new zine just dropped! this link has the version for print and the version to read online. should be screenreader accessible--let me know if the formatting is fucked up and you can't access the alt text.

if you're leaving her a comment, make sure to ask her why she said it could ever be ok to create a similar blog to hers (which platforms stories exclusively of transfem abusers), but for "nonBlack survivors to tell their stories of being raped by Black people"

she shouldn't be allowed to forget she said that 👍

that is not what happened. someone asked her if a blog for "nonBlack survivors to tell their stories of being raped by Black people" could be a good idea, and she said that such a thing would not be different from what she is doing with her blog and that it could be done ethically. she is attempting to avoid addressing the fact that she said this

she cannot address this without either admitting that her blog is dangerous and bigoted, or continuing to play defense for the idea of a blog like hers that targets Black people instead of transfems, and so she will continue to pretend she didn't say what she said. do not let her forget that she said it

she has previously also platformed asks in which the asker misgenders the trans women they are talking about, and she has also said that she believes some trans women transition to escape allegations of rape

what exactly is her idea of "working to dismantle" bigotry in such a space, then? is it just not tolerating slurs? would Der Stürmer have been ok, actually, if it just kept the antisemitic slurs to a minimum but still catalogued every crime it could find committed by a Jewish person?

Don’t constantly shift your food around in the pan if you want to form a crust on it, the less you move it the better.

Don’t be afraid to add water if youre frying up food and the food/sauce looks a bit dry.

Don’t fry up your garlic early on in the cooking process (unless youre making a quick garlic oil) as the garlic flavour can straight up disappear if overcooked for too long and/or the garlic can become bitter if burnt

Don’t overcook your vegetables. Look up recommended cook times for them. Your distaste for vegetables stems from them being overcooked and being poorly seasoned.

Don’t microwave stuff for more than 2 minutes at a time unless you know what you’re doing. Reheating stuff tends to fare better when you mix food between microwaving times since microwaves develop hotspots if you microwave it uninterrupted for too long.

I’m currently in culinary school so I hope you don’t mind if I add a couple tips myself:

Salt and pepper are your bffs, salt especially. Even a little bit of salt can have such an impact on a dish and it helps bring out and amplify all the other flavors in a dish

When you’re cooking green veggies, never EVER cover them. You may have grown up hating broccoli, green beans and brussel sprouts that were limp and that horrid shade of olive puke green. It’s because if you cook or steam green veggies in a covered pot the enzymes and parts of the plant that make it green will break down and turn that nasty shade

Speaking of cooking vegetables, I’m begging you to please please look up and try roasting veggies if you’ve never done it before!! It’s so so easy, it works beautifully with practically any vegetable you can imagine and you can season them however you wish!

My last tip is if you’re going to invest in any sort of kitchenware, have it be a good sharp knife and good quality pots/pans. And if you do end up getting these items, make sure you take good care of them! Most metal kitchenware will last longer if you hand wash them, as opposed to always running them through the dishwasher which will rust them so much faster. So make sure to look up proper care if you’re unsure
