aunts with adhd. Keep your condiments in the vegetable drawer and keep your vegetables in the door where most people keep their condiments.
Vegetables out of sight out of mind? Rotting in the drawer? Condiments don’t rot that much. Put your vegetables in a painfully obvious spot.
Bonus hot tip from me. If you keep telling yourself you’ll take the trash out to the dumpster the next time you leave your apartment and just keep forgetting to do that, just tie up the bag and put it in front of your door. Hard to miss. Hard to forget on your way out.
Because basically all packages tell you to refrigerate after opening? They can still grow bacteria. For safety’s sake you should probably throw them out after 6 months even when they are refrigerated.
Tbh during the pandemic I took an online food safety class and with the knowledge I have now seeing what some of you do with your food I worry about you. Deeply.
PEPPER IS A SPICE
Dude. Jams and jellies attract MOLD. You’ll get mold poisoning too. After you break the seal on a jar of jam you need to refrigerate it and check it for signs of mold when you open it anyways even when it is refrigerated.
Speaking of people sounding like assholes when they talk about art on this website: I am so tired of posts that talk about how “my kid could do that!” is a reductive and pretentious statement, only to end up being even more reductive and pretentious by completely refusing to engage with the actual sentiment being expressed
i like this video because its a relic of the Before Times, like i love the 6-second cinematography that goes into vines but sometimes we forget the value of delayed gratification
Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.
In a “disabled people live comfortably even and especially if they can’t work” type of way.
In a “I would have the option to not work but I think I’d like to without a gun to my head” type of way
our downstairs neighbor has a motion activated doorbell camera and recently made a snip on how we come home with takeout all the time and commented on our spending habits (its not btw. its people giving us leftovers and groceries)
so now that i know she watches the footage daily of the hallway we have to walk through to get to our room i make sure to deliberately stop in front of the camera and show her everything we get like a makeup/skincare influencer
today i went to a gardening ceremony for my deceased loved one to show support and won a porcelain chicken at bingo with 40 something old ladies
^ pov recreation you are my downstairs neighbor getting a load of my awesome fucking chicken
she saw it btw and said “um…. what was the chicken about” do you not appreciate her?
she stands very well her name is sweetling and she protects our sweet things
Love having people reblog my posts as I’m reblogging them. The feeling of seeing that people see my post and think hmm yes that would fit quite nicely on my blog as well is awesome.
Hello, saw fanartist. I’ve been following your social media profile, and noticed an alarming number of works featuring my younger associates in various compromising positions. You claim that these pieces are a result of your ‘brainrot’, yet I am yet to see you visit a doctor for your condition… Suspended above your head is a bucket of acid, and in front of you is a pen and paper. Your task is to draw a picture of Mark Hoffman, without reference to his ‘Massive Rack’ or ‘Man Titties’, as you so eloquently put it. If you fail to do so, the acid bucket hanging above you will begin to tip, making your 'brainrot’ an unfortunate medical reality. You have 30 minutes.
adjacent advice: if you need more confidence, get a cool jacket or a haircut or something and think about how cool it makes you. this is loser advice, but we’re all losers here. swallow your pride and roleplay as a cool guy and you’ll become a cool guy.
it might help to think of yourself as a character designer and also yourself as a character, which is again kind of insane person advice, but this is an insane-person-for-insane-person audience blog
I see a lot of ‘cis’ women say they wish they were androgynous in the way men were or they wish they were pretty in the way men were. This is your sign to go try to do that. You may find you enjoy being an androgynous woman. You may find you no longer identify as a woman. You may find you don’t like androgyny. You will not know until you try. Cut your hair if you’ve always wanted to but have been afraid to. Shop in the men’s section if you’ve been too nervous to. Wear clothing with an androgynous  silhouette. Experiment with binding, take baby steps with compression bras if you want. Wear unisex scents. Live life. Try things you want to try. A lot of cis women do not understand the joys of mens pants and mens deodorant. I think everyone should try both of those things.
personally, even ignoring any other implications of the “cozy” / “wholesome” Marketing Label, I’m averse to them because they suggest you couldn’t think of any better reason to play your video game.
