A highly loved book in regards to asexual portrayal, Felicity’s journey does a fantastic job of exploring the struggle of navigating a world where marriage is expected of women in order to function in society. Even more refreshing is Felicity isn’t just avoiding getting married out of a sole rebellion against the patriarchy (though those themes are also present), but simply because she doesn’t have an interest in sexual or romantic relationships at all.

Between these two characters, we have some great queer representation for both asexuality and bisexuality.

50 dicas básicas da Ana e Mia. JAMAIS ESQUEÇER.

1. Coma sempre o pequeno-almoço! Isto mantém o teu metabolismo trabalhando.

2. Coma o mais devagar que puder. O organismo leva cerca de 30 minutos a perceber que está cheio. Mastigue até sentir a comida completamente desfeita na boca.

3. Coma em frente ao espelho.

4. Quando tiveres ânsias (compulsão) por comida conta até 100. Geralmente só o fato de te concentrar, faz-te perder a fome.

5. Pouse o grafo entre cada garfada.

6. Nunca comer a partir das 19h/20h (o metabolismo fica mais lento).

7. Disfarça a descoloração da pele debaixo das unhas por falta de nutrientes com verniz de cor.

8. Tome comprimidos para a azia se tiveres com muita fome. Neutraliza o ácido do estômago que te faz sentir fome.

9. Mantenha um caixote perto de onde come. Se sentires que vais comer demais, jogue o resto fora.

10. Beba refrigerantes light. Enche e têm apenas 1 caloria. (mas é preferível beber água)

11. Limpe alguma coisa nojenta, certeza que vais perder o apetite.

12. Escove os dentes. O sabor da pasta é horrível se comer em seguida.

13. Todas as calorias são importantes. Quando sentado(a) mexe a perna, contrai os abdominais, nunca pare de se exercitar.

14. Beba um copo de água por hora, não só vai fazer com o estômago se sinta cheio, mas também te vai dar uma pele hidratada. Água fria queima mais calorias, água quente enche mais.

15. Jogue fora a comida que achar que pode comer compulsivamente.

16. Quando sair, leve só o dinheiro que precisar, nada extra. Assim, não terá a tentação de gastar em comida.

17. Senta-te com a coluna direita, ter uma boa postura queima mais 10 calorias do que curvado(a).

18. Bebe um gole de água entre cada garfada. Isso vai te dar uma sensação de satisfação mais rápido.

19. Não fique muito agasalhada. O organismo gasta mais energia a manter o corpo quente.

20. Se tiver um ataque de comer compulsivo, mastiga a comida e cospe a seguir.

21. Coma as refeições em pratos pequenos.

22. Ande sempre com as nádegas contraídas, gasta imensas calorias e o resultado é bom.

23. Tente ficar confortável na cama, uma posição a qual terá certeza que não vai levantar-te para ir comer a noite.

24. Use a imaginação. Imagine como será a comida no estômago e como a gordura será formada (eca).

25. Estrague a tua comida. Coloque demasiado sal, por exemplo, resulta muito bem e você não irá comer. 26. Vai a lojas e experimenta roupas que gostaria que te servissem.

27. Olha para a gordura que tens no corpo e imagina que se comer, não vai fazer mais nada senão adicionar mais gordura ainda.

28. Coma quando estiver rodeada de pessoas. Com a conversa elas irão esquecer de te vigiar.

29. Obesidade é horrível e gordos são inúteis lembre-se disso.

30. Veja sempre foto daquele thinspiration linda.

31. Pesa-te sempre.As balanças não enganam.

32. Coloque na cabeça que se o teu amigo(a) magérrimo(a) come 3000 calorias e não engorda, não quer dizer que possa fazer o mesmo.

33. Aprende a gostar da sensação de vazio no estômago. Confia em mim, vai sentir-te enjoado quando comeres exageradamente mais uma vez.

34. Observa as outras pessoas, especialmente gordos (as), quando estiverem a comer, e sinta-se superior por não estar comendo nada e ter seu corpo limpo.

35. Come pastilhas elásticas (sem açúcar), mantém a boca distraída e não pensas em comer (só no último caso.).

36. Se comer, tenta comer sempre no mesmo lugar, mas sozinho(a), sem ver Tv ou no PC. Comer em frente a Tv distrai dos sinais de estômago cheio, e provavelmente não vai reparar na quantidade que comer.

