life becomes so beautiful when you start cooking rice in liquids other than water

utopians

put that basmati rice in the cooker with coconut cream and chicken stock and an entire onion that you've diced and sauteed with garlic until transparent. and some salt and pepper. Trust me

i get that i can expect to see the “unreality” tag a lot on my stuff. i post a lot of weird eldritch shit and even when i post something that isn’t it’s still deeply steeped in my nonsense.

but i’m fucking losing my mind at how even my posts that are correct and true will be tagged that. fatal incuriosity is inescapable when you’re me.

ephemeralhorror

my “a coin is a three sided object. never forget that.” post earned an unreality tag at one point

i’m sorry but maybe you’re not the best watchdog for what’s real and what isn’t, champ. i think being the arbiter of reality requires at least a basic understanding of 3d space.

Controversial take but if you wrote a novel about two women falling in love and you changed one of them into a man you would have the most enormous smash hit of a romance book on your hands

Maybe because I met like 15 butch lesbians who are the real life equivalent of the ideal male romance lead and I have yet to meet a man who fits the archetype.

Ladies do you want a man who reads you classical novels when you can’t sleep? Bakes cakes, knits sweaters and is able to remodel your bathroom? Good with animals, kids and has a career they’re passionate about? Handsome but not vain? Sweet, sensitive but charmingly rough around the edges? A good conversationalist? Well that’s not a man, that’s my friend Jennifer

"Parent's rights" is as much of a red flag to me as "Family values". When you examine what people actually mean by these terms it always boils down to the usual "the family is a system of domination and many parents want even more control and violence within it".

It is very much like when people say they support "State's rights" (to slavery), as some in the notes have pointed out.

Sometimes it also means the parental right to keep child marriage legal.

I want to make this absolutely clear to kids: children didn't used to be stuck inside the house like you are today. There used to be public places you could hang out. It used to be fairly safe to walk around because trucks weren't designed to kill children. You didn't need a car to go anywhere so kids without a license weren't trapped. There weren't 24/7 cable news networks constantly scaring parents with anecdotes even as crime was at all time lows and the biggest danger comes from adults kids know not strangers.

It's easy to ignore old people talking about "the good ol' days" because a lot of the people saying that shit are racist assholes, but the way society treats kids today really is objectively worse than how kids used to be treated. You deserve better, and you should know that better things are possible. We just need to kill the suburbs and for-profit news.

When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, I could go for a bike ride or walk with my sister or friends and we could leave after breakfast and not come back until dinner and our parents weren't worried. We lived on the edge of town, so we could turn left into the woods or turn right and go downtown or go straight and go to a friend's house in the neighborhood. I went to a park or the community pool or went out for ice cream alone from a young age.

I also regularly walked to and from school alone from as young as first grade (so, about age 6). And I'm not saying I walked three miles uphill in snow both ways, but I checked a map and it was over half a mile and crossed at least one street that people drive pretty fast on. And that was normal.

All the same for the ‘60s.

To those people in the comments: Yes of course the world wasn’t a paradise, kids got killed in traffic accidents, etc.

BUT.

  • There wasn’t 24/7 cable news whomping up anxiety and fear in parents.
  • There wasn’t nearly as much of a narrative of “cities are dangerous places for kids.” This idea that sprawl suburbs are safer for kids is maybe true from ages 0-10 at most but being isolated, bored, and anxious, and generally unable to do anything, meet people, or have any formative life experiences without being driven somewhere by parents, is arguably a lot more damaging. How many kids are essentially living in a Truman Show-esque bubble, discouraged from ever doing anything?
  • Kids really could go to a lot of places on their own, especially if there was adequate public transit - I used to take three buses to go to high school, on my own, and nobody used to freak out about calling CPS on parents who let their kids ‘free roam’ (over a certain age).
  • Cars and trucks were much, much smaller, lower, and lighter, generally speaking. SUVs and crossovers did not exist. Even though getting hit by any car is still bad, getting hit by a vehicle whose hood is taller than you are results in fatal injuries much more often because you’re more likely to suffer head and thoracic injuries from impact and then fall under the vehicle. In addition, new vehicle designs have such poor visibility they need to add all kinds of cameras and sensors to assist the driver.
