I made this stir fry the other day and it tastes good but something about the noodle texture is a little off (I probably overcooked them), and because I'm so burnt out, I can't eat it.

The wherewithal to soldier through overcooked noodle texture is gone unfortunately. Maybe my mum will eat it. I don't like to waste food.

I really am so tired. I should just stick to safe foods. All I want is the easiest food.

Trans women do not have 'male socialisation'. They don't benefit from it. They never had it.

The behaviours people ascribe to a trans woman's 'male socialisation' is usually either her being assertive (women, ESPECIALLY trans women should never be assertive /s), or being vocally angry. This is just transmisogyny and misgendering using feminist buzzwords. It says to the trans woman that if she wants to be accepted as a woman, she must be demure, quiet, and accept the scraps given. That she cannot self advocate.

Stop saying that shit.

Update to my request for non minty remineralizing toothpaste! Thank you a for your help.

After doing some research it seems I can pretty safely use kids toothpaste that's for 6+ years old. Baby toothpaste has 500ppm fluoride, while kids has the same as adults, 1450ppm. My dentist okayed this.

For anyone looking for your own use, look for kids toothpaste with 1450ppm F, and preferably no SLS (sodium laureth sulfate) which gives the foaming effect.

You can buy unflavoured toothpaste but it's hard to come buy. After researching I've found I can use 2 or 3 different supermarket products, which is so much more convenient than ordering online.

I looked into fluoride tablets, and they are not used or recommended anymore (at least in Australia).

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Here is the original post for anyone curious. Check the comments for the suggestions I got. https://aus.social/

I can't remember where I read this. But telling mentally ill people to eat well and exercise to boost their mood is like giving someone a new pair of scissors that is still in the packaging. The person needs scissors to open the new scissor packaging. This is not a helpful thing to do at all.

"Why do autistic people like trains so much?" 🚄

Look I am not a train autistic, but it's undeniable that trains are freaking cool. Trains are interesting, and maybe if more NTs were train people, more cities would have functioning public transport systems. Just saying.
