The whole transandrophobia discussion thing is weird bc it feels like it's a bunch of poc and jewish trans people being like "here are my experiences of how specifically being MASCULINE had affected me, and the discrimination and violence I experienced based on that. And here is how that relates to me being a racial/ethnic minority"

And then a few loud white trans people going "ohhh you wanna be oppressed so bad you *slur*. This is why there aren't any poc in your movement it's because REAL poc understand intersectionality"

#hot take white culturally christian or athiest leftests do not properly interpret white jewish ppl #like as a poc i and other poc understand that white jewish ppl often get racial privilege #but a) not always b) they experience oppression based off of their ethnicity #idk from my perspective it seems like white goyim either see jewish ppl as 'the disgusting exotic enemy' or 'basically WASPS but they #wanna feel special'#with no nuance. no recognition #look maybe this next part is bc i didnt grow up with jewish ppl and therefore didnt know until I was 18/19 that jewish ppl can count as #white. but like. idk how to say this. i dont wanna speak over white jewish ppl. but like.#jewish ppl that have obvious jewish features (whether Ashkenazi facial features OR they dont have those but wear eg kippahs)#arent like. white. idk pls correct me if this is antisemitic or incorrect or something.#but like. light skinned =/= white obviously.#i just struggle to see how my bestfriend with her lovely dark eyes and curls and nice nose counts as 'white' when ppl call her the k slur #across the street. ykwim?#like white doesnt mean light skinned. it means 'part of the in-group of white ppl'#like my ex who is white and jewish? yeah hes white. if he didnt wear his necklace then goyim wouldnt know. you know #like obvs he still experiences ethnic oppression but he doesnt experience racial oppression #but other ppl with more prominent eg ashkenazi (im singling them out bc most jewish ppl here are ash.) like i dont GET how they have racial #privilege.

Have you ever tried an Asparagus Pea (Tetragonolobus purpurea)?

This is a relative of peas rather than asparagus. The species is grown all over tropical Southeast Asia and is thought to have come from New Guinea originally. This plant is a novelty crop in western gardens but it has great potential to become a more economically important plant. For example, all parts of the plant are edible (with proper cooking), the seeds can be used in a similar way to soybeans, and it can be processed into feed for domestic animals. It’s very easy to grow in the UK.

We weren’t too impressed with the stringy pods and astringent taste of the pods but we may have not used the optimal cooking style.

The third benefit of language learning is being able to read the extended family group chat, where it turns out they spend days discussing the fruits they want to eat

#fascinating stuff. today I learned about the wampi fruit.#there's a whole world of exotic fruits out there I have yet to try...#patter #anyways this discussion covered it all. where they grow. when they're ripe.#how much they sell for in the local markets (varies considerably depending on latitude). which uncle has one in his backyard.#the world of wampi

*Pokes head out of musty lizard den* Send Them Off! by bastille is a fragileshipping song. Set me free from my jealousy! Won't you exorcise my mind indeed (wisely puts this to an AMV of anime boys in my head). Look it has it all exorcism metaphors Shakespeare references a really nice horn sample. They deserve it.

#come closer. embrace the fragileshipping with me in the year of our lord 2k23. Trust me and my big trustworthy eyes.#this ship grows on me like exotic mold I didn't even realize how often it occupies my thoughts until like a day ago #fragileshipping #yami yugi #atem #ryou bakura #ygo #yugioh #my stuff

It's starting to be more available now bc it's getting swept up in the health food craze but it's so annoying how ingredients/food that's traditional to the region is much harder to get than all the "exotic" food stuffs that are considered normal now

#like whaddayah meeeeaaaaannn brewed chicory was a common drink here for ages way before coffee was introduced #and now if I want it I have to go to the most etepetete organic expensive shop #same with buckwheat and millet although they sell it at Aldi now too #*exotic as in it doesn't grow here

Just got my weekly email from an online invertebrates store I get some of my pets and pet supplies from and...

And of course they are wild caught, something which happens far more than I'd like with this shop

Love using memes to sell wild caught, exotic and difficult to keep animals.

#it feels inevitable that people will buy these baby crabs without having the ability to care for them properly as they grow #I know from previous experience that this store doesn't really verify that the people buying their animals are capable #which is fine when you are selling tatantulas isopods or millipedes etc.#these things get over 3 feet in width #they are also threatened across much of their range #they don't need the additional pressure of collection for the pet trade #stuff like this gives 'exotic' pet owners such a bad name #the priority should always be the welfare of the animals both in the wild and captivity #this is at best a zoo animal #not a pet

the supermarket is perhaps one of america's most glorious achievements. a marvel in the grand scheme of history.

#people take it for granted #but if you really think about it it's a historical oddity that every town has multiple stores #with an abundance of relatively cheap food from locally produced foods to exotic foods from around the world #once upon a time you'd have to grow and process your food all on your own #or you'd have to spend a huge portion of your wages to pay someone else to do all that #and even then it would almost entirely be foods that are only available locally and seasonally

The forest heaps have a youtube channel and have their videos taken down 6 times for "encouraging dangerous activities" so they have to add a disclaimer now <3 jenna is internet famous to the "getting free stuff" and "meeting important/famous people" level. Septimus is also famous but his tiktoks r rlly inconsistent in style/content so everyone under the age of 25 HAS seen smth of his but most ppl don't know its all by the same guy. Marcia has a youtube channel + a website that r both rlly popular in a specific corner of the internet (despite her videos all looking like they r from 2006) bc she is REALLY knowledgeable in what she's talking abt+is very good at explaining it + lists every single source she mentions in an easy to read alphabetical bullet point list. University students especially love her. No one knows who the fuck it is running this channel+website bc her microphone is so shitty (she has captions tho so it's fine). Simon is heavily inspired by her and that's why he tries to start his own channel but obviously it does not work </3

YEAH SPIT FYRE I was imagining like. A modern au spit fyre (weird dog? Lizard?? Bird? Fucked up horse????) but smartphones in the canon universe.....terrifying tbh

It's the "this messy family is running the entire castle" but instead it's "can you believe all of these influencers are related"

Also I was thinking of Spit Fyre as some kind of extra fancy dog breed which is the only reason why Marcia let Septimus have him. Except Sep literally found him in some alley and noone ever properly trained him and also it's still a dog, so really Marcia was doomed from the start

#Exotic lizard is actually more tempting now though #like the kind everyone warns you about. Cute little lizard that grows into an actual alligator #omg fucked up horse though. Sep why #septimus heap #septimusdotjpeg

🏆 Best exotics strain list

Exotic strains of cannabis are all the rage. These in-demand hybrids are called exotics because of their higher than normal potency. Exotic-grade cannabis goes for top dollar, so growing exotics can be very rewarding to cultivators.

Meet the adorable Thai Pink Egg Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). This dreamily coloured tomato resembles the gemstone rhodochrosite and has a mild refreshing flavour. This variety is rarely seen in the Western world and it is one of the few truly Asian tomato varieties. According to what I’ve read ( such as this marvellous history article) tomatoes are relatively newcomers in East Asian cuisine and therefore there aren’t as many heritage tomatoes from Asian as there are in the Americas and the Western world. The Thai Pink Egg plants are quite pale and skinny compared to our other tomatoes, but this may be because the Thai Pinks are better adapted to hot humid climates like their native Thailand. Nonetheless, they bear a generous harvest of fruits!
