I know things are hard now, but if you just keep pushing through, and faking it till you make it, you’ll get to a place where you’ll feel better

question, why do delicious cakes cost so much to bake? okay cakes are cheap, but delicious ones cost like 30-40$ to get non pantry staple ingredients for
Take a cake mix from a box. Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Duncan Hines, whatever the hell is on-sale.
They usually ask for you to add in some water, some cooking oil, and egg whites.
Fuck that bullshit.
Instead, replace water with milk (or buttermilk), use butter instead of oil, and use the whole goddamn egg. Toss in some extra vanilla extract.
If you want to make it a bit spiced, add in some cinnamon/nutmeg/allspice
Want to make it gently lemony? Zest some lemon peel into the batter.
Want it extra dense and moist? Add another fucking egg, half a package of vanilla pudding powder mix, and make sure to whip that batter extra hard and long.

You can stick with the oil if you want to, it has its place in baking. Butter has a higher water content and has a slight flavor that it adds to cakes, so some may prefer the taste of cakes made with oil. Oil is also a good substitute for people with dairy sensitivity. For the most part non-dairy milk will work just as well as cow’s milk. Eggs can be replaced with applesauce (¼ cup + ½ tsp of baking powder per egg).
me at 15: when I’m 25 I’ll have my life together!!!
me now: at…..45…..maybe I’ll be doing…kind of ok by then
I apologize if I ever was a toxic person in your life, I’m maturing more everyday, correcting my wrongs and slowly but surely becoming a better version of me.
Someone said “not all men” to me the other day…
That’s not the point. This story right here is the point. It could be ANY man, so we are wary of ALL men.
one of the least helpful things ive been told as a neurodivergent person is “don’t half ass things”
if you can quarter ass something, do it! if all you can do is clean a corner of your room, or only read one of the two assigned chapters, or write the heading for your resume, or put all the papers for taxes in a pile, do it! if today isn’t a whole ass day, take pride in the portion of ass that you were capable of
don’t let neurotypicals work ethic define how you did today
honestly this info/post is so so so important.
like i have lived in my new appartment for about half a year now and my autistic ass would never have cleaned it even once if i hadn’t allowed myself to halfass my cleaing.
instead of waiting for a day (that would never come) where i would have the energy and executive function to clean all of it, i took it one bit at the time. one day i might vacuum the kitchen. another day i might dust the livingroom.
you don’t have to do it all at once. it’s ok to just do a little bit.
This is honestly so important
Which vegan milks are best for the planet?
“Producing a glass of dairy milk results in almost three times the greenhouse gas emissions of any non-dairy milks, according to a University of Oxford study.”
The end of the dairy industry is coming.
anyone remember those betty crocker infomercials they played on cartoon network in the like the early-mid 2000s for no reason
there was also the chocolate factory commerical
My whole body just experienced deja vu
compilation of people treating genderqueer like it’s not a legitimate identity because it has the word “queer” in it, and everyone knows you can only be queer if you’re gay or binary trans //s
@dreamyluigi-discourse @lesbie-vague @anna-of-course @ace-leafeon @feminismandmedia
since people are saying “but there’s nothing wrong with the ones where people want different identities!!1!11! you’re a fucking transphobe” I’d like to point out that:
a) genderpunk is not a replacement for genderqueer, you’re probably thinking of genderweird (because queer used to mean “weird”)
b) they’re not just saying they want different identities, they’re still treating identities they don’t even have as useless and generally unhelpful to others, which is (u guessed it) transphobic and queerphobic
c) they’re still censoring genderqueer, which is both unhelpful to people who use xkit (it typically has to be the exact word spelled out or you’ll be exposed to your triggers) and extremely queerphobic.
like. if you’re traumatized by the word queer, you’re not even gonna wanna THINK about the fact that it exists, and seeing a post with one or two of queer’s letters knocked out to make it “less bad” will feel like a slap in your face.
just say what you mean (queer, not “”q*eer””, “”qu**r””, or “”q***r””) and you’ll save a lot of people (queer iding and traumatized) from heartache.
