If u cook a meal that’s called a process. U can now label ur meal as processed food.

Processed sugar is sugar going through a process. Please understand ur simply repeating the same diet dogma that kills people on the regular.

In general u shouldn’t have to monitor your glucose at all unless you’re a diabetic. Ur body does all the heavy lifting stop trying to starve it.

Sorry but Judaism is still bad for women just like the other Abrahamic religions. Even if Judaic misogyny doesn't, as you say, have the power to influence people in the wider world, women WITHIN those religious communities are still cast as lesser. Synagogues don't allow women to sit near the main alter, they have to sit to side behind screens.... There are hardly any women in the Torah compared to males and male leaders and women weren't allowed to be religious leaders(rabbis) until the late 1900s... That history matters to women's trajectory. Sorry but Judaism staying right next to the other religions that damage women's rights and interests through organization and control (subjugation) of women's positions in society.

Feminism is against all (and especially male orientated) religions, not just the globally powerful ones.

hi i never said judaism doesn't have misogyny issues so please go and argue with someone who did

[lazylittledragon]

ok someone please correct me if i'm wrong but am i weird for thinking those 'audiobooks don't count as reading' posts are ableist as fuck????

REPLICA'S PATREON IS FINALLY HERE!

You’ve asked for it and now that I am back I can finally put some wonderful treats up on my brand new Patreon including a sneak peek to the next Replica update, some sketches, and Part 1 of a short story focused on Replica Donnie:

"The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Data"

It centers around Donnie's journey towards becoming the powerhouse we know in Replica as well as the drastic steps he takes in the early months of the Krang invasion to achieve his lofty goals.

NOTE: I highly recommend signing up on a browser or desktop (not on an iPhone) due to extra fees that were recently applied.

2ND NOTE: while some things such as the Replica page WIP will eventually make their way onto my Tumblr, the sketches and these short stories will stay exclusive to Patreon for the time being. This is because most of the content on my Patreon will be focusing on sensitive themes of war, a deeper look into the characters, and maybe even a bit of romance. All things I doubt would have been touched on in the Rise canon. So think of it as just extra fluff for readers who want more secret lore from this universe. If any of these themes DO interest you then please consider checking it out HERE! (I might bring it onto Kofi, in the future if people have trouble accessing it.)

Wake up, BurningCheese/GoldenSpice babes, new poorly drawn blorbos just dropped

They look cooler in my head, I swear.

the images didn't show up the first time wtf lol

The kids are finally here, yay. I promised I'd show you them, and I finally stopped being an asshole and followed through. Almost got 200 followers and I'm very grateful for it - really, I'm nobody. I'm just some clown who says dumb stuff and makes dumb memes and writes cringey stories, and yet I convinced almost 200 people to tune in. Thank you all so much, users on here and anons in my inbox alike. As a token of appreciation, you can all endure my rambling about my OCs and witness a person in their early 20s draw like a 12 year old.

The boy is Pepper Jack (or Pepper Jack Cookie). He's the firstborn and older than his sister by a few years. He takes after his mother in a lot of ways, primarily in her appearance (save for nabbing his father's red eyes). He's incredibly bright (and a smartass lol), preferring to think his way out of conflict rather than fight his way out... not that he's above violence at all, if that glaive doesn't give it away lol. He harbors a deep sense of love and loyalty towards his family and his peoples, and carries the weight of his responsibilities and heritage with as much confidence and poise as he can muster. (There are/will be times where he stumbles, of course. He's not perfect. He struggles a lot more than he lets on, really. But he tries his best, for everyone's sake.)

The girl is Matar Paneer (or Matar Paneer Cookie). Again, she's the younger one by a few years. She was all but made in her father's image, save for inheriting her mother's eyes. She's a little firecracker: lively and fun-loving and stubborn as a mule. She doesn't ask "can I have/do this thing", she tells you "I'm going to have/do this thing". Golden is proud as anything to see her daughter be so greedy... until that greed comes into conflict with her and Spice's authority lol. But she's a good kid, despite being such a handful. She has an enormous heart and is not afraid to stand up for others/what's right, and she loves her parents and brother more than anything in the world. She might doubt her own capabilities, she might secretly fear that she's not strong enough to do what she needs to... but she keeps pushing anyway, because she'd honestly choose death over quitting.

Your eyes are not deceiving you, Pepper Jack's wings are blue lol. There's an actual reason for that. And that USO (Unidentified Sitting Object) in Matar Paneer's hair is a lotus (the cheese one in the GCK decor set lol). There's a reason for that, too. I thought it would be cool to give Jack a glaive and swap out the normal blade for that of a khopesh sword (glaives are not Egyptian, they only saw use in Asia and Europe, but I just HAD to give him a glaive), to add that Egyptian touch. Paneer's supposed to be wearing a pattu pavadai, it's a traditional Indian dress for young girls. It's a blouse plus a skirt. She's holding katar, Indian knives (Cilantro Cobra has them, too). And her hair's supposed to be in a low ponytail.

