going out for brunch and nails with a friend tomorrow so doing various errands today before my partner and i veg out on the couch to some edibles (for him, i’m not allowed rn bc of health stuff unfortunately) and a movie. should be nice!

it’s crunchy, and it’s so much more convenient than peeling it off every time…

as an omnivore dating a vegetarian who doesn’t eat meat for ethical reasons i am so, so excited!!!

fish heads… they’re just so much cheaper than the rest of the fish and delicious in the air fryer. also i’ll eat the tails on shrimp.

style savvy announcement or i riot

salami chips?? i’ve never even considered this concept, fascinating… also i have a super bizarre pregnancy appetite going on right now so if it’s not a triple processed carbohydrate i’m considering it a huge health win haha

my favorite thing is places that have a 20% gratuity automatically added to every bill to compensate employees fairly (i am begrudgingly accepting of this even though it should really just be on the menu price) but then have an extra line for tip on top of that. and sometimes that extra tip line calculates a tip for you based off of the already added 20% gratuity. insane.

that sounds so delicious and fresh!! thanks for the recipe : )

i always have cans of chickpeas on hand, can’t believe i haven’t made these before!!

happy first comment and thanks for the idea!! i love wings and definitely need to eat more carrots so def gonna give this a try.

korean egg rice: crack an egg into a bowl of rice and mix with sesame oil and soy sauce, microwave for 2 min, sprinkle some furikake on top if you’ve got it and you’ve got a solid comfort food in like 5 mins tops

well… i’m here and i have a 401k i check twice a week and a honda civic, so now?

poly bridge 3! very chill but still stimulating game where you get a variety of maps and scenarios to build bridges in. i did have to watch two hours of bridge building tutorials because my knowledge of physics is abysmal but if you passed a physics course in high school i doubt it’s nearly as challenging.

there are two main types of sunscreens, chemical and mineral sunscreens. mineral sunscreens tend to feel less absorbent and will leave you with a white cast, while chemical sunscreens absorb more easily and do not use a white cast as they have different ingredients. they also tend to have very little fragrance. this seems more in line with what you’re looking for from a sunscreen. here is the chemical sunscreen i use - i just buy a huge tub of it so i never run out (and because the big bottle price is actually quite reasonable) and can use it lots without feeling bad and it’s never bothered my sensitive nose or left a white cast no matter how much i sweat! it’s also spf 50 so fairly strong.

i took a look at babel because i loved yellowface but i thought it looked a little daunting haha, you’ll have to let me know how it is if you end up reading it!

picked up yellowface by rf kuang and finished it the same day. recommended it to my partner, who also devoured it in three days.

highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy, juicy (in the way of reality tv, so a little anxiety inducing also) read that’s about ego, publishing, the literary establishment’s treatment of minority authors, the actual mechanisms of being cancelled, and the perils of being Extremely On Twitter. a very fun summer read.

absolutely backing up persona 4 golden, it’s such a treat especially if you liked persona 5! every so often i wish i could play p4 for the first time again, such a good game.

i’m mourning it a bit, but to be honest i think it’s going to be a bit difficult for me to get off for a while until other places (aside from facebook, which i’d much prefer to avoid over the current iteration of reddit) have the same amount of niche communities. for example, i’m in a private pregnancy subreddit with other people with my same due date and it’s reallllly useful in comparing notes and feeling like i’m not going insane at any given symptom and i think it’ll take a while for a place like lemmy to have an audience big enough to build niche communities like that.
