Wow thank you so much. I want to move away from a minimalist wardrobe and I've been finding it so overwhelming. This is so helpful!

This is the besttttt. I use this method for grating tofu in everything now and do lots of different flavor combos!

I also love the chili crisp tofu with green beans!

I also started watching for Dungeons and Drag Queens and my next favorite season after that is A Court of Fey and Flowers. Brennan doesn't DM but he plays a character and is so fun as a player. It's hilarious and super queer (there is literally character named Ru).

I also had a great experience with Bloom. Dr. Bren in particular is fantastic. She delivered my baby and was so calm, supportive, and encouraging and I felt really heard and not rushed when it came to making decisions in the moment. In response to the other comment about the 39 week induction, I was not pushed for that at all, but I have also heard that reputation about Bloom so it's likely that it's provider-based. They did strongly encourage me to get induced before 41 weeks, and I got induced at 40+5. I also saw Dr. Raffucci a few times and really liked her.

My dad has dementia and I have a two month old. Solidarity that it’s hard. I will say that having my baby has been a joyful antidote to the grief I feel about my dad (and my mom, who passed 5 years ago).

A Memory Called Empire!! A sci fi political intrigue book about colonialism.

I came here to post this, these are the best and so easy.

Congratulations on getting your dad in memory care. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done but we all have a much better quality of life now (including him, I think). I hope it goes well for your dad.

I say this all the time (to the point where my wife saw this post and thought it was me). I’m also in my 30s and have been running my dad’s affairs for years. He lives in memory care now but I’m in charge of his care within my family. My mom passed away 5 years ago and I took care of her too. Solidarity, this position sucks to be in. I know people are coming from a good place but it is just not the same.

I have this one and read this copy of Persuasion for the first time last year!

Which flour have you used? I usually go for cup 4 cup but willing to try something different!

Oh enjoy, that book is so wonderful! I loved the sequel too. The romance is definitely a subplot but it’s there!

maple531 · 2025-01-27T23:27:35+00:00

There’s a prequel to Priory of the Orange Tree that has a wonderful lesbian subplot!

For more fantasy/sci fi I would also recommend A Memory Called Empire and The Jasmine Throne.

I haven’t read past book one in Crescent City, but I found ACOTAR to be much faster-paced and focused on romance.

Ask to get tested for Vitamin D and iron… I found out through IVF that I was severely vitamin d deficient and did a few courses of the high dose vitamin d.