37. Se estiveres com muita fome sai de casa , visita amigos onde não pode comer a vontade.

38. Quando sentires dores de estômago da fome, curve-se e encolha a barriga. Pelo menos para mim funciona.

39. Tente comer algo calórico, mas saudável, (ex.: uma banana) logo de manhã. O resto do dia sempre que te sentir tentado(a) a comer pense nas calorias que já comeu e que mais comida não será necessário.

40. Lembre-se sempre de uma coisa, perder peso não é só um objetivo, mas também uma disciplina.

41. Como uma data de evento (casamento, formatura) na vida é preciso esforço e força de vontade. É necessário planear e organizar a dieta, e não desistir nunca.

42. Um dia desleixado na dieta não é desculpa para parar e engordar horrores. Desistência é desculpa de pessoas fracas. E você não é fraca, não é mesmo?

43. Durante os dias de NF ou de LF muito baixo, pingue entre 3 à 10 gostas de limão (com uma gota de zero cal, a gosto) em 500ml de água gelada. Vai te refrescar além de te fazer sentir melhor e queimar calorias! (agua gelada acelera metabolismo)

44. Se bater uma vontade de compulsão troque refeiçoes para não entrar em desespero! Por exemplo, ao invés de almoçar algo que você não está com vontade, chupe uma bala ou coma azeitonas por exemplo. Aprenda a balancear.

45. Evite passar perto da cozinha principalmente nos horários de comer em que seus parentes estarão lá.

46. Cuide-se. Faça uma escova no cabelo ou mude o corte por exemplo. Tudo isso te fará se empenhar no emagrecimento.

47. Estaveleça punições. Eu sempre ando com um elástico azul no braço daqueles de colocar dinheiro. Deu vontade de comer ou abandonar a anna? Aperte bem forte no braço, fique na posição fetal e puxe! Você vai se sentir melhor,acredite.

48. Arranje um namorado ou alguém especial. Uma pessoa que é importante na nossa vida, sem ser da família obvio, nos faz esquecer de tudo fútil, por exemplo, comida.

49. Ouça músicas que te encorajam a ser bonita!

50. Uma ótima forma de se inspirar é vendo fotos de quem realmente tem o corpo dos seus sonhos!

51. Escreva textos sobre como você gostaria de ser, e o que você faria se fosse assim! Te dará ânimo para emagrecer!

52.Compre aquela roupa perfeita a qual você se comprometeu a usar. Eu sei como é difícil domar a anna as vezes até porque eu sou uma! Mas entenda que não adianta você ler mil dicas e não fazer nada. Não só pense, aja! Não sonhe, seja! Ana, make me beautiful.

people often forget that 2 years (edit: it's more than 8 actually omgggg) have passed between Gerrard's departure and Bobby's arrival on the 118. which means a lot of years of off-screen friendship between Chim, Hen, Tommy and Sal. they're all making bets with each others and having fun and going to the bar together.

Hen and Chim like the guy, Tommy is a friend. they even got a cake for him ffs, and Hen shoved him in it playfully. i think this is a great proof of all the growth of Tommy and Tommy's relations with them

BUDDIE + cliché romance tropes

(original poll)

(happy birthday @oneawkwardcookie <3 ily)

[Image ID: eight gifs of Buck and Eddie from 9-1-1. They are colored various hues, and overlaid on top is one post from a tumblr poll of cliché romance tropes.

GIF 1: Eddie and Buck standing across from each other in 3.03. Eddie watches Buck kindly while Buck looks over at Chris before shifting on his feet to meet Eddie's eyes. The gif is colored purple on Eddie's side, and yellow on Buck's. The poll text reads, "Symbolic pairs (Sun/Moon, Heaven/Earth, King/Queen, Fire/Ice, etc.). Overlaid on the purple side is a wallpaper with moon and stars, and on the orange side, various designs of suns

GIF 2: A blue-toned gif of Eddie wide-eyed in the truck in 4.14, asking Buck if he's hurt. There is orange-pink gradient text on the gif, reading "are you hurt?" and "no, no, no, I'm good." The poll text reads, "'Are you okay?' asked by the bruised and battered one/'Thank God you're okay'"

GIF 3: A rose-pink hued gif from 5.06. Eddie is blurred out, close to the camera, gaze fixed on Mitchell with his jaw tight and angry. Buck, in focus, has his hand hovering up after being struck, bleeding from the forehead as he turns towards Eddie, looking worried. The poll text reads, "'Who hurt you!?'/murderous rage upon finding the other beaten up (bonus if quiet)"

GIF 4: A sea-green colored gif of Buck and Eddie hugging as they make up in 3.06. Buck's head tucks against Eddie's shoulder happily. Overlaid are red hearts. The poll text reads, "Cool-down hug."

