Why do newer phone cameras accentuate every pore and blemish and eye bag and turkey neck I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS. They make me look like 8 years older than I am jfc. Make me way self conscious to the point that I don't even take photos of myself or ones with friends anymore

    Garlic and onions first, mushrooms next (salt them so they release their liquids and brown), carrots/sweet potato/potato/beets/ any other very dense veggies next, then broccoli/Brussels sprouts and cauliflower types of brassicas, then cabbage/kale/chard, then lighter leafy greens. With things like spinach and arugula I pretty much turn off the heat and fold them in whatever I'm making immediately and toss and they'll cook down. It is also debated whether garlic should be added early or not, you can kinda do with it what you will.

    A lot of this comes down to trial and error in terms of how long to cook things before adding the next. Use a fork to poke, and use your teeth to bite. Say if I'm cooking broccoli, I'll give it 5 minutes then eat a small piece to see if I like the texture. Hard as a rock still? Another few minutes, poke with a fork, if its softer but still tough, ill add the next "layer" of veg. If I'm just adding leafy greens I'll let things like sweet potato/carrot/brocc cook all the way through then add those and cook for 1-2 minutes.

    Watched Common Side Effects last night and this absolute banger of a song was on the episode, gotta listen to it louuuud. I looked into it and this style of rocknroll is a whole subgenre, so cool:

    At the tail end of the 1950s, a new trend began to emerge. Dark, violent and unconscionable to the war generation, the Death Disc boom must be one of the most morbid trends of the post-war era. Also known as “splatter patters”, these songs dealt with suicides, murders and fatal car crashes, offering young music fans what exploitation cinema offered moviegoers.

    The heydey of Death Discs lasted from 1955 to 1965, though the subject matter of such songs has been the sport of traditional folk, blues and country for centuries. While the identity of the very first Death Disc is up for debate, many have named ‘Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots’ by songwriting duo Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller as a potential candidate.

    Where no one appears to take initiative, no one responds to messages, lines of communication are confusing or things are not communicated at all, and so on?

    It's bringing me back to where I feel like I have to try to actually get things done and create momentum by myself and I'm the babiest/newest person so I'm nervous to bring criticisms even though they're encouraged.

    Is this common? Am I perhaps being too critical? I figure no one can answer that one for me but jfc I was hoping to be more supported by people who claim that demcen is important.

    If anyone can share how they go about expressing concerns/criticisms constructively, lemme hear it

     

    I want to try to compile resources about different community mobilization tactics for when ICE is conducting raids, specifically for all of the tenants/neighbors in the vicinity. I have heard of the whistle thing which I think is a smart piece of a puzzle but I want to try to help people build more cohesive acute support networks

     

    A friend and I are going to be these lil guys. Costume's are almost done, they are silly as hell.

    The last costume I did years ago was somewhat-sexy bowser and it ruled. I somehow came across a plastic Ninja Turtles shell with straps that probably came from a costume at a thrift store. I spray painted it and made the spikes and everything, I still have that thing because it came out so good
