also please note that this scientist is in fact the retired man who invented the xbox.
oh fuck i listened to a podcast that was interviewing him and the process he went through to make this bread, ologies with allie ward
like he went through full on clean room levels of prep to ensure that this was 100% yeast from old egypt and had to bend over backwards to ensure everything involved was uncontaminated
This is just theft. Legitimately disgusting, the level of disrespect.
The money going into ‘humanitarian relief’ (however much doesn’t go into lining the pockets of US NGOs) will be spent making sure that the newly independent Afghanistan remains subservient to the US. With their own money, Afghanistan could buy tractors. With humanitarian aid, they will get grain.
They will have no agriculture, and therefore no economy, that could stand independent of the US.
i think this quote from thomas sankara is appropriate here
a little kid came up to the desk (it came up to his like, collarbone) and very seriously asked me about baby name books, because he wanted to help name his new sibling. i guided him to the shelf (there were only two book of names) and pointed out the differences between them, and after some serious contemplation he went, “I think I should take both, just in case.” So I gave him both and he thanked me and went on his way.
And I went back to my desk and screamed into my arm for like 45 years because HE WAS SO FUCKING ADORABLE AAAAA
i love when little kids come to the reference desk alone because they want to be perceived as an adult and so they come up to you and very seriously inquire “Where are your books about dolphins? ò__ó”
and of course you have to very seriously show them your collection of dolphin books while they nod carefully at your explanations and it’s SO CUTE!!! THEY’RE SO CUTE AAAH
