people are always like "Oh a vampire wouldn't get horny while drinking someone's blood, that's like getting horny while eating a sandwich" and like man have you never had a really good fucking sandwich?
The sandwich i had for lunch didnt moan and scream and squirm against my body and then become limp and pliable when i was done now did it

not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women
and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic š" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about
like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).
don't make me tap the five year old teen vogue article, etc
All experiences of escapism are not created equally.

Over 10 years ago I drew this mother naga with her kid and a bowl of gulab jamun, and I was blown away to see people still reblogging it and saying kind things here. I decided to draw a sequel, the PTA (People That are Anacondas) meeting is over, and she finally gets to have some gulab jamun. c: I really hope this cheers you up some.
My first reaction: she finally gets to have some!!
My second reaction: oh gosh they're holding tails in the second picture okay I need to reblog this.
never related to authors being like "childhood is such a blessed innocent time", catch me with that jane eyre shit like "such dread as children only can feel" and "I then sat with my doll on my knee til the fire got low, glancing round occasionally to make sure nothing worse than myself haunted the shadowy room"
"Adults can change their circumstances; children cannot. Children are powerless, and in difficult situations they are the victims of every sorrow and mischance and rage around them, for children feel all of these things but without any of the ability that adults have to change them. Whatever can take a child beyond such circumstances, therefore, is an alleviation and a blessing."
I find this passage from the Mary Oliver essay "Staying Alive" very poignant and true.
what's the point of initiating conversations with people when 99.9% of them turn out to be normies
okay. how do I put this. if you approach interactions with strangers as if the vast majority of them are unbearable losers who aren't worth your time, you will find yourself not liking most of the people you meet because you'll be looking for any excuse to write them off as unbearable losers. I know this is hard to hear but sometimes the problem is you.
studying history is like. here's to another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be. thank you women who fight for abortion and contraception and independance from men for another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be
sometimes politicians in order to prove a point do experiments like work as a waiter for a day, use a wheelchair to navigate around the city or survive a month on minimal salary. i think every politician who believes sex work is work, who is actively pro sex work and pro porn, who protects pimps and doesn't give a damn about trafficking should do an experiment and become a sex worker at the brothel for a day. they should show people how it's totally normal to be raped multiple times a day, get ptsd, get infections, get cut of more than 40% of their paycheck, not being able to say no to people they don't like and don't want to have sex with, not being able to say no to humiliating sexual practices they don't want to do, not being able to get back to a normal job if anyone finds out about the past, and so much more. let them show how nice sex work is, let men lead the way they so desperately want.
they don't want to be a sex worker? but why not? after all it's no different than working in mcdonalds.