GIF 5: A purple gif of Eddie exasperatedly telling Buck that he's telling him about the legal guardianship because Buck believes it would be better if he'd been shot instead. Overlaid over the purple is faint repeating text with Eddie's dialogue from the scene, "Because, Evan, you came in here the other day and you said you thought it would have been better if it had been you who was shot. You act like you're expendable. But you're wrong." The poll text reads, "'You better not die on me'/Scolding the other for trying to sacrifice themself."

GIF 6: A red-toned gif, blended with Eddie gripping the rope in 4.05 to help lift the container off of Sal, and Buck digging at the ground in 3.15. There's text from multiple dialogues that read, "Buck can you hear me? / We gotta go dig. / Hang in there Buck / Eddie, Hang on! / Do more!" The poll text reads, "'I'll follow you into hell' but also 'don't go where i can't follow'"

GIF 7: A blue toned gif, two scenes - Buck in 6.12 sucking in a breath, head propped on a hand as he turns his gaze up at Eddie, telling him he doesn't know how he is; Eddie in 5.14, watching Charlie make the rounds on the horse, not believing he could have a hand in saving the kid's life. Overlaid the blue are multiple lightning strikes. The poll text reads, "Hurt/Comfort."

GIF 8: Eddie telling Buck he can have his back any day, blended with Buck telling him he could have his. On Eddie's side, the gif is pink, and on Buck's, a sea-green. The poll text reads, "'I've got your back'/battle couple/absolute trust"

Pouge Princess

Rafe Cameron x reader

she/her

Rafe takes an interest in y/n as she’s working in her family’s food truck. Over the years Rafe has came just to see her but she doesn’t know that.

*not proof read or edited

Pt.2

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩

Y/n was a pouge, she lived on that side of the Island. She wasn’t exactly like how the stereotype describe them. though. She was in a somewhat happy family, kitchen table bills, well mannered and cared about her education. Her parents tried giving her the best they could and they tried to bring themself up and it was working.

Whenever they threw small party’s they would invite almost everyone, they loved their food and the family. Her family owned a small food truck in the figure 8 area. It was a drive but it was a smark marketing move they made. The tourists were a big part and the rich money hungry local families. They never really cooked or did any happy family matter thing. They had maids or butlers to do it and money to burn, so when it would come to their dinner or lunch they bought.

They made the best tacos in the whole island as a lot would say. They grew their own ingredients to make the sals, toppings, fruit. Her uncle working in a butcher shop who helped them buy fresh meat at a discounted price, an aunt who made their homemade juices/water and tortillas. Their whole family helped them with the business like saving up for the food truck and all working togther splitting profits.

Y/n worked some after school and weekend shifts. That was her way of getting her allowance of $30 a week. To a kook they would see that as cruel but for her that seemed reasonable. She saved and saved since she was 13 to buy an old 2000a Honda crv, her parents helped her obviously but she was able to pay for it 70% herself. It wasn’t the prettiest, it had some rust on the ends and it had about 107,349 miles on it but it was perfect for a starter car, and the gas was good. She got it when she was 15 and spent nights cruising and exploring the island with her friend John B, Jj, Pope and Kiara before John B got the Twinkie.

They met in elementary school but they finally formed as a group in junior high. When they hung out it was practically everyday. In school they would have lunch but then go straight to John’s bs house. Jj was the pothead of the group so when he got his money he spent not on weed, lighters, grinders and rolling paper. Sometimes he would ask y/n parents to pick up shifts for when he was running low on money. He wasn’t the smartest with money but “weed was his outlet” she tried not to scold him and let him be him. Pope was the straight A student, he was smarter than anyone she knew including herself. He was wise and had somewhat good judgment. Kiara the born kook yet chose the pouge life, she had a fiery personalit, and was a environmentalist. She was a nice sweet soul although doesn’t make the best decisions. And John b, the group leader. He was wise in his way, street smart and a strong independent. He had some walls up but he was nicest one out of all of them.

