People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I’d pass it on.

I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?

These people seem to get it, though. It’s very simple in places. It’s basically the cookbook for people who think, ‘I’m really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can’t think of anything else to cook that won’t exhaust me’. And it’s free!

foxes-in-love:

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting on his computer, as Green sneaks up on him, laying his chin on the table. Green: One vibe check, please. Blue: Sure.  Blue turns back to his computer as Green listens, chin still on the tabletop. Blue: You are loved, you're doing ok, and nobody is mad at you.  Green stares ahead of himself while Blue turns to kiss his forehead. Green: Can I also be kissed? Blue: Sure.ALT

One thing that tickled me about the Barbie movie was how Gloria’s husband is (imo) a ‘Real World’ Ken.

We see very little of him in the movie. In both of his scenes, he’s trying to speak/learn Spanish. He does nothing important or if consequence in terms of the plot… But he’s trying to learn a language his wife and daughter speak. He’s not excelling, I’m not even sure if he’s succeeding. But he is kensistently trying.

For all of the 'Real World’ men who are antagonists or opponents to Barbie, El Esposo de Gloria (as he is listed in the credits) has true Kenergy.

what-even-is-thiss:

Living alone leads to habits that you don’t realize are weird until you stay with someone else and have to suppress them.

I’m staying with family right now and I can’t just go “AUGH” like a peanuts character in the middle of the night just because I feel like it. I also can’t lick cooking utensils anymore because other people are gonna be eating that. And I can’t rant to my Swedish horse because I left that at home and also ranting to an inanimate object in the middle of the house would make me look insane.

I was talking to my aunt about this because she also lives alone and we agree that when you start living alone you need to start making more noises when you do things like grunting when you get up and yelling at annoying inanimate objects because you need to fill the space somehow. But when suddenly other people are around you’re now in the habit of whistling whenever you open a cabinet and people who have never lived alone don’t understand what you’re doing.

If you ever stay with somebody who lives alone for a few days and they start randomly doing squats in the middle of the kitchen and clicking their teeth or making noises at birds outside, just let them. Believe it or not those are methods of preserving sanity. Shaking the fridge and demanding it give you answers is a shield against the impeding darkness.

On this beautiful disability pride month can we talk about how eating healthy is incredibly difficult when you’re disabled? If I can’t get out of bed to make food then I might not eat, or I might end up spending far more money than I want on takeout, and hurting my finances. And those meal delivery kits are cost prohibitive and rely on you having enough spoons to, y’know, actually make the food.

People don’t talk a lot about disabled people’s struggles with basic survival skills, but this one is huge and important and something we have to do 3 times a day for optimal health — and when your health is already suboptimal, it can be incredibly dehumanizing to hear people just say things like,

“Well, have you tried going vegan?”
