New on the #Disneyland Blog: Tried the grain bowl at River Belle Terrace! Sautéed garden veggies, heritage grains succotash, tofu, & herbed vinaigrette. Super tasty! 🌱 Check out my full vegan guide to Disneyland at www.vegandynamite.fun#VeganFood #PlantBased #Blogger #VeganSky

On a recent trip to the parks, I recalled how Disneyland helped me work through anxiety, panic attacks, and sensory sensitivity. I’ve been sharing my journey on Patreon, including pursuing an #autism diagnosis & career transitions. More at patreon.com/vegandynamite#MentalHealth #Disneyland #Vegan

Update on my #CoffeeBreakup: Currently on day 10. I felt great the first 2 days, but at the end of day 3 I got hit with what felt like COVID symptoms. Fever, chills, aches, fatigue that lasted about 24-36 hours, then sharply tapered off. I learned this can be an effect of caffeine withdrawal.

I've had some health symptoms triggered by anxiety so I decided to take a break from coffee to see if it helps (it has in the past). Morning I felt fantastic. 3-4pm felt like I could slip into a coma. It's almost 6 and I'm feeling pretty good again. Looking fwd to melting into my bed tonight. 💫

Rewatching The Handmaid's Tale to prep for season 6, and I've noticed I'm extra careful crossing the street ever since Alma & Brianna. 🥺🚂 #handmaidstale #thehandmaidstale #handmaidsonhulu

I may still be recuperating from writing it, but I am pretty proud of this one. 😮‍💨 My personal statement just dropped* on Patreon, and kicked off a new series to help me (and hopefully help each other) get through the highs and lows of the week. 👻

*sorry it’s not something cooler like a diss track

The outcome of your PhD is not your thesis, it is YOU.
If AI writes your thesis, (a) you will have a shit thesis, (b) you basically went to the gym and got a machine to lift the weights and you came out with legs like cheesestrings, (c) you paid money and got nothing back.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.

TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

For dessert: the new blueberry cobbler from River Belle Terrace. This was a very fruit-forward version and I’ve seen others order this with lots more topping 🥲 but I still loved mine as-is! #disneyland #vegan

Had some delicious dishes at Disneyland this week, starting with the deviled meatball skillet at Riverbelle Terrace. It didn't make me yell MUSTARD but I was def thinking it quietly to myself. ☺️ Full vegan Disneyland food guide below. #vegan #vegansky #disneyland

Made some revisions to my Disneyland vegan food blog today, including a few new items, updated prices, and menu links for convenience. Will be in the park tomorrow to add another review or two! #vegansky #disneyland

Came out to one of my professors as ✨probably autistic✨ today and it felt good, so I thought I'd do it here too. Also found a therapist who seems like she really knows her stuff to finally do my assessment this year. LFG #AutisticWomen

Social media has been a struggle for so long as a #SmallBusiness owner–I used to love other platforms, but in recent years I've felt invisible. The community on Bluesky has been a breath of fresh air. If you'd like to learn about my work, check out @theanimalacademic.bsky.social. 🐾💙 #AnimalBehavior

You've heard a lot about "executive orders" lately. But what are they exactly, and what do they mean for parks?

NPCA's #CrashCourse series explains more about executive orders and other terms you should know as a park advocate: www.npca.org/resources/37...

We’re breaking down the processes, the agencies, the acronyms and the systems.

We’ve got 4 weeks til the 5k, and the kids are getting VIP solo walks to help me get more consistent steps in. 10k/day sounded great yesterday—we’ll see if I can keep it up! #dogsky #10ksteps #5ktraining

(1/3) As a v-day treat to myself, yesterday I grabbed supplies for a DIY hair update. 💜🩵

When I moved from pet sitting to dog training, I gave up my trademark turquoise & ended up staying blonde for over a year because I thought it was more professional, and people would take me more seriously. 🥴
