Trip the Sungazer vs. Noodle House

[jamietarttsdaddyissues]

Okay I’m going to say this and I’m going to say this once.

I do not like how the relationship with Jamie’s father was handled in season 3.

If they wanted to go the route of forgiveness they absolutely could have. If they wanted to go the route of his dad going to rehab they absolutely could have. Those are not inherently wrong or bad. It’s a show about forgiveness and I get that. It’s a comedy and Jamie is not the main character - I get that too.

My issue is this: the show went out of its way on multiple occasions to show just how violent and abusive James is. Just to give a few examples:

Repeated physical abuse

Repeated verbal abuse

Planning, funding, and likely pressuring the sexual abuse of his 14 year old son (a minor and below the age of consent in both The Netherlands and the UK regardless of the age of the girl in the red light district)

The willingness to beat Coach Beard (basically a stranger to him) with a metal pipe in a 3 to 1 fight in a back alley which could have realistically resulted in his death (and calling Beard “son” right before the final blow)

Jamie literally gave up his dream - a job as a professional footballer on a top hometown team - to leave the country on a trashy reality show just to get away from his father. The show traced a large portion of Jamie’s issues back to his relationship with his father. Not all of course - but that was a big theme of his growth and development.

So even if we entertain the notion that this stint in rehab was successful and James is sober - that’s great. That’s a storyline I wouldn’t mind hearing - IF we had the appropriate time to show it. But the thing is, we didn’t. This season was disjointed and rushed in many ways - and I’m not complaining - I still loved it. But if they’re going to tackle a topic this serious, they need to do it right. They need to be clear that alcohol was not the only problem James had and that sobriety does not absolve you of accountability. As important as it is to portray the message that all human beings can change, including addicts, it is equally as important to show the serious work that addicts in recovery put in to address the hurt that they caused through their addiction. It is not easy work to battle addiction and to mend relationships - sometimes part of recovery is accepting that you can’t mend things with everyone you’ve hurt and that is the right of the victim to decide how they feel.

We were shown none of this. What we got instead was:

A speech from Jamie’s mom about how he is still amazing despite his dad while still somehow crediting Jamie’s talent to his dad’s abuse

Ted telling Jamie to forgive his dad as he’s mid-panic about his safety and his dad’s location

Ted making a point to say the forgiveness was for Jamie’s sake, not for James - which was ALMOST good until they ruined it

Denbo and Bug suddenly supportive despite being just as violent as James in 2x09

James suddenly in rehab for 0.2 seconds

Jamie reaching out to his dad via text despite having no idea his dad is in rehab - something that is realistically compromising his physical and emotional safety

A quick clip of Jamie bonding with his father before the season/series ends for good

The reason I connected with Jamie so intensely from season 1 was the shared experience of abuse from my father. I want to be clear that I know I’m projecting - that’s what fandom is - and I in no way expected the show to end exactly as I wanted. However, this is what I would have liked to see as 1) an abuse survivor 2) a licensed therapist and 3) a person:

The message that you can heal without forgiving those who hurt you OR that you can forgive them and still not allow them back into your life (ESPECIALLY if it compromises your safety)

The message that sometimes people don’t change for the better and you can grieve that relationship while still fostering healthier ones elsewhere.

An emphasis on support systems and chosen family when someone doesn’t have the reality of a parent or partner getting better (we saw this with Bex seeking out Rebecca and Rupert’s assistant)

Instead of Man City suddenly cheering for Jamie, which felt insanely unrealistic, having the cheers of Richmond fans drown out the boos and verbal assaults of the Man City crowd - further emphasizing that despite the pain he has attached to Man City and his father, he has a home with Richmond.

So to wrap up this very long rant, I feel very disheartened by this part of the season. I still love Ted Lasso and always will - there were so many parts of this season I absolutely adored and wouldn’t trade for anything - but I feel that they dropped the ball on this one. Most people don’t get to repair relationships with abusive parents. Is it possible? Of course. Is it important to depict that it can happen? Absolutely. It’s a show about forgiveness. But they didn’t need to do it like this for Jamie’s storyline. They could have kept the speech about forgiving James for Jamie’s sake and deleted all of the rehab/texting afterwards. I still wouldn’t have been thrilled but it would have made more sense to me in context of the show. And it would have meant a lot more to me as someone who’s father is unlikely to ever stop being a risk to my safety.

