I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said âlet me call my husband real quickâ and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `âYou know that was probably a scam, right?â and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If youâre âscammingâ me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money.Â
âA scamâ people are fucking wild. Â

This photoshoot is dedicated to all the South Asian women out there who are often underrepresented in media simply because the color of their skin doesnât fit South Asiaâs unreasonable, fair&lovely, eurocentric beauty standards. As we all know, colorism is huge in India and Pakistan. Our society has come to the point where people talk about fighting oppression and uplifting women, but no one actually does anything about it. In this photoshoot I wanted to help represent darker skinned girls in the media, and address an issue through fashion photography.
Little girls grow up with their mothers bantering them about their skin color and how a man would never want them because theyâre too dark. This does not help a girlâs self confidence, and itâs important to teach them from a young age that theyâre beautiful and worthy in order to prevent them from being a self conscious teen. Itâs also important to teach other girls that are lighter skinned to support these girls. In high school, a South Asian boy my friend had a crush on said that she was âtoo darkâ and basically implied thatâs the reason why he wouldnât want a relationship with her. Comments like these are what destroy girlâs self confidence, especially when theyâre young, vulnerable and lost. Support and help your sisters!
With the rise of young South Asians taking their pride in jewelry and colorful clothes to Instagram, itâs important not to romanticize the culture. Every culture has itâs good and bad, and although itâs totally fine to appreciate and be grateful for the good, we shouldnât be silent about the bad especially if we are privileged. While our own South Asians are constantly romanticizing our culture, but not acknowledging itâs dirty laundry they are also promoting social marginalization. Women are treated horribly, LGBTQ isnât a thing (especially in Pakistan), and more of our afro-south asian brothers and sisters are murdered on the streets the longer we stay silent. Instead of bringing light to these issues, our culture keeps quiet.

Who wants to guess how many bags of peaches are in my dadâs freezer?
The answer is:
Too fucking many
This is gonna make ⌠a lot of jam âŚâŚ.
So, I managed to fit all but one big bowl of peaches into the two stock pots âŚ
An hour and a half later, here they are simmering away âŚ
How long is it gonna take to reduce them to jam, you ask?? Fuck if I know at this size lmao
In case you were wondering, it is, in fact, longer than 5 hours, as I am still stirring this jam over the oven đ đ đ
Oh and also there was another large bowl of peaches in the other fridge that I did not see until later, so I did not in fact fit ALL the peaches into the stock pots
On a brighter note, the whole house smells like a Victorian Christmas dinner
Hello again friends, it is currently REAL JAMMING TIME and I have been in stirring hell for seven hours
Went through two whole containers of pectin and a bunch of cornstarch already and things are looking just PEACHY
So, uh, the first stock pot alone yielded 272 ounces, so I ⌠may have accidentally made about 68 8oz jars of jam âŚâŚ and I only had 36 jars âŚ
Guess Iâm going back to the store tomorrow ⌠and going to have to join the local farmers market to sell them âŚ
Anyway, TEN CONTINUOUS HOURS OF WORK LATER, here I am at around 3am sealing my first batch of jars ⌠(entire other stock pot of jam lurks ominously in the background)
God, itâs like when you overestimate how much pasta youâre gonna end up with, only 300% worse
So I woke up today after sleeping like a log to fibd my dad had already gone back to the store (which is like 30 min away) and gotten me more jars because he saw that I needed them
As you can see one of those pachages is the wrong size jar (4oz) so weâll see if I can fit all the jam into these suckers (plus the two 8oz ones I had leftover)
My dad also put all the jars of jam in the fridge, although since they were all properly sealed (aw yeah) was totally unnecessary lol
He said he accidentally dropped one on the way to the fridge but I checked and it amazingly A) didnât break, and B) remained properly sealed, so hats off to Ball corp, and also me I guess
Update: WE BE JAMMINâ
Spices I used for this recipe:
-Cinnamon
-Nutmeg
-Ginger
-Allspice
-Vanilla Extract
The combination worked out very well!
Gotta can the rest of it after I eat tho đ
So, I FINALLY managed to can all the jam, except for like ⌠6 oz of it, so I made shortbread cookies to use that with đ
Altogether I did end up with 72 jars of jam, 12 of which are the 4oz size though. What the fuck am I gonna do with all this jam, jesus christ
Anyway, thanks for coming to my jam-filled TED talk guys, take care
send me some jam op
This is my bfs grandparents with pecans. They have two full deep freezers filled with pecans
How to determine if a kids injury is serious or not
offer them âmedicinal chocolateâ if they stop crying itâs fine if they carry on crying/refuse the chocolate then itâs serious
From age two apparently^^
Oh wow I never heard this one.
German edition: offer the kid to blow away the pain. If itâs better afterwards itâs okay, if they refuse or still screaming itâs serious
Also a lot healthier than giving your kid chocolate everytime they cry tbh
Itâs not everytime they cry itâs only if they get injured and youâre unsure if itâs serious because they are screaming but you canât tell if they are overreacting or not
For things that are clearly a minor bump we give kisses instead
And before anyone thinks if a kid is screaming itâs not an over reaction
My kid fell off their bike and skinned their knee. Just skinned it thatâs all and they went into full on scream/crying hysterical because it was bleeding and they hadnât had an injury where they bled within their memory
It wasnât so much the pain as the blood that made them hysterical.
In that case we could see it wasnât serious but the chocolate helped them calm down and then I got them to tell me about Terraria until they were calm and their wound was dressed
It was absolutely an overreaction to a skinned knee but it was also an understandable one
Kids donât have experience or pain tolerance we do and sometimes itâs hard to tell if itâs something that requires a trip to the hospital or not
Kids donât have experience or pain tolerance we do
This is importantâŚ.weâve had 20+ years of injuries and can compare some pain to other pains and be like this doesnât hurt nearly as much as this other thing that happened. Pain is an experience thatâs new to kids, especially little ones. Some overreactions are to be expected
