I’d only use it 2-3 times a year at most, but when you need a stand mixer you *really* need a stand mixer! Or one beefy arm, a la TROGDOR
A white mixing bowl with a handle to the left and spout to the right is sitting on top of a flat black stove. The handle of a spatula (which says/has the Marvel logo on it) is sticking out towards the top right of the image, through the spout, and the paddle of the spatula is buried in a lumpy looking, bright orange mass at the bottom of the bowl. The mass is a proto-cheese ball, a mixture of cheddar, Parmesan, bleu and cream cheese, along with ranch dip powder and Frank’s buffalo sauce. The sides of the bowl are messy with streaks and spots of the cheese ball mixture.

Today is the Trans Day of Visibility and I’m donating to the Rainbow Railroad and the Trans Lifeline. I wish neither of these services were necessary, but they are and they need as much support as we can give.

Too many pokey bits! Ow my fingies ☹️
A partially completed piece of LEGO art. A simple rectangular black frame starts on the left and continues offscreen to the right. Three-fifths of the frame starting from the left is filled with a colourful oval with spiralling arms - a partial picture of the milk way galaxy. Empty space is represented with flat, nearly see through, dark purple LEGO bricks. The galaxy elements are in multiple colours, including blues, purples, pinks, oranges, creams and whites. The galaxy elements raised at different levels, with some barely being higher than the background and others coming up five or more pieces high. A close up of one vertical column piece of the full art work. The bottom of the panel is nearest to the viewer and the most clear. The top of the panel is in the background and more blurry. The bottom is filled with blue and purple pieces in various shades and starts flat while building in height as it transitions into pink, orange and cream bricks in the middle with the most height. The top of the panel is again lower and more in shades of blue and purple again. The panel column is sitting on an open instruction booklet for the piece, with a glimpse of the instructions showing.

Eight bags and two booklets down, 23 bags and four booklets to go!
A series of LEGO instruction booklets laid out on the table, with booklet #1 on top/at the front and booklet #6 on the bottom/at the back. The first booklet shows a simple black frame on the cover while the last booklet shows the finished view of the last vertical section to be built. The covers of the other booklets aren’t visible except for the numbers due to the way they’re stacked. A black LEGO frame starting on the left and continuing to the right side of the picture where the picture cuts off. The left side of the frame is filled with the beginnings of a LEGO art piece showing the Milky Way galaxy, with the top having lighter blues shading to dark purples and pinks and the edge of a spiral arm just starting to form. The bottom section is mostly flat and a shiny, nearly see-through dark purple. This vertical strip of the picture is made up of three square blocks connected together. In three spots at equal distances on the right edge of the squares are bright green bricks visible from where they’re attached underneath, waiting to be connected to the next section. The rest of the visible frame is empty, showing a wooden table underneath.

Time for a bit of colour and fun
The front of a box of LEGO, a set called The Milky Way. The set is an art piece of the galaxy done in the smallest LEGO pieces, showing the spiral of the galaxy in brilliant, vivid colour and texture. The centre of the galaxy is a light cream colour and expands out into yellows, oranges, pinks, reds, purples and blues, with the background done in a see-through and reflective dark blue. The pieces are built up from the base of the image, giving a 3D effect, which also includes shapes like satellites and stars. There are 3091 pieces in the set, which is #31212 and marked as 18+. There is a themed soundtrack available to listen to as you build.

Yuuuuuuup
Callout from the bottom of the article. The typical traits of someone with AuDHD By Dr Becky Quicke, a clinical psychologist • Enjoying the fun and stimulation of being with others whilst also feeling socially anxious and awkward and being extremely exhausted afterwards. • Having a strong need for predictability whilst also easily becoming bored of routines. • Having lots of ideas but wanting everything to be done to perfection, so you feel stuck and do nothing. • Going "all in" on a hobby, interest or passion, but frequently changing focus. • Desperately wanting to complete tasks but struggling with procrastination, or getting into the zone. • A quick thinking brain that reads the situation extremely quickly so nobody would ever guess the anxiety and confusion underneath. • Craving excitement but getting easily overwhelmed, so struggling with both understimulation and overstimulation.
