This is a simple one that I still get a craving for every once in a while: https://www.everyplate.com/recipes/beef-shepherds-pie-62f1622f2c02226365032497
I try to minimize my consumption of red meat but you can adjust the proportion or replace it with meat substitutes and it's still really good.
Would you be willing to share the recipe? I have made them a few times for holidays and I find that I just can't compete with store bought. I like most my other pies more than store bought pies but apple is just so particular.
You're probably right. Plus I'm so confrontation averse I don't think I would send it regardless.
Yes. I think remember one where people read a story and the name was changed and when it was a male name they gave positive words like leader and decisive and with a female name it was negative like pushy and demanding.
This isn't exactly what I was talking about but came up immediately on a search: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/12/10/study-finds-gender-perception-affects-evaluations
I look forward to seeing it!
Agree all around. I saw a thread recently about street harassment and men were just circlejerking about how women are the ones targeting them 🙄
I tried to start an all female gaming server recently but of course I got a bunch of responses from men explaining how that's sexist and some other presumably well meaning guys that explained that they are feminists and understand if I don't want men but would be happy to join if I ever wanted additional people. It's hard to explain that messaging in the first place regardless of if they were nice about it is an issue. I said women only and I meant women only. They clearly saw that and still replied. I understand they were polite but that's really not the point.
If you'd be willing to share a mood board or preliminary sketches/ideas, I'm sure we'd love to see it. I love the motifs of books and apocalypse together. Something about how integral they become when everything else crumbles, and how sacred knowledge is really speaks to me. Idk if this makes sense but it always gives me a more alt style cottagecore vibes.
Yea, I looked through some previous posts on this community and guys seem to be negatively responding to the mod when she politely informs them not to comment. They are the ones breaking the rules and when she tells them they get mad. Really sad to see.
I agree regarding the blocking, but it sucks because a bunch of other guys don't understand why. So when I want to play a team game and I tell people in a relevant gaming space that I don't play with a specific person it looks like I'm the bad guy. I know I'm not in the wrong, but now I'm stuck either alienating potential friends if I don't explain further or spending time and energy explaining something they may not understand. It's exhausting. I know that the guys aren't trying to be rude when they ask why, but it's alienating. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but male dominated online spaces can be rough even if the majority are relatively normal. Unless they go the extra step from normal to actually understanding the female perspective they are almost contributing to the issue. It's not a if you're not with me you're against me thing, but it really feels like if you're not with me from the start it's an uphill battle.
Omg. So true. I've seen that meme around but never put it in this context. It really does exemplify the issue. I don't want to seem like I don't care about others opinions, but time and place are so important. I'm definitely just gonna start sending this. I think it gets the point across without being too specific or requiring a full write up about how in this specific context their comment was not necessary.
Done! Thank you 🙏
I just picked up crochet for the first time. I got a starter kit recently but didn't realize it's at an intermediate level 🫣 I still don't quite have the hang of it, but I'm glad I've branched out and am proud of myself for sticking to it.
Thanks for sharing! I have some chips left over from another recipe and I've been thinking about what to do with them. Looking forward to trying this tonight!
