have you found a comfortable balance in your life? well first of all i’ve never been comfortable so jot that down, and i never know when to fuckin quit

11. Is there anyone is your life you wish you had met sooner than you did? This is probably a boring answer, but no; I think that everyone I’ve met who has impacted my life, I met at just the right time I was supposed to. This holds true for those I have yet to meet, as well. 

Thank you for the ask!

Hell yeah! Two birds one stone! I’m sorry your week has been so long, though, I hope you can get some good relaxation in this weekend.

warningstandbygo: I’ve heard the url before but never really interacted with them. Now I am following them. Enough said, right? Except not really.

This is a fun blog! I’ve never seen most of the stuff here before, which is a really nice change of pace. I appreciate the good Marvel content – as much of a shitshow as it’s been sometimes, I do still enjoy the good stuff, and lo! here it is compiled for enjoyment! The occasional informative or helpful post on anxiety is also particularly appreciated.

marksnothere: HEY! We’ve been friends for a super long time and I’m so glad about it. Remember the days when you used to send me anonymous messages about your fuckawful commute? Good grief. It seems like you’re in a much better place these days (mostly, weeks like this being the exception I hope?) – I don’t think I ever told you in so many words how glad I am for that. I am very glad.

At any rate. I admire your outspokenness and your unwillingness to take shit. Homophobia, ableism, abusiveness and other general forms of dickery have no place on your blog or in your life. You smack that shit down as emphatically as possible. You are passionate about a lot of different things and always willing to answer my questions about them, and I enjoy learning from you (I feel like I’ve said this with everyone but it’s true!), and your love for instrumental music is a mirror of my love for choral music, which I enjoy. :)

I know that feel <3

Depending on where you are in the world, non organic potatoes are often sprayed with sulfite based pesticides and preservatives to keep them from turning brown. 

Your safest bet would be to buy only certified organic potatoes and make everything yourself. You should also never eat pre-peeled or frozen potatoes as that makes them more sulfited (so anything from restaurants is a no go unless you know they are using only organic and not freezing). I forget why but it’s a thing and I’ve tested it out on myself a few times and yep, if I freeze fries before making them I will have a migraine the next day and my body will be having a meltdown.

Everything potato based needs to be made fresh from scratch if you have sulfite issues, although I have found I can tolerate some organic non gmo store bought potato chips, but only in small quantities. When I make my own however I can eat them by the bowl full and not have the same symptoms, likely because I don’t fry them but bake them in the oven. (most store bought chips will be frozen before frying to help them retain their shape) Also some of the oils they use can be troublesome for those of us with sulfite issues. For me canola oil and rapeseed oil are extremely bad. I tend to make everything with olive oil these days.
