anthony bourdain was literally the reason I started in the food industry, and a lot of what I learned is how hard, how grueling those jobs are. so many cooks are depressed, in constant pain, never able to see their families and friends because of the long, odd hours. he knew that, he was there, and he was an advocate for marginalized people both in and out of the restaurant industry.
if you’ve ever heard of xi'an famous foods, it’s because he visited a tiny stall in a flushing strip mall that he loved and he put its owner front and center, allowing them to grow exponentially in the course of a few years. he treated asian cuisine with respect and understanding, was always curious and never condescending. he never overstepped the boundaries of the hospitality he was offered. he’s the only white chef I’ve ever seen who truly walked the walk, and I’m genuinely gonna miss him. the food industry is a less honest, less righteous place without tony bourdain in it.
Anthony Bourdain was still one of the ONLY globally famous chefs who gave props to the Latinx communities’ role in the American food industry. He also was very vocal about the systemic undervaluing of “ethnic” foods like Mexican and Chinese cuisines.
oh my god this would have made my life so much easier
My brother just said to hook these up to generators. Power the school by small children.
going against my no-reblog policy because this can help in so many ways from learning disorders to obesity
Shit would motivate me to stay awake too
imagine getting a really hard test and everyone just starts stressing out so for the next 45 minutes or so the only noise you can hear is rapid and panicked peddling.
I want to be really clear about something: Planned Parenthood has done more to prevent abortion than the pro-life movement ever has.
Yup, preventing abortion by giving abortions. Makes sense!
No you fucking crusty nutsack giving people the education and the tools to not become pregnant in the first fucking place
One of my Christian friends made a Facebook post about how PP gave her tons of resources when she was trying to get pregnant and people were actually genuinely shocked that they provided such resources; they had fully bought into the idea that PP is just an “abortion factory”. The misinformation that’s been spread about PP is unreal.
gosh it’s almost like Planned Parenthood will help you plan for parenthood
The original post only has US helplines. I’ve added UK helplines underneath. It would be great if people could add numbers from everywhere in the world.
Do you ever wonder how many stories have been told about you? I don’t mean rumors or gossip. A story like “ one time I was at the mall and this girl dropped her hotdog but she picked it up and ate it” what if I’m that girl??how many times have people seen me do something I thought no one saw and is now being used as an ice breaker at a family dinner? Hmmmmmm?!???!
one time i was in this historical park in new york and i was climbing a tree in order to get a good photo and i fell out just as a family was walking past…two years later i ran into the mom at stop&shop and she gasped and said “oh my god, tree girl?” and i’ve never been the same since
