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

The competition was fierce, but after all we've been through in this series, they managed to introduce the most unlikable character in season 5: Alanis Wheeler. #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

Snack: the hummus trio from Bengal Barbecue is a nice way to get some veggies on the go. The black bean hummus is so unphotogenic but still tasty (and slightly spicy), I’m not totally sure what the green one was (avocado? green pea? still tasty!) and the other was red pepper. 🥕🥒🥦🍅 #vegan #obvs

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

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

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. 🥴

The coffee shop put out flowers for #ValentinesDay so now I’m on a cute little date with my laptop. 💕

I’m in my stress-baking to dissociate era. 😬🍞

Can’t beat these egg prices: I used whipped aquafaba as my egg, which is just the leftover liquid from a can of chickpeas. It’s basically a free egg. 💫🤑 #vegan #veganrecipes #eggs #veganbaking

Ended my workday at a local coffee shop, writing thank you notes & emails to my #vetschool recommendation letter writers, letting them know I didn’t get in this cycle. 🥲

Done with my client visits for the day — just one dog walk and one drop-in visit. It’s a little rainy today, but we stayed (mostly) dry! 🌧️ #petsitter #dogwalker #dogs #dogsky #DITL

Currently: Sending my last few requests for letters of recommendation for my master's program. When I submitted my app to #vetschool (the application itself was pretty daunting) I was SO relieved and hoped I would never see these squares again. Lo and behold, the CSU grad app is the exact same. 🥲
