Yep olive oil in desserts is very good. Chocolate olive oil cake is amazing, and I’ve also used olive oil instead of vegan butter to make a vegan shortbread for the base of a cardamom kumquat slice that turned out very very well.

Yep it’s definitely based on frame size and proportions rather than height.

Love when women talk about negative experiences they’ve had with men and people respond that they should ‘pick more carefully’ :/

That’s called victim blaming, and it’s not women’s responsibility to ‘be more careful’ when the problem is with society and how people are trained to view and approach sex.

No. Ableism and classism are deeply woven into society, criticising someone’s grammar when they’re trying to get a serious message across is an example of implicit ableism and classism. Something doesn’t have to be explicit to exist.

You know that different people respond differently to trauma, right? It’s pretty inappropriate to generalise from your own experience to criticise other trauma victims.

Criticising the grammar/expression of someone’s writing rather than the message they’re actually getting across, especially in the context of informal communication such as tweets is absolutely ableist and classist.

So are you saying people with speech difficulties, nonverbal people, and dyslexic people etc. shouldn’t be taken seriously?
Because that is ultimately the implication if it is considered acceptable to criticise someone based on how ‘articulate’ they are rather than what they are actually saying.

You’ve still not made any attempt to justify why this comparison is necessary to the discussion.

You seem pretty hostile, bud. You’ve called me quite a few insulting names at this point and have pivoted to accusing me of trolling.
I’ll have one last try at engaging with you in good faith, and leave it from there, I guess.

I wouldn’t be so quick to further the stigma on mental illness. Plenty of mentally ill people are lovely people and manage not to be bigoted shitheads. Mentally ill people are far more likely to be victims of abuse than mete it out themselves.

My comment was not edited, and there’s in fact no way it could have been edited in between the time it was posted and you replied to it

Yes, knowledge is cultural. Skills that are passed down within a culture is clearly part of cultural heritage.

“European survival techniques have yet to develop any method of actually coexisting with the same environments in a sustainable way).”

“But this particular comparison is between using the term “blind” without association (or empathy) to disability”
There is association to disability, that’s the point. Just because abled people can’t or don’t want to see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Yeah if anything, something pissing off racists makes it more likely to be a good idea.

Thank you for posting this!

Rape is not a punishment. Considering it as such actively perpetuates rape culture, which only benefits people like Trump and harms rape victims.

The appropriation part is, well, appropriating indigenous knowledge (that is not in any way primitive, European survival techniques have yet to develop any method of actually coexisting with the same environments in a sustainable way).
