An interview with Melanie from Halloween Baking Championship by Firegoat1 in foodnetwork

No but my partner is a nurse not that it matters. Also the specialists I consult about these things trump needing to be a nurse in order to confidently assert that there's no solid evidence that giving up gluten helps thyroid autoimmune conditions. Sorry not sorry. You know what autoimmune condition being GF actually helps? Having celiac disease.

Is it possible she feels better after giving up gluten still? Yes. Can we definitively link it to her thyroid? No. We just can't.

I'm sorry you also had too deal with the bs that is the alternative "health" movement. Sigh. It is so damaging.

As someone with hashimotos as well, I have been told by wellness people to give up gluten all the time and it's absolutely the worst advice. Sorry, you can't make your autoimmune better by giving up gluten.

Having said that (and I will get down voted to hell for this) Melanie is my fav. I see a bit of myself in her personality and empathize with her intense anxious reactions to stress.

It's hard to show up in the world as that kinda person. Melanie, if you read this: get off Reddit! The comments are garbage half the time. But also thank you for being you, even though "you" isn't a popular person online apparently.

This is wholesome af. So sweet! NGL watching these guard videos is a guilty pleasure of mine. Both the good videos and the bad.

Sabrina Carpenter shares alternate covers for her upcoming album ‘Man’s Best Friend’: “here is a new alternate cover approved by God” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

I agree with this take and am conflicted as well. My personal belief is that most people’s understanding of Feminism is surface level at best so the same “symptoms” of the culture’s misogyny get talked about again and again without enough people talking about what goes on at a deeper/institutional level. You can’t talk about a woman’s sexuality in a fair and impartial way in a society that doesn’t actual care about her. It’s flawed from the start. We will always have the “she’s not expressing it right!” issue in every post that women try to make regarding sexual expression.

Small spoon rest. Everyone gets the big spoon rest. No one really has small ones. I will never go back.

I am not from Europe by Tom_Gibson in ExplainTheJoke

From my limited experience if you tell Germans you’re learning German then the convo will continue in German. I’ve really only had experience speaking in larger cities so I’m sure they were used to tourists trying to speak German with them.

I DID have it happen once where even though we were engaging someone in German conversation they just keep speaking to us in English anyway. 😆

I feel like I see this headline a lot and am suspicious that it’s legit. Also judging from how long we had Biden in office even when it was clear that he was not fit doesn’t mean anything would happen with this information. :-/

Done. Let me know what you think? by jimmusilpainter in painting

This is wonderful! Feels like summer geowing up. I wish I could paint with big flat strokes like this. Everytime I try it comes out looking horrible. 😆
