“bread wetness” scale with a baguette on one side, a mug of beer on the other, and spaghetti right in the middle
I absolutely love this idea! The “bread wetness” scale with a baguette, a mug of beer, and spaghetti is so creative and fun.
It’s great to have a visual reference for different levels of moisture in bread, and the inclusion of the beer and spaghetti really adds a sense of humor to the scale.
I can already imagine using this scale to rate different types of bread, from super crusty baguettes to soft and fluffy dinner rolls. And who wouldn’t want to pair their bread with a mug of beer or a bowl of spaghetti?
Overall, I think this “bread wetness” scale is a brilliant idea that will definitely add some fun to any bread-related discussion. Kudos to the creator for their creativity and humor!
The company isn’t boasting about using cheap/unpaid/forced penal labor.
It’s a project offering voluntary employment opportunities with fair trade wages to incarcerated women, allowing them to amass decent savings and avoid recidivism (i.e., having to return to prostitution, drug muling, and the other poverty-related crimes as soon as their sentences are up, because they’re right back in poverty where they started).
No, it’s not the all-or-nothing Tumblr justice solution™ of magically abolishing the PIC overnight, but it’s a significant improvement over the literal slave labor most corporations employ, while raking in the entirety of a prisoner’s surplus and setting them up for recidivism.
Y'all….this isn’t slave labor the way the vast majority of prusin labor is. They have a 30 hour work week and pay their employees a LIVING WAGE. Also the company was founded after talking to women in prison about their lives and needs
We have very similar backgrounds. We’re both children of Latin immigrants, so there’s sort of a cultural familiarity, then at the same time we’re both actors. We have the same dreams. It’s something very special because it can be a lonely journey when you’re out there going after — it sounds corny, but going after your dreams, and to find family along the way.
thinking of when I had a dream I was an aging white father of 3 kids and my weeping wife was begging me to not leave (I don’t know why I was leaving her) and as I walked out the front door of our suburban home I turned around in my khakis and said “I’m sorry, but I have to go now and….I’m never coming back. I love you” and then woke up like
Serious explanation here: she’s teaching them the instinct of being alert around enclosure openings! For example, if these were wild cats living in a bush, they’d run the risk of a larger predator running up to the opening and grabbing one of them. The mother cat is also only bapping them lightly without claws, so those slaps are more of an annoyance meant to get the kittens’ attention, and to teach them to keep their eyes out for potential threats.
