This is the promotional and inspirational community for the (future) cook book . I'm hoping, that with the help of other feminists, to pen a satirical feminist cook book. It's gonna be good. For real.
When the project is complete, it will be for sale. Proceeds from the sale of the book will help fund a rape crisis center for the city of Jacksonville and other rape crisis facilities and educational groups around the country.
The community as it is right now is to share recipes, stories, and other tidbits that could possibly appear in the book. Everything posted here will be considered for the book. I don't play favorites and I want everyone to have a shot at making a difference.
Entries will be posted and community members contribute via comment. That keeps the drama down.

Rules are not for fools: 1.) Be respectful. This is so important. We are coming together to help communities stop rape and violence. It really ruins the message of this community if there's mud slingin' goin' on. In the wise words of Thumper: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all".
2.) In the event that you just can't help being a jerk, we operate on a three strike rule in regards to general ass-hatery2a. First offense is a warning. Second offense is a suspension for a week and disqualification of that week's recipe share. Third is a ban and all recipes submitted are not eligible for the book, no matter how delicious. 2a.) Ass-hatery takes on the form of personal attacks, arguing for millions of years just to get the last word, derailing discussions, being deliberately obtuse, using the tone argument, posting off topic, posting in closed submission posts, and posting recipes that do not go with the week's theme.
3.) Hate speech earns you a permanent ban and recipe disqualification. I do not play around with this and I make no exceptions. Ever.
4.) LABEL ALL POTENTIAL TRIGGERS. I don't care if it's with big letters, blinky words, or red font. LABEL ALWAYS.
5.) Never, under any circumstance, post graphic pictures that can be deemed NSFW or offensive. If you're not sure it can be posted, DON'T. POST. IT.
6.) Rape jokes earn you a permanent ban and recipe disqualification, as well as being put on some sort of black list of disgusting assholes. Making statements like "Such and such totally raped me!" fall under that rule. So do things like "This song raped my ears" etc. Nothing but rape is like rape. Do you even go here?
7.) No promotions of any kind in the comments. If you have something that needs a signal boost, that is in line with this community's values, message me and I'll post a signal boost. I may even set aside a special post once a week for signal boosts.
8.) Posting is not open to members at this time. One day, it may be. But, due to the nature of this community and how society views rape and treats women, I'm the only one who can post right now. It keeps the drama down, it keeps the spam down.
9.) Check your privilege. We all have some sort of privilege and one of the most important steps towards an equal existence is acknowledging those privileges society has granted us. It can be white privilege, cis privilege, hetero privilege, etc. Nearly everyone has some sort of privilege that we need to recognize. Having privilege doesn't make you a bad person, but denial and abuse of those privileges does.
10.) Never, ever blame a victim of sexual abuse or assault in here. If I catch one of you doing that in here so help me I will tear your weave up out of your head sweet heavens. If I even sense a comment is going towards victim blaming, you're out of here. Society does it enough. You will not do it in here.
Recipe Share Guidelines
All recipes must be in their own comment and include all necessary ingredients and steps. In the event that the recipe is a bit wordy and doesn't fit in the comments (I'm not sure what the word count on comments are?), REPLY TO YOUR OWN COMMENT WITH THE REST OF THE RECIPE. Do NOT make a new comment. Recipes should be your own. If they are not your own, you must provide a source so we can work with it to prevent copyright infringment. There are ways to alter recipes so they can be published without Martha Stewart's hired guns breaking down my door and breaking my knees with a 2 day old loaf of garlic bread. The recipes you post have to be something you've tried before. I could Google recipes until the cows came home, but I don't want to do that. I want this to be a community effort and I want your best recipes, recipes that are special to you. You're posting recipes with the (correct) assumption that we're going to be testing these out. Every single one. Make it good! Variations of a recipe are a-ok and totally encouraged! PLEASE do not deviate from the week's theme and do not go to old posts to post recipes that fit with the theme. Odds are, your recipe will fall under the very large umbrella of another category, so don't worry! A deadline is a deadline. Do not message me asking to post another recipe. It's not gonna happen. Just wait and see if it'll fall under another category, as it probably will! There is a chance that your favorite dish may not appear in the final product. That's okay. It's nothing personal. Please give us the story behind this recipe! What makes it special to you? What makes it perfect for this book? Give us some deetz. Please post recipes in English. I'm not trying to be xenophobic or exclusive, but because I don't speak any other language and don't have anyone to translate every recipe, I can only work with English recipes right now. That doesn't mean you can't post a recipe your wee Italian Nana wrote out for you! We love Nana and we want her in the book, too! Recipes can be posted in metric measurements, so don't worry if you have no damn clue how much a cup or ounce is, or if grams and milliliters are foreign to you! The book with have both!
~have fun~ y'all! I know that sounds silly and a bit trite, but I want this project to be enjoyable to all that participate. I want to build a community of people who want to stop rape, stop violence, stop abuse.
My E-Mail: In the event that you need a question answered ASAP, E-Mail me. I'm almost always near a computer or device where I can check my E-Mail. This includes instances where something may be triggering and I haven't labeled it yet, there's some ass-hatery goin' down, or there's a problem within the community.
