ALTFandom Problem #4139:
When waiting for the next installment is no longer a feeling of being excited to find out what happens next but instead more of a "wow i really hope they don't fuck it up as bad as they did last time"
I don’t have food stamps but I need to know how to eat well for $4/day. Thank you for this.
I love this cookbook!
Tips and tricks on how to survive being working class.
I’ve seen this kind of thing before and a lot of them are full of random weird shit you’d never make…because of time constraints or like, it just sounds super gross.
But this one had a whole section that’s just “Things on Toast”. Another that was all about putting crap in your oatmeal to make it better. Those are fairly pedestrian and don’t take forever.
I haven’t looked through the whole thing yet but so far it’s actually pretty practical. Also if you’re broke like me and don’t know how to make Dal, you should get on that.
I also liked that there’s this at the beginning:
This book isn’t challenging you to live on so little; it’s a resource in case that’s your reality. In May 2014, there were 46 million Americans on food stamps. Untold millions more—in particular, retirees and students—live under similar constraints.
Been there. Done that. Advice on this art is always welcome.
The link above seems to be broken; here’s one that still works.

The absolute befuddlement people have with the concept of people aging.
"EEWWW, he was SO HOT in this movie that came out 25 years ago, why does he look so OOOOLLDDD now???" You're not gonna fuckin believe this

Back in my day a "critical" reading meant closer to a "literary analysis", not "i think everyone who likes this is secretly evil". Ironically, people who call themselves "critical" now seem to take things at literal face value more than people who actually analyze meaning of the text.

Parents railed against jazz and rock music would thinking it would make people sin, and now we know that's fucking crazy. Parents railed against Dungeons and Dragons thinking it would turn people into devil worshipers, and now we know that's fucking crazy. Parents railed against video games thinking it would make people into violent killers, and now we know that's fucking crazy. Now people not even old enough to be parents are railing against any or all problematic fiction thinking it would turn people into immoral heathens, exactly how do you think that's gonna go now?

someone tell the tumblerinas that you can raise an issue without deliberately guilt-tripping everyone about it
okay, I take it back. I don’t think everyone is doing this deliberately. some of it is so deeply entrenched in tumblr culture that you probably don’t always notice you’re doing it
“nobody’s talking about this” -> you can just delete this phrase
“if you can’t reblog this, unfollow me” -> you can also delete this one
“x group can, and should, reblog this” -> remove the “should”. or you know. delete the entire sentence
your post will still spread all the important information without the guilt-tripping parts, I promise
