the macarons are done and in the fridge.
i’m nervous that they won’t ship well cuz of the french buttercream which seems to melt quickly. i’ll mark it fragile and hope winter does its job!

wait i’m confused…are we claiming white people comprise of only 40 percent of the present US population? can i have a source? since all indicators say white people in the US make up around 72 percent of the population. what is going on here
Wikipedia’s telling me white is 63% but “white haspanics” make up another 8%, so there’s your 72% give or take a...

baddominicana:
being whites are only 40% of the U.S. population right now,
everyone all over the media and running orgs and government would be 60% POC.
thats right, everywhere you look, there should be 6/10 POC. always.
meanwhile, absolutely everything continues to be white-washed and white-centered and when we complain they add some token,
and when we make our own media they claim...

like in some cases it makes frosting look better you could say but really, i don’t know many people who wouldn’t be disappointing if they got those cupcakes instead of ones that fill the cup. are you using giant cups? where would we get these super tall cups? or are you just making really small cupcakes and thus we can never be friends?
i like the taste of revenge. a lot.
i also don’t like my revenge to be particularly direct. most of the time i find revenge something that manifests itself in personal life improvements rather than vindictively depreciating another person’s life.
you know i think the things that hurt us the most are the ways other people will tell you who you are through their actions and words. so my revenge usually comes in the...

also, i believe i'm learning to like feta...whoa.
i don't like tarragon.

Can anyone answer this for me?
bakethatlinguist:
I have a male friend who wants to be long-term fwb. (Like long-term.) We are incredibly attracted to each other, but I’m a relationship-focused person. I don’t want to be friends “with benefits.” He knows this, and yet, I’m the one he chases. The question remains why does he want to have sex with me, knowing that I don’t want to have sex with him?
He is single, there are other...
I need my arch enemy to stop stealing my hobbies
seriously KB you think you can cook now?! when i met you i had to show you how to BOIL POTATOES. GTFO.
this will only prompt me to develop more obscure, esoteric, hobbies.
at least i’ll never have the stupid hobby of trying to put beer in everything i cook. WINE SNOB 4EVA!
oh and i bet you’ll never have the hobby of reading real authors. kiss my ass and your unironic love for...

dancing-is-forbidden replied to your post: making butter right now
You can’t make butter it;s one of the key element it just IS. Butter is a brute fact.
hahaha whatever I make what i want! AND I MADE BUTTER!

i’ll make anything from scratch if given the chance YOU CAN’T STOP ME.

fucking do i remember why the founders hated factions? vaguely….i remember the lecture but i can’t find my notes.
do i want to compare andrew jackson’s veto messages of the second bank to the people’s party platform? NOPE.
do i want to talk about how parties opened up democracy in the 19th century? well yes i think that one will be ok.
but still. i wanted to make...

this is me, pretending that my midterm is gonna do itself
tonight's dinner
peppercorn salmon
quinoa (new grain in this household!) i’m trying to figure out if it’s better to leave quinoa plain or add stuff to it.
asparagus or broccoli (roasted or steamed)
maybe sugared carrots.
i always feel like you should have two veggies at a meal at least.
last night we had almost all veggies and some pasta. it was like mixed veggie stirfry with a bit of bacon,...
i'm noticed a trend in which black people are...
it reeks of classism and symbolic colorism in a lot of ways.
hmm no really it’s black middle classism. that’s exactly what it is.
there are a lot of ways that the black middle class attempts to distance itself from “those other blacks” and i really think that using racial slurs, in the manner in which they are used by those in power, is a big one.
i’m not a fan.
so i'm rewatching Grey's from the begining. ...
it’s like that accent that people put on when they think they are talking like an asian person but it’s MOST CERTAINLY NOT a korean accent.
and it annoys me.
i'm doing what i did friday: staying up all day

actually i’m not even sad or anything. i feel very little but i guess the opposite of surprise? like i guess the biggest thing that bothers me is how hollywood let theron or whoever it was a few months ago put a block viola’s words to opt for that “weeee, everyone is beautiful and you are too!” shit and the commentary that viola could have offered might have elevated the...
Thoughts on Viola's loss
zebablah:
First of all - YES. Meryl Streep is a great actress. Let’s set that straight.
But her long, varied career has been made possible because she is a blonde, white, reasonably attractive woman who is afforded the access, the luxury of having the pick of the litter when it comes to meaty roles. That, coupled with her obvious talent, has built up her career.
The tragedy of Viola Davis...

life goals have been changed to this: Finish as much work as possible at once and then play video games until I die.
no need to eat, or sleep. just work and games.
