There are poke bowls in my city from a local place for $16. Super fresh fish and veg, warm rice, more than I can eat in one sitting, for the price of a sandwich and a drink at america's most mid-tier sandwich shop.

I KNOW.

So I immediately bought an order of each and had 4 delicious musubi and a drink for less than a combo at Burger King.

this is a vegetarian potato curry recipe that's about 75% spices; once you get the potatoes in there you can really do whatever you want with it

this is literally just pasta, broccoli, and cheese babey and you can live off that shit for DAYS it makes such a big portion

bro this spinach/pesto/3 cheese flatbread is so fucking tasty bro

also you can make the flatbread yourself it's super quick!!

oh hey I'm eating this white chickpea chili right now, much like the curry it's mostly spices and you can do p much do whatever you want with it

don't let the name fool you these potatoes are delicious any time. not just breakfast.

Garlic butter rice

preheat the oven to 375-400f (190-204C) depending on additives (higher end for if you add raw meat obv) and get: an oven-friendly baking pan or a cast-iron skillet with at least a bit of depth, a small saucepan, at least a cup of rice & 1 1/2 of liquid.

You can start with stock if you have it, or you can simmer water & flavors plus salt plus oil (a ~luxurious~ amount but not ridiculous. you cannot skip these because the salt and fat makes whatever your flavors are Do Stuff. Wash the rice and put it in the bottom of the baking pan, while your liquid simmers.

You can sub in butter or another fat you like the flavor of, but they cook up different, I like olive oil because the end result is a cake of tasty rice that's sorta solid & crunchy outside & soft inside. The best flavors imo are a combination of just a fuckload of garlic, some mixture like sambhar (chicken & veg-containing) or shawarma spices (pork, beef), and something bright & herby like basil or fennel.

my brain: 45 years ago this person could've made a public access television show that ran for half a decade on the strength of this concept with the right framing device and it would've been paid for with federal arts grants and maybe even national syndication rights. now they're begging for a single minute of engagement on tiktok in the hopes that maybe someday the abstract metrics of digital media platforms will translate into a tangible career

me: yeah me: cute frog though

Of the THIRD most spoken language behind English and Spanish in every state. Notice of course that the languages reflect massive displacements from victims of US empire, but also that more states’ tertiary language is German or French than an indigenous language.

The American ideology and its representative culture factually inspired the Holocaust. The American West was the model for the Nazi East.

Trump lost in 2020 and the US is still enabling a genocide, despite ostensibly being “anti-fascist.”

The United States IS genocide. Its biblically-esteemed founding documents prescribe ethnic cleansing and apartheid. The American soldier, subject to bipartisan fawning, is the universal symbol not of freedom and democracy, but of oppression and tyranny.

Vultures are holy creatures.

Tending the dead.

Bowing low.

Bared head.

Whispers to cold flesh,

“Your old name is not your king.

Vultures are also responsible for keeping diseases at bay.

Vulture stomach acid is so powerful that it can kill anthrax and many other deadly diseases.

So when they consume the carcass of a creature that has died of disease, they actually destroy the disease within it too!
