hi! in regards to your dilemma about what oil to use, the rule of thumb i've found is to avoid using seed oil unless its wood-pressed and/or cold-pressed, which unfortunately is more expensive. usually olive oils is a safe one, since it comes from the 'fruit' for a lack of a better word.
also ghee is great as a cooking medium, if you're not vegan! a lot of indian stores usuallly sell them at better prices than mainstream supermarkets.
good luck for healthy eating!
Thanks! Yeah I've always used a ton of olive oil in cold preparation & low heat cooking, but I only recently read that all seed oils are bad. I used to use canola oil in cooking quite a lot but now I use butter, ghee, olive oil & occasionally avocado oil. The main problem is that seed oils are in sooo much store bought stuff that I didn't even realize was unhealthy and ultraprocessed. They really add it to fucking everything it's so annoying! Even a lot of plant based milks which I thought were healthy are full of disgusting crap so I'm sticking to dairy milk now.

I left my "Loving Reaper" book out when I went to pick up my 13yo niece from play practice, and my 9yo niece said she opened it to a random page and was like, "no," and then shut it again.

Vent Post About Bones S4E4 (will contain mild spoilers)
Okay. So my first complaint is that when Robbie is saying that he was thinking about being a veterinarian and his dad said it would be a good fallback if (human) med school didn't work out. No. That's not how this works. Vet school is /way/ longer than human med school. If the medical path is not for you, then you're not likely to put /more/ time and money and energy into an adjacent, and arguably much harder path (due to the number of species one has to work with compared with the 1 of human medicine).
Secondly, Ceasar Millan. I don't doubt that he loves dogs, but the scandals he's been involved in made those scenes /really/ awkward. Like, yeah the episode was filmed before the scandals, but watching them afterwards makes it seem like very poor taste. (For those unaware, the scandals involve his dog attacking a young girl and him using outdated theories based on the disproven wolf dominance thing. Using those theories, he justifies being physical with the dogs (such as doing "alpha rolls") to show them he's their alpha and superior. Seeing as the show is dealing with dogs trained to be aggressive for dogfighting... Yeah. Not exactly a great combination.)
Lastly, there is /no/ way that those dogs would've calmed down that fast. Like, sure Ripley was a nice dog, but he had a kind home prior to his dogfighting career. People involved with dogfighting want the dogs to be /mean/. I know this as someone I know has a dog who was rescued from people trying to force him into dogfighting and tried to make him mean (it just traumatized the poor sweetie). They want those dogs in a /frenzy/ when they go in the ring.
Dogs don't naturally tear each other apart. They have to be trained to do it. Thus, being confronted by strangers, these dogs would've been heavily abused and traumatized and would've been on high alert against any further pain. While they might be aggressive in a mean way, fear aggression certainly would've been rampant. It would've taken much more than just a "Shh" for them to stop barking and lay down. It's like telling a child in the middle of a meltdown "Shh" and expecting them to immediately stop crying and calm down.
I'm not saying that it wouldn't /eventually/ work, but those dogs would've needed more than that to feel comfortable and safe enough to calm down.
Disclaimer: I am not a dog behaviorist, so this is mostly based on what I've observed of dogs and my own interpretation of how their minds would process their situation

this is going to sound simplistic + i promise you it's not: stop following people whose entire schtick is being cruel or fighting with others online. even if the ppl deserve it! even if it's not a ~problematic~ cruelty! even if you agree with all of that blog's opinions!
it's one thing if someone snaps back when provoked or posts the occasional "get a load of this guy". nobody needs to play up respectability for people who haven't given them respect in return. but if someone's online identity centers around being needlessly mean for laughs + they're constantly seeking out socially acceptable, easy targets for petty cruelty, that's a red flag. there's a huge difference between not taking shit/cracking a joke + mocking others as your several-hours-a-day hobby.
especially if, when they are inevitably in the wrong + mocking someone mercilessly to their 50k followers over something petty goes south (shocking!), they become extremely defensive or block everyone or play the victim or dismiss it as "well, how was i supposed to know they were autistic? i'm autistic + i don't meow in public" or whatever.
this isn't a "well i knew all along" post bcuz nobody should be shamed for being in the dark about something like this but many of the popular bloggers who have later been exposed for serious harassment or abuse should not have shocked us. if someone's blog is 90% shit like "you should light yourself on fire because you watch x anime" or "look at this so-called lesbian bitch + her ugly fucking boyfriend at a kink convention- it's giving drowned rats", should it really shock you that they are also being cruel or abusive in less internet-acceptable ways? if they've already shown you that they get a such a thrill out of being vicious that they do it daily + are regularly rewarded with thousands of followers?

You'll feed all the people's parking meters
You encourage the eating of ice cream
And you would somersault in sand ...
You talk to loners
You ask "how's your week?"
You give love to all
...
You're obsessed with hiding
The sticks and stones
And feel the unknown
You feel like home
You feel like home
You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me home?
Yeah, you were sweet & you were sound
Can you save me?
...
You would share your last jelly bean
And you would somersault in sand ...
You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me home?
Yeah, you were sweet & you were sound
You save me
...
See I have tried
You still bring me around & around & around
...
You brought me around
...
