LMAO It's Xup-Zip plastic bags for me, but I DO need them a couple times a year as they're super good and fairly long lasting.

It's definitely a world building exercise and a slow burn BUT it's setting things up for an expansion beyond cannon texts/characters in the most organic and authentic way possible. I was super happy with it as a more in depth intro into just how VAST and varied the organization itself is.

As always, there's no time like the present to wear a crown of ancient bones, disappear into a mysterious fog, and become a reason the old forest north of town is considered haunted.

If chronically ill people don’t hide their pain and suffering they’re often considered dramatic or hysterical. If they do hide it then they must be faking or must not be sick at all. We seem to never be able to win…

Growing up w/ undiagnosed learning disorders and/or neurodivergent conditions is absolutely a complex traumatic stressor-- not because there is anything traumatic about having them, but because of the way the culture almost always misunderstands & mistreats nonconforming people.

If you're GenX or older and giving Millennials shit for being angry that their futures have been pissed away at every goddamn turn, you need to sit down and shut the fuck up.

How [not] to talk about autistic people: "Learning to recognize the features of autism instead of focusing on ‘deficits’ is crucial. No person deserves to be viewed as a collection of symptoms, yet that is the inevitable outcome of a deficit-based approach." www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/bef...

Many Type 2s are in deep denial about that; remission isn't permanent, and NO ONE can keep it perfect forever. Eventually whatever pancreatic function they had managed to keep WILL fail and insulin is the new normal.

HawthorneQueen @hawthornequeen.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

I've been Type 2 for 10 years already, genes plus the stress of University and the immigration process triggered that early and I did get to a remission point for a bit BUT it was always on a timer!

HawthorneQueen @hawthornequeen.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

It only took 10 years but it now looks like my pancreas finally died and I'm supposed to start insulin therapy next Tuesday. There's a slim chance it's temporary but I'm not holding my breath.

Too accurate: I got incredibly frustrated with DL's Spanish course and switched over to Italian for a while; there's decent root overlap so I don't think Spanish will atrophy too badly in the meantime.

Hi, this is just a casual reminder that it's totally OK not to tell strangers you hate things they like. You can just...not do it. You can do something else. As a bonus tidbit, you're also allowed to not have opinions on things if you don't know much about them. You can refrain from commenting.

If your brain’s super tired & you’re struggling to get going but you have stuff to do so don’t have the option to hibernate then hi, me too. This photo’s for your brain-if you pause on it for a few moments it’s likely to dial down your stress hormone & trigger dopamine release: a small mind hack 🐚

Rethinking "picky" eating: "Forcing autistic people to eat foods that are repulsive to them is just as abusive as forcing them to suppress their stimming, or any other of their traits and behaviors." By In the Loop About Neurodiversity: intheloopaboutneurodiversity.wordpress.com/2019/04/20/i...

Those of us who are deemed as “picky eaters” are often invalidated and stigmatized due to our diets and food choices. Parents with autistic children often say that they are “picky eater…

Also, We're on the fence about getting a bread-maker vs a stand-mixer atm which would solve this issue BUT then my level of disability becomes a factor! sometimes homemade isn't a good or reasonable option =/

I'm having someone over for an early dinner and want to make some lacto friendly garlicy bread to go with the spaghetti I'll be making and actually realized my mental image of THAT bread is an Italian style loaf. One you can typically get out of many US grocery bakeries. IDK, dudes, brains are weird

Wondering WHY the UK has seemingly ignored the glossy & springy crust, moist crumb Italian style bread products in favour of gum lacerating crust, densely dry crumb French kosh/bricks?!?!
