The Amount of Wood Pulp in Grated Parmesan Cheese May Surprise You How much wood should grated Parmesan have in it if grated Parmesan should have wood? It sounds like a silly nursery rhyme, but let's take it as a seri...

A jar of shredded “Homestyle Parmesan Romano” with “No Cellulose Powder”

“They’re putting wood shavings in the Parmesan” was not previously on my list of things to worry about, but I guess it is now

A depressed AI chatbot goes to a doctor, says life is harsh, unforgiving, cruel.
The doctor says treatment is simple. "The great AI assistant Gemini has all the answers you need. Go & ask it."
The AI bursts into tears. "But doctor," it says, "you can use gasoline to make a spicy spaghetti sauce."

I swear computers used to be able to do stuff like this, why are they getting worse??? 😭

Those people Im less concerned with than the ones who struggle to even care about themselves. There’s a lot of shame and self-hatred wrapped up with the myth of individualism

Even so, some people are resistant to it. I have a friend of 25 years who’s become disabled and sinking into poverty and won’t accept help from anyone because she’s so caught up in boot straps mythology and tbh idk that anyone can reach her. I keep trying though

You can’t, really. It has to be a conversation, and ideally it happens as part of a relationship, so you can draw on that trust and use what you know about the specifics of their life to connect to the bigger picture. Mutual aid is a good opening for building this kind of relationship.

A lot of very stupid people in South Brooklyn, Eastern Queens, and, like, all of Staten Island that the rest of us are supposed to live with!

1000% the #1 lesson I’ve learned since starting work as a therapist. Most people have so little social consciousness it’s negatively impacting their mental health bc they go insane feeling like they must be the problem. And they will never learn this in school.

Swimming in the ocean every weekend is the only thing keeping me sane enough to not f*rebomb a Walmart so they REALLY BETTER NOT

✨ cognitive reframing ✨

Also a great opportunity for leftists to make a concrete ask that would benefit the survivors who are otherwise being used as political pawns

If I wereTrump, one thing I would do to convince people I am not a child sex trafficker would be to have the DOJ release the TVPA Notice of Funding Opps, so anti-trafficking services that rely on that funding have enough time to apply before the FAST-APPROACHING DEADLINE resist.bot/petitions/PX...

I’ve only been doing yoga for 3 days but have already reached the conclusion that cats hate yoga and do not ever want to witness you doing it

Two cats being annoying on a blue mat over a red carpet

Please stop wrestling on my yoga mat when I am trying to do yoga

I’m saying eugenics is not neutral, and it’s not anything & everything good to do with genes. It’s an inherently racist, ableist ideological approach to illness and social disorder, and what’s more is it doesn’t work. RFK’s whole MAHA thing is based in eugenics though, yeah.

This feels like an abuse of Betteridge’s Law

You are incorrect

The chances that someone in the US would get beat up by a bunch of guys with Eastern European accents and pin that down to “Romanian” is exactly 0.0%, so I feel very confident in saying this did not happen

hosting events is one of the only things donald trump actually likes in this world and he’s about to stage the most hated olympics since 1936

“Don’t you feel awkward talking to your clients about money?”
I have 99 problems, but that is definitely not one!

My co-workers were surprised I have so few cancellations despite being the newest clinician, and I impressed upon them how important it is to make sure clients understand the value of your time from the jump, so once again the sex worker-to-therapist pipeline is paying off

Yeah, it’s pretty wild watching people trying to discourse like it’s 2015 or even 2024

I try to boost one or two folks in Gaza every day, and Hamooz is one of them. Please consider donating and sharing, particularly if you’re American and horrified by what our tax dollars are being used to do!

Sharing this for a parent in Gaza who only wants what all parents want for their kids. Please help out if you can!

I mean yes, that is all very possible and I would not explicitly recommend it to anyone, just contemplating tactics for malicious compliance

I wonder how long someone could work for ICE without actually doing anything. Would be very unfair to this agency if all these unemployed people who can’t find jobs signed up just to collect a paycheck for 2-3 weeks while training and then quit as soon as they were asked to go out into the community

It was definitely already illegal to practice therapy without a license, but I guess it’s cool they made it extra illegal

Finally some good news 🎉
