What am I doing

@verybigdisaster

I am not creative enough to do this

I'm NOT gonna say it again

SEASONINGS include herbs and spices, along with minerals and chemicals used to season food!!!! Salt, citric acid, and MSG, are all examples of seasonings that are NOT herbs or spices!

HERBS are flavorful leaves. Only. Leaves. Doesn't matter if its dried, fresh, whole, or ground, if it is a leaf, it is an herb

SPICES are flavorful parts of plants that are NOT LEAVES. These include seeds, berries, stems, bark, roots, flowers, buds... NOT LEAVES

THANK YOU

Things are heating up in the cooking fandom.

That's how cooking works

that post about ‘the patti lupone you know is already dead and gone’ sends me every fucking time. i love that stupid post. it’s so fucking funny.

this is peak humour kadjfk;lasjflka;sjfl

[image description: an excerpt of text that says:

“It’s funny,” I told Flewin. “We have an old Nintendo Game Boy floating around the house, and Tetris is the only game we own. My wife will sometimes dig it out to play on airplanes and long car rides. She’s weirdly good at it. She can get 500 or 600 lines, no problem.”

What Flewin said next I will never forget.

“Oh, my!”

TL;DR on the article

The husband was writing an article on classic video game records, was surprised to find out that holding the Tetris record is a bit of a big deal, and mentions how good his wife is at it.

The guy he’s talking to mentions that the record is 327, way lower than his wifes usual scores of 500-600.

They travel to a tournament, and she goes to do her attempt. Just after she beats 327, and is climbing higher, a judge brings up to the husband that the specific version she’s playing actually has a different record of 545.

She overhears that she needs to beat 500-something, and keeps going, setting the record at 841.

Rainbow flag colorpicked from the original 1978 flag <3

this is my favorite of all the rainbow flags because a) the stripes mean things: sex, life, healing, sunlight, nature, magic, harmony, and spirit. Sex (hot pink) and magic (turquoise) were more difficult colors to get which is why the standard flag is six colors, but those are my favorite colors! Both as colors and as meanings!

and b) we know for a stone cold fact that Gilbert Baker meant this flag to be for Everybody In The Family, which has gotten a little lost in the emphasis on individual flags for different identities, to the point where some people are starting to think the six-color rainbow is only for gay men

anyway thank you this was nice to see on a Monday, hello beautiful

Got this all scheduled this up to say happy pride month to y’all officially 😘 I love the history behind the original flag so much.

well the 10 year update to this saga is that I don’t talk to my mom and I have my own toaster 👍 don’t let your dreams be dreams

reminding myself there are no truly "bad days", because every single day, someone somewhere in the world has taken a photo of an extremely tiny animal and shown it to someone else, and that's very good actually

look at this absolutely fucking MINISCULE rabbit. i am sharing it with you. i hope it improves your day

exactly

it also doesn't mean "everything is happy and easy between us all the time" or "none of us can have sex with each other"

It literally just means “I love these people” and love looks different for everyone :)

Roman citizen on Tumblr in 79 CE responding to a Celt mocking Roman culture: Ok Persian, don't you know that the Roman Empire has minorities living in it? You are literally oppressing Hebrews when you make fun of our grand republic. The SQPR has some problems, sure, and our culture has dominated the planet at the expense of other cultures, yes, but you can't lightly tease it, that's racist to all of the minorities we have conquered

Yes, my father was a Legionnaire, but he was poor and it was the only way out of poverty. He only had one house slave to his name when he joined the Legion. He also suffered from PTSD after the campaign in Germania and he regrets burning down all of those villages. Really, we citizens of the republic are the true victims of Roman imperialism
