🌈 Happy Pride!

This past wednesday, I found my new irl name that represents me as me.

I'm euphoric.

It's crazy how good and happy and right I feel after so long without it.

Anyways, I've been working on this sygil over the last few days to create and have something that I feel represents me truthfully. So, 20+ layers and multiple versions later and this is the result.

Stay safe,

Love Kaden

I got denied for disability after waiting 2 ½ years for a response and the wording in the letter pissed me off. So I wrote a poem about it.

Poem transcript under the cut

You are not disabled under our rules.

Your body may be in constant pain. 

Your back may bend in all the wrong ways and your muscles may feel like sunburned taffy in a press. 

You may be too dizzy to stand or sit for more than a few minutes at a time. 

You may have chronic migraines and chronic fatigue and a chronic sadness from a childhood lacking love. 

You may have a dysfunctional thyroid and dysautonomia. 

You may have to sleep more than you are awake and you may have to use a wheelchair or cane any time you are able to leave the house. 

But aren’t you aware the medications you take to make your pain more bearable can also make you sleepier? 

Aren’t you aware that everyone wants an excuse to not do the dishes and your extreme back pain is laughable? 

Aren’t you aware that your life is expendable? 

Aren’t you aware that we don’t care about you at all? 

You are able to work some; you are able to work more. 

Just adapt. 

Just push yourself more. 

Just break your body more.

Just be a good little number on a screen and stop screaming as we churn you through the system and beat you to a pulp. 

This is because you are not disabled under our rule.

TransNeutral Flags (made to be similar to the transfem/transmasc flag)

"Transneutral is a term used to describe a transgender individual who identifies fully or partially as a neutral, abinary, or unaligned gender. It can be considered umbrella term for individuals who transition to a neutral identity.

Transneutral is sometimes used, not as a gender identity, but as a way to describe anyone who undergoes a medical transition process that is not fully transmasculine or fully transfeminine- either through surgery, hormone replacement therapy, or other methods. Under this definition, individuals who undergo transition to attempt to appear more neutral would be considered transneutral, regardless of their actual gender identity."

(Made by Me)

Reblog if you:

- Are transneutral

- Support transneutral people

- Want transneutrals to be included when people discuss transfemmes and transmascs, and be mentioned more in general

- Just really like animals :3

Castle vs Tangled parallels

Inspired by this post (x)

[lowspoonsfood]

Sometimes on days when I’m particularly brain foggy, I can’t be bothered to decide on what to eat, or come up with balanced meal choices. Especially at the end of the day, when decision fatigue is at its highest. So I made a Google Sheet that randomly generates meal ideas based on what I usually have in my kitchen. I saved a shortcut to the webpage on my desktop so it’s quick to open. (Here’s a template, which you can edit by saving a copy: tinyurl.com/mealrandomizer) The spreadsheet has two parts: (1) a list of ingredients organized by food group, and (2) magical Excel formulas that pluck one or two ingredients from each food group to give you a “recipe”– which is really just a combo of foods that cover your desired food groups. You can tweak the ingredient list to fit your needs: for example, I’ve set up the recipe to provide two veggie suggestions with every recipe, I haven’t listed olives because I hate them, I can easily make it vegetarian, etc. I’ve generated some laughable suggestions (how about waffles, cucumber, bacon, + peanut sauce….), but because I’m not beholden to a spreadsheet, I just chuckle and click again. I’ve found it a helpful guideline / source for ideas, so thought I’d share <3

cold peanut noodles!

