An Overview of Note-Taking Styles

Villa in The Netherlands

Preheat oven to 225F. Slice 1 pint of cherry tomatoes in half, place cut-side up on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and crack on some salt and black pepper. Roast undisturbed 2-3 hours until slightly shriveled and absolutely delicious.

Bring a large pot of water to boil.

While water is coming to a boil, slice 2-3 heirloom tomatoes into 1/8s (like quarter them and then slice in half). Place in a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and toss with like 1/2 tsp salt.

Finely mince 1/2 videlia or white onion and 2 cloves garlic.

In a heavy bottomed pot, heat a few tbsp vegan butter and a splash of olive oil on medium low heat: Sautée onions until softened, then add garlic. By this point the water should be boiling so generously salt it and add 1/2 package thin noodles like spaghetti or linguini.

Add the tomato water that drained off of the tomatoes to the onion/garlic pot. Simmer a minute to reduce slightly, then add the drained tomatoes, the roasted cherry tomatoes and any juices from the sheet. Add more butter or olive oil if it looks dry.

Squeeze the juice of 1/2 of a lemon on top, add a huge handful on chopped basil, and 1/2 bunch finely minced chives.

Simmer on low until the pasta is just shy of finished. Using tongs, pull the pasta from the water and add to the tomato mixture. You want some of that pasta water to help build the sauce! Stir for a few moments, season with additional s+p if needed.

It has been literal years but every time I see Martin’s tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it. 

Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.

I’ve done this to several men, and they catch on rather quickly. You’ll be able to have a conversation right then and there, and it works long term too - they might’ve forgot their manners by the time you talk to them again, but by repeating this, they’ll eventually learn to let you talk without you having to do this at the start of every convo. Source: I have a very stubborn older brother, who eventually learned too.

1. When they interrupt you, stop talking. Don’t try to raise your voice or battle them. Be completely quiet and wait.

2. Ignore everything they’re saying. Do not actually listen - just wait until they shut up. Don’t make a point of anything they say, do not answer to anything they say, do not refer to anything they say here. Literally do not listen a single word. Let them rant as long as they want.

3. When they finally shut up and wait for your reaction, say: ”I wasn’t done talking.”

4. Start over whatever you were saying when they interrupted you. I don’t care if it was a 10-minute explanation of rocket science. Start. Over. Repeat you original thought, but do not add anything related to what they just said while talking over you. That gives them the idea that it’s okay to interrupt you, you’ll still listen and pay attention and they’ll get their point clear without having to listen to yours. (It’s especially funny when you get done and they expect you to keep going talking about whatever they talked over you. The face when it sinks in that you didn’t listen a single word is glorious.)

5. If they interrupt you again, return to step 1. If you find yourself repeating the cycle over 3 times, tell them: ”you’re not letting me speak. Either you listen and wait for your turn, or our conversation ends here.” If they try to make excuses, laugh it off or keep interrupting, end the conversation. Prove them that if they wont let you speak, they’re not worth your time.

Why does this work? First, because sometimes talking over is internalized and men don’t actually notice they’re doing it. Being vocally called out makes them realize it and pay attention to it - especially if it happens more than once. Secondly, by refusing to aknowledge anything they say when they interrupt you, they’ll soon realize they will not get their own point across if they keep doing that. Peoole and especially men have the need to be heard and paid attention to when they talk - when you make it clear that by talking over you, they will not have your attention, they’ll learn to wait until you’re done, because they know that’s when you will be paying attention and actually listening.

And, oh, yeah, the President just got impeached.
