I missed being such a good influence.. Like being able to plant seeds of certain knowledge and then watch it grow with that person(s) weeks, or a mere month later an them being like "I'm doing x y z now." Idk, I feel good that my mind is capable of doing actual good again.

Me: We need to stop talking about this. Friend: mam are you getting untucked talking about him rn?!?! *8 mins of uncontrolled laughter ensues*

I realized with my last food post how insensitive it was for me to not include various types of cheese breaded length. We'll cheat today and I will be using the American Bosco Stick. A bosco stick is beautiful cause it has so many various lengths.

Novelty: I normally don't recommend taking these in one bite. Mostly for safety sake, and recovery can be a process that isn't worth it if you wanna eat more later. Really work every inch similar to commercial, use your hands even. Sometimes cheese bursts a little early so make sure to eat that up.

Always make sure to eat with safety. And if you are eating with friends. Always give a little eye contact and smile cause that acknowledgement of a beautiful meal between friends, or maybe lovers. It makes for a romantic wonderful evening of dining if parties see and hear each other *fully*. :3

Snack size: For fun we'll take it in one go if possible really feel the warm cheese fill your throat. Usually a pretty enjoyable experience if done right. Consumer: I usually just give the tip of the breadstick some love sometimes you drool and it runs down so makes it easier, this is cozy.

Commerical: really this is base to tip licking just to get an evening coating before you eat it. Really allows the flavor to rest on your lips so you can enjoy the full flavor as you won't be usually taking this in one bite till you're more trained, but it is possible.

You have your snack variety: 4-4 1/2inches consumer stick 5 1/2 - 6inches And if you're really pushing it you have your 7 inch commerical stick. Now if you're seeking breading and protein from a stick larger than that you're going for more novelty cause 8 inches is a lot, and safety important.

Now the same technique for not choking *basically* applies across the board, but how you engage with each one should be different in order to get maximum consumption from the moist flexible bread in your grip.

When I get the *mozzarella stick* stuck in my throat I just relax my throat, let the tension from the base of my throat unclench and let the mozzarella slide down, don't panic. Calmly breathing through the nose, look up. Full eye contact if eating with a friend for support. Follow for more advice

I'm a pansexual trans woman with ADHD who a quarter of the time is progged to the gills. Be happy I can make a decision EVER! And stop getting grumpy at me when you ask me what I wanna eat.

I live by two things in this world. 1. My general vibe to how I protect my community. 2. My politics. That's why I am where I am, while being who I am.

Fuck they made an anime specifically to drag me in.

There are many labels that make it hard to socialize and build relationships with people. Decoupling negative connotations people have is a life long journey. You feel like even a slip up is scary, if you're a professional you have to actively be your best 24/7. It's an EXHAUSTING process.

I'm probably realistically one of the less resource needed BPD individuals. I've been moderately successful in my life. But there is a spectre that just haunts you. Knowing one shift causing it all to collapse. I've actively have/had hid knowledge of my BPD from others to avoid judgment.

I think this small but revealing rant is me trying to be more open about something I keep hidden in hopes I can improve my future even more. Learning that I don't have to be that person anymore, and that I am worthy of even love. Maybe with this, others will be free too. -Selvain.

For example; I have borderline personality disorder. And I've had people actively tell me they can't talk to me or be friends with me upon learning that. Not that I did anything or something happened. A strong social stigma that label gives me, "forces" others to JUDGE me as a person.

Today marks 3 months of some serious sobriety. Granted I do yoga 5 days a week in my workout area now but it's probably better to do that. So I guess namaste or something. Later.

"Selvains personality is a dog, no a cat!" Puppy girl this, cat girl that. Some are even bunnies, foxes and deer. Bitch I'm a Cougar coded woman. I was branded and raised in these woods hunting my next meal for years, y'all don't even know.

I feel like I need to start posting my girl bits in swimsuits or something so I too can end up on an RNC jumbotron someday... I kinda feel like THAT'S goals now?

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban. It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada. Subscribe to support our journalism.

My fellow Trans people, never doubt your power, just do shit. I'm literally working on a co-op project rn because I got tired of fearing for the future. I just took my reigns an said "fuck it." I filled out some documents an gathered some members I trust.

It's not always easy, and it won't be. But I fundementally see the creativity and sheer will power to survive that my brothers, sisters, non conforming siblings have. Today is your sign to break the cycle of doom scrolling and just take a chance.

Well today was appearntly the day my body decided yah that 2.5 mg tablet has been distributed enough into my body. And now I want to put a hole in the ground in a way I haven't felt since pre HRT.

The thing that always amazes me as the SWERF attitudes that exist in some sex positive spaces. They won't outright say it, they use certain language that is hyper coded against sex work or they are socially rude to those who they think "pay for sex or porn". It's clear they view that consumer low.

It's important we combat this cause it will help breed better outcomes for everyone. They'll be forced to be honest. Sex workers can make friends that respect them an their work. And consumers don't have to fear judgement. And doing so starts with small conversations like this.

Support SWers if you consume their content or services, and destigmatize use of their content and services once more. As it's fundamentally a form of fighting the isolation and patriarchal structures of you guessed it, capitalism. It always ends at that. Anyway love you, love yourself buh bye.

Viewing another as below them for paying to consume as if it's a passive background game or some kind of admission of "failure" for the consumer. All while making sure they iterate that "they would never". These people push a social understanding of a negative view of SW and SWers.

Ima be real I watched this recent VRC exposed BS and it really just feels like the same far right freaks who think they are doing Journo shit but they don't have the education and it shows in the dude being a weird VRC Nick Shirly type lol. Use better Opsec, keep positive.

I think my reflectiveness to not be able to relax and turn everything I do into commodifiable work is really a detriment to how I see and build relationships. I see this in a lot of the sex positive communities I run in. People immersed in the culture BUT not within effects of former full service.

I think that's going to be my decoupling project for next few years. But it's gonna be hard, and cost me a lot of time or understanding with people. But I gotta get out of the "SWer survival mode" that was drilled into me so well by ghosts who taught me everything to be where I am today.
