I've Been Learning To Like Foods That I Was Scared Of Or Thought Were Gross As A Kid, And It's Kind Of

I've been learning to like foods that I was scared of or thought were gross as a kid, and it's kind of fun.

For the longest time I thought bell peppers were something that I would only enjoy cooked. Same with tomatoes, but I'm starting to like them both raw too, now. Toss a couple sticks of bell pepper on a wrap, some sliced tomato on a burger. It's nice. With both of them, I had that initial fire alarm in my head going "Nooo this is doing to taste bad, Do Not Put That In Your Mouth" but I shoved past it and found it wasn't so bad. Little successes in life.

And sure, maybe I still only like the bell pepper sticks in wraps, and the tomatoes have to be sliced pretty thin (or salted), but I'm trying new things, and eating more vegetables, and I think that counts for something. Maybe my next Brave Adventure will be trying to eat onions raw too

I say this with love: trying to communicate effectively with Neurotypicals is so strange.

Asked the pharmacist a question about lozenges for a sore throat and while I was (paraphrased) asking "Can I take more than 1 lozenge because sometimes the first one doesn't coat the spot that's a little bit sore (read: kinda scratchy and a little bit irritated)" she seemed to understand my question as "Hey, my throat hurts so badly that I need to take multiple lozenges to fix it, what should I use?" despite me reiterating it didn't hurt, it was just sore, and that I didn't need something stronger, just that I needed something to coat it better.

Does 'sore' and 'hurt' really mean the same thing to them? Cause in my brain, sore is a mild inconvenience, but hurt is something that needs immediate attention. I don't get it

A family member of mine had surgery recently and hearing that them and their partner have been feeling a little Not Great trying to keep up with everything, I went into my stash of meats and veggies I've been building up in my freezer for a while to make them a bunch of meals so they could have one less task on their plate :3

I managed to make a total of 20 meals for them, 4 plates of 5 different kinds (Stir fry as well, but not pictured here as they picked that one up yesterday before I was done cooking everything) and a lemon cake for dessert!

Took me 15 hours cause I'm a slow cook, But I'm really really proud :D

A loving reminder that if you are so disabled that you cannot work, and especially if you are getting some kind of government assistance because you cannot work, and especially if you feel guilty because other disabled people have to work: You are not lazy. You DO deserve to indulge in things that bring you joy.

You are a government employee and your Full Time Job is to keep yourself at a minimum baseline of Alive and Not Miserable.

Your job is to watch videos that entertain and engage you.

Your job is to play video games so you can keep some kind of joy in your life.

Your job is to rest as much as you physically can to conserve energy.

Your job is to cook for yourself and take joy in it if you find it joyful, even if that's the only thing you can manage in a day.

Your job is to make yourself as comfortable and stress-free as you can, even if that means bed-rotting.

It is what you get paid to do. Because being disabled IS a full time job. And it's hard work.

Be kind to yourself.

"Hey! Let Me Help You!"

"Hey! Let me help you!"

Drew my SkyKid. I saw so many artists posting their skids and it made me really motivated to draw mine again!

If I had to give him a name, I think it would be something like Empathetic Bodyblocker, because my absolue favourite thing to do is jump in frint of krills and tank hits that might have otherwise got other Skids hurt

I gave him the injury from Wounded Warrior's mask, both because I thought it was fitting, and because I frequently wear that mask if I'm not wearing Saluting Protector's mask!
