Woman Shares Powerful Twitter Thread On Prison Visit Struggles


Liliana Segura's moving Twitter thread shines light on the struggles experienced by folks that try to set up prison visits to see loved ones. It's a bit of a nightmare, to say the least.

I was wrong. 3/ 3 27 262 3.9K Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 The first thing we saw upon arriving was an older woman walking back to her car, carrying her visitation form.

Not only did they refuse to allow her in, she was banned from visitation for 30 days. 5/ 14 27 494 5K Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 We were stunned-but she seemed more resigned than surprised. She told us to make sure we had no more than $20 in quarters. Also, no earrings, she reminded us-and no necklace

I could feel the breath and everything and literally just froze for a few seconds, and ran upstairs telling myself "what the fuck" repeatedly. It has messed with me to this day.

He was stuck on the other side of the chain link fence because the hole was at a steep angle and he couldn't squeeze back through. I lifted the fence up enough for him to get back through. The next day I got home and the yard was eerily quiet. He'd usually run up to greet me. I thought of the dream and walked strai

Tumblr Thread: Significance Of Ratatouille's Chef Boyardee Scene


Pretty dang awesome that the movie incorporated an actual part of history. Many folks out there would otherwise assume that Chef Boyardee was no more than a historical mascot. As we now know, that is definitely not the case.

Text - upontheshelfreviews There's a hidden level of brilliance in this moment: Chef Boyardee is known today for his cheap out-of-the-can pasta, but in his native Italy he was a renowned expert chef. He was reduced to the face of microwaveable eateries after his death. Sound like anyone else from this movie?

Text - ketchuprocket Chef Ettore Boiardi, known today as Chef Hector Boyardee, was a key player in keeping poverty struck families fed for a low price, before he ever came out with the canned pasta line. He would jar his sauce in milk bottles and provide bags of dry noodles for families in Cleveland, Ohio's Little Italy sector. It was during the Depression, and pasta could be made in large portions at a low cost. This was the start of his venture. After years of success, he eventually opened his

Text - jabberwockypie I had thought he was a fictionalized mascot, like Aunt Jemima or Betty Crocker, but this is really interesting. "Proud of his Italian heritage, Boiardi sold his products under the brand name Chef Boy-Ar-Dee so that his American customers could pronounce his name properly." And if you have a name that isn't "standard" in America, that is a Mood. Source: queentianas 121,411 notes
