fucked up how cooking and baking from scratch is viewed as a luxury…..like baking a loaf of bread or whatever is seen as something that only people with money/time can do. I’m not sure why capitalism decided to sell us the idea that we can’t make our own damn food bc it’s a special expensive thing that’s exclusive to wealthy retirees but it’s stupid as hell and it makes me angry
throw him off. into spikes. just die gosh darn it.
Jokes abt Yao's age that have him protesting- "I'm n o t older than cheese!"
he will sniff with great dignity, and be like, “cheese-making was invented at least 7,000 years ago. i, born of the yellow river, the great giver of life and death, am only 4000 or so.”
(tho ngl, in the confucian tradition, seniority confers prestige! maybe our old man is torn in between being mad at the kids talking about him being an ancient codger and lying that he was well, actually there to see the invention of cheese. or the wheel, even!)
I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.
But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck.
I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.
You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.
You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should. But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.
I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.
And I love it.

me, as a fuckin dumbass I am, thought that "the uni" was european union ;_; so, you cook for yourself? chinese soups or something like that?
I’m not allowed to use the dorm kitchen after I tried making popcorn…
Feli and Alfred are culinary arts majors, so they invite friends over to each other’s dorms at least once a week to eat. We’re usually guinea pigs for their assignments.
Other than that, I usually eat out or order in.
I can’t believe Kiku did that lol.

Oh i could talk about happy germ boy all day! I always sort of imagined that while he’s very awkward and slow to open up to people (especially when under stress I.e all the time cause it’s him and he can’t catch a break) once you break down his armor he can be a real goofball! I love the idea of him and Prussia joking around with each other like brothers usually do, it’s real cute.
