Being "against the war" means fucking nothing if no serious action is taken. "No, no, i'm against the war" doesn't help me when i'm listening to the 30th explosion in the last +- 20 minutes. Condemning the war doesn't stop drones from flying over my city. I don't give a shit about how against the war they are until the war is going and no one tries to stop it.

Oh, but they tried protesting, but they are getting jailed so they stopped? Literally look up the revolution of dignity in 2014. Want something more recent? Nepal. Once again, there are 140 millions of russians. You can't fucking jail 140 millions of people. Also — more russians were killed on the frontline in a foreign country than were jailed for protests. Pretty damn telling, isn't it?

Ordinary russians produce weapons.

Ordinary russian journalists spread propaganda.

Ordinary russian teachers volunteer to come to the occupied territories of Ukraine to “re-educate” Ukrainian children.

Ordinary russians kidnap Ukrainian children.

Ordinary russians, even those who live abroad, literally voted for putin.

Ordinary russians make memes about killing Ukrainians.

Did you guys know that the heart can be unrolled? It’s really just a muscly tube once you fold it open. (Seriously it’s true and it’s gnarly as hell)

15oz can pumpkin puree

2 eggs

½ tsp baking soda

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp vanilla

pinch of salt

1 tsp cardamom

pinch nutmeg

-----------

Instructions:

Pie:

Preheat the oven to 325°F

Prepare the pie crust (that's another recipe's job- either find a scratch recipe or buy a pre-made dough or graham cracker crust)

Blend 2½ cups sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl (if using a mixer, blend with a paddle attachment)

Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt; blend until well mixed

Add the milk and melted butter, whisk until well mixed (if using a mixer, blend with the whisk attachment)

Pour your batter into the crust, filling right up to the edge (the mix will be more liquid than solid, but it will rise/solidify in the oven)

Bake at 325°F for 55 minutes

Remove from the oven and let it cool

Top with sifted powdered sugar

Zest an orange over the top of the pie (microplane if possible but regular zester is fine; have found that the most aesthetically pleasing version is to peel the orange and then finely dice the peel but that's a hassle!)

Whipped cream:

Put your metal mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for at least 15 minutes

Whisk powdered sugar, cardamom, and nutmeg together in bowl

Add heavy cream; whisk until stiff peaks start forming

Del Toro's Frankenstein: you were just a child. you didn't deserve that. you were hurt and it was so unfair and he refused to even acknowledge how he failed you. you didn't ask to be made but you're here now. maybe he doesn't deserve forgiveness, but you deserve to be freed from anger and spite, you deserve to forgive. can you learn to do it? can you learn to be alive?
