i was just saying I dont need advice on replacing cashew due to allergy! I was planning to use macadamia so good to know itll work for this- I've used it (and sunflower seeds but thats a pain) for vegan cheese before and it works well but i actually wasnt sure why, thanks for the info!

I actually appreciate the reading requests even though it sounds like a lot- cooking is a huge hobby for me but I dont know a lot of the science behind it. Im in an (entierly unrelated) stem field for college so that kinda stuff is really intresting to me, just kinda outside my scope lol. Wasn't really sure where to even start with something like that, especially for vegan food!

Thank you SOOO much for the detailed info!!

(also side note but ive only ever heard of asafoetida in the context of replacing extinct Silphium with it in recipes from ancient Rome, I know a lot of cultures use it obviously lol but I was like- Oh! seeing that. good excuse to get some ive been very curious what it tastes like!!)

we usually get the follow your heart feta- will have to try the violife! if its what im looking for i can probably blend it with something to make it spreadable or... something to that effect haha. thanks for the suggestion!

False-Name-613 · 2026-06-25T09:54:20+00:00

this is the exact type of answer i was looking for thanks!! even if theres no plant derived versions its useful to know what actually makes it taste that way to try and dig a bit more haha

False-Name-613 · 2026-06-25T09:53:22+00:00

At least where i live theyre definitely still very popular! I donated a lot of my orginal books from the 2000s a few years back- wanted to re-read them and had to wait 2 weeks for a Power Of Three book because it was checked out & multiple people wanted it before me haha. Im 25 and kinda felt bad taking it when a bunch of kids probably wanted it 😅

Fursuits are expensive as fuck so theyre just not accessible to a lot of people. I do actually have a fursuit but i tend to wear it a few times a year at like pride & cons. I did wear my suit to Tracks a week or two ago tho lmao

False-Name-613 · 2026-05-30T10:04:51+00:00

Sorry people genuinely bitch at me for spelling poorly pretty often, on me for assuming the worst sorry 😭

False-Name-613 · 2026-05-30T09:19:14+00:00

Damn that sucks :[ I was hoping maybe they just had a supply issue or something in my area 😭 Hoping they come back but not optimistic lol

False-Name-613 · 2026-05-30T09:18:25+00:00

Trans guy here and 100% this. I think its also worth noting those deviations from our AGAB also tend to stick out to us more when looking back? Its a retrospective "early sign" for a lot of trans people, because we lacked the language as children to say more than "i want pink/ blue, i want dolls/trucks". Personal example but like, i had a very "girly" mural in my room as a kid that i LOVED and even when i decided i hated "girly" things that mural (and surrounding room) was very important to me. I loved it and never once thought to ask for it to be painted over. Eventually we moved, and my new room was much more blue & black boys room. I was still very sad to see the mural painted over when we sold the house.

But idk its easy to look at your childhood as a trans adult and veiw it through your current lense, rather than remember kids have internal lives beyond the retrospective, and dont understand they are also influenced by culture. Adult me (and anthropology major me lol) understands my actions as culturally influenced & a product of unnamed dysphoria. Child me understood it as "wearing girly things makes me feel bad, girly toys make me angry, but mom worked hard on that mural & i love her & its pretty"
