bc suburban families all over the world literally just steam/microwave their vegetables and serve them plain to their kids. No wonder kids hate vegetables. They’re taught that veggies are supposed to taste bad. but imagine: veggies with spices. Veggies in curry. veggies that are broiled, soaked, sautéed. aghhhh veggies are so good
Veggies of color (VOC)
People post good veggie recipes!!! Go!
i’m a vegan/vegetarian chef and yeah people generally don’t… season or… actually think about their vegetables at all? like if you treat your meal like “MEAT + unfortunate side dish i don’t want to eat + dessert” no fucking wonder you’re going to be unhappy with your results?? literally everyone should know how to cook vegetables WELL, because they can be fucking DELICIOUS?
it’s not surprising to me that most people don’t actually… KNOW how to cook vegetables, which is really, really sad. so imma help y’all out.
- grill your fucking vegetables? if you have a grill, or even a little dinky george foreman–grill those bitches. brush them with olive oil–or a mix of olive oil and balsalmic vinegar if you’re fancy, grill, salt, pepper, fresh herbs if you want, BAM. delicious. if you don’t, roasting is your next best option. you can also (if you have a gas stove and are ambitious) “grill” on the stove top. many a time i’ve stuck a sweet pepper on the stove and lit that bitch up!
- braise those bitches??? good for leafy greens and vegetables like turnips and radishes. finely chop some garlic, onion, or scallion (or all three if you’re bold) and sautee them in a little oil. once they’re almost cooked, add your veg. keep it moving, don’t let anything burn, and add a capful of white wine, or cooking wine. DELICIOUS.
- FRESH. HERBS. ARE. YOUR. FRIENDS? if you cannot get fresh (admittedly, i live on a farm, so i’m never short on things like dill, parsley, thyme, scallion, or cilantro) but they’re amazing on fresh veggies. sauteed in them in a pan? add some herbs. roasted them in the oven? add some herbs (and brown sugar if you want a savory sweet vibe)
- roast them in the oven if you don’t have time (or spoons) to stand up next to a hot ass stove for 5-20 minutes! vegetables that are good for roasting are typically ones that take a long time to cook, eggplants, potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, etc. of course, you can roast any veggie you like!
- MARINATE THOSE BITCHES??? literally you can make delicious marinades out of items most of you already have in your homes: honey/brown sugar, salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, etc.
- FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK STOP ADDING EVERYTHING TO THE PAN AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME. time out your veggies when sauteeing them for anything. if you’re doing a bunch of different ones, add the veggies to the pan first that take the longest. Making stir fry? put those motherfucking carrots in first, because they take FOREVER. onions, carrots, potatoes? put those in first. corn, broccoli, sweet pepper, zucchini? closer to the end, my dude, because they cook FAST.
- ginger and scallion go excellently in stir fry btw. if when you make your stir fry it tastes like it’s “missing something”, that’s what you’re missing. add that shit.
- you do NOT FUCKING NEED CHICKEN/BEEF STOCK FOR YOUR GODDAMN SOUP IF IT DOESN’T HAVE MEAT IN IT! sautee your veggies first, and you can use either powdered or canned coconut milk as the body. it makes for deliciously creamy soup. don’t worry about the coconut taste–it’s pretty much gone by the time your soup/stew is done cooking. coconut milk (especially powdered, and soy milk works for this too, no vanilla flavoring obviously) makes an excellent base for sauces for veggies, even if you eat meat!
lastly, give it the ol’ ratatouille. smell your herbs and spices together. if they seem like they go well, odds are, they’ll taste bangin’ once you combine them. experiment. everything you make will not be good, but you’ll get more comfortable cooking. i’ve been a chef for like two years and i burned some bread today, so it’s okay. you’ll make mistakes. that’s how you learn. don’t be afraid to cut or burn yourself–the more afraid you are, the more likely it is to happen.
you’re welcome, signed your local angry vegetarian chef who wants people to eat more vegetables
This is all very good advice for if you want/need to get more vegetables in your diet but haven’t cared for them in the past. A couple extra pointers form my expirience:
-If you’re subbing coconut milk for a meat-based stock you’ll probably want to add more salt than the original recipe calls for. And some garlic
-Actually, everything needs more garlic.
-The Ratatouille Method Works. It works best when you’re feeling indescisive about what to make for dinner, so you go snack on whatever herbs/veg/sauce you have around and think about the flavors.
-Don’t be afraid to do this with fruit too! Even if you’re a meat person like me, fruit goes great with lots of things and can benefit from many of the above cooking methods. The main difference is that fruit tends to cook REALLY SUPER FAST so add it in at the last minute, or even last second.
-Looking Up Traditional Recipies. Not eating enough plants is a very recent problem, and nearly every culture on earth has got some great veg recipies. Look up basic things like “French Carrots and Leeks Recipes” or find multicultural food blogs or heck, Actually Call Your Grandma* and ask what she did for vegetables.
*Caveat: If your grandma is like mine and all her recipies are from Her Grandmother from Industrial Liverpool and she lived through the Great Depression you might get a very detailed example of What Not To Do, which will at least be informative if also slightly terrifying.
