on more bridgerton discourse I think it's fine if Penelope has a physical relation with Lord Debling (or not). The reason is not so she can get "revenge" on Colin but so Bridgerton can stop the cycle of "this man fucks so often and so frequently he's basically a god" and "woman who has never had a sexual encounter before him." it would be especially refreshing because Penelope is finding herself and what she wants. is it going to happen? no, but it's really weird to see everyone so obsessed with her chastity.
if Colin is going to be whipped for the girl that called him a beta cuck and his little sister a communist bitch I think he can handle not a virgin. like I'm supposed to be fine with him crawling shirtless into the carriage with his baby brother gregory in the passenger seat after some threesome sexcapade or whatever and then Penelope can't even have a horny makeout with another guy? for what? for what purpose? being obsessed with virginity in romance is just annoying. a messy girl boss like Penelope should be allowed to make romantic mistakes too lol.
I've bizarrely seen people try to say that you don't support the romance if you support Penelope having sexual agency and having any encounters with anyone but Colin (during the period where he's claiming to have no interest in her?) And I don't understand how wanting parity or equality in a relationship means not supporting it.
Wanting Penelope to try to move on and give feelings for another man (or woman - hello toxic yuri Peloise 👀) a real shot is not anti-Colin like that is such a juvenile mindset. Tbh I also somewhat don't want this to happen because I think it risks engendering unnecessary in-show drama and I'm very uninterested in seeing it on my screen but I also don't care. nobody should care 😔 it's about the execution of sex or kissing or whatever scenes and how they relate to the story that make them good or bad - not just whether or not they happen & you happen to ship the couple at the time

why am I still giving off “talk to me about Star Wars” vibes. why is this always happening to me. what god did I piss off. also WHY does it always happen with the most generic SW shirt possible, it’s happened like four times with this one t-shirt alone.
(normally I know better than to wear a SW shirt out of the house because FOR SOME REASON I attract Men Who Want To Talk About Star Wars, but I wasn’t expecting to go anywhere today. also no I didn’t destash all my SW shirts, this is like 3/4 of my t-shirt collection and no one wants old t-shirts.)

START THE DAY WELL
🌞 Starting the day right begins with a nourishing breakfast! As someone who understands the importance of time management and self-care, I've learned firsthand the transformative impact a good breakfast can have on our overall well-being.
Picture this: you wake up feeling refreshed, ready to tackle the day ahead. Instead of rushing out the door with an empty stomach or grabbing a sugary snack on the go, you take a moment to nourish your body with a balanced meal. Whether it's a hearty bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh fruits, a protein-packed smoothie, or whole-grain toast with avocado, each bite is a conscious choice to fuel your body and mind for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
But it's not just about satisfying hunger; it's about setting the tone for the entire day. A nutritious breakfast provides essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber, giving us the energy we need to power through our morning tasks with focus and clarity. It helps stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing mid-morning crashes and mood swings. Plus, research shows that people who eat a healthy breakfast tend to make better food choices throughout the day, promoting long-term health and vitality.
Beyond the physical benefits, breakfast also nourishes our soul. It's a moment of calm amidst the chaos, a chance to practice mindfulness and self-care before the demands of the day take over. By starting our mornings with intentionality and mindfulness, we cultivate a positive mindset that carries us through even the most challenging moments.
So let's make a commitment to ourselves: to prioritize self-care from the moment we wake up. Let's savor each bite, appreciating the nourishment it provides not just to our bodies, but to our minds and spirits as well. Together, let's embrace the power of a good breakfast to fuel our journey towards health, happiness, and success. 🍳✨ #BreakfastGoals #WellnessJourney

Sigeumchi-Namul/Korean-seasoned Spinach is so damn good and I really need to just start making some and leaving it in the fridge to eat through the week, cause it's so low-spoon and keeps well and is delicious cold~
Just blanch some spinach (boil for 30s-1m minutes then rinse in ice cold water or run under cold water tap), press the excess water out of it (either squeeze it with your hands or find some good weight to press it with. I'm thinking leave the spinch in a strainer in the sink and put a glass bowl full of water on top of it but i haven't tried yet). You might want to bunch it into a cube and chop it a few times (the amount of chops depending on how big a batch you've cooked).
Then season it with soy sauce (or coconut aminos and maybe add salt if soy-free), toasted sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, minced garlic, chopped green onion, and, optionally, add some gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) or silgochu (shredded Korean red pepper) if you want some heat. Even regular black pepper is good in it if you don't like the spicy pepper heat.
I haven't tried, but it probably works well with frozen spinach too, just thaw it according to directions and then season as above. Probably takes longer to thaw than cook, but easier on clean up that way.
The amount of seasoning will depend on how big a batch you make, but start low then add more. Sesame oil is strongly flavored so start with a tsp. Maybe about .25 more soy sauce than sesame oil, but your taste will vary. It should taste nutty from the sesame oil and a bit salty.
