I don’t have tiktok so I had to find this like a mole digging for worms and nothing could have prepared me for the actual video itself

We have GOT to stop being assholes to people with receding and balding hairlines. There’s not a single person that it can’t affect. It affects trans men, particularly on hormones, it affects trans women, particularly those not on hormones, it affects people with endocrine issues, something that’s becoming more prevalent and common, and it can affect people without a particular cause, including cis women. It’s a normal part of being human and we NEED to stop dehumanizing and humiliating ppl for it
My bf started losing his hair in his early 20s and the effect it’s had on him is devastating.
He’s an actor and he was dropped by his agent after he stopped hiding his hair loss. The roles he was cast in narrowed and shifted from more heroic characters to villains, and eventually he became so miserable about it that he stopped going to auditions altogether.
He used to enjoy dyeing his hair bright colours, and he lost that means of self expression. It alienated him from his own appearance, which knocked him back in coming out and exploring his queerness. The way he talks about it often feels dysmorphic. He says shaving makes him feel like he’s “rotting” - like he’s “scraping the mold off [his] head”.
I’ve seen drunk people and teenagers yell at him in the street and mock his baldness. I’ve seen people come up to him and slap his head or touch it without asking for permission. I’ve witnessed this behaviour from other trans people and women who I know would absolutely kick off if he took such a degrading or entitled attitude towards a part of their body, but seem to think it’s OK to do it to him.
Since going bald people perceive him as more masculine. He feels people are more suspicious of him. Women are less likely to approach him. Folks are quicker to put him in a box or misread his behaviour as aggressive or threatening, when the reality is that he’s neurodivergent and can’t conform to rigid social norms.
Baldness is a heavily gendered characteristic. If someone is conventionally masculine enough and/or is protected by other intersecting powers and privileges (eg wealth) then baldness can reinforce their maleness and the harm to their social standing is minimised. But if their performance of maleness is complicated by something like queerness or disability, it creates a dissonance. They have what is perceived as a hypermasculine trait standing in sharp contrast with their refusal/failure to perform normative, idealised masculinity.
And that’s how baldness is typically read - as failure. Especially when it exists outside of wealthy, successful, heterosexual masculinity but tbh even there too - just look at all the jokes about Jeff Bezos’ baldness or Elon Musk getting hair plugs. It’s similar to insulting Trump over his weight. Like yeah fuck those guys but all you’re really doing is revealing to the fat and bald people in your life that you think their bodies are deserving of mockery.
And God help you if you’re a bald woman. All women with receding hairlines are at a huge risk from transmisogyny.
Sorry for the essay. Baldness is absolutely a body neutrality issue. It’s an ageism issue, and a trans issue, and I WISH there was a broader recognition of this.

Alright, time to bust out this outfit for the summer.
[ID: image 1: A graphic of different shorts lengths titled “men’s guides to shorts this summer”. The first is a side view of a very short pair of shorts, labeled 2″ inseam and marked with a green checkmark. The rest are front views of 7″, 9″, and 11″ inseam, which either reach the knee or nearly reach the knee. They all have black X’s over them.
image 2: The front and back of a laid out outfit. The shirt is a gray t-shirt with Garfield’s face and the words “You are not immune to propaganda”. The pants are very short, red shorts with “propaganda” written on the rear. End ID.]

I definitely make spaghetti sauce extremely wrong but I’m not going to stop
Chop 1 onion and put it in a pot.
Add 1 or 2 cans of diced tomatoes. Whatever makes the ratio of onion look right.
Add a ridiculous amount of frozen peas. Peas should make up a notable portion of this sauce.
Add frozen corn also if you wanna be real fancy. If I have bacon, I’ll add that too, but I very rarely have bacon.
Cook on HIGH.
While sauce is cooking, grab the nearest bottle of mixed spices that isn’t obviously for desserts. Add some. How much? I dunno, enough that you feel like you’ve added seasoning so it’s technically cooking. (For me this is most often a mix called Moroccan, but it could be anything. I’ve reorganised my kitchen recently so tonight it was something called Pizza Topping.)
If you happen to have green herbs lying around, add those too. Whatever you have on hand that’s green.
Let the sauce boil on HIGH until all the water is gone. Stir occasionally so the saucepan will be easier to clean later. Serve on cooked spaghetti noodles with no cheese.
Today I added a new step called “while the sauce is cooking, duck out for 15 seconds to post about spaghetti sauce on Tumblr, then get distracted and forget you are cooking.” This adds a novel Extremely Burnt edge to the flavour profile.
I am not Italian, or of Italian descent by *any* stretch of the imagination.
I am also not one of those “cooking purists”, who believes that everything must be done in a specific/ traditional way (unless you are making a cooking video with the title “how to make x” in which case if you don’t specify mid video that your way is not traditional god help you).
I am a firm believer in “If it tastes good, then it is correct for you”.
Except in this case.
This hurts every cooking bone in my body. The latent ancestors in my soul. The judgmental elf in my brain just bit a cyanide capsule.
Why? The spices.
Using a different spice mix every time, based on what is ready at hand just … hurts.
Absolurl I deranged, Derin. Food crimes.
I don’t know what sweating the onions means
It means. It means you cook em a little in a pan with a bit of oil first.
A pan? How many dishes do you want me to have to wash here?
I mean you can also do it in the same pot you’re making the spaghetti sauce in! The important thing is the onions get a little cooked before the wet stuff goes in, so they’re not so wet and limp and boiled….
Honestly this depends entirely on whether I remember to chop an onion first or I find the can opener for the tomatoes first. The ingredients go in in whatever order they go in.
Derin who hurt you
A pack of wild chefs herded my mother off a cliff
Theres probably a hit out on you for this
What kind of stupid idiot would waste money assassinating someone who’s so clearly going to accidentally poison themself for free at some point
#op out here makin warm salsa#qqq
Well when you put it like that it sounds bad
You’ve never met me but I want you to know that you have described exactly how I make pasta sauce
We shall have a summer wedding
We won’t pass down our pasta sauce recipe to our children. They will just know
Fuck all you guys, if there was an old Italian recipe for “seasonal farm sauce” that was iconic in being defined by what greens and add-ins were available, you’d be talking about how shitty overly processed and regimented sauces were “inhuman” and “cooking is defined by human experimentation and freedom” and you’d be sharing pictures of a little Italian nonna making the best with what was available, and talking about how elitist those “four hour recipes” were and how “actually, the use of the raw onions in the sauce adds a piquant je ne se quois” but because this person is doing their best but doesn’t have the trappings of traditionalism, you’re shitting on their attempts. Well I for one LOVE cooking, and I LOVE experimentation and sometimes I do just throw shit in a pot and make something nice and I think a lot of this commentary is fucking elitist. You do you, OP, you have my vote (AND MY AXE)
There are two wolves inside me.
You’re absolutely right but I have experienced culinary elitism first-hand in real life and I sometimes take these things too seriously because culinary elitism acts as a gateway to industrial dependence but that shouldn’t cause me to wordvomit on a joke post, that’s absolutely true
Nah fight the good fight mate. The way people talk about Italian cooking like it’s some Ancient sacred Art and Italian people are all naturally averse to cooking the ‘wrong’ way like they’re a society of carbon copy high class chefs and grandmas with Ancient Cooking Wisdom without any tired farm wives trying to get some veggies into their kids is ridiculous.