amounts of everything are very subjective- make it as spicy or as peanut-y or filling as you want! this takes me about 6 minutes to make, involves heat and minimal stirring, and can be made with just a kettle or microwave. as its written here, it’s also gluten free and vegan you need: - one serving of noodles (rice noodles, ramen, etc) - some peanut butter, any type - hot water - soy sauce - powdered ginger - powdered something-spicy (anything from cayenne to black pepper, to taste) - honey, sugar, or similar optional but recommended: green onions, bean sprouts, any veg or protein steps: 1. cook noodles. set aside some (~1 tablespoon) of the hot water for later (or boil some more water in a kettle or pot). 2. rinse cooked noodles in cold water and set aside. 3. mix the hot water with a large spoonful (~2-3 tablespoons) of peanut butter, so that the peanut butter dissolves and becomes pour-able. 4. add powdered ginger, spice, honey, and soy sauce to the peanut butter, all to taste. i like mine very flavorful, so i use two shakes of cayenne, 3-4 shakes of ginger, 0.5 tsp honey, and approx. 0.5-1 teaspoon soy sauce (for a lighter version, begin with about half of all amounts and alter to taste) 5. chop your green onion and any veg or protein. for a single cake of ramen, a handful of toppings is enough. 6. mix your noodles, sauce, and toppings, and enjoy!

I have a pretty low spoons recipe that's a staple in Iranian breakfasts: noon-paneer, which literally translates to bread-cheese. Basically you rip a piece of pita (or any flat bread, really) to be bite sized, put some cheese inside (try it with feta or cream cheese), and eat it. Repeat until full.

You can eat it just like that, but there are so many options for your third ingredient: fresh herbs, honey, walnuts, jam, dates, fried eggs, tomato, even watermelon! It works with both sweet and savory flavors, so its easy to change it up and keep it interesting. If you have access to nondairy cheese, it can be vegan too.

I'm sure the idea of bread and cheese isn't super unique, but sometimes I find that making a whole sandwich can be exhausting. It's just easier for me to make a bunch of little portions, if that makes sense.

The text in this post is as follows: 16 Lunchbox ideas that aren’t sandwiches

Parfait Lunchbox:

This one may seem more like breakfast, which means it is doubly awesome because it can serve for a lunch or breakfast on the go. This particular lunchbox is my daughter’s favorite. She is a huge fan of parfaits, and I am a huge fan of keeping her happy. I pre-portioned out the granola, coconut, and nuts, and have them all in a drawer so she can assemble these herself too! Just add yogurt and berries.

4 ounce yogurt cup

2 ounces granola

2 ounces roasted almonds

2 ounces blueberries

2 ounces raspberries

2 ounces coconut flakes

The Cheese Plate Lunchbox:

One of my favorite things to eat is a cheese plate, so why not make one into a lunchbox? I am stocking my fridge with these little cheese plates to go so I can enjoy them for lunches and snacks myself, not just send them off to school with my kids. It offers protein, carbs, and all kinds of delicious fruits, so it is both filling and nutritious.

Chunk of brie

Chunk of gouda

Chunk of sarvecchino

Apple slices

Dried fruit (apricots)

Pretzel crisps

Grapes (red and green)

Almond, roasted and salted

The Chicken Salad Lunchbox:

Chicken salad is an awesome lunch item, and lucky for me, I can buy it already made and portioned into these perfect 4 ounce cups from Costco. This is a fun and filling option that doesn’t take a ton of work for me, and adds a nice variety. Pair it with a croissant or crackers, fruit and veggies.

Chicken Salad Cup

Grapes

Carrots

Wheat Crackers

The Wannabe Cheeseburger:

My husband loves cheeseburgers for lunch, so I thought it would be fun to make a kind of deconstructed burger, and offer it as a lunch option. So instead of a burger patty it is roast beef, then all the fun components of a regular cheeseburger meal. Minus the chips/fries. So feel free to add a bag of potato chips to this one to make it even more fun!

Roast beef

Slider bun

Cheese stick

Olives

Grape tomatoes

Dill pickles

Protein Lunchbox:

Have you seen the protein boxes at Starbucks? I wanted to have something like that in my fridge for days when I am super busy, and need sustenance. And guess what? My kids liked them too. So they definitely made the list for lunchbox options. This one is delicious, but of course, feel free to add your favorite form of protein.

Black forrest ham

Roast beef

Cheese chunks

Hard boiled egg

Cashews

Almonds

Hummus

The All American:

Of all the lunchbox ideas, this one is the worst! It is not the healthiest of the options, which is probably why it is one of my kid’s favorites. It is a fun option though, and a great go to when I don’t have time to make anything, as most of it can be purchased, and just assembled.

