This Minneapolis chef started her own business after being overlooked for a decade. Here, she shares her experiences and says, 'Change is at a blink of the eye.'

When I first started, I wanted to be a culture changer. The first question [people ask] is: “Oh, what do you make, what do you specialize in?” I don’t have a specialty cuisine. I specialize in reaching as many cultures and as many types of cuisine that I’ve learned over time [as possible]. I try to find ways to utilize ingredients that aren’t as popular to keep that healthy food cycle working.

“I’ve experienced discrimination the entire time, whether it was because I was a woman or a Black woman.” It took me 10 years to make [more than] $10 an hour. And I was a single mom the whole time ― I had little babies when I started. It was really important for me to work my way up through promotions, and when I felt that I had the leadership and understanding of how that worked, I was always overlooked for those promotions. I was always pushed toward these lower-paid positions. So I’ve experienced discrimination the entire time, whether it was because I was a woman or a Black woman.

I think it’s blatant racism in that this industry has upheld systemic racism and segregation [for so long]. You can walk into a restaurant and see front of house, back of the house, how it’s racially made up. You can see the executive chefs and how they’re made up. Here we are in 2020, finding out that you may not intentionally put the Black person as the busboy or dishwasher, but you did.

Researchers Find Crows Smart Enough Not To Let On How Smart They Really AreSEATTLE—Concluding that the species is far more advanced than it pretends to be, researchers at the University of Washington have found that crows are smart enough not to let on how smart they really are, according to a study published Thursday in the Journal Of Field Ornithology. “After closely examining a variety of different crows over a series of months, we have concluded that their brains are so highly developed that they are actually able to play dumb,” said biologist Eugene Russo, adding that members of the Corvus genus have the cognitive capacities required to play their cards close to their chest and keep mum when it suits their interests, extraordinary behaviors not witnessed in any of their fellow bird species. “Beyond their well-known abilities to use tools and recognize faces, we cannot be certain what advanced skills they may be hiding, given that they can choose to act completely clueless and dimwitted in any situation they wish. It’s hard to get a read on crows. We haven’t even tried to place them on the avian IQ scale, because they probably have all kinds of street smarts that we don’t know about and that our metrics wouldn’t be able to account for anyway.” Russo went on to state that emus, however, are just as goddamn stupid as they appear to be. Lol. A million reasons to love The Onion. HLHPattison Caw. I know some crows personally. It's like being on good terms with the president of the local motorcycle club.

Bella Thorne's Bank-Robber Influencer Film Infamous Is Just Absurd EnoughThe premise of Bella Thorne’s latest film, Infamous, could’ve made for a good psychological thriller, even if it feels so familiar: Thorne is Arielle, a teenage waitress in a tiny Floridan town (or as she dubs it, “the Redneck Rivera”) who wants to be famous. She’s saving up to make it to Hollywood, but of course, things go awry and she finds herself spiraling into a life of crime. Arielle does eventually find fame, but it’s nontraditional: she live-streams every armed robbery she commits, updating a perpetually growing audience on her exploits.