This just felt bad. Jamie Tartt had one of the best arcs I’ve ever seen in media and he deserved better than that.

mmm older childe carrying a lil extra weight on his waistline bc he finally settles down with zhongli, who loves nothing more than taking care of him. always a dragon at heart, gift giving is a major love language of his, and doting on childe feels like a behaviour intrinsically written into his DNA.

childe who's a little insecure when his clothes become a bit snug - not necessarily about his body, but because it means he's gone soft - and zhongli who shows him why soft is good. shows him just how much there is to love, how much more of him there is to grab and sink his teeth into. zhongli who kisses and praises his little stretch marks and worships every change in his body, any small difference that may have planted seeds of doubt in childe's mind.

worrying he and his insecurities are burdensome, zhongli assures childe that there's nothing more he loves to do than bring him to his favorite bakeries and restaurants and ply him with all of his favorite foods. watching his eyes light up, his tongue lick the crumbs from his fingers, his lips stain red from wine as he relishes every delicious bite, savors every rich taste.

zhongli is even happier seeing him enjoy his food; seeing him enjoy and settle into life, now that he has the time for it. the proof of this joy, manifesting in a soft, gently curving arc of a wider middle, in plumped thighs and rounded cheeks and a heavier frame when he sits in zhongli's lap, is only something to treasure. the archon more often that not finds himself touching childe with such affection; in public, in private, wherever they are, he cherishes the life they have together. he slides his hands over the gentle slope of his middle, pressing his fingers into the pillowy softness. he cups his face when he kisses him and brushes his thumbs across the apples of his cheeks, admiring the new gilded freckles. glides his hands over his thicker arms, widened hips, the tender flesh of his thighs, soaking in how beautiful he looks and how utterly divine he feels.

his stomach, in particular, zhongli admires. somewhere a little healthier to rest his head when sleepiness washes over the two and they snuggle close in bed, childe's fingers absently twirling his dark hair around his fingers. somewhere a little more nourished to settle his hands when he wakes up and the redhead is already making two coffees through a haze of sleep, smiling crookedly with hooded eyes and a gruff good morning when zhongli hugs him from behind. he nuzzles his own cheek against childe's. slips his hands over his inviting middle, palms fitting perfectly over the gentle swell of his warm belly. pressing innocent kisses to his neck, he slips his hands up his shirt to appreciatively sink his fingertips into the yielding softness, calming the small growls of morning hunger.

childe with little bite marks on his tummy chub. with finger print bruises on his thighs and pliant hips. with stretch marks and a plush cushioning to his body, built from the delight zhongli takes in providing him the life of luxury he deserves. signs of comfort, of care, of love, instead of just wounds and scars from a life of violence. zhongli finds himself warmed by the changes in his body and how comfortable he's gotten. looking after him is something he once feared the battle-addicted harbinger would not be able to live long enough to let him do; and now, both in retirement, he doesn't waste a single minute passing up the privilege to do so.

Thinking about when i studied counselling at uni and they straight up told us that cbt has negative outcomes for many people and shouldn't become a standard for care, all talking therapies seem to have the same efficacy as each other, many psychologists think therapy is ineffective altogether, serotonin and dopamine don't work like that we just act like they do because pills that prevent their reuptake help people*, all diagnoses are a socially created (and enforced) map that shifts and changes with time and culture, and any one person could have been diagnosed and treated differently by myriad different doctors based on luck and social factors

Shame its practitioners don't think so

So the one reason to go to Arkansas is to drive through a town named "Flippin," where everything sounds like a euphemism. Flippin Fire Dept. Flippin School. Flippin Police. Etc.

While that does sound charming, I don't know that justifies a trip to Arkansas

Reducing Fire Hazards: The Importance of Regular Hood Degreasing and Maintenance

Fire safety is a critical concern in any kitchen, especially in busy commercial settings. One of the best ways to minimize fire risks is through consistent kitchen exhaust hood cleaning and degreasing. Regular maintenance of the exhaust hood system removes built-up grease and contaminants, significantly reducing the chances of ignition and ensuring a safer workspace for everyone.

Why Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning is Essential for Fire Safety

In a bustling kitchen, the exhaust hood and ventilation system work constantly to filter out grease, smoke, and odors. Over time, grease can build up inside the hood, ducts, and filters, creating a potential fire hazard. Regular hood degreasing and kitchen exhaust cleaning help prevent this accumulation, keeping the system operating efficiently and safely. This maintenance is a vital part of any fire prevention strategy, especially for commercial kitchens.

The Importance of Regular Degreasing and Maintenance

Routine kitchen exhaust hood maintenance provides several advantages beyond just fire safety. It can extend the lifespan of your exhaust system and improve air quality within the kitchen. Here are some key reasons to prioritize regular hood cleaning and degreasing:

Minimized Fire Risks: Removing grease buildup reduces the chance of fires starting within the exhaust system.

Enhanced Airflow: A clean exhaust system allows for better ventilation, improving comfort for kitchen staff.

Energy Efficiency: Clean exhaust hoods operate more effectively, potentially reducing energy costs for your business.