Y/n had her little shifts at the food truck weekend mornings and sometimes after school when it was in session. In the summer she would work longer hours due to the higher population and popularity due to the tourist. She didn’t mind, she made good money especially with tips. The older look men would leave $5 minimum and as well the boys around her age. The tourist $5 max because one it’s good food and two she was y/n. It was no lie y/n was pretty, the pouges, kooks and tourist knew it, she did too. She wasnt too cocky but if she knew she could get a bigger tip she would do it. It was sad to see some of the dude actually take it seriously but a hustle a hustle. She had her fans, Topper and Rafe being some of them. Topper loved the food and Rafe loved the view.

Since it was summer time y/n would work in a bathroom suit top and denim shorts, sometimes with a shirt but working in the small metal truck with a girl on 24/7 with the outer banks heat made it hot quick. Sure they had fans but they only did so much. Today was Saturday around 12:30pm, it was the busy and hottest time of day. Luckily Jj picked up a shift today helping her with the grill. They’ve made at least 3pounds of meat already and it hasn’t even hit dinner time. As a duo they make great tips. They older adult thinks he the one actually seasoning and stripping the meat even though it was pre marinated the night before which gives it the taste people like. The younger girls thinking he’s a hot blond boy wearing nothing but a white fitted tank top with his chain dangling when he would reach down giving them their food, tipping way more money then their parents gave them.

It hit 2:00 it was slowly dying down. They were able to turn off 1 grill out of the 3 and able to chill out. They were finally able to talk one on one and kept telling small things they noticed customers do like one kid studdering when they saw jj and an old lady struggling to count out her and the sweetest kid helping. They’re favorite is when the mom yelled at a poor girl for tipping $10 but not cause jj was hot just because she didn’t understand money. They were giggling away when their 2 “favorite” customers showed up.

“Welcome to Sunburn Siesta, what can I get you” y/n asked as she grab her notepad.

“Can I get a 5 carne asada tacos and a watermelon aqua fresca please” Topper said in the most adorable English accent making y/n smile a bit.

“Lemme get 5 shrimp tacos and a coke” Rafe said grabbing his black card out his wallet while staring at the boy at the grill. She takes the card swiping it and handing it back.

“It’ll be out in 5 minutes I’ll call your names.” Y/n tells them. As jj is cooking the meats, y/n heats up the tortillas and prepares the plates. She sets the drinks on the counter letting them know they can grab them.

They boys are good tippers and as much as jj wants to spit in their food he makes sure to make it to perfection. After a couple minutes the plates are ready and she calls their name.

“Topper and Rafe your order is ready!” She shouts placing it on the counter. Topper gets up from the picnic table early excited for his tacos.

“Oh my god y/n these smell and look absolutely delicious.” Topper complimented

“Thank you and enjoy topper” she gave him a genuine smile. Even though the pouges hate him he was by far her favorite costumer. He came for the food and the food only. He never once did a mean thing to y/n, he loves her family cause of the damn tacos.

They sat eating for 30 minutes and every so often y/n would catch Rafes looking at her. She continued taking and making orders switching with Jj so he’s not stuck behind the grill trying to ignoring the daggers she felt from the boy. After an hour they finally got up and Rafe got up to put their tip in the jar. He got at the counter and jj was on the register.

“Rafe what would you like” he said trying to be a good worker.

“Can I get y/n.” He asked sternly.

Y/n heard and came from the grill

“Yes rafe what would you like” she asked

“I just have your tip” he said with a small grin that looked actually meaningful.

“Yea put in the jar” she smiled knowing he’s always done that.

“No this is your tip.” He said getting closer to the girl. Y/n bent down grabbing it with her cleavage obviously being the only thing in Rafe eye sight. She grabs it and noticed it was a $50 bill and her eye lite up.

“Oh Rafe that’s too much..” she said softly to him. He was flustered just from what he saw. He may be the towns playboy but it sure as hell got him nervous knowing they were y/ns.

“Uh yeah no it’s right. You deserve it” he said with cheek a red making embarrassed eye contact.

“Oh Rafe thank you. This is so sweet! Here have a fruit cup for free” she said going over grabbing one of their home grown fruit.

