  • You really think the trans-hate is only going to affect people who are trans?

    Any man or woman who aren’t sufficiently cookie-cutter cisgendered are going to be affected. Including people who simply work in fields that are typically gendered and not their gender. Women who are doctors or scientists, men who are nurses or stay-at-home.

    People who just don’t look masculine or feminine enough. Women who don’t dress like couch cushions to let Vance creep out on them.

    Pretty much anyone who doesn’t present themselves as they want are going to be “trans”.

    And that’s ignoring creepy ass men checking a child’s genitals.

    And of course, trans people are worth protecting, same as any other person.




  • If you pickle that red onion, everything turns red. for example:

    But that’s not the reason… from chowhound

    Red onions got their name because, at the time of their discovery, purple didn’t exist as a color descriptor. Over time, a more complex language for colors evolved, and hues like yellow, green, and, yes, purple, entered our vocabulary. As with many quirks of language, names don’t always evolve with our understanding of the world. (For example, the pineapple was named by a British explorer bereft of any understanding of the fruit.)

    It may seem strange to think that specific names for colors are a matter of invention. After all, red and purple being two distinct colors seems like a simple fact today. However, it is important to note that language plays a big role in creating these variations. Pink, in particular, was not used as a color descriptor in English until the 17th century. And before the word orange was invented, orange items were often called red or geoluhread in English-speaking countries, which translates to yellow-red.











  • make sure you cook your food to the safe temps. The good news is it’s technically time and temp. you don’t have to overcook your chicken to be safe about it. For example, you can cook your steak to 130 in a sousvide and hold it there long enough for the center to be at 130 for 121 minutes and achieve a log 7 reduction, while still serving a perfectly medium rare. (just let it rest down and sear it off on high heat for a perfect crust and perfect medium rare.)

    160 is high enough that if you reach it for any amount of time you’ve achieved the same log-7 reduction, though. I’ve found taking chicken breasts to 145 and letting them rest to 155 (and back down) is both safe and also the best texture (I’m not a fan of very-rare chicken. technically you could do some pink if you held it at a lower temp, but, eh… it’s still juicy and tender this way.)
