sorry not sorry but what is it with white ppl on Food Network committing micro aggressions towards POC chefs, especially BIPOC women making more cultural food. and these poor people have to awkwardly laugh at the jokes at their expense. stop making racist comments towards your contestants and treat them with equal respect regardless of skin tone I fucking beg you
#food network#racism#tw racism#racism tw#misogynoir#microaggressions#tw microaggressions#the darker their skin the harsher the criticism. every fucking time. it drives me nuts.#stop being racist i fucking hate it i hate how they treat these people who are showing off their culture with pride#because they think the atmosphere will be safe for them. and then Whitey Mc White Man chimes in with a joke at their expense#drives me fucking nuts

npd culture is getting so fucking angry when people don't pay enough attention to your art. only got 1 compliment and i'm better at art than all of them. and then they non-stop praise the inferior over their shitty art while i keep being ignored.

actually now that i think ab it johnny wouldn’t get pissy over vic’s driving. he strikes me as a joyride kinda guy. i’m like 100% sure he grew up around a bunch of car rednecks with these crazy ass hotrods in the 90s, then hotrod culture died down, then he got to NC and lo and behold it’s fuckin flourishing
#johnny silverhand#vanta rambles#source: both halves of my family have car rednecks#they regale me with tales of street racing and souping up these beautiful cars in the 80s#i think partly the 90s too#there was such a rich and vibrant road culture back then in FL and i’m kinda sad it’s all been sterilized#good to be safe on the road but ykwim#it’s like the death of malls to me……#the proximity of the cyberpunk setting to the 80s is what makes this whole thing work#ok i’m gonna ramble more ab florida roads hi guys#there’s also more ppl here than ever (Stop it. Don’t move here! It tooootally sucks!)#so it’s just untenable to do some crazy shit on the road like u could 30 years ago#i can’t even pull out of my neighborhood without having to play fuckin frogger waiting for the right moment to go#even going out the BACK is rough#if it was as quiet here now as it was when my parents moved to this neighborhood we wouldn’t have a problem#now literally the car line for the elementary school reaches our neighborhood AND ppl park in our neighborhood to pick up their kids#WHICH IS EXPLICITLY NOT ALLOWED#anyway. point is god i wish the roads down here weren’t a fuckin nightmare#driving is fun and i like it even if it exhausts the hell outta me#wouldn’t be so exhausting if all the dang ol orange groves weren’t squashed to make way for subdivision no. 287

Okay I'm going to say it. The MOST unrealistic thing about Supernatural are the motels in the show. The driving. Can't just show up anywhere in America with 30$ and a prayer anymore.
#I'm so not kidding I grew up travelling and so I remember travelling pre phones pre GPS#Got a small taste between HS and College before Airbnb hit#Now it's a very depressing nightmare#Most hotels cannot book directly in person or have much higher rates than online from 3rd party sites#Some hotels won't even have a receptionist available unless you booked ahead#Most you have to let them know what 'window' you'll be arriving#and absolutely none of them are under 50$ even in the middle of nowhere -#but ALSO in the middle of nowhere some states car sleeping is illegal even if you need just 6hrs to be safely rested to drive again#Tumblr talks about how USA people don't travel#or they do but inside the country because our nation is That Big#but honestly travel isn't affordable or looked at favorably unless#you can afford to do it the 'acceptable' way#I think I should have been born even 5 years earlier#I'm still very much a liberal but as I've gotten older I've gotten sick of infrastructure housing rates phones hustle culture nightly renta#surveillance states etc etc#no wonder I miss Montana but even West and Bozeman are becoming worse... sigh

My biggest tip for world building is just to look at how different regions travel tbh. What kind of roads do they have/what kind of transport do they use? What do they do when faced with difficult terrain (or mountain, river, swamp)? How do the encouraged methods of travel affect the culture of the region and how might the encouraged methods of travel have been affected by cultural values? Why do they travel the way they do?
Then take everything you've learned and ask yourself what methods of travel your different regions would be using. What would make them choose those forms of travel? How might their culture have been gradually affected by the common travel methods?
#fr tho travel defines a culture so so much#do they use boats do they walk do they ride horses or other animals do they drive cars#hell. even do they use planes airships or spaceships#its such a fucking central decision about your world and i feel like it's so easy to neglect#and its important on both the micro and macro level#do people walk to places in town? how safe is it to do that?#what about travelling to the other side of the country? whats the easiest method? whatd the cheapest method? what do rich ppl prefer to do?