“Thanks y/n” he said with a smile still blushing.

Topper soon comes up putting cash in the tip jar “there you go jj” he said with a playful smirk.

“$6 you really shouldn’t have” he said sarcastically with a hand over his heart.

“The $5 is for y/n, you can take the dollar.” He told him and walked away both rolling their eyes.

“I should get going. Thanks for the food it was great.” Rafe turned to y/n after the other boys interaction.

“Yea, start giving you discounts for now on Cameron.” She waved bye and he started walking away. “You’re my new favorite customer!” She yelled at him from afar.

He turned around and gave her a big wave smiling to himself. Oh boy he was in love.

Y/n fully unrolled the bill about to put it in her purse until she saw a small piece of paper fall out. She pick it up and saw it has writing

“𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 *********

𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦

𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 :)

-𝘙𝘢𝘧𝘦”

Y/n put in in her purse smiling and blushing. She stood there thinking about how she was just asked out in a date by the most wanted boy on the side of the island. As a pouge too. Jj snapped her out of thought as she got ready to prepared food for the customers. She was finishing her shift in a happy smiling mood. Jj noticed and didn’t ask but if he did y/n obviously wouldn’t have told him who knows what would happen if he found out she was friends with the enemies.

drawing realism is pretty funny because you start hyperanalizing your subjects' traits and find out fun details about them that you don't perceive at first (or originally thought of them differently)

anyways here a list of dnf anatomy details that i've collected through intense studying:

1. dream does not have a large jawline actually. his top one is just completely straight, and his bottom one has no side downward curve. usually human skulls will have the top jaw sit at about a 30° angle, but his is just flat. it makes his bottom jaw look a lot more out. this carries all the way up to his forehead too. his bottom jaw is also almost completely straight from the mandibular angle to the chin.

2. george has THE HIGHEST CHEEKBONES. he just has an equally wide mandibular angle (meaning, his jaw doesn't taper in as much), so it doesn't look like it until you compare his cheeks to his side brow bones

3. george also has very long lips horizontally, and a very angular chin, which gives him this constant almost pouty look, so when he smiles he just has a beautiful lip shape

4. dream has a very consistent beard. no splotchiness whatsoever.

5. he also has a mole immediately below his jawline on his right side (or the side of the ear that is not pierced)

6. one of george's eyebrows is significantly taller than the other one on the arch. the start of his eyebrows are also fairly thin and sit pretty low. (he is not escaping the eyebrow plucking/threading allegations imo, they are so incredibly clean)

7. dream's nose looks almost cartoonish from the side from how soft the curve is. from the front, the tip sits pretty low compared to his nostrils

8. george's is a little more hooked AT THE END (he does not have full hooked nose, his bridge is very inwards on the top half), and from the front the tip and nostrils sit at the same height. it makes it look kind of like a tiny wide triangle

9. they both have very long cupid's bows, george a bit more than dream (see late point 8)

10. "dream is puppy coded" and it's because his eyelids are diagonal in the same way puppies have diagonal eye curves ! he very literally has dog eyes

11. dream's middle lashes are very long, and they get darker as you go out. george's are long all around and VERY full. they both have pretty crazy bottom lashes

12. i am once again highlight george's bottom lip. what a beautiful man

13. cameras need to stop hatecriming dream's freckles. set them free. (they mostly sit directly under his eyes next to his nose. he also has some on his chin, it's very charming)

14. gnf comes from the miranda cosgrove school of fake wasians. having deepset eyes, extremely hooded eyes and consistent, very deep aegyo sal will do that to you. (i say this as an asian with much love). don't be scared to draw his eyes properly, he's not beating the wasian allegations, you're allowed to post your "concerningly asian looking" gnf fanart (whoever says this to you send them to me i will beat them up). that's just how he looks. just make sure his nose is right and you're good 👍

15. dream is a LOT larger than what you think in the horizontal axis. door width. huge forearms. his waist is just "small" (average male waist size). don't let it deceive you

that's all for now i'll reblog with more as i find them have fun arting

tem umas dicas aqui zoadas, que são até risiveis de tão ruins. vou tentar esclarecer algumas coisas:

1. comer banana não te faz ter diabetes. quase fui de base quando li essa aqui! o único problema com a banana é que ela tem bastante calorias, em relação a frutas que são bem menos calóricas. fora isso, é super saudável!

