remember, the first syllable of success is suck.
Men Can Stop Rape’s new College Bystander Intervention campaign.
Actual good anti rape campaign posters! They don’t shame victims, they ask people to examine their own actions and inactions and protect their friends. And not in a gross excuse for chivalry either, just as people keeping people safe.
I like this.
Yep I agree. I also like how it’s not tying a man taking action around rape to some imaginary alpha male/hypermasculine sort of thing. Like a real man would do such and such.
Hey look! It’s an anti-rape campaign based on being a decent human being! In all seriousness, this is marvelous. I bolded the above for emphasis.
This is very good! The only qualm I have is that it keeps emphasizing that only women get raped (and that only men are rapists.)

Hey anybody wanna hang out with me for about 60 years? We could watch a lot of movies and sit around with cats and do nothing. We can celebrate our birthdays, vacuum the living room, and check the mail. We can have babies and raise them and watch them graduate and have babies of their own. We can even get Taco Bell. Just let me know when you wanna come over.

I love making turtle bread, but it’s always kind of sad when you have to cut it. I can never decide if I should go for the head or the tail.
I baked a massive loaf today (bottom right picture) but my family ate most of it, I only got two slices :(
# edit: By popular demand, I have added the recipe and instructions below:This recipe makes one big one, or you can divide it and make lots of little ones :)
400g All purpose flour (plain flour)
1 tbsp Quick active dry yeast
1 tbsp Sugar (this makes it quite sweet, reduce the sugar by half it you don’t want it to be too sweet)
1 tsp Salt
80 ml Milk
1 Medium egg
120 ml Water
1 tbsp Butter or margarine
Raisins or sultanas for the eyes
1.Mix the yeast, sugar, salt and half of the flour in a bowl and put to one side.
2. Heat the milk, water and butter in a saucepan until the butter is fully melted, keep stirring whilst you are heating it.
3. Pour the liquids into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix in an egg.
4. Mix in the rest of the flour gradually until a firm ball of dough forms. (You may not need all the flour or you may need a little extra, just add enough for the dough to be firm and not sticky. I usually use my hands once I start adding the rest of the flour because I find it easier. If you use your hands make sure you have a bowl of warm clean water nearby to rinse them in or you’ll end up with dough all over your kitchen and taps!)
5. Sprinkle some flour on your work surface to stop the dough sticking, and knead it until it is firm and springy (This takes about 3-5 minutes).
6. Wrap the dough in cling-film and set it aside for 15 minutes.
7. Line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.
8. Unwrap the dough and separate off parts of it and make a turtle shape on the baking tray (you can use my pictures for size reference, and I would recommend using a butter knife or palette knife to make the patterns on the shell. You need to cut them quite deep because the dough rises and puffs up in the oven).
9. Put the tray and turtle in a warm place and leave it to rise for 25 minutes (I have a 2 compartment oven so I usually put the bottom half on a low heat and leave the dough to rise in the top compartment without the heat on).
10. Take the turtle out of the warm place you left it (like it’s been hibernating >.< ) and re-cut the markings on the shell and insert raisins or sultanas for the eyes. (You need to re-cut the markings to get the best effect after baking).
11. Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
12. Place the tray in the centre of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes (for the large turtle, about 10-15 if you are making a few little ones), or until it is golden brown all over.
13. Spend about half an hour agonising over whether or not to start cutting from the head or tail.
~ This is particularly good bread to have toasted with heaps of strawberry jam <3
I hope you have fun!
Chocolate chip cookie cream pie. Need I say more? I think not.
Mimi, my grandmother, has made this for me over the years and it’s my absolute favorite. It’s no bake, no mess, no fuss. (Hey, even chefs like a break sometimes!) However, in it’s simplicity, it’s perfect. That is the only word for this, and anyone who’s had it knows. Creamy, crunchy, chocolatey delight. The best and most satisfying part is it tasted JUST like hers, a truly notable accomplishment in my opinion, cause we all know no one can cook like grandma can.
Now, you can keep it simple and buy a pre-made graham cracker crust. OR, you can make your own. It’s this easy: crush 8 oz of graham crackers into a bowl using your hands, with a standing mixer or hand mixer beat in 1/4 stick room temperature butter. Beat until most pieces are the same size and butter is fully incorporated. pack into a buttered, floured baking dish with your hands. Toss in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes until the crumbs are slightly toasted. Let cool completely before continuing..
All you’ll need is 1 container semi-defrosted whipped topping, such as Cool Whip. (I found an all-natural one at Whole Foods!) 1 package of your favorite chocolate chip cookies, and 1 C of milk. THATS IT.
Dip the cookies in the milk, quickly flip with a fork and layer in the dish. Top with whipped topping, repeat. I got two layers. Top with crumbled chocolate chip cookies, and refrigerate atleast 1 hour.
You’re welcome.
Wait a minute, did these come out of my kitchen? I briefly considered not posting these bite-sized corn dogs for a variety of lame reasons, but they were so GOOD! And so easy to make!
I don’t use mixes and I rarely buy hot dogs, but I kept seeing pictures of these online and they looked cute. A few of the people who live under this roof are crazy about corn dogs, so I thought I would give it a try. I bought my first ever box of Jiffy cornbread mix along with some Hebrew National hotdogs. After minimal preparation (no kidding) they came out of the oven, I dunked a few in some mustard and popped them in my mouth. Yum!! I could see turning to this recipe for an easy snack some Saturday night in front of the TV, along with a couple of beers.
Mini corn dogs - Here’s the lowdown:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Spray 24 mini muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray
- Mix up a box of Jiffy cornbread mix
- Cut hot dogs in quarters
- Fill muffin tins half-full with cornbread batter
- Push a piece of hotdog into batter
- Bake for about 8 minutes or until golden brown around the edges
- Open beer. Consume mini corn dogs with beer.