Trying to find a decent place to live within a reasonable commute of Pentagon City and absolutely SCRUTINIZING every aspect of each potential elementary school’s GreatSchools.org profile. It’s really helped me eliminate a lot of areas outright. Like, I’m willing to be open-minded about schools. I never went to any school with a lower rating than 7/10 but given the right mix of not-completely-terrible test scores, improvement over time, and positive parent reviews, I’m entertaining possibly living in areas with schools that have 3/10 ratings.
But like. There are so many schools where the rich white and Asian kids are testing AT LEAST an entire standard deviation BELOW the state average and a modest townhouse is still renting for $4000/month. What the fuck is happening at these schools?? How are they not absolutely slamdunking the stereotypical “set it and forget it” successful student demographics??? Why the fuck does this mediocre townhouse with shitty schools cost $4000/month???? The rental market is out of control!
And don’t get me started on buying, which I’m not going to do. $650,000 minimum for any place that has a garage AND a yard, plus the current 7% interest rate… no thank you.
All these places are so isolated too. Like I walk five minutes away from my current house and there are three playgrounds, two parks, a forest preserve, and I can also go to the pharmacy, get three kinds of takeout, have a meal at the diner, buy groceries, and get my car tuned up. Meanwhile all these townhouses are like “We have SIDEWALKS and we’re NEAR a COUNTRY CLUB!!” because you can’t get anywhere worth going without driving at least 15 minutes to get there.
Anyway I used to think “I’d be happy living anywhere! Home is a mindset and what you make of it! People are basically the same anywhere you go since we’re all so atomized and mobile now!” but the more elementary school reviews and GreatSchools profiles I read and the more obviously-flipped townhouses I see, the more I wonder if I have actually become one of those Chicago people.
#especially mindboggling because I live in a major metropolitan area that is considered to be one of my nation’s cultural centers#and my entire 2000 sq ft brick home with beautiful architecture#on a sleepy street lined with mature trees#in a safe neighborhood with schools rated 7/10#would rent for only $3000/month#and it’s within walking distance of multiple train and bus lines and only a 20 min train ride into downtown#and I’m moving to an area of the US that I consider to be a huge downgrade culturally#because my husband is about to make $100k more a year than he already does at his new EvilCorp job#since I own my home my mortgage is actually only $2200/month#I’m about to pay almost double in housing costs for the privilege of living in an uncultured swampy backwater#virginia is an open carry state what the fuck#the dc metro area is cursed#no offense to anyone who lives there and likes it#the only upside to all this is that I will only be a 3-4 hours drive away from my beloved grandparents#instead of 13-14 hours of driving away#personal

It is possible to interact with people whom share opposing views and no this is not about pineapple on pizza. In fact, it is imperative that you learn how to be civil with some people who you may find difficult to agree with.
At work, Youngin would often tell me that the guy that trained him (Ginger) was a misogynist. I had never met Ginger, and I had very little to say on this matter. But I would ask Youngin some questions about him because I like to know the other seasonal workers a little. I ask about Ginger- first words from Youngin's mouth 'he's a misogynist.'
I asked him why he thought that. (There are many misogynists at this location, as someone that is woman-shaped I see it often, I am comparing notes.)
"We were on our way to a location and a driver was going really slowly. When he got around her he said 'fucking women drivers.' Like he was going out of his way to prove that the driver was a woman."
The last month or so, Youngin worked exclusively with me because I knew that it was a matter of time before he said something that pissed off one of the guys. He was not going to get along with people here, it just wasn't happening.
When he left, everyone wanted to know what he was like to work with. And I finally got to have a conversation with Ginger.
"I'd like to ask you something a little strange- he said that on his first day there was an issue with a driver going slowly. Can you tell me about that?"
"Oh yeah! She was going super slow and when I got around her I said 'yup- little old lady driving.' And he was like 'what's that supposed to mean?' And I just kind of dropped it, but I hear he was saying I was a misogynist over it?"
So I give Youngin some grace because he's young, he's got a social bubble that's very liberal, he has not met very many people that weren't part of that kind of scene. But he often talked about how every person here has said something that pissed him off and he seemed really surprised that I (woman-shaped queer liberal) would be okay working with all these sexist homophobes.
And I give grace to Ginger because he had no reason to think that his words would be interpreted like that. What he was saying was normal to him. This is... somewhat the culture of landscaping jobs. And its not even close to the worst thing I've heard out of these dudes mouths. (Literally had one of the dudes comment that he would like to 'motorboat' one of the pedestrians.)
It was weird for Youngin to carry that with him for the whole two months that he worked here, over a very... small comment.
Every single person I've worked with here has said something that has given me pause and I tuck it away to rant about later and then I let it go. If it gets out of hand, I talk to one of the bosses about it. I know how to contact HR. I came into this place knowing that I was going to disagree politically with most of the people that I work with because I'm coming in to a culture that is fundamentally different from my own.
If I am being frank, I find the overt bigotry somewhat better than the corporate bullshit of 'we value your contributions, but won't be granting your accommodations request out of fairness to other workers' or the glass cliff or literally being fired for my sexual orientation but phrased with 'oh you just weren't a good fit for the culture here.' I at least know what I'm getting into when I come to work. I know what not to talk about. Last time I thought I was safe to talk about something queer with my boss she blindsided me with some transphobic garbage.
Its admirable to stick up for the marginalized people in your life, but part of changing minds is knowing the time and the place to comment. I think I've changed more minds at this warehouse by being a visibly out lesbian at work than I have by making carefully crafted speeches.
That is fine. It is fine to disagree. Sometimes you have to work with racists, homophobes, and assholes. That is part of being an adult. You talk about things like... sports or TV or weather or some cool bug you saw. Finding common ground with people who are different from you in many ways is an important part of socialization and it sucks to think you have anything in common with a jackass but look- you're spending 7-ish hours with these people and at some point some of them are going to say stupid shit. You are going to say stupid shit also. I have said my fair share of stupid shit. Deal with the fact that you're all stupid shits.
And for fuck's sake, wear your hardhat.

