There are cherry pierogies from the Eastern European grocery in my freezer right now :)

AUTISM IS NOT A DISABILITY. It’s not a legal disability. It’s not a medical disability.

Not if you have a uterus.

I like to make it with olive oil, capers, and green olives. If I have crunchy stuff, carrots, celery, I’ll add them.

Who could hate crows!? Crows are awesome!

Not spaghetti, but elbow macaroni. Nom. I was allergic to tomatoes and dairy fat as a kid, so I actually ate it with margarine. I love it.

I absolutely *love* buccatini! It’s my pasta of choice.

The story of underwear getting smaller is also the story of clothing getting smaller. I almost wrote “underpants” instead of “underwear,” but it holds as true for chemises and corsets as it does for knickers (in the Regency/Victorian sense of the word).

I have been struggling to master these basic pasta water and fat-based sauces - cacio e pepe, aglio e olio, pasta al limone, carbonara - and it is killing me. Sometimes it comes out, sometimes it doesn’t. Type of pasta definitely matters bc some pastas give starchier water than others. Tradition aside, angel hair is a…

Just so you know: They are probably lying when they answer that question, anyway. Sometimes, they are required to tell you how delicious the latest special is or suggest a “favorite,” but it’s just words that they are ordered to say.

I know it’s annoying, but cut them some slack. They get judged on whether or not they offer you stuff, and sometimes they have sales goals to meet (number of ccs opened, for example). Just say no and hate the system, not the employee.

If you’re a woman, and more than one woman says you’re difficult to work with, you might want to consider some self-reflection, maybe even with the assistance of some professional help.

Unsure,

I shaved my eyebrows off once. It wasn’t for fashion, though, it was kinda just bc. I didn’t draw them back in, either. It was surprising how few people noticed.

Yay for new jobs! I hope you are happy there.

That same shirt is available in a version with the same profile that says “Africans.”

I don’t know about the Scots, but the Irish weren’t always “white” (in quotes bc whiteness has little to do with skin color). Many immigrant groups who are now considered white were not always, including Germans and Poles. Whiteness is fungible.

I’ve never been to an Applebee’s, but I do love bacon and cheese (and booze). I understand why they do well.
