way to find something...

The only photos of Michelle we have rights to are of her alongside Patton. So it was either a close, awkward crop, or something resembling the one I used, which I think is actually sort of sweet—especially because he has continued her work.

That was very well put, and I can think of other examples from Al Jolson (who was so mad that censors wouldn’t let him cast black actors if they played opposite of white characters that he funded all black productions so their stories could be told and they could have decent roles) to the way “Friends” handled…

When representation of a group is absent or near absent, then any representation will be welcomed at first; even if it is stereotypes and #face-acting by another ethnicity. As time goes on and representation increases so the quality of that representation needs to improve too or appreciation will drop. The Simpsons is…

I can’t help but wonder what it would have been like to have him and Trump in the same room both desperately trying to act like they deserve their jobs.

Bret Easton Ellis is trash.

Or if you’re just being pulled over for a routine traffic stop.

STOP WEARING MORE THAN 12" OF MASCARA AT ONE TIME. YOU HAVE GOOEY BLACK CLIFFS DANGLING OFFA YOUR EYES. YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR EYES ARE BEING HUMPED BY RABID SPIDERS. YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS.

You can also just remove the woody bits. It’s an easily accomplished and only slightly time consuming bit of prep. It’s ideal for a kid who wants to help in the kitchen.

Yes, snapping. Everyone is supposed to know this.

“I JUST WANT TO TALK! IN A TOTALLY NORMAL MANNER!”

It’s not delivery, it’s de-stalking™

Snapping is the way to go. Not only is it quicker and easier than cutting, you’re guaranteed to get rid of the woody portion. The trick is to allow it to snap where it wants to snap. Don’t hold your fingers close together and try to snap it 1" from the end. Instead, hold it at either end of the stalk and bend it.…

So I peeked into the greys to see how the racists would make this your fault. I’m sorry to let you know that you’re an awful human being because:

Don’t you rip off the bottom third of the stalk? That’s the fibrous part. I do that, and then pan fry with olive oil and it comes out perfect every time.

This strikes me as an unnecessarily complicated solution. Asparagus is just not that hard to cook. The mention of mushy tips makes me think that perhaps you’ve been overcooking them all along? And if you’re just taking 1/4 inch off the ends, no wonder - for most asparagus on your grocery store shelves, the stalks need…