In ASL and SSL, this is the gesture for "Inshallah," which means means "God willing"; it's used to express hope that a specific future event will come to pass.
🇵🇸 Things you can do below 🇵🇸
🍉 SHARE posts from Palestinians, especially journalists on the ground (copy link on IG works just as well as sharing?). They're literally dying for that footage 🙃 let's make sure it counts
🍉 DONATE an E-sim @connectinghumanity_ on IG
🍉 DONATE to @CareForGaza (Twitter; donation links should be on their profile too). A lot of donation drives are just... making a grab at clout but this one is legit; a number of Gazans confirm that the food/produce is getting to them. The organizer seems to be Palestinian and living there as well
🍉 BOYCOTT brands listed by @bdsnationalcommittee on IG
Official boycott targets: AXA, Puma, Carrefour, Siemens, Ahava, HP, Sodastream, any products from Israel
Organic boycott targets: Domino's, McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Wix
🍉 PRESSURE your governments & officials to call for a ceasefire and #InvokeGenocideConvention at the ICJ (rootsaction.org)
🍉 PROTEST. If there are mobilizations in your area, show up to be part of the count. No heroics—do what you feel safe doing and listen to the organizers.
.
.
.
.
.
it was also important to me to include an Al-Qassam fighter in this, because they're often scapegoated by Western media, and also by well-meaning allies who say "but civilians are not Hamas"; there's this attempt to separate militant resistance from the process of liberation as a whole
Yeah, most civilians are not Hamas, but they don't denounce them either. Palestinians call them freedom fighters, protectors.
because the resistance is not a bunch of evil, violent outliers; they are as much victims of the occupation as the women, children, and non-combatants are. Most if not all of them were born under the occupation; a good percentage of them are also orphans.
I will never condemn boys who live along the coast but have never seen the sea.
.
.
.
.
.
And end to the violence can't mean a return to business as usual, where the occupation and apartheid continue and Palestinians are still getting displaced on their own land. it will still take decades to rebuild homes. priceless historical and cultural items & structures have been callously destroyed and can never be recovered. nearly all the children in gaza have been made disabled and traumatized and murdered—what kind of future will they inherit?
israel must be abolished. They, the US, Canada, and the EU, must pay
Inshallah, we will not stop at a ceasefire
Inshallah, we will see complete liberation for Palestine
#Palestine#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#free palestine#my art#artists for palestine#the bracelet on the toddler is also a reference to Plestia's cousin making them bracelets with their names#so their family could easily be identified if any of them ever died

