I can see how maintaining an counterproductive power dynamic in the classroom would have that effect! I'm not usually one to complain about my profs, especially not about something trivial, but this class is one of the things that brought me back to therapy this semester.

I would rather see the unhinged art your child made at preschool than another boring AI action figure post.

New on the #Disneyland Blog: Tried the grain bowl at River Belle Terrace! Sautéed garden veggies, heritage grains succotash, tofu, & herbed vinaigrette. Super tasty! 🌱 Check out my full vegan guide to Disneyland at www.vegandynamite.fun ✨ #VeganFood #PlantBased #Blogger #VeganSky

On a recent trip to the parks, I recalled how Disneyland helped me work through anxiety, panic attacks, and sensory sensitivity. I’ve been sharing my journey on Patreon, including pursuing an #autism diagnosis & career transitions. More at patreon.com/vegandynamite ✨ #MentalHealth #Disneyland #Vegan

I've been trying to cut back on sugar, too! Lately I've been having a bowl of blueberries with a little PB & cinnamon for dessert. 🫐

Now I'm doing great, my brain and body feel better, and I have more energy than before. I am still drinking about 3 cups of green tea per day, plus an occasional matcha. #coffee #caffeine #caffeinewithdrawal

Update on my #CoffeeBreakup: Currently on day 10. I felt great the first 2 days, but at the end of day 3 I got hit with what felt like COVID symptoms. Fever, chills, aches, fatigue that lasted about 24-36 hours, then sharply tapered off. I learned this can be an effect of caffeine withdrawal.

I blocked someone my second day here, and every few days I see one-sided threads of people arguing with them. I didn't even have a conflict with this person.. I just knew.

I forgot about that! I switched from coffee to green tea today (minus the 🍄) and feel great. I've never taken l-theanine supplements but have given it to my cat in calming treats, it definitely worked!

I've had some health symptoms triggered by anxiety so I decided to take a break from coffee to see if it helps (it has in the past). Morning I felt fantastic. 3-4pm felt like I could slip into a coma. It's almost 6 and I'm feeling pretty good again. Looking fwd to melting into my bed tonight. 💫

The competition was fierce, but after all we've been through in this series, they managed to introduce the most unlikable character in season 5: Alanis Wheeler. #TheHandmaidsTale #HandmaidsOnHulu

Rewatching The Handmaid's Tale to prep for season 6, and I've noticed I'm extra careful crossing the street ever since Alma & Brianna. 🥺🚂 #handmaidstale #thehandmaidstale #handmaidsonhulu

I found these randomly at CVS, they’re so good! I think the Malibu flavor was my fav.

I'm not really sure how long, but being willing to DNF books I'm not really enjoying, and committing to just finishing one helps me get back on track.

I may still be recuperating from writing it, but I am pretty proud of this one. 😮‍💨 My personal statement just dropped* on Patreon, and kicked off a new series to help me (and hopefully help each other) get through the highs and lows of the week. 👻

*sorry it’s not something cooler like a diss track

some days i have to make the main event on my to-do list. sorry I can't tonight, i'm rehydrating. it feels like a small wellness retreat, but it's really just staying alive.

I like the cookbook "vegan slow cooker" by kathy hester for comforting reheatable meals (if you have a crock pot). Ordering a purple carrot box to make for him could be easy too! I usually choose meals I think will reheat well.

I was there in 2016 and I feel like my phone was never above 20-30% 🤣 a power bank definitely would have helped!

The outcome of your PhD is not your thesis, it is YOU.
If AI writes your thesis, (a) you will have a shit thesis, (b) you basically went to the gym and got a machine to lift the weights and you came out with legs like cheesestrings, (c) you paid money and got nothing back.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.

TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Snack: the hummus trio from Bengal Barbecue is a nice way to get some veggies on the go. The black bean hummus is so unphotogenic but still tasty (and slightly spicy), I’m not totally sure what the green one was (avocado? green pea? still tasty!) and the other was red pepper. 🥕🥒🥦🍅 #vegan #obvs

For dessert: the new blueberry cobbler from River Belle Terrace. This was a very fruit-forward version and I’ve seen others order this with lots more topping 🥲 but I still loved mine as-is! #disneyland #vegan

Welcome to Balance ItBalanceIT

Hi! My dogs are not currently vegan (I adopted a puppy and animal protein is important for their growth), but my older dog has been vegan with kibble/canned food. I don't love kibble either. Our vet gave us a fresh
vegan recipe with this supplement, you can do it thru their site as well: balance.it
