Legitimate question /srs
Should i use a separate account to reblog stuff or are you guys okay with the reblog spam? I know that im probably clogging everyone’s dash and that anything i actually post is immediately washed away which is 100% my fault
Cus i have have an unused art account that i can turn into a reblog dump and i can reblog like
“It’s digestible” has got to be the laziest goal I’ve ever seen achieved by a food product.
“It’s digestible”
“It’s digestible” is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who haven’t researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s:
The first-edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”[4] Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that “Its digestible” and “Crisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.” Similarly, in the 1978 sex manual The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the book’s index. Discussions of the shortening’s use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: “The lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.”[5] In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s. Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco. Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century.
Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated
I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works.
but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!
Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic.
Love the gay history, but i just wanna correct that the “it’s digestible” in the gay stuff was a reference to crisco’s tagline it had been using since 1911, the actual meaning of its digestible is because it’s main competition came from “enhanced” lards which were rendered pig fat mixed with non food thickeners that literally did not digest and caused people to basically just shit out pig cream, since crisco was veggie based the body digested it along with the food
And in case you were still wondering, @mudwerks.. Tuna Croquettes
This post is the opposite of net zero information. Not only did I learn several new facts about gay history but also we rounded our way back to the original question of the tag line and the mini obelisks.
If someone you know or love is having a meltdown, please do NOT
Tell us to “stop it”
Touch us without permission
Yell at us or talk over us
Ask for complicated tasks or answers
Leave us alone if it’s obvious we’re a danger to ourselves or others
Use restraints, either with your own body or with physical restraints
Panic
Shake us or manhandle us. We can hear you, we just can’t respond well
Remember, we are not being a problem; we’re having a problem!
So, things to do!
Do:
Make sure we’re safe
Remove all stimuli including turning off lights if possible, giving stim toys, noise cancelling headphones etc
Remove us from the situation if possible
Talk softly and offer alternative forms of communication if possible
Sit with us if safe to do so
Offer a stuffed animal or comfort item
Set up a meltdown guide with us so everyone is on the same page
Understand we will be unable to do much post-meltdown. Water, snacks and quiet is required.
Reassurance helps. Guilt often sets in post-meltdown.
A period of inactivity (known as a shutdown) often occurs right after a meltdown. We won’t respond or look at you, but we can hear you. Please let this happen naturally
Autistics please add on. What does and doesn’t help you?
