Telling a woman who says she doesn’t want kids “You’ll change your mind” is really shitty because

it’s assigning motherhood to a person who is explicitly rejecting it

it’s reinforcing gender roles 

it makes motherhood out to be something you do because you have to, not because you genuinely want to

it’s infantilizing to make it seem like she can’t make decisions about her own life

it’s invalidating of her desires which she is capable of knowing and communicating

it’s telling a grown woman that you know what she wants better than she does

The Art of Shaping Dough with Pasta Geek @miyukiadachi

To see more photos and videos of Miyuki’s skillful pasta-making, follow @miyukiadachi on Instagram.

To many, pasta means Italy, and evokes images of mouthwatering alfresco meals surrounded by olive groves in the hills of Tuscany. But there is a whole world of pasta lovers out there, and Miyuki Adachi (@miyukiadachi) of Osaka, Japan, is the ultimate pasta geek, despite having never stepped foot in Italy.

A British and American literature graduate, Miyuki was unsure about her future when she finished college. Little did she know her destiny was held in her own name (Miyuki means “deeply happy” in Japanese). After much soul-searching, she realized what made her most happy was kneading dough and artfully shaping it — so she became a professional cook.

Currently working as the lead pasta-maker at a restaurant in Toronto, Canada, Miyuki forms all kinds of pasta, but one of her favorites is strascinati, which requires a technique of “dragging” the pasta. “I love the feeling of the knife pulling over the layers of pasta dough,” she says. When it comes to her favorite pasta dish to eat, Miyuki has no doubts: “Orecchiette, because of its chewiness and ability to hold sauce well,” says Miyuki. “I serve it with broccoli raab, garlic and anchovy with toasted bread crumbs. It is really simple and has a clean flavor.”

President Obama after Oregon shooting: “Our thoughts and prayers are not enough.”

Hours after today’s massacre in Oregon, President Obama took the podium for the 15th time after a mass shooting. Sounding stern and appearing frustrated, Obama challenged Americans to respond more forcefully to this shooting. His full, impassioned statement is one every American needs to hear.
