I posted some films HERE of what happens when you pour water on flaming oil.

They are Very Educational.

Please, be Educated and stay safe.

Well put. Please don’t ask us to censor our own identity. We’ve done our research, we don’t use it against people who don’t like it, and it’s exhausting pulling up the same reasoning over and over again, you know?

I think some of you forgot/didn’t know that gay used to be THE go-to insult for everything you didn’t like. And I know several people who used to get called lesbian in a derisive and negative way. Queer is not unique in being used as a slur. To think that is to forget our history, and to have listened to those who wish to erase it.

Some of yall werent old enough to be observing shit in the 2000’s and it shows

I don’t know what young or new LGBTQIA++ person needs to see this, but queer is a wonderful word. It’s not a bad word, it’s not a slur, and you don’t need to be afraid to use it or scared of it.

It’s a word for when we don’t quite know what we are. Or when what we know about ourselves is complicated, and we need a quick explanation. Or when we don’t need to share more. Or sometimes it’s just the best fit.

It’s the word where everyone is welcome, it’s the word for building a community. It’s a word for thinking, a word for doing, a word. Queer is the community y’all.

The America version is called FoodForAll

I love TooGoodToGo all of this sushi cost me £3.50 (the chinese food cost me £3.59)

YOOOOOOO, they’re formalizing this?!?!

I used to do community service at a community breakfast, we’d go to the local Safeway and get all their stale bread, the local bakery for their stale baked goods and whatnot.

They throw away so much food it’s ridiculous, I’m glad someone finally created a program like this!

The American app isn’t available everywhere but if you’re broke in NY or Boston, check it out!

The US app logo currently looks like this and was last updated 3 weeks ago (as of January 25th 2020)

TooGoodToGo is available in many European countries, including the UK, much of Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Italy and the Iberian peninsula. 

In Canada we have flash food, I dont know if it’s just confined to loblaw stores but you can get food that stores have to throw out for dirt cheap

I know I reblogged this once already but I’m back to say there’s an Australian version!

YWaste has been around since 2017 apparently, so they’re quite well established if you’re Australian and in need of options

I used to be broke and knowing about this app would have been extremely helpful. Hope it helps some of you folks out there ❤️

I use flashfood and it’s literally what enabled me to pay off my student debt and start saving

Holy shit.

In the fourth grade, we had to pick an inventor, dress like the inventor, and explain our invention. I decided to pick something off the wall (instead of, like, a light bulb), so I ended up doing my little presentation as George Crum. I remember reading about his work as a chef, learning about his shortness with customers, and the interaction (possibly apocryphal, although Crum certainly invented the potato chip) with the diner who kept complaining about his home fries being too thick.

I literally made a presentation as this man, and used a few websites and a couple encyclopediae (yeah, I’m old) to source all the data. I certainly know more than most people do about George Crum.

The point of all this is that, until I came across this post on Tumblr, I had absolutely no idea he was black. I’ve known who Crum was for over twenty years and never knew his race, because no website or encyclopedia thought it was worth mentioning.

Erasure is a fucking disease.

Wait @aurric if you had to dress like him for the presentation, wouldn’t you have had to look up a picture reference? How would you not know he was black?

It was 1995. I found encyclopedia articles and some old websites that referenced him as a chef, but never as a Black or Native man.

I dressed up like a chef.

Plane tickets almost always do this!

PLANE TICKETS DO THIS ALL THE DAMN TIME 

When you’re looking for plane tickets and waiting for prices to drop, ALWAYS clear your cookies beforehand and switch between browsers. A friend of mine was looking for a flight and getting prices that were the CHEAPEST at $800-1000, I sent her a link for a round trip that was like $495, and it read as $900 on her computer because she had been hounding the airline site. 

alternatively: avoid all this headache by using incognito when shopping for plane tickets, text
books, etc

Hotel rooms are notorious for this, as well. Just like, go on incognito mode to look at these sites, saves u a lot of time & hassle.

Bruh I ain’t never know dis thank you man

linus tech tips did a video on this (for flights) and apparently you can also save a bunch by using vpns to change your country