Pretzel sticks

Applesauce

Cheese stick

Trail mix

Granola bar

Mandarin orange cup

The Apple Sandwich Lunchbox:

Have you ever had an apple sandwich? It is basically slices of apple with peanut butter spread over the slice, and topped with fun things like mini chocolate chips, granola, and nuts. I loved the idea, and thought it would be fun to make it for my kids. For their lunches I would pre-slice the apple into rounds, and stick a clean rubber band around it so that it doesn’t brown during the day while it is in their lunchbox. Then let them assemble as they see fit.

Apple

Peanut butter

Coconut

Granola

Dried fruit

Mini chocolate chips

Roasted, salted nuts

Blueberry Bagel Lunchbox:

My kids are big fans of breakfast foods, so incorporating them into the lunchbox ideas was a given. And this one is a particular favorite because it is filling and flavorful. You could pre-toast the bagel if you wanted, but I just pre-slice it to make it easy for the kids at lunch time.

Blueberry bagel

Whipped cream cheese

Grapes

Berry medley

Chicken Salad Fruit and Veggie Lunch Box:

Okay, I admit it, this one is a little boring, at leas the name, but it is one of my favorites because it is filling and tasty, and hits all the right notes. It offers a great chicken salad to be eaten with pretzel crisps, but also cucumber slices, fruit, and nuts.

4 ounce chicken salad

Cucumber slices

Nectarine

Roasted almonds

Pretzel crisps

Deconstructed Pizza Lunchbox:

Who doesn’t love a good slice of pepperoni pizza? And while many argue cold pizza is fine, it isn’t my favorite, but I love the various components, and they make a lunch box my kids can’t get enough of.

Pepperoni

Cheese chunks

Olives

Grape tomatoes

Wheat crackers

Frogs on a Log Lunchbox:

As a kid there was nothing I liked more than a stick of celery slathered in peanut butter and topped with “frog” raisins. But these are given a slight upgrade. They offer delicious nut butter (choose your favorite), whipped cream cheese, and more! You will love this one.

Nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew, you pick)

Whipped cream cheese

Dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, etc.)

Roasted nuts

Celery sticks

The Fruit Salad:

Fruit salad is always a fun thing to eat, especially when it has a fun dressing. This embodies that idea, in lunchbox form. Fruit and yogurt, and combine to make a fruit lover’s dream. Feel free to add in some nuts, chia seed, hemp, or something else if you want more heft. This is another one of those great for breakfast options!

Yogurt

Apple slices

Grapes

Berries

Homemade Lunchables Lunchbox:

Please tell me I am not the only one whose kids beg for lunchables? Like seriously! So I decided to make my own so they have quality cheese, great quality deli meats, a fun treat, and fresh fruit.

Ritz crackers

Colby jack and provolone cheese slices

Black forrest ham

2 ounce cup of M&M’s

Grapes or fruit of choice

The Hummus Dipper Lunchbox

Hummus is such an awesome lunchbox addition, especially when you can add tons of great dippers. And what better way to increase veggie intake? This is another one I like to make extras of so I have nutritious snack options at the tip of my fingers.

Sabra hummus cup

Celery

Cucumber

Carrot sticks

Pita chips

Green olives

The Mediterranean Lunchbox:

Speaking of my love of hummus… this lunchbox is amazing. It offers all the fun flavors of the Mediterranean in a great snackable or lunchbox form! Yet another one I make extras of for me!

Pita or mini naan

Roasted chick peas

Green olives

Sabra hummus

Cucumber

Sugar snap peas

Grape tomatoes

The Nacho Lunchbox:

Nachos are so tricky for lunch boxes, especially if you don’t have to have a (way) to heat up your cheese, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy all the yummy flavors of a good plate of nachos. This one is a kid and husband favorite!

Tortilla chips

Guacamole cup

Pickled jalapenos

Salsa

Olives

Tomatoes

Cheese stick
