Perfect day for sitting outside Etihad Stadium watching cricket on the big screen. I’m not interested in cricket but this is a pleasant place to sit at lunchtime on an overcast day. (at Etihad Stadium)
Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.
Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.
There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.
But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?
High five, America!
oh my god
bitch that’s the tubby custard machine
im crying
OMFG THIS POST FINALLY MADE IT TO MY DASHBOARD IM CRYING
“bitch that’s the tubby custard machine”
10,000 years from now on the dawn of a new civilization where we are all just brains in jars flying spaceships through the vast unknowable void, i will still be laughing my ass off at “bitch that’s the tubby custard machine”. this i vow.
i cannot believe this post is back on my dash
I can’t believe how much tubby action is on my dash these days
@elodieunderglass, how does this fit in with the ecology and life history of the creatures?
honestly I genuinely don’t know enough about them to speculate? I was born in ‘88, so I was far too old for them when they first appeared on television, and we are raising our baby with strictly limited access to TV. I know practically nothing of their lore, and am mostly ignorant of the relevance of tubby custard outside of “bitch that’s the tubby custard machine.”
I only know that Teletubbies are British; that the ones on television are surprisingly tall; that the ones on television are fairly diverse; and that the astral elders of the species have apparently communicated the knowledge of their existence to me in a dream in the hopes of raising our collective consciousness. Beyond that I do not feel qualified to comment without further research, including a thorough review of the literature and input from more qualified researchers at reputable institutions. Ideally I would like to conduct extensive field studies for an ecological perspective, and I just don’t see myself getting the funding.
I would also like to seek input from the BBC regarding the captive ones, and they are famously tight-lipped regarding what goes on in their studios; I have a friend who was a science researcher for them, and they couldn’t even say what they did at work. I suppose I could do a Freedom of Information request to see if the Beeb is complying with ASPA, but I don’t know of teletubbies fall within the UK’s definition of “animals.”
This is the problem with dreams, they just DON’T get into the admin

It’s important to meet people where they are, not where we want them to be. There is a tendency, in many, to re-characterize people’s experiences without being asked. You tell them you are feeling badly, they tell you all the reasons you should feel good. You tell them you are challenged by your circumstances, they tell you what they think you can do to make things easier. You tell them that you have a plan to do something, they offer up another plan for you. There is a place for these offerings- particularly when requested- but often times they just make things worse. In fact, we are more likely to arrive at the next best place on our journeys when someone actually attunes to where we are at, without making any effort to improve upon or re-frame it. We don’t need to be saved- we need to be seen. That’s the healing, right there. I hear you, I see you, I honor your choices, goes a long, long way.
This week is predicted to be the hottest November week in Melbourne ever. So while you’re all enjoying the heat, take a moment to thank all of the oil, gas and coal CEOs who have not yet been hanged for crimes against humanity.
My first time trying pourover coffee. This is nothing like anything I’ve tasted before. I can’t tell whether I like it yet but I like trying something new. No bitterness, kinda sweet but without sugar, and tangy. (at Story Coffee and Foodstore)
