The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.

Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.

No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Easy carb add on:

Cookie

Fruit (canned or fresh)

Chips

Piece of bread

Popcorn

Crackers

Easy protein add on:

Nuts

Spoonful of nut butter

Cheese

Roasted chickpea snacks

Glass of milk (dairy or non dairy)

Small canned sausages or similar

[what-even-is-thiss]

Sugar in there.

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

idk I can tell that some tumblrinas are not up on fat politics because I see a lot of people saying stuff like “it’s better to be a little fat than waste your life trying to be thin” or like “it’s chic to have a little belly” like okay but there are fat people who are “a lot fat” and have “a lot of belly” which everyone is weirdly silent on all the time. Like the fattest person on earth still deserves to exist in human society with joy and dignity regardless of how they got to that weight or how many health conditions they have as a result of their personal actions…that should be everyone’s baseline here I’m not really sure what’s complicated about it

I was telling my friends that for years I couldn’t take Star Wars seriously because “Darth Vader looked so stupid under the helmet”, and they were confused so they asked me what I thought he looked like. I proceeded to describe a purple, alien-skinned thing with horns all over its bald scalp. They informed me that was not, in fact, what Darth Vader looked like, and so I did a deep dive.

This lead me to realize that I conflated the face of Darth Vader with the face of a toy featured prominently in commercials around the time when I was a kid, so allow me to introduce you to what I thought Darth Vader looked like for 25+ years of my life:

Darth Boo-Bah.

I think what a lot of people fail (probably willingly in a lot of places) to realize is that misogyny, racism, transphobia etc. is that they are describing SYSTEMS of oppression, not necessarily individual bigoted views.

Misogyny is a system because society systemically oppresses women, black people asian people indigenous people etc. are systemically oppressed by racism, trans people are systemically oppressed by transphobia- they are not solely individual actions but the sum of everything that a society runs on.

Misandry is not real because there is no systemic oppression of men in society. Straight up. To argue otherwise is to also suggest that there is also systemic oppression of white people, or cis people, which we all know it complete horseshit (or, I hope we all think that.)

What I think a lot of people are seeing when they cry misandry is just, someone not liking men, or hating men- but that's not a system.

People can hold anti-men attitudes, hell, we could even call it "being anti-men", but that is not proof that systemic oppression of men in society exists.

Cool. You with me now?

This is why transmisogyny is a thing, because there is an intersection between the oppression of women, and the oppression of trans people, but transmisandry/transandrophobia aren't real things. There is no intersection of systemic oppression towards trans people, and men, because one of those axes straight up does not exist.

But it still possible for individual people to be anti-trans men/anti-trans masc, and sometimes it's worth pointing that out, but you don't have to invent an entire imaginary axis of oppression to point out if someone's anti-trans masc views are being harmful.

[catboybiologist]

Exactly this. There are unique harms and attitudes that are directed at transmasculine people specifically (eg infantilization, difficulties of procedures over "female" fertility concerns, T being a controlled substance), but they are not an emergent property of existing misandry because no such thing exists. Acting otherwise is a disservice both to transfeminine people and transmasculine people, as it provides an incorrect framework for perceiving any form of transphobia.

[dittography-direwolf]

Totally normal for a legitimate for-profit company to refuse to reclaim or stop running their products even after they're no longer being paid to do so. I'm sure it's very normal to just keep running your service for free when your contract's been terminated. Spending money to continue running cameras that supposedly no one is looking at is definitely not an indicator they are just run by the federal government to spy on everyone and only a wacko conspiracy theorist would think so.

I think cis women should be allowed to get top surgery even if its not for a medical reason like breast reduction or cancer. I think they should be able to get it even if they're completely cisgender. Some women are just sick of dealing with them and would be much much happier never needing to wear a bra again

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was found by accident during the Apollo program when NASA learned what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.
