A few years ago, when I was living in the housing co-op and looking for a quick cookie recipe, I came across a blog post for something called “Norwegian Christmas butter squares.” I’d never found anything like it before: it created rich, buttery and chewy cookies, like a vastly superior version of the holiday sugar cookies I’d eaten growing up. About a year ago I went looking for the recipe again, and failed to find it. The blog had been taken down, and it sent me into momentary panic. 

Luckily, I remembered enough to find it on the Wayback Machine, and quickly copied it into a file that I’ve saved ever since. I probably make these cookies about once a month, and they last about five days around my voracious husband - they’re fantastic with a cup of bitter coffee or tea. I’m skeptical that there is something distinctively Norwegian about these cookies, but they do seem like the perfect thing to eat on a cold day. 

Norwegian Christmas Butter Squares

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 egg 1 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1 tsp vanilla ½ tsp salt Turbinado/ Raw Sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Chill a 9x13″ baking pan in the freezer. Do not grease the pan.

Using a mixer, blend the butter, egg, sugar, and salt together until it is creamy.  Add the flour and vanilla and mix using your hands until the mixture holds together in large clumps. If it seems overly soft, add a little extra flour. 

Using your hands, press the dough out onto the chilled and ungreased baking sheet until it is even and ¼ inch thick.  Dust the top of the cookies evenly with raw sugar.

Bake at 400 degrees until the edges turn a golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool for about five minutes before cutting the cooked dough into squares. Remove the squares from the warm pan using a spatula.

Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.

This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.

Harris now begins her defeat speech. Most expect it to lose in some states due to the Biden administration's support for Israel and its promise to stand by Gaza. Unfortunately, Trump will also not stand with Gaza, and since his term, he has declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.Please support Gaza because in reality there is no administration or president who stands by the oppressed people of Gaza. Only free peoples stand by them. In this difficult time, I call on you to support my oppressed family in Gaza.

Please stand by my family from famine and devastating war

Palestine is free

It's easy to think "nobody in the whole wide world cares about me" on an empty stomach but try doing it while eating Vegetables and Rice. Seems less convincing now doesn't it? That's simply the power of Vegetables and Rice..

As someone with BDSM interests as well as feedism, I’m all about two BDSM themes showing up more often in feedism:

1) Safe words - If I���m enjoying stuffing you silly, “stop” is just going to make me wanna keep going. Safe words are important! Establish them beforehand, maybe have one that serves as a warning (”I’m getting close to my limit”) and one that means you’re done. Respect the safe word!!! 

2) Aftercare - Intense stuffing, teasing, and maybe even physical pain (slapping or pinching their belly, restraining them, etc) require a recovery and reconnect afterward. How are you each feeling? What do you need? Water? Rest? Watch an episode of a funny show together? Cuddling?  

These things can also be done over skype/text and they’re still important in those cases as well. A scene is a scene is a scene.

I wish more feeders would openly and actively take the "non feeding" parts of being a feeder more seriously. Going out of their way to make sure their partners size is accommodated in public outings not just planned by them but also by friends and advocating for their feedee's needs well in advance. Getting educated on HAES and harm reduction approaches to gaining. Supporting their partner with light exercise and mobility work to reduce pain during weight gain and at larger sizes. Supporting their sweet tooth feedee and supporting them to keep up on their oral hygiene. Being a sounding board and providing love and validation when their feedee has faced anti-fat bias. Being well educated on the stigmas fat people face at the doctor and accompanying them to their doctors appts to help keep their doctor accountable and respectful. Supporting them with medical treatments related (and not) to their gaining lifestyle like encouraging consistent medication and CPAP use. Advocating for fat liberation and defending their fat partner in all settings, regardless of whether their feedee is in the room or not.

I feel like i need to make it clear to any onlookers that just because im a death feedee, does not mean im into being degraded.

This is a fat positive space.

People who insult and degrade WILL be blocked.

Im a queen, not your pig.

i guess i forget people view kinks as this secret thing you cannot talk about ever unless you are actively having sex because learning what my platonic friends are into has never changed my opinion of them besides making me think they’re cooler