nathaniel, neil, nathaniel, neil. andrew flips the two names around in his head like tossing a coin. heads or tails, the coin always comes up abram. nathaniel and neil are two sides of the same coin; forged in a dark basement, in musty hotel rooms, on the exy court. both hate sweets, love to run, to talk back any chance they get.
some days, the coin lands on nathaniel. jack makes one too many comments at practice and neil - no, nathaniel - has him on the ground, raquet to his neck in an instant. he can't hear what the strikers are saying but through the grate of the helment, andrew sees nathaniel's smile.
others, it lands on neil. andrew finds neil and matt splayed out on the couch, three movies deep into a "pop culture lesson". neil motions for andrew to sit and absently cards his fingers through the blond's hair. matt hides his grin in his sleeve.
but abram; he runs to andrew after each winning game to tap sticks, he sits each friday in columbia, talking about escape routes for an alien invasion, he keeps ice cream in the freezer and cigarettes in his backpocket.
heads or tails, doe or minyard, doe or minyard.
doe was made and unmade in california. 13 homes, 13 film reels constantly playing in the back of his mind, each scene driving the cuts deeper and deeper. andrew doe learns the danger of wanting and vows to keep everyone out.
minyard went to juvie for his brother. he crashed the car to keep him safe. he spent years on medication that sent him up up up to protect his cousin. minyard guards himself with knives sharper than his glare; he protects those that are his and fuck anyone else.
heads or tails, the coin starts to come up drew.
it starts small; quick grins in columbia at neil; shared dinners with aaron that don't end in a fight; something like excitment in his stomach before an exy game. when neil is hanging out with the upperclassman, he stays.
heads or tails; the coin lands on growth

the thing about "callout/cancel culture" that convinced me it's rotten to the core is the dehumanisation you face once you become the subject of a campaign like that. a lot of criticisms of callout/cancellation attempts appeal to the humanity of the subject, pointing out that it's unfair and unproductive to treat a person, a fellow human being, regardless of how much harm they've caused and how genuinely unlikable they are, like that. but unfortunately the reality of being the target of a mob mentality often means facing the very isolating and traumatising experience of realising that you've ceased to exist as a person in their eyes. you're a representation of your transgressions, an embodiment of harm that needs to be erased like a blemish, a spectacle for entertainment, a means of earning social approval by publicly condemning and humiliating you in what quickly becomes a competition to see who can strike the blow that knocks you down so you never get up again. nobody cares about who you are outside of what you did. people make mistakes and hurt one another, but there is always the capacity for change, for regret and reparations. you are an irredeemable monster. you can't change. the only way to make sure you can't cause harm ever again is to neutralise you entirely. to drive you off and hurt you so badly that you never consider coming back. and it often succeeds. but it doesn't make the world a better or safer place. it just tells everyone that certain behaviours will be punished, so you should conceal them, and harshly condemn them in others so that everyone knows where you stand; nobody will stand up for you if you're accused and brought out for judgement, so you shouldn't trust anyone, and always be on the lookout to take them down before they can do the same to you. you're not creating a safe, welcoming community. you're creating a panopticon built on fear and punishment.
#🐉#yes ive been the target of multiple harassment campaigns. yes i was in the wrong and deserved to be held accountable.#no i didnt deserve to be treated like that. and no i didnt change because people were cruel to me.#i changed because i was lucky enough to have friends who supported me and pointed out that they wanted me to be better because they cared#their disappointment and earnest belief in my capacity to be a better person was what made me realise i could and needed to do better

If watching dozens, if not hundreds, of videos about plane crashes have taught me anything, it’s that flying isn’t dangerous, it’s capitalism that’s dangerous
#disclaimer that flying is incredibly safe#and mile for mile driving is more dangerous#(and many airlines or plane manufacturers do have culture of safety)#it’d probably be better/more accurate to say profit incentives or smthn like that than ‘capitalism’#as similar things/scenarios obviously happen/happened in non-capitalist countries where the incentives were similar#but in capitalist societies those profit incentives are largely shaped by capitalism.#/the system of capitalism we have#the problem (under the capitalist system of incentives we have) when profit is more important/more considered than safety#in other systems it may be more that say efficiency or productivity is valued higher#but it’s still the same idea that there are other incentives#I’m just thinking about the DC-10 cargo doors thing#like#not only did they have the opportunity to learn from the incident over Windsor Ontario (in which no one died but all could’ve)#they fucking found out during testing#they knew this was a problem#and they did barely anything to fix it#and so you got that Turkish airlines flight#if there’s not a culture of safety—you’re just waiting for disaster#I think part of Boeing’s problem may have come with their acquisition of Mcdonnel Douglass#where MD’s lack of culture safety spread to Boeing#and that’s how you got Max#and it’s just the manufacturers#if the profit motives are right it can cause airlines to skimp on maintenance which—if it causes a crash#will often severely hurt or kill the airline completely on top of the potential for human impact#it’s not just incentives for profit but it’s also incentives for short time thinking
