Proud fat Neurodivergent enby femme, 37 Where my ADHD goes for its dopamine fix

Many places have a "forest that shouldn't be entered." Even people who are used to working in the mountains feel there is something there. They are suddenly overcome with fear and it becomes the custom to avoid certain places. These places exist. I don't know what is there, but I think they are real . . . The world is more than we can fathom with our five senses. The world doesn't exist just for humans. So I think it is all right to have such things. This is why I think it's a mistake to think about nature from the idea of efficiency, that forests should be preserved because they are essential for human beings . . . I am concerned, because for me the deep forest is connected in some way to the darkness deep in my heart. I feel that if it is erased, then the darkness inside my heart would also disappear, and my existence would grow shallow.

Hey all, while we're busy normalizing women with hairy legs, hairy armpits and bushy pubes, let's also normalize women with hairy upper lips, hairy chins, hairy side burns, hairy chests, and all the other places where women are supposedly magically hair-free.

"Oh yeah, we have an outdoor Corgi, he just gets so bored cooped up inside all day. He knows to stay off the road. Don't worry, he's way too smart for coyotes and the neighbor's know to look out when they drive past."

"Us? Oh, of *course* our Dachshund sleeps inside- we just let him out in the morning and make sure he comes back for dinner. He just does his own thing, no worries."

"Um, you know it's not humane to keep a chihuahua confined to an apartment? They're dogs, they're natural predators. They need to experience hunting behaviors or they get depressed. No we don't leash ours, he absolutely hates it, we just let him come and go whenever."

Yall get how fucking stupid that sounds, right? So stop letting your goddamn cats get eaten and attacked and infected and hit by cars

A toddler would probably love full unattended access to the neighborhood too, but we don't do that either, do we

It's 2026, "keep your damn pet in a house or in your view" should not be controversial

I had to go on a hunt for this but it was worth it. 100% agree

This young coyote was playing around in the dirt, digging and jumping around until he finally found the prize- a tissue or something 😂. It was almost dark, so a little challenging getting the shots. Los Angeles County, June 2026.

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

[willowcrowned]

tbh I’ve always found it very funny that Elrond is like “there’s no point bringing Glorfindel on the quest, even though he’s a balrog-slayer. You won’t need balrog-slayers” and then thirty pages later they run into a balrog

[willowcrowned]

#and they could’ve really benefited from having a glow in the dark elf in moria (via @emyn-arnens)

obsessed by the implication that glorfindel is bioluminescent

[willowcrowned]

#most elves aren’t #just glorfindel #dwarves on the other hand ARE bioluminescent #but it’s in a spectrum that elves and men and orcs can’t see in #hobbits can see in that spectrum fine #for better mushroom hunting #but they think it’s rude to point out that one of their party members is glowing #and so the dwarves have no idea the hobbits notice (via @mandaloriandy)

The first night Bilbo camped with the company he very nearly said something about it, but, having no idea what dwarves are and thinking it might be rude, he kept the observation to himself and decided that dwarves must be some kind of fungus. It improved his estimation of them most incredibly, and was, in fact, one of the observations he was most keen to pass on when he got back, seeing as how—even if it didn’t quite make him respectable, per se—it at least provided a valuable new addition to hobbits’ mushroom-lore, which no one (not even a certain few silver-spoon possessing relatives) could fault him for.

[mandaloriandy]

#anyways it’s common knowledge in the shire that dwarves are actually just a kind of mushroom#but no one says anything#because they think (seeing as how the dwarves haven’t brought it up themselves) it would be rude (via @willowcrowned)

My partner, reading this over my shoulder: “It never ceases to amaze me when Tolkein fans write meta that goes off in really bizarre directions”

Me: “These books are 70 years old, everything normal to say about them has been said; if you’re gonna say anything new about it, it’s gonna have to be weird”

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

Tumblr being the "piss on the poor" reading comprehension site makes sense when you realize that 79% of adults in the US are functionally illiterate. Same goes for Twitter and TikTok.

that's a real high number, sport. where'd you get it?