you know when people talk about how the villagers in Animal Crossing used to be more rude and demanding, and it was frustrating at times, but it gave the whole thing a lot of character? and now they’re all just sort of Generically Pleasant, even the ones that are nominally supposed to be kind of standoffish? that’s where I’m at on “wholesome” games. you don’t have to be edgy but for the love of god don’t be edgeless. don’t be twee.
thinking about the Moomin books and how they’re stories about cute, silly cartoon animals that are also very aware of loneliness and longing. thinking about the way “Ghibli films” are often reduced to Well Rendered Anime Food and Pretty Meadows when people post about them, because the actual stories and characterizations aren’t as GIF-able or easy to generalize. thinking about Recettear, a fun and cute little shop simulator where the core concept is “if you fall behind on your bills you are ruined. you are a child and you will be completely ruined.”
there have to be ideas. you know? there have to be ideas.
my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more pionts in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!
the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.
and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!
hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!
other profs: sobbing and screaming bc someone needs to take notes on a computer
this dude: I record and upload every lecture for the paladins, monks, and rogues, but barbarians can watch them too I guess. Bards you only get one participation point per class, even if you talk multiple times, it’s only fair.
Legends never die, and as such, Jellie will continue to live on in Minecraft and within our hearts until the end of time. It was a pleasure to draw you, Jellie. Have fun playing in the stars.
I woke up, went to brush my teeth and using my toothpaste spoon I put toothpaste from my toothpaste bucket onto my toothbrush, only to realize that it was not my toothbrush, but my mom’s. My toothbrush was not in the toothbrush cup, so I looked around and realized it was in the sink, covered by foam from someone washing their hands previously. I didn’t know what to do, so I just woke up for real.
@official-persephone well the toothbrush cup is just a cup where you put the toothbrushes. toothpaste spoon is just a fancy way of saying toothbrush. but WHAT THE HELL is a toothpaste bucket????
TOOTHPASTE SPOON IS A TOOTHBRUSH? THAT CAN’T BE TRUE
I HAVE REREAD THE POST AND IT IS NOT. A TOOTHPASTE SPOON IS PROBABLY JUST A FUCKING SPOON. YOU DIP THE GODDAMN SPOON INTO THE BUCKET AND GET YOURSELF SOME FUCKING TOOTHPASTE. I HATE THIS POST
im trying to go to sleep but i cannotttttt stop thinking about this and laughing
Listen, we have to keep this thing circulating on the internet for at least another two decades, because I have to believe that one day that little girl will be grown enough to stumble upon it and She Will Explain
Betty, the lovable angry mom (she/her) Rambert, the playful dad (he/him) Cotton, the brave and protective firstborn (he/him) Shaun, the black sheep of the family (he/him) Lambert, the chaotic middle sibling (they/them) Wooly, the adorable introvert (he/they) And Dolly, the youngest smart cookie (she/her)
A proper money laundering scheme should be a business which is in no way profitable, run by the brother or cousin of a mass murderer who’s really passionate about making a specific kind of food or something but has no idea how prices or advertising work, frequented by folks who you should absolutely never make eye contact with!
Fun fact, at various times, the IRS has tried to crack down on money laundering schemes only to be faced with massive public backlash over them shutting down people’s favorite restaurants.
There’s a cafe in my town that is 100% a front of some sort. No question in my mind. But if anyone tried to shut them down, I would riot in the streets because they make the best french toast I’ve ever had in my life and you can buy a whole meal for $6.
The “government” ain’t nothing more than a protection racket itself, kid. “Money Laundering” is just fancy government talk for an honest Joe trying to do a bit of business without having to pay those federal spooks a cut.
anti-egg vegans are always a hoot. like, she’s not using it. it’s not fertilized. it’s going to rot and attract predators. you want me to just throw it in the trash??
its still animal exploitation, is it not?
do you think a chicken with zero emotional attachment to the egg she popped out feels exploited when that egg leaves the coop?
if that unfertilized egg cracked in the pen there’s not a chicken who would wait 0.002 seconds to slurp that shit down raw and unseasoned but I’m supposed to exploit foreign children farming for slave wages and ship all of their staple crops across the world to me instead. and this feels like the moral high ground to them. alright
