Always use more garlic than the recipe calls for

"Ehhh fuck it close enough" is a great measurement tool

Find like 5 recipes that you like, adjust them how you like them, make them until you hate them

Clean as you go

If a recipe is from a mommy blog, you will need more spices

Like, this house is a beautiful big fuck you to homophobes, specifically the West Boro Baptist Church. Why?

It’s literally across the street from them.

It was bought, on purpose. Painted in rainbow, on purpose. How was it paid? By Aaron Jackson’s Planting Peace foundation.

They have hosted lemonade stands for LGBT fundraisers, had gay wedding ceremonies, etc. They are naturally targeted with anti-LGBT graffiti and worse but so far didn’t give a fuck.

BONUS:

They have a glorious next-door neighbor btw: Transgender House

How did that happen? Once per year, equality house gets painted in transexual colors for a week. One special person saw that and desired a permanent one.

[Image description: a tweet from The Hungover Pundit:

“A friend once shared what she called the Parable of the Choir: A choir can sing a beautiful note impossibly long because singers can individually drop out to breathe as necessary and the note goes on.

“Social justice activism should be like that, she said.

“That’s stuck with me.”

The thing is, I don’t know why I feel like a man.  I was teased and bullied for it a lot when I was little.  I’ve never had stereotypically American male interests.  I never cared about sports or cars or guns.  I was more interested in music and cooking and the arts.  I’ve always been emotionally in tune and sensitive, even when I did my best to suppress my emotions to survive a childhood of abuse from other children.

It’s not physical either.  I don’t feel like a man because I have a penis or a beard.  If you put my brain in a robot body or any other body, my essence would still feel male (I assume).  I literally can’t imagine what being any other gender would feel like, since I feel so acutely male.

I think that’s why the concept of being transgender always made sense to me.  I’m a man.  I don’t have any bloody clue why I feel like a man, but I don’t feel that it’s tied to my body or my interests or the way that I’ve been treated.  I feel like a man because of something beyond that.  Something ephemeral.  So, why couldn’t others feel the same?  Why couldn’t a person who’s been misidentified as a girl feel like a boy for the exact same nebulous reasons that I do?

And, since gender really doesn’t make any sense to me anyway, why couldn’t there also be people who feel as if they don’t have one?  Or who flow across genders like a ship on a map?

Are there people out there whose sense of their own gender is inseparable from their physical form?  If you put those people into robot bodies or, simply, other physically different bodies, would their gender identity also swap?  If so, why?  Are they actually more lost in their gender identity than I am and they need to hone in on the physical in order to anchor themselves?

However

White people really need to watch how you approach Indigenous & Black people who happen to be anti-vaccine. Indigenous & Black communities have a long history of being harmed by people in the medical field, and that continues today. Indigenous women have been forcibly sterilized as recently as 2018- and that’s just what made the news, it doesn’t include all the every day aggressions from medical professionals, hospital staff, etc.
