Sunny Italian Smoothie

I love a good tomato soup—the rich flavor, the meaty melt-in-your-mouth feel, the way it fills you as much as it warms you…. I can’t believe I waited years to make my own (vegetarian) version. But when it came to a winter-friendly smoothie, the tomato soup vibe wasn’t working for me. I wanted something lighter … something that felt like a sunny day. Thus, Sunny Italian Smoothie was born. While I…

something that really pisses me off is this headcanon that ice would have been or was against mav pulling bradley’s papers for the academy.

like i’m sorry but I need some of you to think for a second. this is a man whose jet wash indirectly also led to the accident that resulted in goose’s death and probably carried that guilt for half his life too. this is also the man who was there to watch mav and carole grieve for the brother/husband they lost for YEARS. not to mention he was close to goose as well since they were both at the academy. like he would have wanted to protect bradley just as much as mav did when he made the decision to pull the papers. it’s a dumb moment for both of them but again. 100% they would have both thought they were doing the right thing for bradley.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

you know i always think it’s exciting when fic authors are willing to try new interpretations and make brave and unusual claims about characters (this is about jack being a better cook than quinn) (in all seriousness, it was very good)

i am PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES. apparently jack is learning to cook so he can keep luke fed? i saw this somewhere but i cannot find a source bc obviously any research results are just the broccoli incident all the way down but despite the tenuous claims i am choosing to believe it, because it's more fun for me that way. do we know if quinn can cook? i just assume the answer is no unless there's evidence otherwise. at least jack has a demonstrated history of like, probably not burning the house down. also thematically i wanted the jack gets what he wants because he makes an effort point 😂

anyway thank you!

Mexichili Magic Mix

I know the name doesn’t make linguistic sense, but it makes meal sense. At least it makes more sense than “Cinco de Mama,” the name coined to describe the mash-up of Mother’s Day and Cinco de Mayo celebrations I used to throw for the family when I lived in Florida. The recipe that would become Mexichili Magic Mix was conceived for the first such celebration.  Mexican cuisine is a year-round…

CW: not a positive post, some very realistic worries about what it is to be trans in this country during this time period

.

.

.

This is such an absolutely terrible time to be a trans person in the United States.

And it was oh so predictable; it's not a win by far, but I called this years ago, around the time that Trump took office. Back then, I was accused of catastrophizing; today, Roe v. Wade is only a memory and the Republican party has united against a new target: the trans community and trans healthcare.

It was always the next logical step in the fight against a legal right to bodily autonomy and privacy, the fight to legally impose Christianity on all of us. Without Roe as a call to arms to "protect babies" from "murder", now we must "protect our daughters" from "gr**mers" and from "irreversible damage".

They'll succeed too. I have little faith that the left will successfully organize against this wave of anti-trans hate. Not only is the legal system rigged against us from the local level all the way up to the Supreme Court (should any of these potential laws be challenged that far), not only do we not have the media and public opinion on our side--we simply don't give a fuck. We're too busy silencing our own, canceling each other, and discoursing over petty shit that never really mattered.

I predict that, for much of the country, by February 2024 this will be a very different country to exist in as a trans person than it even is today. Many of us are going to lose our access to gender affirming health care, we'll be erased from libraries and curriculums, in some places our very presence in public spaces may be criminalized.

I have very little hope, honestly. I find myself planning for the possibilities. Which states might I have to travel to to access care? What kinds of laws have been proposed in nearby states recently? Should I leave my family and my job of 5+ years to move out of state? Can I leave at all when I'm literally a caregiver for a disabled parent? Where would I even go? If it comes down to it, will anyone be able to track the fact that I've medically transitioned in the past? Will the state be able to discover that I've been diagnosed with gender dysphoria? Will I end up on a list somewhere? I'm certainly relieved that I've never changed my name or gender legally; will I ever be able to?

I've had to limit the amount of time I spend reading news and even scrolling on TikTok (because my fyp has a ton of videos about anti-trans laws) because I've literally worried myself sick recently.

Trump was in my state a few days ago, already campaigning again, on an anti-trans platform. A preview of things to come. He seems to be fully and totally on board with the Christian Republican agenda; I suspect he's hired himself some better advisors this time around. Already he promises to elevate the anti-trans legal agenda to the federal level.

His supporters couldn't be more thrilled.
