So, my new 'apartment' has no kitchen.
This is obviously not something I would have chosen, but it's what was available within a reasonable distance from work.
I've bought a steamer/rice cooker and an induction ...whatchamacallit... a plug-in stove burner basically. I need to get a table for counter space and then I'm good to go, washing dishes and stuff in the bathroom is okay.
Anyway. The point of this post is: I'm a boring cook anyway so this isn't a big deal to me. HOWEVER I do want to be *a little* less boring. One thing I realized at my last place is that ever since I moved out of my parents' house I've had a very limited spice cupboard. No wonder my meals get boring, I have like. Two possible flavors I can give them.
So I have a request: recommend me a seasoning!
#I do plan to like. Look for some recipes online. Maybe stuff I've made before where I skipped some stuff bc it wasn't worth buying to use#only one time#but I though this would be fun#there are a lot of good restaurants around here but I am not eating enough this past week only eating out#I need to be able to cook at home so I can eat dinner at 6 pm and then have the leftovers at 8 pm#Or for lunch the next day#and also I don't like many restaurant vegetables#ALTHOUGH this one lady has a stand in front of the supermarket selling fried stuff#and she will lightly fry broccoli - no breading just broccoli in oil - and then put some fantastic seasoning mix on it#and I will probably be getting that every time I get groceries

#it drives me completely insane how both foreigners and Germans act like supermarkets closing at 8 pm and on Sundays is reasonable and normal#IT'S FUCKING FOOD#IT'S ESSENTIAL#''but people should not work on sund–''#firstly why the fuck not#I loved working on sundays#you get a weekday to yourself to do any appointments in the morning and don't need to ask for a day off#AND#you don't expect emergency workers to not work sundays right???#FOOD IS EMERGENCY#I'm sick and tired of constantly starving myself because I was too tired to buy food after work#and my executive dysfunction wouldn't let me buy anything in the morning#i CONSTANTLY beg myself to get my ass up before lidl closes#and always end up sprinting to the store to grab a frozen pizza 5 minutes before closing#like in Prague I managed to get to the store before it closed at fucking 00:00#and I STILL had problems#I'm gonna get a fucking ed here in this goddamn country#this is unreal to me#is everyone here completely mentally healthy#doesn't have depression or adhd or some other thing that prevents them from executing their to-do list accurately??#seems unlikely

rohan campbell as corey cunningham [X]
#corey cunningham#rohan campbell#when i tell you this clip makes me silly stupid i mean it#theres something about him that's just so *ahhhhhhh*#he's so well built. like broad shoulders and broad hips. the hint of a tummy. his fucking pecs ?!?!#i know this is technically rohan because it's behind the scenes#but this is pre accident corey to me. the pouty lip. the breath in when he closes his eyes. ugh.#the reserved emotion of it while still showing enough on his face for it to feel intrusive to look at him#literally moments before disaster. corey who goes home every day to joan but still has hope. had hope.#plus. every day i mourn not being able to find that tshirt anywhere#i *think* the track jacket might be vintage irl ?? based on what they say in the ends commentary#but the t shirt !! man idk it feels like i should be able to buy it off a rack in a supermarket (which i guess is the whole point)

The review embargo got lifted for Veilguard and, predictably, it’s a whole damn mess lmao.
You got people with legitimate complaints, people that were gonna hate the game no matter what because Reasons(TM) (also known as “It’s not Origins” lmao), grifters and tourists that are just fanning the flames because they’re so miserable that they can’t let anyone else be happy, people that enjoyed the game (and getting hate for it—or being called a shill/sellout), and fans being overly positive in reaction to the louder end of the anti-woke morons.
Anyway, friendly reminder that all reviews are just opinions from a variety of different people with their own biases, experiences, and perspectives. Ultimately, they don’t really matter bahaha. If you’re on the fence, just wait for gameplay videos to come out (no commentary ones are best) and see if it’s something you’re invested in or not.
#i find reviews generally pretty worthless honestly#for games that i don’t for sure know if i’ll like it or not just due to it being a new IP or a type of game i haven’t tried out before#i’ll usually check out gameplay first#because at the end of the day my own opinion is what matters when it comes to what i want to play#i mean shit i got into sleeping dogs after watching about an hour of a yogscast member playing it haha#same happened with supermarket simulator after watching the gamegrumps play it#both games i ended up putting a decent amount of hours into#literally only stopped playing supermarket simulator lately because i’m trying to finish inquisition before veilguard comes out xD#singull ain’t playing

