Okay this is my favourite ambigram I’ve made

HOW DOES YOUR BRAIN EVEN DO THIS, THIS IS MAGIC AND WONDER AND YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN VAST SUMS OF MONEY AS A BRIBE TO KEEP YOU FROM BUILDING AN UNDERGROUND SUPERVILLAIN LAIR.

Whoooooa! It took me a minute to read the top one, but WHOOOOOA THIS IS AWESOME

/dies of admiration

I spent today in the kitchen with Claudia Roden’s Middle Eastern Cookery book.

So very, very worth it. It’s been way too long since I spent a whole afternoon in the kitchen, and I forgot how good it feels - lower-pressure than doing work, and you can get involved in something without worrying that it’s not useful, plus you get delicious noms at the end. :p

Starter:
- Rosemary focaccia (pictured) and honey and seed bread, bought from Sainsbury’s
- Baba ganoush (aubergine and tahini paste with lemon and garlic)
- Dukkah (nut and spice mix, made with toasted sesame seeds and cashews, cinnamon, and cumin seeds)
- Olive oil

Main course
- Circassian chicken and rice (boiled chicken, boiled onion, steamed rice, sauce made from crushed walnuts and chicken stock, garnished with a mixture of oil and paprika)
- Beetroot salad (diced beetroot, yoghurt, lemon juice and olive oil, garnished with green pepper)

Pudding
- Ataif (a kind of yeasty pancake) stuffed with walnut, cinnamon, and sugar and deep-fried (kinda. We don’t have a deep-fat frier. I used a wok)
- Whipped cream
- Crushed pistachios
- Syrup (lemon juice, sugar, and water)

I consider today a success.

This is realllllllllly weird lmao

This is really NORMAL.
Except we never see it-so it is terrifying and uncomfortable when it happens.
(Mostly because people would laugh or be unkind)

I own a sex shop. Once a woman bled on our chair during an interview. She was horrified and felt ashamed because it was in some way unprofessional. We weren’t bothered. We said ‘what better place to work on being ok with your body than at a feminist sex shop?’
Bleeding is normal and dealing with it is one of the most pervasive ways women are complicit in their silence.

Some men bleed too. How would you react to that? For many men who are Trans the act of bleeding is a security threat.

Fuck off with your lolz.

Reblogging again for above commentary ^^^^^

very cool

#it always starts when you’re wearing white trousers #that’s it#that’s the rule #since I got a pair of white trousers I am on constant red alert #pun intended

I made the mistake of wearing white knickers today and the rule has once again been proven.

It’s true. And guys (/penis-havers), I can pretty much guarantee you that the majority of uterus-havers you know are aware of the arcane magic of white bottoms. I can almost guarantee that if they have uneven periods, as I do, they have at some point attempted to channel that magic by wearing their palest and most stainable knickers and bottoms to try and summon the terrible demon Menstrua. Usually about a week before going on holiday or seeing their significant other. 

I legit have a pair of white knickers just for the purposes of period-summoning.

(It never works when you want it to)
