this weekend i visited a beloved local cafe/record store and they had a bathroom labeled "Gay Bathroom". when we complimented the sign the barista said sometimes shitty people ask if there's a different bathroom they can use, so they have a second one in the other room labeled "Super Gay Bathroom"

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

and at the very least individual bags of some of these flours do probably add up to less than $15 if you make more than one loaf of bread. esp if you buy them from asian/african grocers instead of health food shops

theloopywhisk.com loopy whisk will not entirely solve your problem bc her bread recipes require several different types of flours (she does often offer substitutes so you could def shop around for the cheapest) but if you want to make truly god tier gf bread she is THE source

love the pop psych adhd advice I've been seeing lately of "when you're having trouble switching tasks or focusing, have a piece of sour candy" you're telling the group of people without the impulse control to not eat the entire bag and go into a sugar crash and feel nauseous to just have a piece?

Yeah, I recommend not using the patreon apple app to join. Just go on the website, it's 1. cheaper for YOU to support your favorite creatures and 2. All the money you give goes to the creator.
I'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me

TLDR: Apple is forcing Patreon to remove the "per creation" model in order for their app to stay within their app store.
Don't forget! Anyone who signs up via the Apple store based app of Patreon has to pay gigantic fees anyways so I really, truly do not see the point of it. At all.
