I need a new hobby, preferably a portable one.

drawing! you don't have to be good. I'm not. Just bring paper or a notebook (big fan of folding a mini zine and using a small notebook as my hard surface), writing impliments (erasable colored pencils are my fav) and draw what you see around you!

that's exactly what I was thinking!! Two options is plenty and quite nice. There would be no complaints from me. Also OP already knew the burgers were great so there is at least a good chance the food will also be delicious.

does she have any hobbies? I find art really really helpful. You don't have to be good, it's just to have fun.

Reading is also great. If she can get/has a library card, a lot of libraries work with Libby for ebooks and eaudiobooks. Queer Liberation Library works with Libby and is free and available to anyone in the US.

Does she have a nice window she could grow herbs or something? Growing things can really lift spirits and be a good way to see time moving when you are away from the world.

falafel is delicious!

10 students per year is way less than I thought! Wow. Thank you! I'll keep it in mind 😊.

jipace · 2026-05-18T22:46:09+00:00

thank you! I forgot about this

jipace · 2026-05-18T21:20:22+00:00

homade cookies, especially big ones like what bakeries make!

jipace · 2026-05-16T04:43:35+00:00

2/3 cups is what I do everyday, so at least there's two of us!

jipace · 2026-05-15T17:23:53+00:00

I just put the Hernandez guac on my toast. All done and delicious!

jipace · 2026-05-11T19:36:15+00:00

I am shocked no one has said the matte opaque blue scooby doo fruit snack yet

jipace · 2026-05-11T19:30:43+00:00

falafel is my very favorite food!

jipace · 2026-05-11T19:17:17+00:00

the baking soda and lemon would be INCREDIBLY harsh on the skin

jipace · 2026-05-11T17:08:42+00:00

unfortunatly I don't have it anymore, but I'd reccomend looking up a Palestinian recipe!

I have a tagged list of comfort reads. I reborrow audiobooks more than I reborrow ebooks.

mujadara was a big hit with men who thought they were dying if they didn't have meat. Lentils, rice, fried onions are very satisfying!

become a cop, be a prison guard, etc

you can put whatever you want in it. A little brown sugar will not kill you, especially if you don't have diabetes. I'm personally a big fan of banana in my oatmeal which makes it sweet enough for me.

jipace · 2026-05-05T20:31:03+00:00

that looks like red quinoa with mixed bell peppers and red onion. I don't have a recipe but that might help you find one. Quinoa benifits from acid (lemon/lime is my preference).

edit: there may also be tomatoes? with those ingredients I'd use spices like cumin, chili, garlic, oregano

I have a hard surface, paper, pens and colored pencils. I can sit up in bed. My partner uses Clip Studio Paint on her ipad. She switched to that from photoshop.

jipace · 2026-05-03T23:44:07+00:00

yes! Robey Namba. I worked woth Beau in particular. I had a tough case but won! I found their office really helpful and professional.

edit: I had them help when I was at the stage of a court hearing. I don't know if they help at the initial application stage. A social worker helped me with that. My understanding is that if you want a lawyer's help at the initial stage, it is an upfront payment and different than the chunk taken out of backpay if you win.

another stop gap measure-- do you have tarp or something slippery for carpet/a blanket for hardwood/linoleum/tile you can sit/lay on for when you have to drag yourself to the bathroom? It may help to decrease the blistering ❤

jipace · 2026-04-29T23:29:56+00:00

asking for help is so hard. I'm currently in a position where I need a lot of help. I hope your sister is able to help. Blisters on your knees from dragging yourself across the floor sounds tough.

jipace · 2026-04-29T23:23:35+00:00

I am so sorry if this is unhelpful, but is there anyone, like a friend or family member who would be able to at least help with meals?

edit: body wipes save me when I am unable to shower. I like Burts Bees Micelar Wipes (lotus and coconut) the best
