I'm reasonably sure that half the reason I like to add shichimi togarashi to my food is because I get to use these cute little spoons. (Another 25% perhaps because I like to say shichimi togarashi) #Food #Ingredients #Spices

God. Damn. This was an amazing reply. He didn’t back down, explicitly called out the Islamophobia of the “just asking questions,” and then flipped the guy’s bigotry back on himself. This may not change hearts and minds, but feel like it’s an answer that’ll motivate his own base.

It strikes me that the key to happiness is the gap you perceive between being "appropriately appreciated" (which never happens (especially for academics!)) and being "adequately appreciated". The difference either eats you, or you shrug it off. I'm working on it...