from a certain standpoint birdwatching is a sort of gacha
-reliant on RNG random encounters
-instills a deep sense of fomo
-seasonally-cycled releases
-becomes increasingly financially prohibitive the more you want to expand your list and/or document your encounters
-achieved goals sound meaningless to those not in the hobby
never give up!
Let's ambush mama! š¼
Invention of bread is weird bc itās like some Neolithic ppl were like āhey you know that tall grass thing thatās sorta edible but not really how about we take it and grind it into a very very fine powder which is extra backbreaking right now bc the wheel wonāt be invented for awhile and then we mix it with water and heat it up and you know what letās also toss some mold in there just to see what happensā
there are a number of distinct steps though, each of which can be observed in isolation.Ā āgrind tough seeds to make them edibleā is practiced with other foods besides grains (like acorns). the natural next step after that is to add water, which gives you porridge: a common ancient roman meal was puls,Ā very similar to modern cream of wheat. once you have that you also have a simple dough, and baking it to preserve it is a logical experiment (as is baking some you forgot about and left out for a few days, just so you donāt waste it... voila, leavened bread)
there could have been, and probably was (though iām not an archaeologist) a substantial time between each of these innovations. itās not too hard to imagine people being chill withĀ āgrind seeds for soup, select plants for bigger seedsā for a good while
Do you ever wonder how many amazing things are fated to go forever uninvented because each step necessary to invent them is a completely unintuitive thing to do?
Okay, that's not how bread was invented. I wrote a potted history, I could try to dig that out if anyone is interested?
Please do
I'm putting this on my bread blog, because of course I am. Also tagging @appendingfic who I think expressed interest.
Tens of thousands of years ago people foraged and hunted for their food and ate whatever they could. Among their forage were wild cereals, which included the ancestors of modern cultivated wheat, barley and others.
People like sweet things. Grains are starchy, but if sprouted they start converting those starches to sugars, so people would've left grains in water to sprout. These sprouts are also easier to digest, thus more nutritious, which bestowed an invisible advantage on those sprouting their grains.
If grains are left in water too long, however, they begin to ferment. Alcohol is produced. People like alcohol.
In ancient Mesopotamia the fermented grains were experimented with, resulting in an early form of beer. The process of making that beer was quite complicated and involved a combination of sprouted and mashed grains.
People wanted beer all year round, but early beers did not have long shelf lives and the grain could only be harvested at certain times. So the ancient Mesopotamians invented a way of storing the ingredients for beer.
It was made of the grain mash, honey, dates and spices that were fermented to make beer. For storage, prior to fermentation, the mixture was baked dry, cut into smaller pieces and baked again to remove all water. This produced bapir, a product very much like biscotti, which could be stored for later rehydration and fermentation. Sometimes it was eaten instead.
I've made bapir, and I've eaten it. It is brittle but delicious. It's also a form of unleavened bread.
Bread was invented as a way to store the ingredients for beer, which was most likely a development from a chance discovery. Leavened bread (that is, with bubbles) may well have been discovered when a mixture like that for bapir was accidentally allowed to ferment before baking. Yeast is responsible for both alcohol production and leavening.
There's a lot more to it, in terms of the cultivation of grains and the development of milling, than I've written here. It's been a process of millennia to go from chewing sprouts to eating soft white bread like that pictured. But every step along the way was small and simple.
I never would have guessed that beer pre-existed bread. I've always just assumed that beer was an accidental discovery by breadmakers.
Nope, beer came first. Mead is also very old.
Thanks, ancient humans!
Australian First Nations people developed their own bread making culture independent of the beer-base route. As far as I'm aware, pre colonial Australia had little to nothing by way of fermented drinks at all, so the likelihood of beer being part of the evolution of native breads is unlikely. Their breads, made from native grasses, are both leavened and unleavened. There's also different bread making practices using different grains, dependent on location - Australia is big and Indigenous culture over here is no more a monolith than it is anywhere else. Kamilaroi bread is different to Yuin bread, for example.
The colonization of Australia actively suppressed Indigenous knowledge, and creating an image of the idle wandering tribes was required to justify taking Aboriginal lands. This means a lot of the archeology of how First Nations people developed their breads has not just been lost but deliberately suppressed. The idea that they were settled enough to have ovens, let alone a bread-making tradition, is only now really being examined. I wouldn't be surprised if the grains-porridge-bread route was true for Aussie breads, though.
people telling diabetics in that last post to āgo to the bathroom to do their insulinā do you understand how awful that is, like for a million reasons but protip from someone on an injection based medication: Please do not put anything inside your body in a bathroom, thatās where the shit and piss live, disabled people donāt owe you a major infection because you canāt look away and handle your own issues with needles while they take their meds.
Like you know how people started/have started pointing out that it's disgusting to expect/want/tell nursing parents to go nurse their baby in the bathroom? Because it's uncomfortable, demeaning, dehumanizing, unsanitary, and dangerous?
I have shocking news about how all this applies to the disabled as well.
Also while Iām at it thereās no such thing as a genital preference for gay men and lesbians. Itās a REQUIREMENT that a partner be the same sex! The END.
A preference would be āoh man Iām out of my favorite fruit, apples. Thatās okay though, while I like it the best, Iāll eat oranges too since I have them.ā
A preference implies that it can be changed, that itās only a choice of which you prefer at the time. What has been called āgenital preferenceā is actually so fucking homophobic itās unreal. We donāt choose this! Itās innate. And itās sexual orientation, and cannot be changed.
