To all trans youth out there: I see you, I love you, I am proud of you being who you are in this extremely difficult time. I'm so sorry so many adults either want to attack you or have failed to protect you from those attacks.

You deserve a better world and we won't stop fighting until we make a better one.

And fuck the Supreme Court.

I have celiac, so it's not necessarily an allergy thing, but detailed labels are very important and should be required on everything.

I am begging the FDA to require that companies CANNOT just put "spices" as an ingredient but have to label the spices.

"Spices" can mean "this has some oregano and black pepper in it" or it can mean "this has cumin cayenne and paprika and if you eat this you will be sick in bed in pain for a week" for me.

Seriously, this is an allergy issue and a huge oversight on the part of corporations.

Require detailed labeling of spices used in packaged foods NOW.

My wife and I started dating when we were 16, we could have gotten married at 18 since it was legal in our state by then for gay marriage but we didn't want to.

We got married when we were 29.

We dated for 13 years before getting married, and have been married for 6 now.

Long relationships aren't as bad as people think. When I see people complain that they weren't proposed to after 6 years I roll my eyes, because it's stupid.

Do you love that person? If yes, it shouldn't matter if you're married or not. It's also less legal bullshit if that person betrays you in any way.

That sounds like a win-win to me.

i taught a baking class for 12 year olds today and we made your garden variety chocolate chip cookies, but i’m a big believer in Questioning Everything and the who/what/where/why/when/how behind things, so the first part of the class was purposely letting the kids do things the wrong way, to show and explain why we do things the way we do.

“why do we bake cookies at 180 for 9 minutes when we could do 400 for 2 minutes?” -enter the godawful lump of coal with a still gross wet and uncooked inside

“why do we have to scoop out little cookies instead of doing the whole tray?” -ok well that one you can technically do if the spread is even. you just end up with one giant, structurally unsound cookie. “PLEASE CAN WE MAKE GIANT COOKIES” (we did make 1 giant tray cookie)

we talked a lot about why consistency is important, but i don’t think it really hammered home until i said “okay everyone gets ONE cookie, that’s fair, right?” and then handed out cookies of hugely varying sizes. + baked one fat lump of a cookie that still wasn’t done at the 9 minutes, vs the regular one i put in that came out charred by the time the first was actually done.

we also made a row of cookies where each one had one single differing ingredient omitted, like a cookie with no flour, or a cookie with no butter, and laid them all out on a single tray to bake together to see how each ingredient affects the outcome.

two of the little girls added cocoa to their cookie doughs until it matched the colour of each others skin to make best friend cookies, and that almost made me tear up a bit 🥺

got briefly distracted (…for over half an hour…) talking about how eggs form when someone cracked an egg and it had 2 yolks

expertly tolerated being asked how old i am (just turned 31 the other day) which was immediately followed by asking if i watched the moon landing live on tv

was so focused on keeping track of all the kids that in the end i forgot to make a cookie for myself, but it’s ok because one of the girls gave me this

HI FRIENDS!

I have had my initial appointment and I am approved for surgery, but i’m still trying to raise funds to cover it!

I havent been able to post much due to a severe flare up that has completely knocked me off my feet, and has seen me sleeping the majority of week away.

I am at 28% of my goal, and i haven’t been able to post or share my fundraiser so i haven’t had a donation in a little while because i’ve frankly been in too much pain to share.

the surgery is to remove endometriosis tissue, decrease my pain and improve my chances of getting pregnant and having my first child.

please please please consider sharing, as it would help me immensely. i appreciate the support i’ve had recently so much and i hope you all know much much it means to me.

love yall.

Where did the idea of a philosopher's stone that could turn metals into gold come from? I know a few things about alchemical theories of matter, the idea that metals are combinations of various properties/constituents (hot/cold/dry/moist, sophic sulfur/mercury) and that you could transmute them by changing the balance of these properties makes sense to me. And I've seen your metaphor about alchemists wanting to unbake a cake and rebake it differently. But I don't get where the stone comes in.

Great question!

The Philosophers stone is the key ingredient in Chrysopoea, gold-making. Throw some gold into a boiling pot of philosophers stone, the whole pot turns into gold.

Every recipie for the production of a philosophers stone seems to conceptualize it differently. The process is generally broken down into three or four stages, each of which has several steps.

I'm not a chemist, but from what I've read, the alchemists were probably distilling impure sources of mercury and sulphur, and produing some form of synthetic cinnabar. Which was then melted down, and used to make cinnabar-gold alloys that have the properties and appearance of gold. To people without the technology to understand the debasing of metals, this process would resemble making gold from scratch.

"Maybe in another lifetime" no. This is literally all we get. Send that text. Go out on Friday. Tell your friends and family that you love them. Be kind. Because you only get this life once. Your life is not a game, you can't replay this. Don't hide behind your fears and "what ifs".Don't leave any stones unturned if you felt the need to ever turn them.

Hi Keri!

You and your crew are amazing at fix finding so I thought I would see if anyone could help me. I remember someone writing a fix with Frankie and Dieter and a female reader, I think she was Frankie's ex? I want to say he called her Fireworks or something similar but its been a while since I read it.

Ohhh anyone?

Dieter/Frankie you say?
