I remember last Trump term Rand Paul ran around the capital building for like a whole day trying to find “the plan” before realizing the Republicans didn’t have one.

Tell me about what the doctors used to amputate limbs and treat infections and help pain, and then maybe I’ll listen to you gush about the history and strategy of your favorite war

I think everyone should learn about war first and foremost from the accounts of the people who dealt with the bloody aftermath.

It never really decreases it, cause then I’m excited to see if i am right. As long as the MC doesn’t come across as too oblivious, it works.

In the end i wasn’t lured away from evangelicalism by an evil world. I was driven away by the behavior and beliefs of evangelicals themselves.

So you can imagine that watching people try and rewrite the reality I was living in is surreal.

2012 was also, not by coincidence, the year my religious deconstruction hit the gas. 🚗 💨 ⛪️

I’m so mad that they took down the Daily Show archives because the 2012 post election episode about how Fox News reacted to the loss is an incredible watch.

(Granted I was thinking more along the lines of violence and stochastic terrorism and less about if they’d elect someone to dismantle the U.S. altogether.)

There was so much vitriol coming from the right during Obama’s second run for president that at one point I told my husband I was worried about what conservatives would do when they lost.

I have extensive instructions on spatchcocking a bird (and why) in COLOR TASTE TEXTURE!

(also highly recommend getting poultry shears)
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....
