Fun things to do when Donald is inaugurated

willisninety-six:

  • Never, EVER call him “president”, it strips the most powerful title in the world away from him and it will drive him insane, call him “Klansman” “Bozo” “Jackass” just anything BUT president
  • NEVER call him “Trump”, instead, do as John Oliver made popular, call him “Drumpf” it strips away the power of “Trump” (there’s Chrome and Firefox extensions to help change any “Trump” to “Drumpf”)
  • Vote in the 2018 mid-term elections. Fill it up with Democrats so his life will be made a living hell (and hopefully impeached)
  • Be proud of whatever the hell you are, whether it be Hispanic, Black, LGBT, poor, young a woman, just be proud in the fact that you are everything that Jackass Drumpf isn’t
  • Do everything you can to have the fucking Electoral College get rid of (it’s fucked us over too many times and is un-democratic)
  • Get your ass out to vote in the 2020 Democratic primaries and election, get his ass out of office with someone who actually represents America
  • Make fun of him and mock him to no end

*far-right wing voice* actually the fact that you are against my intolerance means perhaps it is you who is the intolerant one

Uh, the far left is no better. Let’s be real.

*centrist voice* both the far left and far right are equally bad…mayhaps those fighting against fascism are the real fascists…really makes you think

meanwhile at the far left: “Let’s go beat up some nazis for fun”

Help marginalized people stay healthy and safe!

People use wheelchairs for a lot of different reasons.

Some people use wheelchairs because they are paralyzed and completely unable to walk. That is not the only reason people use wheelchairs, and many wheelchair users have some ability to walk.

Here are some reasons some people who can walk use wheelchairs:

  • They can walk, but it’s very difficult and not an efficient way of getting around
  • Walking causes them severe pain
  • Walking is medically inadvisable because of the strain it would put on their heart
  • They have cognitive problems that make walking more difficult than wheeling
  • Falling causes them to break bones, and they are unsteady on their feet and fall easily
  • They can’t stand in place because they need to be moving to stay upright
  • They can walk some days but not others

If you see someone use a wheelchair sometimes and walk other times, don’t assume they don’t need their chair. If you see a wheelchair user stand up to reach something, don’t assume that they don’t need their chair.

People use wheelchairs for a lot of different reasons, and many people who can walk some absolutely depend on wheelchairs for mobility.

Disability is complicated, and personal. There are a lot of reasons that people use various types of adaptive equipment. (None of which are the business of strangers). Knowing one reason people use something doesn’t mean you know all the reasons, or that you are in a position to assume you know what’s going on with everyone you see using adaptive equipment.

tl;dr: Many wheelchair users can walk some. They still need their wheelchairs. Don’t assume that someone isn’t really disabled just because you see them walk or stand sometimes.

For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!

I love you for sharing this!!!

For more old cookbooks, Michigan State University has 76 of their historical cookbooks scanned and searchable at Feeding America: The Historic American Cookbook Project.

For even older recipes, check out Gode Cookery.  They list medieval and Renaissance cooking instructions and translate the recipes for you into measurable amounts and all.

I have have have to mention Miss Leslie. I learned so much about cooking from that book, even if a lot of it is outdated.

Also, Forme of Cury is great fun, if you can muddle through the Middle English (Gode Cookery has translations and adaptions of some of the recipes from this).
