AS A WARNING: I do enjoy horror / gore and will try to tag basic triggers, but I can't promise consistency if no one explicitly asks me to tag certain things.

Me: safe at last from the clutches of gender

Guess what?

✌️I changed my name and I'm still on my shit bitches✌️

Addition: I am genderfluid (have been for a while) and I've currently started having enough masc days that I need to add something on: on my masc days I go by Tommy, just they/them (might even try he/him). On the non masc days tho I go by Tami (she/they).

I will update my blog title as necessary

Yo, so I'm just a dude now. Hi, I'm Tommy

I don’t have food stamps but I need to know how to eat well for $4/day. Thank you for this.

I love this cookbook!

Tips and tricks on how to survive being working class.

I’ve seen this kind of thing before and a lot of them are full of random weird shit you’d never make…because of time constraints or like, it just sounds super gross.

But this one had a whole section that’s just “Things on Toast”. Another that was all about putting crap in your oatmeal to make it better. Those are fairly pedestrian and don’t take forever.

I haven’t looked through the whole thing yet but so far it’s actually pretty practical. Also if you’re broke like me and don’t know how to make Dal, you should get on that. 

I also liked that there’s this at the beginning:

This book isn’t challenging you to live on so little; it’s a resource in case that’s your reality. In May 2014, there were 46 million Americans on food stamps. Untold millions more—in particular, retirees and students—live under similar constraints.

Been there. Done that. Advice on this art is always welcome.

The link above seems to be broken; here’s one that still works.

The Good And Cheap cookbook is 100% free as a PDF download from the author’s website and is available in English and Spanish. It is practical, tasty, easy, and kind. Physical copies are one of my top “so you have your own place now” gifts. Highly recommend.

(note that the PDF is oriented the same as the physical book - two square pages - so it’s more landscape format and might be difficult to read on a phone)

Reminder to trans men early on in your transition. If you hear a voice in your head telling you you're not a "real man" for whatever reason that's the devil talking.

Also what the heck, cis men too. Take control of your life. A "real man" is a man. Define what that means for yourself. Society's idea of masculinity is often way too narrow. Make your own definitions. Be a man because you're having fun doing it. Not because your dad tells you to.

i'm aware that the sheer amount of climate anxiety that i have is not productive but it's also being shoved in my face every 0.5 seconds due to the fact that i study climate science. imagine if you were going to be a civil engineer and engineers discovered that all the concrete in the world was going to disintegrate in five years at the stroke of midnight like a concrete y2k and your teachers kept emphasising the long term risks of concrete and why we need to stop building with concrete and manufacturing concrete and the government inducts new Concrete Transition ministers but meanwhile every new building is still being made with fucking concrete because everyone is adamant that the engineers will find a solution to the Concrete Crisis, even though the solution is to just stop using concrete because its going to lose all structural integrity in five years. and they tell you to keep studying concrete and work something out to make it stronger. no wonder we are insane