Professional Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning Services

While some kitchen staff may try to handle cleaning themselves, hiring professional kitchen exhaust cleaning services ensures a more thorough and effective job. These experts have the tools and experience to clean every part of the exhaust system, including areas where grease tends to accumulate. This not only helps you comply with local fire codes but also gives you peace of mind, knowing your kitchen is safe.

Professional services can create a cleaning schedule tailored to your kitchen’s needs, whether it’s weekly, monthly, or quarterly maintenance. They also provide documentation of each cleaning, which is crucial for meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining insurance coverage.

Signs That Your Kitchen Exhaust Hood Needs Cleaning

Recognizing when your kitchen exhaust hood needs cleaning is vital for maintaining a safe kitchen. Here are some signs that it’s time to schedule a professional cleaning:

Visible grease or residue on the hood or filters

Smoke lingering in the kitchen longer than usual

Unusual noises or reduced airflow from the exhaust fan

Challenges in passing fire safety inspections

Addressing these signs quickly with thorough kitchen hood cleaning can prevent more serious issues and help keep your kitchen safe.

Protect Your Kitchen with Regular Exhaust Hood Cleaning

Routine kitchen exhaust hood cleaning and degreasing are essential for reducing fire hazards and ensuring the safety of your kitchen. By investing in professional cleaning services and maintaining a consistent schedule, you can protect your kitchen from fire risks, improve air quality, and keep your exhaust system functioning smoothly. Prioritizing regular cleaning not only ensures compliance with fire safety regulations but also creates a safer and more efficient kitchen for your staff and customers.

I love how almost every marazhai centric fic on ao3 is just unhinged in someway or another

[i-still-mask-because]

I still mask because I can't avert my eyes from the obvious signs that it has never gone away since 2020. Like, I'm often not even good at noticing subtlety IRL, but these signs are not hard to find. People are in denial.

AND I still avoid eating in restaurants because eating is the one thing you have to take off your mask for, and I am not doing that in some indoor and enclosed environment where hundreds if not thousands of people have been unmasked that day alone.

Also just... thank you so much for making this blog ^^;;

Today I learned that there are people who think you need to wash chicken before cooking it and that some of them are Extremely Confident and Condescending about it and think you'll get salmonella if you don't

[theworldthrukaleidoscope-eyes]

Not having soap in your restroom should be a health code violation.

Not having working sinks in a restaurant should be a health code violation.

If you cannot wash your hands in a food establishment, you should not be serving food.

Understanding Ventilation Power: Selecting the Ideal CFM for Your Kitchen Exhaust Hood Installation

When it comes to kitchen exhaust hood installation, one of the most crucial factors to consider is the ventilation power, measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). Choosing the right CFM ensures your kitchen remains free from smoke, grease, and odors, providing a safe and comfortable environment. This guide will help you understand how to select the appropriate CFM for your kitchen exhaust hood, enhancing both functionality and compliance with safety standards.

Why CFM Matters in Kitchen Exhaust Hood Installation

CFM, or cubic feet per minute, measures the volume of air a hood can exhaust in one minute. The right CFM is essential for effective ventilation, determining how quickly and efficiently smoke, steam, and grease are removed from your kitchen. An inadequate CFM can lead to poor air quality and increased fire hazards, while an excessively high CFM can be unnecessarily noisy and energy-consuming.

Calculating the Right CFM for Your Kitchen

The size of your cooking area and the type of cooking you do significantly impact the CFM requirements. For standard cooking ranges, a basic rule of thumb is 100 CFM per linear foot of cooktop. For example, a 30-inch range would need a hood with at least 250 CFM. For more intensive cooking methods, such as grilling or frying, you may need a higher CFM to ensure adequate ventilation.

Factors Influencing CFM Requirements

Several factors influence the CFM requirements for your kitchen exhaust hood installation:

Cooking Style: Heavy cooking styles like frying or grilling produce more smoke and grease, requiring higher CFM.

Kitchen Size: Larger kitchens may need more powerful hoods to ensure complete ventilation.

Ductwork Length: Longer duct runs can reduce efficiency, necessitating higher CFM to maintain performance.

Hood System Installation

Proper hood system installation is key to maximizing the effectiveness of your kitchen exhaust hood. Professional installation ensures your hood is correctly positioned and ducted, optimizing airflow and ventilation. Experts can assess your specific kitchen layout and recommend the best system and CFM for your needs, ensuring safety and compliance with local regulations.

Benefits of Choosing the Right CFM

Selecting the appropriate CFM for your kitchen exhaust hood offers several benefits:

Improved Air Quality: Efficient ventilation removes contaminants, keeping the air fresh and clean.

Enhanced Safety: Proper ventilation reduces the risk of grease fires and improves overall kitchen safety.

Energy Efficiency: Choosing the right CFM ensures your hood operates efficiently, saving on energy costs.

Noise Reduction: An appropriately powered hood operates more quietly, creating a more pleasant cooking environment.
