There were hot people in the '90s; they ate bread @meneatyoghurt - Tumblr Blog

Seen a couple of messy surrogate stories from the US this week. So glad we don't do things the same way here. I don't know enough to know whether there are flaws in the system (I'm sure there probably are) but at least we don't have...that.

#here the woman carrying and birthing the baby is the legal mother #until such time as a parental order is completed (no less than 6 weeks after birth)#which i think is the best way of doing it if you're going to do it at all #was funny the other day someone asked about americans adopting from the uk on reddit #and the answer was...yeah we don't do that #it's actually much more common for uk people to adopt from the us because of your fucked up surrogacy laws

With egg yolks left over from making cocktails, I've made mayo twice now. Turns out it's piss easy. Why do people make such a fuss about it?

#is this a case of people being impatient?#it takes 5 mins to do by hand so why do you even need stuff like the 'pull through method'#unless you're in a commercial kitchen maybe #(obvs if you're not capable of whisking that's fine... it definitely makes me tired)

Best not to click the dodgy looking link from the account below that's reposting people's art, just as a warning

#heated rivalry #no idea what it is because i haven't clicked it #but for a brief second i wondered if they were selling stuff with other people's art #i will never know though because i'm not clicking it

Finished two completely inadequate weeks of training at work. From Tuesday I'll be in my role full time and there's no way I'm ready.

Anyway, I'm getting better at making pisco sours.

#these are a bit too easy to drink sometimes #they are more of a sippy one because they're not super fruity as such #but also you can sip it quite fast...

From 1945. Thought this was an interesting little story.

#i'm looking for someone with the same name so that's why i stumbled on this #well actually i'm looking for her husband because i can't figure out who she married #can't find a marriage record he's not on the two censuses where she has that name and she's buried with her sister #it's very frustrating

Funny that it's fine to talk about the backgrounds of characters until someone says "bit ironic that a Swiss character is being played by a Swedish one when the two countries get confused", and then it gets shouted down as if it can't even be mentioned.

I'm not saying it's really a big deal, or that having a white guy from one country play a white guy from another country is the same thing as other discussions around representation. I don't think anyone is genuinely mad about it, from what I can see. Mild annoyance is the worst I've seen. I don't think anyone would say anything if the actor were German or French (maybe some tongue-in-cheek comments! gotta keep the rivalries going)

I just think the least you can do is accept it when someone with personal experience says "no, really, people get Sweden and Switzerland confused often". Perhaps if you've never heard of that it's because you're a) better at geography than some people and b) someone with no connection to either country.

Again, I don't think it's a big deal, and I like what I've seen of Edvin in Young Royals. I'm excited to see what he's going to do in Heated Rivalry. But just maybe when a Swiss or Swedish person mildly grumbles about it, you could go "yeah that does sound a little annoying" and not "well I've never heard of that, so it must not happen". Or not say anything at all.

#heated rivalry #i'm neither swiss nor swedish #but i've lived in switzerland and been asked 'do you speak swedish' multiple times #(...yes some (better than my german actually) but that's not connected)

:-/

#i don't care about the other couples i'm so sorry #emily hampshire though...#(also i did enjoy edvin ryding in young royals and it will be interesting to see him act in english)#it's not that there's supporting cast because obvs you need supporting cast #it's like....there's supporting cast to the characters i was hoping were just supporting cast

Watching the Bon Appetit video with Fallow. I love whenever I spot a woman in their kitchens, and I think they actually have some who are in senior-ish positions, but it's so depressing when they're setting up for lunch service and it's just a sea of blokes.

#it doesn't help that the industry is just inherently not set up for parents...or rather mothers since a lot of these guys are dads #like they say 'oh staff here do three and a half days' but what that actually means is 3 reeeaaally long hours and one day basically 9-5 #and that's considered GOOD #don't get me wrong three full day off is good but the compromise is three days that are...i think it's over 12 hours maybe even 14 or 15 #from what they show online (obvs can't know what it's like for real) their kitchens seem like a fairly supportive non-toxic environment #and still spotting a woman there is rare

Curious...are you a millennial who has ever used a private twitter account either as a diary or as somewhere to talk to a very close circle of friends (while also having a public account)? Or is it a gen z thing?

#i never knew it was something people did until i saw people doing social media fics with it as a feature #it's kind of baffling to me #i mean i guess the second one is slightly more understandable...but even then i think i'd just expect you to have the one private account?

I am so fed up of "infantilising"

The real infantilisation is people writing Shane and Ilya as teenagers, like 14/15, but portraying them like they're 8.

I am so fed up of "infantilising"

#and i don't mean people doing it #i mean people who have made it their favourite word #i just saw someone say Shane's “shanebug” nickname is infantilising #like fair enough if you don't like it (I'm getting a little fed up of it)#but it's a childhood nickname #of course it's childlike it's literally meant up be from when he was a child #and it's not uncommon for childhood nicknames to survive to adulthood #especially from parents...

#every time i see this i love that you can tell it's gov.uk #it's so dull and yet somehow so distinctive

Before this fandom I've never come across people expecting fic to be routinely tagged as happily ever after

#heated rivalry #it's not that i don't get it... sometimes authors decide they want to play around and not keep the couple together #but also I'm just like... well you get what you get 🤷‍♀️#if it doesn't end the way i want it's not going to be the end of the world (or more likely I'll stop reading before then)

Writing tip: replace any instance where you say "which made x do y"

#this might be a writing tip for rachel reid specifically after i just saw an extract from one of her books for the nth time #but also it's something i've seen in fanfic a few times #x did this which made y do this...which made z do this #booooring

If Edvin Ryding is cast as Luca, I'd like them to make him Swedish and have this exchange:

"...the Swiss kid..."

"I'm Swedish..."

(or keep him Swiss and it's the other way around)

#heated rivalry #i'm not believing any casting rumours until they're confirmed #but if they have cast a swedish guy as a swiss guy...please acknowledge this all too common confusion #(obvs it's fine since you know...they have an american playing a russian)#(but i just need them to make it clear that swiss and swedish are not the same thing)

People who rock up to the self checkout before I've even had the chance to pick up my bags turn me into my mother.

"Would you be as quick in my grave?!"