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hey anon

please tell me you didn't google "US literacy rates" and then make the funniest possible mistake one could make in that situation

looking. at you

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

On the one hand I kind of want 9pm pancakes but on the other hand the kitchen is so cold...

[foolsdiamond]

Nothing will warm the kitchen up quite like running the stove to make 9pm pancakes

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Yeah but then I'll eat too many (it's hard to proportion one person's worth of snack pancakes) and feel all dense and weird inside for the rest of the night.

[sinnahsaint]

Pancake refrigerate surprisingly well. You can cook too many and eat only enough.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I'm just air frying some sausages instead. This means I can leave the kitchen while they cook and I don't have to go for a walk in the dark and wet to pick a lemon from the orchard.

[eater-of-hopes-and-dreams]

Why would you need a lemon to make pancakes?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Gotta put something on the pancakes. I'm not gonna eat a plain dry pancake.

[mugknife]

...but lemon?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Yeah lemon juice and sugar

[queermarzipan]

i see you are experiencing the incomprehensible bluescreen some people have when informed of the Literal Best Pancake Topping Ever (my latvian friend had literally never heard of this before coming to ireland and for like 2 days around pancake tuesday was like "y'all are so fucking weird what even is this combo" about it being the default and beloved configuration here)

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

It's such a good combo that Americans make a whole drink out of it and people don't understand it on pancakes? It's like, THE classic pancake topping second only to maple syrup (which is way too sweet for me).

[noneofchar]

I’ve never heard of this, but it sounds incredible. Do you mix the sugar in with the lemon juice before pouring it on? Is it a lemon juice and powdered sugar on top situation? If you’re mixing the sugar and lemon juice before pouring on, is it enough sugar to make it thick like syrup, or is the texture closer to lemonade (American style like you referenced rather than the soda)?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I squeeze a wedge of lemon over the pancake like you do with chips and then sprinkle on a bit of sugar to take the edge off the sourness of the lemon. You can butter them first or not depending on moisture preference and how much you want the lemon to soak in.

[admiral-crow-is-watching]

Is this the time to share that I grate cheddar cheese into my pancake mix?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

It is never the time to share such horrifying truths

[zombieelmyra]

Wait. Back up. What do you mean, "like you do with chips"?!

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

It's what the lemon is for. You squeeze if over the fish and chips. Or if you're like me and don't like fish, just the chips.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#yank alert#they probs thought you meant Crisps

Confusingly, we also call those chips

[darkenedyeastextract]

also the sugar is commonly icing sugar so it sprinkles properly but I suspect Derin’s using table sugar.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Do I seem like the sort of person whose life is together enough to own more than one type of sugar

[attacus-atlas-the-moth]

YOU ARE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR. that seems like the kinda person to own more than one type of sugar????????

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Writers are not known for high incomes or for generally having our lives together.

"But what about -- " whoever you are thinking of is Spiders Georg. We're disasters, as a group.

[kittenwriter]

I generally have multiple types of sugar and am technically a published author, but I'm also not trying to make a living off the writing, as one can't do that with short stories anymore.

It doesn't make me any less of a disaster, though; I'm just the type of disaster who owns more than 100 cookbooks.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I own one type of sugar, a coffee grinder, and a jar of molasses. So I can make most types of sugar as needed if I happen to be bothered. Which I usually don't.

If a recipe wants raw sugar it can get fucked.

[attacus-atlas-the-moth]

why is the coffee grinder involved here. do you grind molasses to make brown sugar. is that how? inch er esting.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Molasses is a liquid. You grind plain sugar to make caster sugar.

[sayahastoomanyblogs]

Are we just not gonna talk abt the cheddar cheese pancakes?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Correct, we're gonna gloss right on past.

[tryingandfailingandlearning]

I love how you call high-income writers Spiders Georg instead of. you know. an outlier.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

As a writer, I know my audience.