2. o álcool é uma fonte de energia diferente de todas as outras, pois não pode ser estocado no organismo. como uma substância tóxica, deve ser eliminado imediatamente. assim, o álcool tem prioridade no metabolismo, alterando outras vias metabólicas, incluindo a oxidação lipídica, o que favorece o estoque de gorduras no organismo, que se depositam preferencialmente na área abdominal. ou seja, dá uma maneirada aí nos drinks e na cerveja!

3. peito de peru e presunto SÃO alimentos ultraprocessados e ricos em sódio. então cuidado com os "sanduíches naturais" com esses dois.

4. é muito provável que você vá engordar depois da dieta do ovo. porque não só é restritiva em excesso, como explora só um alimento. a chance de você ter um episódio de compulsão é enorme porque você passou uma semana comendo uma coisa só.

5. caldo de galinha? sério? vamos voltar um pouco pras aulas de biologia. o sódio precisa ser cuidadosamente controlado porque em excesso vai causar aumento na pressão arterial e retenção de líquido. a ingestão diária de sódio no nosso corpo deve ser em até 1500mg e um tablete desses tem 22299,9mg.

6. que história é essa que coca zero é melhor que suco, gente? de que submundo vocês tiraram isso? os aditivos que são colocados nos refrigerantes zero causam inchaço! pode até não te engordar, mas vai te deixar inchada. o suco não! e nem vem com esse papo de açúcar porque eu fico doida. basta você escolher uma fruta pouco calórica e não acrescentar açúcar de cozinha no suco. eu tomo suco de laranja todo dia porque, além de tudo, fortalece meu sistema imunológico.

7. se vai usar molho de salada, faz o seu! não é tão difícil. bater um maracujá com um pouco de sal, por exemplo. os molhos prontos são cheios de aditivos.

8. cream cracker tem gordura trans que não ajuda em nada no seu emagrecimento. prefira uma fatia de pão integral (presta atenção na quantidade de açúcar e na proporção integral).

9. sopa de água com caldo de galinha, melhor comer lixo tóxico. já falei da quantidade de sódio, então agora vou falar das alternativas. pega um tomate, corta ele em pedaços pequenos e coloca pra cozinhar com água e sal. eu adiciono cenoura pra dar uma equilibrada na acidez do tomate, não precisa ser muito e nem faz diferença porque a cenoura tem baixas calorias. tempera como você costuma gostar. quando sentir que ele tá mole, você vai e coloca tudo no liquidificador e bate. pronto, uma sopa que você vai ingerir poucas calorias e não tem lixo nuclear dentro

antes de passarem informações, pesquisem. uma fada morre sempre que inventam uma nova fake news alimentar.

Acapulco necesita muchísima ayuda. Tras el paso del huracán Otis, el famoso paraíso guerrerense quedó terriblemente afectado. No hace falta que salgas de la CDMX para apoyarlos. En diferentes puntos de la capital se han montado centros de acopio que estarán recibiendo productos y víveres.

Eso no es todo, aquellos animales que viven en refugios, también merecen recibir ‘una patita’ de ayuda. Aquí te decimos cómo puedes aportar y dónde.

Centros de acopio en CDMX para ayudar a Acapulco

1. La Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), anunció que abrió un par de centros de acopio a partir del mediodía de hoy, jueves 26 de octubre. Están ubicados al lado de las astas bandera del Estadio Olímpico Universitario y en el Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco.

2. En horas recientes fue creado el perfil de Instagram @hazelbienxaca por la activista Saskia Niño de Rivera. La iniciativa destinada a reunir víveres tanto para personas como para mascotas damnificadas del puerto. El centro de acopio está en la calle Sierra Gorda 495, Lomas de Chapultepec, alcaldía Miguel Hidalgo. De 8:00 a.m. a 6:00 p.m.

3. El restaurante ‘Degú, cocina de casa’, también ha instalado un centro de acopio. Estarán reuniendo víveres en la calle Huichapan 25, en la Condesa, muy cerca del Parque España. Enviarán un camión a Acapulco con todo lo reunido el día 3 de noviembre. Más información en su Instagram: @degu.cocinadecasa.