Merchant thinks that if they explain what their terrible drawings are supposed to convey, people will understand their intended vision and the pain will stop

I sat down and did research into both Egyptian and Hindu mythology for the sake of drawing inspiration for them both. I'll explain in detail in another post, but basically: both of them take after one Egyptian god and one Hindu god each. Golden takes after Ra and Spice takes after Shiva, so I figured I'd follow along that line.

Please flood my inbox with questions about them now. I've really been dying to talk about them for ages now. I've drafted extensive character sheets for them both, I even made up in-game descriptions for them lol. They're my little fankid blorbos and I love them :') I hope you all come to love them, too

(Also, I'm sorry they're on lined paper. I'm visiting family rn and that's the only paper my grandmother has in her house. I'd have to drive to a stationery to get printer paper and I'd really rather not drive in this particular country lol (shit roads, even shittier drivers). I'll doodle them on printer paper whenever somebody remembers to bring me some)

Antis who throw insults and harass others online over fiction really never learn that the more you do that, the more you show you are the problematic ones and that your harassments only fuel us to create more to show our love to our ships that you hate. We're just here loving our own fictional ships with fictional characters and do our own thing and they will be so affected and riled up out of the blue. It's actually really funny how much energy they spend on hating and cursing strangers online but it doesn't do anything to us 🤡🤡🤡

[pr0shipcorner]

I've said it before but I need to say it again,

"PROSHIP" IS NOT SHORT FOR "PROBLEMATIC SHIP"

The "pro" does NOT mean "problematic". The "pro" is a prefix that means "pro": favoring, supporting, or championing (Merriam-Webster).

"Proship" is an adjective that describes someone/something as being in favor/support of/championing shipping, including ships generally considered to be "problematic". Just because someone or some group is proship, does not mean they have any problematic ships.

The idea that the "pro" is short from "problematic" and that the word "proship" is a noun that means "problematic ship" is relatively recent and was created by antis.

It's spread to the point that I've started seeing fellow shippers in proship spaces use the word "proship" like a noun, or to describe other people who ship things that are "problematic".

Sure, language naturally evolves over time, I get it, but we cannot let "problematic ship" become a new meaning of "proship". It sends the message that anyone who is proship MUST have "problematic" interests/ships, which is not only not true, but exactly what antis want people to think.

I know using "proship" like that is convenient but please, there is a word for this. Comship. If you want a word for a ship that's generally considered taboo and problematic, the word you're looking for is "comship". If you want a word to describe someone/something as having interests/ships that are generally considered taboo and problematic, the word you're looking for is "comship".

If you're worried people don't know what "comship" means, you can always just say "problematic ship" or "taboo ship". My point is,

"Proship" does not mean "problematic ship".

"Proship" means "Proship".

Why am I still seeing people in the year of our lord 2023 come onto Al Gore’s internet to claim wwdits is queerbaiting

Besties it’s not queerbaiting if every single main character is canonically queer AND we’ve seen actual gay sex on screen. Even if nandermo never becomes canon it’s still not queerbaiting!! It’s a queer ass show!

[orange-orchard-system]

Kinda funny to me when people complain about others using "dissociate" to describe zoning out or daydreaming. Like no they're actually using that one correctly. That is in fact a form of dissociation, just a very mild and everyday one. You don't have to get annoyed at this one that is in fact a correct usage of the term. There are many words for specific psychological phenomena, disorders, etc. that people are misusing but this is not one of those cases. This one is fine

[trans-xianxian]

how many times do I have to say it wei wuxian is NOT a twink

[triaelf9]

ugh I reallllyyyyy didn’t want to get in on this but like

The assumption that all atheists are people who’ve “never touched a religious text in their life” basically says to me you have a specific view of atheists and have probably not known many.

Most of them grew up IN the system and DO know the text and THAT’S why they walk away. 

If you’re gonna make a whole post on ppl not using nuance with CR stuff right now the least you can do is use nuance yourself and not paint an entire group of people with a brush that TV taught you, or a bunch of white men into power *cough* Dawkins *cough* coopted a movement in a society where to not believe in god is synonymous with being immoral.

So just keep in mind, the representation of people without faith that you see on TV or twitter isn’t the majority and 9 times out of 10 isn’t correct at all.

thanks ^_^

[neurovarious]

when will people realize androgyne is "andro" and "gyne" meaning male and female respectfully therefore shortening androgyne/androgynous as "andro" does Not Work

[rudjedet]

Not the last anon, but why did you write "American" in your tags? Kinda sucky (and by extension xenophobic??) that you chose to generalize ignorance onto an entire nationality over one anon. :/

I'm not "generalising ignorance"; I'm making an educated guess based on my experience where I get this shit only and exclusively from usamericans.

If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it.

[batbirdies]

Man sometimes I make the mistake of reading the notes on a post (don’t do it) and like… this truly is the piss on the poor website.

No one has any reading comprehension and no one can clearly state what they mean. Everyone is so ready to argue at the drop of a hat. No one can make their point with clear language, and then seem to be incapable of rewording a statement if someone doesn’t understand them. Everyone immediately descends to insults upon disagreement, whether real or imaginary.

Debate classes should be mandatory in school is what I’m getting at.
