“Blue” isn’t a race. No one is born a cop.

We’re all a part of a very racist system. Education, healthcare, law enforcement, all of it.

Sadly, at least in this country, the job attracts authoritarians and racists. Those who do good for the sake of justice are a cowed minority.

The same can be said of doctors nurses, and teachers.

The color of your clothes is not a race. Wearing a color, representing it as a group, doesn’t make you a race – generally that makes you a gang.

And a gang is a weapon that you trade your mind in for…

I had some ground meat that needed used up and an urge for some comfort food, so we ended up with meatloaf and mashed potatoes tonight. So, SNC just came back into the kitchen to paw at the (empty) oven door again, hoping to break in after some 😹

the chemical mentioned in the article… like only if you ate 100kg of mac and cheese in one sitting… that’s how much it’d take to be toxic.

well i know what the fuck and how the fuck much im doing for dinner today

Shit, man, we have formaldehyde in our bloodstream at all times. Our own blood is full of dangerous chemicals.

I fucking hate these fearmongering food purists who want us to subsist on air and organic kale. Especially when these same dipshits are the ones on the health food bandwagons that promote eating large amounts of real weird superfoods. Like apricot kernels. Which contain a shitton of a substance that is converted in the body into CYANIDE. But hey, amygdalin/laetrile is supposedly a cancer-fighter, so we should take it so we don’t get cancer. Right?

At this point I don’t have a problem just coming out and saying I HATE health culture. No really. I hate it. I want people to just not be so fucking invested in the health of strangers.

Like, I’m old and dying. Let me be old and die and eat my mac and cheese in fucking peace please.

I truly, truly don’t give a shit if my food is killing me. Not eating would kill me sooner, and easy-fix stuff is pretty much the only way to keep myself fed. Come to my house and fix me healthy food I don’t have to pay for or shut the FUCK up.

“When Trump made office it put the fear back into the idea of it all. These kids were feeling fear for the first time and had never been touched. Why? Because we worked so hard to make sure they were never touched.”

This is Lynn Koval. She’s owned a gay bar in Biloxi, Mississippi for over twenty years.

I started writing down quotes from this interview, but eventually gave up because I SWEAR every single thing she said was quotable. She talks about the challenges of building intergenerational community, the continued importance of gay bars, knowing our history, and her hope for our future. Listen to her. It’s such a breath of fresh air to hear people covering LGBTQ issues and history in the American South. We don’t all live on the coasts, y’all.

@isabelknight Is it? I’ve tried that stuff and it’s really thick. I thought regular cream was like… drinkable

I honestly have no idea whether it’s what is meant in the contexts you’re seeing it, but I’m not sure what else it might be.

But I mean…I also dump unwhipped heavy whipping cream into coffee sometimes, so I think of it as drinkable, even if I don’t drink it straight.

Yeah, they do also sell extra thick spooning cream here, so maybe that’s similar to what you tried? I use a splash of the equivalent of whipping cream in coffee too, and it’s definitely pourable. Sometimes it will thicken up some as it sits in the fridge, before it goes obviously bad. That could be another possible explanation if it’s thicker; could just not be the freshest.
