forgive the version of you that didn’t know any better
forgive the version of yourself that knew better but did it anyway. forgive every version of yourself. we are constantly learning from our mistakes.
forgive the version of you that didn’t know what to do and could not have foreseen what the right choice was, if there even was one. forgive the version of you that made a choice and regretted it.
crossposting from bsky - glad I stopped using spotify when I did and that I unlinked it from my discord, but still

Link Cleaner is a web app for removing tracking code, search parameters, and other junk from URL links.
I dunno if the above about Spoitfy is fully verifiable or has changed recently but I'm plugging link cleaner again. It does this job for you and perhaps more effectively and only takes like 2 seconds! It lets you test the link and gives sharing options and even do multiple links at once! I have made this website my best friend and if this stuff concerns you you should too
people are soooo mean to the color yellow and it hurts my heart like u mean the color of the sun!?!? daffodils and buttercups and dandelions!? canary feathers and fresh butter and the warm glow of light and the trees in autumn???? for shame. joyless.
I think one of the biggest misconceptions about fatigue is that it's just a more extreme version of tiredness. Fatigue and tiredness are not the same thing. The biggest difference between them is that tiredness goes away if you rest, but fatigue doesn't. When you suffer from fatigue, your body keeps draining you even while you're lying down or sleeping. It's like a leak's been opened up somewhere and your energy keeps draining away no matter what you do. All you can do is wait and hope that at some point the flow will stop.
hey jsyk while hellofresh is dummy expensive and i wouldn’t reccomend it if you already know how to cook (if you’re a beginner like i was when i had it for 3 months, then it’s worth it), you should know that ALL OF THEIR RECIPES are free on their website and they all fuck hard
i will say that all the cooking instructions for veggies are pretty much the same (season with salt + pepper and roast on the top oven rack at 425F), but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
that being said, it also introduced me to methods i wasn’t at all expecting. i would have never thought to use cream cheese in my meat sauce, and now all my friends are constantly asking me to make my special rigatoni.
happy cheffin! :)
I am a person who uses Hello Fresh for realsies because it is a bit cheaper than groceries here and definitely cheaper than takeout, but we also remake the recipes when we want a specific one and don't want to wait for it to come around in the rotation again, and therefore I know The Secret Translations of Proprietary Ingredients:
"Cream sauce base" = make a roux, add milk according to how much cream sauce base you're supposed to have (ex: 4 oz cream sauce base = 4 oz milk)
"1 packet stock concentrate" = either one tablespoon Better than Bullion or, if you want to be really accurate, Savory Choice Broth Concentrate packets are available on Amazon and allegedly that's what they use
"Italian Heat Spice"/"Blackening Spice"/"Fry Seasoning"/etc.: I promise you someone on Reddit has figured out what spices they use and in what proportions for each mix, if it's not just a straight up branded mix (like McCormick Grill Mates Brown Sugar Bourbon spice mix)
"Roasted Garlic Herb Butter" (and other compound butters, like truffle butter) = they're literally Epicurean branded butters, they do not hide this, you can buy them online
"Sweet Soy Glaze"/"Ponzu sauce"/"Hoisin sauce" = literally Kikkoman brand condiments: they don't hide that, either
"Sweet Thai chili sauce" = any sweet Thai chili sauce from the grocery store will do. We use Blue Dragon or Taste of Thai because that's what we can get in our grocery store.
blue apron also has recipes on their website! i use it regularly to steal ideas when meal planning for the week.

People talking abt autism like its a set of quirky silly traits and not an often debilitating neurological disorder genuinely drives me up a wall, especially as someone who's support needs are higher.
"I want a gf with autism :3" ok are you prepared to help them with hygiene tasks? Are you gonna help them with laundry and cleaning their room? Are you gonna be patient with them when they're using AAC? Will you comfort them through meltdowns? Or do you just want a gf who talks to you about dinosaurs and has a cute "neurodivergent aesthetic"?
The minimization of autistic struggles to just "socially awkward sometimes" ends up making higher support needs autistics feel real isolated, because it's obvious that when you romanticize neurodivergence, you're not talking about us.
This this this.
Married 22 years, and let me tell you, nothing prepared my husband for becoming my carer. This is not a cute aesthetic. I'm in pain nearly all the time from sensory input. I can't clean, shop, help with tasks around the house etc. I can't even emotionally connect with him due to my comorbid alexithymia.
Autism is a disability for a reason.
This this this. My partner is the only one to go to the grocery store if a quick trip is needed, I will only do pickup orders. If I'm having a migraine, overstimulation, struggling with fatigue, he becomes my caretaker. I'll flinch if I'm even touched. I go through phases of struggling to eat, struggling to sleep, struggling to do basic cleaning and maintenance tasks. My biggest category affected by my disability is my hygiene, and he can't be squeamish that I don't shower as frequently as others. I have days that I really can't be asked to do much at all, and he will have to pick up the slack. He primarily cooks. He has to either sit with me while I clean to help me, or completely disappear so I can focus. He has to be okay if I suddenly say it's time to go home if we're out because I can't be out anymore. He has to be okay with me resting after every activity. He needs to be tolerant of me taking my time in stores, as I'm slower with processing. He has to not take it personally when I say I can't be touched, can't be talked to, can't be around him, can't eat the food he just made, etc etc.
I'm a different person when I'm overstimulated, grumpier and less tolerant. I can have massive mood swings. I get very stubborn and snappy during high stress moments. When I'm overstimulated, I become a very black and white thinker who lashes out (in a controlled and safe way, thank god for therapy). I'm working on these things, but they're ingrained into my brain with my autism. I can manage these symptoms and behaviors, but they will never go away.
And I'm a level-1 autistic person. I'm in the category people see as just "quirky". People will look at me and say incredibly ableist things about my community members who struggle a lot more than I ever do. All the while, I am still in need of a caretaking partner too. They don't get to use me as the "quirky" autistic stereotype. Past partners neglected me heavily and treated me like I was asking for too much because they wanted the "quirky" and not the disabled.
Autism is not a cute disorder. I'm proud of my brain and proud to be autistic, but it isn't what people love to characterize it as. I am not cutesy, I am disabled. And if my partner can't handle that, then that's on them. They willingly signed up for a disabled partner, pros and cons and all.
I think Mark would be VERY HAPPY to know that my local theatre had a custom cocktail just for his movie. It was pretty tasty!
THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER HORROR MOVIE!
I adored the movie. For me, I loved the slow pace, the tension, the music. We called the creature Doug the whole time and joked "he just wants to cuddle, let him hug you!" LOL.
I had a few moments of existential crisis during. The reminder that humans are wired for survival, for purpose, that even at our end we must have a goal. When things are hopeless and yet we can't stop for some reason, why can't we stop? Why can't we accept the end? We die hoping. We die wishing and dreaming and fighting. We can't help it, we can't help but hope when there's no point to. And maybe that's the point of all of this. Maybe that's the point of life. To hope despite it all.
I definitely recommend the movie, as long as you don't mind the long watch time! I promise it's worth it!
Sorry😅🤣
Iron Lung spoilers without context:
It feels appropriate to repost this seeing as the movie is out in a few days and this has made me giggle ever since I made it a couple years ago.
The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be done with it and the sooner you can stop thinking about it. Go on, up you get, it won't be as bad as you think.
You won't want to do it later either. You might as well just do it now. Even if you don't finish it all, anything you manage to get done now is something you don't have to do later (when you still won't want to do it)
i dont thinkg you guys understand that there is now an active openly trans idol. do you understand how fucking awesome that is
