Honestly bluesky lost me when it became basically impossible to post my food pics 😭

Thank you!

What's left on our list before July?

3 more bakeries/panaderias

Mexican/Japanese fusion

New Indian place!

More tacos (2 food trucks)

Waffle & whiskey bar (this Friday)

Italian (we've cooked w their fresh pasta, bruschetta peppers, olive oil, etc for like 2 years but never eaten there)

I haven't been cooking as much because after almost a decade, we're leaving Greeley- and the food here slaps tbh so we've been trying all of the local restaurants that we hadn't gotten to yet! We're eating sooo many tacos, we tried a crepe place we didn't know existed, a new Thai restaurant (cont)

I often forget bluesky exists and that's mostly bc I never succeeded in leaving ig and I haven't been cooking as much, but also bc I accidentally click on the discord app instead every time I look for the bluesky icon ✨️

I am perfectly adaptable to my plans changing. However if I make A Plan, and that changes, I will shut down and maybe cry.

Ugh work in progress, autistic skill regression is the worst bye

The universe immediately rewarding me for appropriately communicating my needs is wild, everyone say thank you universe

Also, can we talk about the lack of visibility of women being held in ICE custody from media outlets. It really gives the appearance that only men are being deported and/ or these women are inconsequential bc even in this instance the patriarchy is hard at work.

As she mentioned in her book and discussed in a 2016 interview with me, the federal agency that deported her family never inquired as to her whereabouts. No social worker ever appeared to ask where she would live or how she would eat.

The story of the American citizen child separated from her deported parents is shocking and appalling—and sadly not entirely uncommon. This happened to actress Diane Guerrero, who came home from school as a 14 year old to learn her entire family was detained and then deported.

Okay second/final photo..

Sliced bread is lined upright in a ceramic baking dish. The bread is dotted with cranberries and walnuts and drenched in egg, milk, and a warm brown maple sauce.

Trying one photo at a time 🥲

Bluesky is bullying me and won't let me post photos rn

My stove wasn't working last weekend but I was craving french toast.. so I made baked french toast for the first time. 7 out of 10, it was good but lost points for texture.

I used cranberry walnut bread from the farmers market and made a caramel-esque sauce from maple syrup, brown sugar, + butter.

Amanda made such a good point the other day like why are we not talking about the sims to dnd pipeline fr

First dnd session (session zero technically) this weekend and the goal is to ✨️unmask✨️ in front of strangers, scary stuff

Thank you! Definitely feeling better than the last two days thank goodness. I've done a version of brown sugar salmon before but not with soy sauce, that sounds awesome so I'll definitely try!

Thank you, will try that too! Salmon is so versatile 😍 the sauce on this was chipotle peppers in adobo, lime juice, honey, pepper, fresh garlic, and salt. Suuuuper simple so I definitely have room to play

A blue plate with roasted, sliced zucchini and yellow squash, topped with a serving of salmon- all covered in a red chipotle honey adobo garlic puree.

I made honey chipotle salmon with roasted zucchini- 9 out of 10. I think it should have a bit of sugar to help give it a little crust but the overall taste was lovely.

Despite being sick I'm making a new recipe tonight for the first time since the halibut florentine, my immune system will just have to figure out how to function before dinner

Yesss CAS walked so BG3's charactor creator could run! Although BG3 doesn't compare for face customization tbh

Sims 3 is still elite, it just doesn't play nice with my gaming computer- BG3 is literally less work for my pc and that game is massive 🥲 too bad I hate sims 4 and also EA 😭

We also need to remember that "I was just following orders," was not an acceptable defense for atrocities in the Nuremberg trials, and keep that energy going.

Is this why theatre was fun for 12 years

(no it was the scripted socialization and then later, the drunken socializing after the scripted socializing)

I have 30 pages of character info for my dnd characters and 5 more for my bg3 characters and 12 more for my book characters.. I think I just like inventing people

I wholeheartedly recommend having a partner who tells you how beautiful and loved you are while you have horrible food poisoning (or a stomach bug?? Really not sure at this point)

Being sick is the worst for many reasons but the number one reason is that I love food and being sick messes w my appetite and my sense of smell/taste boooooo

High functioning autism? More like high masking autism that makes me want to jump out the nearest window the second I'm overstimulated

Protests in Greeley today too, pretty proud of this city lately

So it's autism awareness month. Personally, I hate that. We're aware of autism. Being aware doesn't change the stigma. It should be autism acceptance month instead. We're not a problem to be aware of, we're humans who need to be accepted. Especially now as the anti vaccine rhetoric escalates.

A valid point 😭