4. Atma Yoga, estudio con 2 sucursales en CDMX, también se unió a Degú e instaló centros de acopio, ubicados en la calle Yucatán 69, colonia Roma Norte y calle Goldsmith 38, en Polanco.

Por su parte, la Cruz Roja Mexicana anunció que en las instalaciones de la Sede Nacional recibirán productos para los afectados. Se localiza en la calle Juan Luis Vives 200, Colonia Los Morales Polanco, alcaldía Miguel Hidalgo. Todos los días de 8:00 a.m. a 8:00 p.m.

¿Qué cosas debo llevar a los centros de acopio?

Aunque toda ayuda sirve, es recomendable primero revisar comunicados o redes sociales de los centros de acopio para tener conocimiento de los artículos que recibirán o que son de primera necesidad. En general, se está recolectando lo siguiente:

Para el hogar: escobas, cubetas, cloro, jabón en polvo, guantes de plástico, fibra, cepillo tipo plancha, limpiador para pisos, jalador, recogedor, franelas y jergas.

Alimentos: aceite, arroz, frijol, lenteja, azúcar, sal, agua embotellada, leche en polvo; enlatados como atún/sardinas, café soluble, chiles, mayonesa y mermelada; en sobres como sopas de pasta, cubos de consomé, harina para atole y chocolate en polvo.

Higiene personal: rollos de papel higiénico, jabón de barra, pasta dental, toallas femeninas, zacate, toallas húmedas, desodorante, pañales, rastrillos, peines, cepillos dentales y toallas faciales.

Artículos de primeros auxilios: gasas, vendas, suero, agua oxigenada, alcohol, desinfectantes de heridas, gel antibacterial.

Herramientas: carretillas, barretas, palas y picos.

Ropa en buen estado.

Cobijas.

Ayuda a un refugio de Animales en Acapulco

Porque los seres humanos no fueron los únicos que vivieron el devastador paso de Otis. Cientos de perros, gatos y demás animales también severamente afectados, por lo que ellos también necesitan ayuda.

La organización comunitaria ‘Patitas Felices Acapulco’ se encarga de proteger y salvaguardar a animalitos en situaciones vulnerables en su refugio temporal. Ahora, están pidiendo ayuda para poder comprar alimento para las mascotas y para poder reparar los daños de su refugio.

Si deseas ayudar, puedes hacer un donativo a las siguientes cuentas, a nombre de Elsa Cristina Salgado Gama:

Spin de Oxxo: 4217 4700 4909 3640.

Banamex: 5256 7833 6571 9690.

Papas gratinadas con carne picada, espinacas, tomates y queso (para 8 porciones): 5 papas medianas 150 g de queso en rebanadas 1 cucharada de aceite de oliva 1 cebolla finamente picada 1 diente de ajo finamente picado 500 g de carne picada 2 cucharaditas de pimentón 1 lata de tomate triturado (395 g) 1 cucharadita de pimienta 1 cucharadita de sal 240 g de espinacas frescas 2 cucharadas de perejil picado para decorar

1. Pela las papas y córtalas en rodajas finas para cubrir el fondo y los lados de un molde rectangular (aprox. 30 cm x 11 cm).

Tip: para evitar que se peguen al hornearse, forra el molde con papel de hornear 0 engrásalo generosamente con aceite. 2. Cubre las rodajas de papa del molde con queso. 3. Fríe las cebollas y el ajo en una sartén con un poco de aceite. A continuación, añade la carne picada y sazona todo con pimentón. 4. Añade los tomates triturados, sazona con sal y pimienta y finalmente agrega las espinacas. Deja hervir a fuego lento durante unos diez minutos 5. Pon un poco de carne picada sobre el queso que está en el molde. 6. Cubre la carne picada con rodajas de papa y coloca otra capa de queso encima. 7. Pon un poco de carne picada encima otra vez. Repite el procedimiento hasta que las capas hayan alcanzado el borde superior de las papas. A continuación, introduce más rodajas de papas en los lados del molde para que las capas alcancen una mayor altura. 8. Por último, cubre el molde rectangular con rodajas de papa. 9. Hornea durante 70 minutos a 185 °C con la circulación de aire activada. Deja que se enfríe brevemente y dale la vuelta al molde para que las papas gratinadas se vean como una "caja".

Antes de comerte, decora las papas gratinadas con perejil. Además de darle un toque de color, potenciará los sabores de este gratinado.
