Am I getting a good grade in tumblr mutual?

Concept: A witch cat that’s too fat to fly

Saint Paul Public Library, I am begging you to make this real

sometimes i forget that percy’s base reaction every time he sees a god is to fight them. just right off the bat he’s like “oh you think you’re something special?” and then he wins.

I’d also like to reiterate to the migrants:

Please reblog shit

This is not the kind of place to have a perfectly aestheticized “blog”. Reblogging posts 1) shows you aren’t a bot 2) helps you gain followers 3) helps your followers find more people to follow 4) makes your mutuals feel loved

And most importantly

5) This is how you spread nonsense like the plague.

Which is the spiritual essence of this website.

Also tagging is kinda bullshit. Yes tag for topics, but also you can put your thoughts in the tags in whatever disorganized fashion you want.

Also also, watch out for porn bots. They’re getting smarter with each wave.

Remain : Verb. Continue to exist, especially after other similar people or things have ceased to do so.

CREATURE????

I've talked a lot about how I wish we lived in a world where children weren't assigned a gender other than "child" at birth and are given a temporary name they can keep or change whenever they please as they age and they can decide based on their own life and upbringing what gender they feel like if any gender at all

And this is my perspective as an intersex person and an autistic person with a strong drive for autonomy

And I've gotten the weirdest pushback, as if this would ever actually happen. But the biggest critique I get is "well I WANT to have an assigned gender otherwise I wouldn't be who I am today" like yeah no shit, neither would I

Yall can't remove yourself from the bigger picture for a second and use your imaginations? Yall can't imagine a better system than the one we live under? The binary gender and sex system that harms and kills? The fact that it's not usually cis people who say this shit. Usually cis people just don't even understand how "child" could be a placeholder for a gender and don't engage in the convo lmao or just call me slurs and go away

Assigned genders hurt many people but yall straight up don't wanna hear intersex perspectives on what else we could be doing as humans

Hey also you know that post about getting better at cooking and handling meat and stuff?

Meat is really expensive and it goes bad pretty quickly.

If you're a new cook and you're trying to figure out how to pan-fry something so that it tastes good, might I recommend tofu?

I'm not saying "treat tofu like meat and try to replace all your favorite meat dishes with tofu" (though, I mean, if that sounds good - go for it), I'm saying "it's a lot easier to practice heating a pan and flipping objects in a pan for a meal and seasoning objects in a pan when the objects in the pan cost two dollars instead of ten dollars."

Tofu lasts a lot longer in the fridge than meat does, is easy to season, and you can easily learn how to pan-fry it into a tasty snack (or main course) and only requires a little extra prep. You can also pretend that the tofu is raw meat (the texture isn't dissimilar) and start practicing for things like how to take it out of a package or cut it on a sanitizable surface, etc.

My favorite way to cook tofu is to press extra firm tofu for at least half an hour (you can get a cheap tofu press for around ten dollars, or you can put it between two plates with some books on the top plate - this is that extra prep i was talking about - tofu cooks best if you press the excess water out), then slice a 14oz cake of it into 8 slices. I lay these flat and sprinkle cayenne pepper, mushroom powder, and smoked paprika on all of the slices, then I rub it in and flip the slices and season the other side the same way. I cook it in a frying pan with a thin layer of avocado or olive oil over medium heat, flipping every two minutes until the flat sides start to crisp up a little. Just before the last flip I add about a tablespoon of tamari sauce (you can use soy sauce, I've just got allergies) to the pan, sprinkling it over the tofu so that both sides get a little bit of sauce on them.

I have that with steamed vegetables and with jasmine rice (with two teaspoons of rice wine vinegar per 3 cups of dry rice and 4.5 cups of water). I also make a honey-siracha-mayo sauce that I dip the tofu in.

It's really good. And now I end up eating leftover rice and sauce with fried eggs for lunch at least two days a week and that's also really good.

This has become one of my go-to low spoon foods because it's so easy to make, it's filling, it tastes good to me, and it has become extremely easy for me to keep a stock of tofu in the fridge compared to the effort of keeping un-expired meat in the fridge.

I find that a 14oz pack of tofu feeds two adults for one meal, though I can stretch that to three meals if I'm the only one eating.

It makes a very cheap, filling, easy dinner that I can keep the ingredients around for without too much concern for food waste or anything going bad (the tofu that I get lasts about a month in the fridge and these days I just buy three packs every time I'm at aldi and cycle in new stock - it costs $1.50 per pack)

If you're interested in becoming a better cook, rather than worrying about actual high-risk products like raw chicken that can be seriously dangerous and also cost a fair amount, tofu has a pretty low barrier to entry while also being a good way to learn on a new ingredient that has some similar properties to raw meat.