Also even if you just microwave/boil your veggies they can still taste good? Like brocolli and a little parmesan cheese and garlic powder??? Hell, carrots and peas with some season salt???
like literally just fucking add some salt and oil to any veggie and it’s a million times better why are suburbanites so scared of seasoning???
Feel like I should add this warning on the topic of broccoli. The broccoli heads absorb an insane amount of sauce and if you bite into them they will burn your mouth as all the warm sauce will squeeze out onto your tongue. So let those suckers cool for a minute and don’t eat it straight out of the pan. Your tongue will thank you.
i know people always insist that if an actor changes their hairstyle or appearance or whatever halfway through filming a show then the show should give a legitimate in universe explanation for it but honestly thats nonsense like the funniest thing parks and rec has ever done was that bit in s6 where andy “goes to london” for 6 months and magically comes back with a six pack and blond highlights and the only explanation he gives is “I stopped drinking beer”
Antisemitism on the Left
Gentiles (AKA non-Jewish people) who talk about social justice seem to be confused or completely oblivious to what antisemitism is.
It’s not just calling for Jewish people to die or being a literal neo-nazi.
I regularly see Leftist/Liberal/Progressive/Social Justice gentiles that claim to be against antisemitism/nazis act incredibly antisemitic, so here’s a helpful list!
And if you’re wondering WHY something on this list is antisemitic, Google is free!
- Saying you hate X group of Jews (white Jews, Israeli Jews, etc)
- Accusing a random Jew (ex: Gal Gadot) of killing children/being a war criminal with absolutely nothing to back up your claims.
- Calling Jewish people murderers, child-killers, etc. in general
- Calling Israel a white supremacist state.
- Celebrating the deaths of Jewish people (yes EVEN if they’re Israeli!)
- Holding all Jewish people (EVEN Israeli Jews) accountable for the actions of the Israeli government
- Asking Jewish people their stance on Israel out of any context.
- Dismissing any group of Jews as “white” (note: this does not include holding white-passing Jews accountable for their conditional white privilege/racism)
- Ignoring the fact that Jewish people can be of any ethnicity
- Dismissing the fact that Jewish people are an ethno-religious group
- Dismissing our connection to Israel
- Calling a Jewish person you don’t know a reptile/lizard person/goblin (example: The FineBros)
- Comparing acts of racism/genocides to the Holocaust (there are certain situations in which this is appropriate, but that’s up to Jewish people to decide)
- Acting like antisemitism isn’t only about discrimination against Jews and includes ALL semites.
- Acting like Jewish people are privileged for being Jewish (even if they’re white-passing!)
- Using anything involving Israelis/non-government related Israel events to Discourse about Israel.
- Bringing up the actions of the Israeli government in response to antisemitism.
- Acting as if antisemitism is deserved because of the actions of the Israeli government.
- Giving antisemitic gentiles a pass because they do other kinds of activism.
- “But Jews voted for Trump!”
- Inserting yourself into Jewish-only discussions.
Non-Jews are absolutely encouraged to reblog! But this is not an invitation to argue these points!
Jewish people are encouraged to add on!
just one more reason why the incredibles (2004) is the best superhero movie out there

*someone comments on anyone being late to anything, ever* Well maybe they’re a superhero, Karen, ever think of that?
The Florida guy thing but only with Central City. Central City guy.
*someone says a bad word* “Uh Superman can hear you right now maybe you should shut up?”
“I can’t believe Superman and Batman ended homophobia.”

I love all of this. <3. There should definitely be a “Who Wore It Best” comparing other peoples Halloween costumes to pictures of other heroes and villains. Including original designs that make the heroes and villains pause and rethink costume design.
Better yet, people on forums comparing all the various robins to each other, and same with batgirls and green lanterns on who had the best costume. The fractions on some days can be worse than shipping wars. Trolls love going to message boards to mess with the fans dedicated to their respected outfits. This war has destroyed fashion labels with internal fighting as they too argue which hero had best costume.
There’s only one thing that everyone on the forums can all agree on. That the fashion industries designers will forever cry bitter tears as their latest superhero inspired designed line will forever be overshadowed by the villains that inevitably will crash the debut of the superhero lines fashion show and that’s all anyone will take about.
Bonus points to the one designer who managed to fight off ALL of The Rogues for the entirety of the show earning both The Rogues respect and a place in the flash museum forever. The man is a living legend and beacon of hope to all other fashion designers. May or may not have earned a blue lantern ring for that incident.
Also throwback fashion Thursdays so people nevar forget fashion faux pas of days long past. Like 80″s black canary
which is basically the comic equivalent of this lovely number by Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake
And to this day citizens of the DC universe still argue which is the worst outfit.
im not a christian but at this point i want jesus christ himself to descend from the afterlife to take the microphone out of trump’s hands and say “are yall fuckin serious”
Imagine how much Trump would hate that, having a Middle Eastern man interrupt him.
a middle eastern jewish man
A middle eastern jewish man born in Palestine who gave away free healthcare and chased capitalists with a whip.
He was also a refugee. So we got a refugee that is middle eastern Jewish man from Palestine that gave away free healthcare and chased capitalists with a whip. Who as quoted from Matthew 19:24 “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.“
If were lucky maybe Jesus will curse Trump like that fig tree where it withered and died for not bearing fruit. <3
