Hi Souper Cubers!
I wanted to ask what your experience was with freezing cooked greens. I wanted to sautee up a bunch of kale or maybe even arugula with garlic and then just microwave a cube when I want it. Has anyone done that? Was it still pleasant to eat after thawing?
I have some websites blocked or time limited on my phone through screen time. This used to block those sites with DDG as well as safari. But now it seems to not work on DDG. I like having my privacy through this browser. But I do have some self-control issues with certain websites and apps like social media and I find the screen time limitations really help. any suggestions on what I can do to remedy this?
I have no clue what I’m supposed to do about this. I’ll want to post something on a subreddit and then when it automatically gets removed, it just says “Reddit’s filters have removed this post”. I have no clue why or what I’m supposed to do about it. I read the community rules to see if I violated anything and as far as I can tell, I haven’t. Also the number of views on that post still go up. how is that possible if it’s been deleted??
I've finished this season and I found Drea and Nessa's story interesting. To be honest, I don't really think their work is anywhere close to done but they do seem to be at least going in a good direction.
We see throughout their relationship that they've clearly fallen into set "roles" where Drea is sort of the one who receives care and Nessa gives it. This is addressed in certain ways through the show - primarily through getting Drea to gain independence. But I think there is a sort of undercurrent of heteronormative gender roles/expectations that plays a part in this, and I don't think Drea has really confronted that. Nessa said it once at the end where she talks about the little girl who didn't get to be vulnerable and cared for (she even used the adjective "pink"). I think that was actually a really important statement, and at least from what we saw, neither Orna nor Drea really understood the gravity of the statement.
I do think part of why these roles played out in their relationship is because there has been an expectation of the femme being waited on and cared for and pursued and then the masc being the one who provides and sacrifices for her.
Sometimes this is an issue for queer women where some other queer women have not fully unpacked their hetero-dating expectations and sort of still expect to be courted and waited on without giving the same in return. And I do think that for Nessa, she has probably also felt suffocated by that in more ways than just the logistical.
I bought some Zimi Valve masks to try and they certainly lessen the sweat and heat on my face which is nice. But I can’t lie, I’ve been nervous when wearing them. Nervous that they might not be protecting me. But I don’t know if that’s just based on personal nervousness instead of anything founded in truth.
