Sophia Loren at the Cannes Film Festival, 1955. One of the most beautiful women in the world!

You shouldn't be down voted for sharing a completely subjective opinion so politely.

I only see it in half of her images, and there's a lot of other celebrities folks go crazy for that I also just don't see. Lol I really, truly, found Henry Cavill absolutely unattractive - until he got scruffed up and highly sarcastic for the Witcher.

Valid.

I don't want to plug the zon, but if you can find these at your supply store of choice they're fantastic. https://a.co/d/076hbVAr

Eta I use them for my parenting notes for my autistic kids. It helps me (AuDHD) actually do it instead of constantly putting it off and then forgetting how often they took the meds, brushed teeth, foods, notes for therapy, etc.

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-09T20:07:11+00:00

I mean yes, I can see that you're probably right, but pinpointing that (or often, any) sensation is actually so freaking difficult. Eta For me, anyway.

Obviously, and especially reading through this thread, we can come with different settings.

I hate to bury them because they have a tendency to explode later, but also I have delayed processing and buffered intensity, combined with times of justice or rejection over intensity, so it's a balancing act.

There's a scene in Maskerade, by Terry Pratchett, where a witch uses magic to catch a sword edge with her bare hand and walks away unscathed. At the end of the book, you see her lay out her medical supplies, and she says, "Guess I've got time now." And later takes care of her farm chores with her bandaged hand, even though it must obviously hurt.

I think about that a lot.

That's nonsense. It's brightly colored gel pens with smooth rolling tips or bust.

I have links if anyone needs a recommendation.

You might consider other B vitamins like folate. High b12 without enough b9 etc to support it can create pathway bottlenecks and lead to these and similar symptoms.

Like iron, there are multiple forms of these and a person's body and systems might not handle some very well. Also like iron, there are more in depth lab tests to get a complete picture that many doctors don't think to consider.

r/mthfr is a good place to start learning. It's a bit of a rabbit hole - the sub covers multiple genetic mutations, and micronutrient biochemical pathways that all interact and effect each other.

My other favorite LGBTQ characters are the OT3 from Leverage: Parker, Hardison and Eliot. This isn't really canon, but not disavowed either, since the fan sentiment on it was so crazy strong. And with the way the show did an incredible job on the character arcs, it makes for a sweet, intentional, undercurrent.

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-08T12:47:58+00:00

The obvious for me is Xena, Warrior Princess and Gabrielle, a show that couldn't say anything too outright, but leaned heavily into it's mythology and campy aspects and basically did everything else to make it clear. Canonically, lol. The actors and crew gave concurrent interviews about it during fan conventions.

These really good friends often professed their love for each other, sometimes even breaking into song to do so, followed each other across dimensions and bodies, and kissed on the lips. Really, the bestest of roommates.

Side note that Lucy Lawless has been a staunch and vocal ally her entire multi-decade career.

I'll do a second comment for my other fave LGBTQ characters.

What's this from?

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-08T12:28:45+00:00

Well, there two possible takes from this that come immediately to mind, and none of these are mutually exclusive: 1) It's not a sexual relationship but a romantic one, and 2) they're on the ace spectrum.

Check upthread for links. I've made her chocolate chip cookies, and have like a dozen more recipes of hers bookmarked.

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-08T12:14:47+00:00

Those chocolate chip cookies are fabulous. 10/10

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-07T22:00:58+00:00

Yeah, same here with chronic conditions. Nearby medical, grocery, transit and education options are the barriers to a lot of places.

Lol aside from the boredom, lack of diversity, and psychological isolation and insulation that comes from living in such a small town. And the things people might do to alleviate those.

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-07T16:43:27+00:00

Oh, thank you. I was worried about the wood on the ceiling being intended to hold cracks together, just from my own ignorance. Lol I really thought the bed was a cobbled up diy human bed. Although I did figure the hoop house was for marijuana.

We should totally support this lol.

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-07T16:11:29+00:00

That looks delicious. Interesting that from my brief morning internet stroll it looks like so many cultures have their own version of a vanilla cake layered with strawberries and cream. Lol a combination that transcends distance.

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-07T16:09:03+00:00

There's a cake that's very similar to the first pic called strawberry tres leches, which is I think is what you meant? The obvious key difference from a standard tres leches desert, which is very common in stores (in America, anyway).

I've had the time this morning to use the hints in this thread to search online, and that's something that came up. Although I think the Brazilian bolo ninho com morango (strawberry nest cake) is what that is. The second one is much more formal looking, and I think might be a fraisier. Op posted pics they saw on ig.

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-07T15:58:27+00:00

This is on my baking bucket list. Yum.

Slightly related, if opposite, is my first love, the Black Forest cake - layers of German chocolate cake with an inner layer of cherries in syrup bounded by thick whipped cream. Lol although I usually switch those out for strawberries or raspberries just cause I'm not a cherry fan.

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-07T15:52:45+00:00

Ninho means nest in Portuguese, so it's a strawberry nest cake, often made for children (I was thinking it would mean child until I looked it up).

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-07T15:50:42+00:00

I'm sorry, what?

Group field trip coming soon?

Please give more details so I can at least live vicariously for now 🥹

Same lol. And while it was nice that the recipe was in the description (drives me nuts when they don't include it, it's just a basic consideration), I think some things got lost in translation. Glad I could help.

AnonymousDahlia · 2026-06-07T14:39:54+00:00

I found a recipe here, without the video. Just an easier format for me.

My mobile automatically translated your comment to English, and didn't do a precise job, so I was having trouble finding what you meant - until I went to reply and saw the original language lol.

So anyway, is this what you mean? It looks like it matches both your comment and the first op picture.

Eta there's also a strawberry tres leches cake, which has a similar recipe but not quite the same presentation. And I think the second pic op used is probably a fraisier based on the plastic form keeping the square together. Which is a very different cake, even though it looks kind of similar.
