Someone: “So tell me about yourself!”

This is one of my most popular posts…

The answer is:

So, I managed to fit all but one big bowl of peaches into the two stock pots …

An hour and a half later, here they are simmering away …

In case you were wondering, it is, in fact, longer than 5 hours, as I am still stirring this jam over the oven :) :) :)

Hello again friends, it is currently REAL JAMMING TIME and I have been in stirring hell for seven hours

So, uh, the first stock pot alone yielded 272 ounces, so I … may have accidentally made about 68 8oz jars of jam …… and I only had 36 jars …

So I woke up today after sleeping like a log to fibd my dad had already gone back to the store (which is like 30 min away) and gotten me more jars because he saw that I needed them

Update: WE BE JAMMIN’

So, I FINALLY managed to can all the jam, except for like … 6 oz of it, so I made shortbread cookies to use that with ;)

Pretty sure it was the Plague, childbirth, food spoiling, maltreated infections, smallpox, pneumonia, and/or generally unsanitary living conditions (such as dumping sewage and waste in the streets) and not health conditions caused by excess body fat.

My friends who take meds for their depression aren’t threatened by my choice to use other means to treat my own depression. They would never tell me I don’t really have depression because I don’t take meds for it. Likewise, I don’t see why trans people need to be threatened if I treat my dysphoria without transitioning. They don’t have to dismiss it as not being real because I don’t deal with it the same way they do. If a depressed person tries medication and has a bad reaction to it or tries therapy and doesn’t find it helpful, that doesn’t mean they’re not really depressed. That means they need to find another kind of treatment. Likewise, if a person with gender dysphoria tries transitioning and it doesn’t help them, that doesn’t mean they’re not really dysphoric, it means they need another way to treat their dysphoria.
