It’s political, sir. Apparently he wants a return to the values and traditions that made the city great, sir.”
“Does he KNOW what those values and traditions WERE?” said Vimes, aghast.
The golden pheasant is a bird native to forests and mountainous areas of China, although feral populations have been established in
the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Australia, and many other countries in Europe and South America.
The male’s deep orange “cape” can be spread in display, appearing as an alternating black and orange fan that covers all of the face except its bright yellow eye with a pinpoint black pupil. The female is a more subdued brown, shown in the foreground of photo 6.
When both her ears are flipped back like that, it usually means she’s been naughty. This time it was stealing my laptop wrist rest. #naughtymonkey #dropit #thiefpug
Nearly every year, for the past thirty years, Frances Goldin has gone to New York City Pride holding a sign that reads, “I adore my lesbian daughters. Keep them safe.” (x)
“Since the beginning of the parade, I’ve been going and waving my sign,” Goldin said. “It sort of hit a nerve with people, particularly those whose parents rejected them. The response to the sign is always so great — it urges me to keep going.”
“Everybody would come running up to her and cry, kiss her, and say, ‘Would you call my mother?’ or ‘Would you be my mother?’” her daughter, Sally, explained.
“She’d take down names and addresses and write letters to these kids’ mothers!”
When asked about all the young LGBT parade-goers who have begged her to speak to their own mothers, Goldin replied, “I think I changed a few people’s minds and I’m glad about that. Everyone should support their gay and lesbian children, they’re missing a lot in life if they don’t.”
I know lots of people would be thinking, “OMG, you took healthy healthy vegetables and ruined them!!!11!”. With a decent bit of the food I’ve been posting for a while, actually, not just those battered and fried pakoras.
(I have to work to get around that type of thinking myself a lot, tbh, with the ED always lurking in the back of my mind. Hell, I went seriously orthorexic with a very low fat vegan diet, way back when. Not suggesting that’s the case for everyone, but it really can be, in a fairly socially acceptable way.)
But, not only is it tasty and none of anyone else’s legitimate business? Actual lifehack, in this case.
For medical reasons, I am needing a lot of energy–and without going very heavy on the carbs–to try to avoid losing more weight I just don’t have to spare. I also know I personally feel better eating a good amount/variety of vegetables.
What can quickly turn into a low priority when you need plenty of energy, can’t eat that much at once anymore, and also don’t have a lot of spoons available? Right.
Getting enough energy has to come first.
Even when I cook the usual types of vegetable dishes, I have been running into problems with filling up on other more energy/protein dense stuff before I get to the (filling) veggies. Even when I was really looking forward to it, I haven’t been eating much of it. Because priorities to keep my body going.
One workaround? Make the veggies more energy (and preferably protein) dense too. Incorporating them into other dishes more, using more rich sauces, straight up frying them, you name it.
Pretty much win-win under not great circumstances. To get more varied nutrition into my body. Nobody should need to explain why they’re doing things which don’t really affect anyone else–but, this is a reminder that usually people do have their own reasons for doing things even if they’re not obvious to bystanders.
Now with slightly better lighting: I did indeed just reheat some of last night’s pakoras for lunch.
And that was about a third of what was left 😉 Snacks for later!
Welcome to language where all the words are made up, that’s right every word you’ve ever used or will use was made up at some point in time whether it was hundreds of years ago or last week, and they somehow came to represent a thing, person, or idea, communicated and understood by entire civilizations
