  • Addicts often commit other crimes, but the addiction is a function of the exposure to (and therefore trafficking of by other people) addictive substances. Cops actually love to hassle addicts, so long as they’re homeless addicts. It hasn’t solved any problems. But tackling drug trafficking is scary and dangerous because it turns out drugs are profitable and traffickers have loads of money and power.




  • flow as in menstrual flow, the literal volume of blood and mucosal lining from the uterus during a woman’s period

    flow also as in lyrical flow, the use of rhythm and articulation in a rapper’s delivery

    bar as in a measure of time in music, typically a four beat bar

    spitting referring to the rapid and rhythmic delivery of words to a beat

    If your [lyrical] flow is so heavy, why aren’t you [rapping]?










  • You’re right that it would be ideal to simply wash the dishes before they accumulate, but I often find myself in situations where I don’t want to do dishes before and after I cook. Moving the tub takes 5 seconds, washing the accumulated dishes might take 5 minutes, and if all you wanna do is rinse some berries and make oatmeal before you run out the door taking 5 minutes to do dishes might not be on the table.

    Ultimately the dish tub and keeping the sink clear is a strategy I learned to avoid domestic blockers. Regardless of what everyone else in the house is doing, I need to be able to use the sink without doing a bunch of extraneous labor first. And getting mad at them for being lazy or messy or whatever might feel good but it doesn’t solve my problem. There are edge benefits like the fact that I never find accidental mold in my sink, which is nice from a hygiene perspective, but mostly it’s that I want to be able to use the damn sink when I want to use the damn sink.





  • A dish tub is a tub in which you put your dishes. It’s like a bus tub but smaller. It’s useful because it stores dishes outside of the sink, and you can also use it to presoak. They’re honestly pretty killer if your apartment doesn’t come with a double sink. Someday I will have a triple sink, but for now I use the landlord special and a plastic tub.