#so it's Infect Your Friends And Loved Ones with the bit about 'everyone around here knows about you'#even if it's positive- the world pays so much more fucking attention to my life for being trans and it makes me.. shiver?#coffee clerk fumbled every facet of taking my order and the apology landed super duper sideways#'oh sorry! it's just that it's my first time helping *you* is all- just seen you around a lot before. you know.' yeah? know what exactly?#how's that supposed to make me feel? every month they hire someone new and we get to do the same tiring song and dance#another young-20s clerk that will not stop trying to make small talk w/me beats ones that only glare yeah- this isn't pain just frustration#and like YES it's better than the cashier that beats the shit out of my beers on purpose or crumples receipts to hand them to me#or the audible 'see- told you he's a man' commentary when he can see stubble behind a mask on days that can't bother me to shave#like the pharmacists at this supermarket make me well aware that nobody else gets their E here. the store knows the local tranny. great.#genpop cannot reliably be fucking Normal Abt Transfems to the point that it makes me wanna thank the rare coworker that just like.#doesn't treat me like anyone different or special or a threat or a curiosity or an object or a shot to gain social capital for being nice?#getting told by young-20s cis girls that calling me dude didn't mean anything b/c they're 'y'know! *also* [limp wrist mime] *girlypop!*'#hits closer to home than getting called a slur to my face because the latter asshole doesn't pretend to be my friend and just.#skips straight to making me a paper doll in their head of what it means to be me and shaped like me and dressed like me and it's.. slimy.#'everyone around here knows about you.'

Cishet macho dudes shouldn't be allowed in public without supervision by an adult who has learned basic manners and puts the macho dude in timeout anytime they are an asshole to others.
#Some dude bullied me at the supermarket checkout#If the cashier hadn't intervened I would have gotten the asshole so far as to call the cops on me#Because I was too close to him after he cut in line to take my spot at the self checkout he jump to when I was half a meter away#And I just refused to move from that spot until the cashier told me in a pleading voice that there is another free spot somewhere behind me#(Before the macho dude tried to trip me and then mumbled some stuff I couldn't hear but was probably not nice)#Just another day as a visibly queer fat person in a neighborhood with 18% AFD voters....

hey fun thing. fun thing I'm experiencing lately. is that the case which every terf journo in the fucking UK is freaking themselves about FINALLY being able to put on the front page - trans woman convicted of rape sent to women's prison - is uhhhhhhhh. really close to home? emotionally? for me? and it's on every fucking newsstand????
(obviously transparent as fuck every time that everyone's suddenly so concerned about the wellbeing of women in prison when all the same publications are usually in the CRIMINAL SCUM PRISONS ARE TOO SOFT TRAIN but OKAY. OKAY. since you suddenly care so much about female prisoners shall we uhhhhh idk address the rate of sexual assaults by guards? police? other cisgender prisoners? maybe rethink the whole 'prison' thing as a whole? oh this is just about how you think trans women are scary again? cool. cool cool cool.)
#red said#the commonality. not to overshare. is that i was raped in 2013 by someone who then went to court in 2015-16 following another incident#and that was a wake-up call for her about her increasingly bad drug and alcohol use and blackouts (which was what happened in both cases)#and so she started self examining on that and partway through the case she realised she was trans#and the thing is i know this bc despite what she did we were still friends by the time it went to court#i was a supporting witness because my experience was used as evidence that it was a pattern of out of control behaviour#anyway it dragged on for a while. even longer bc she was a us national in the us military so the civil case was dropped but#there was also a military investigation#which i didn't have to provide evidence for in the end but i was on the hook not knowing if i would need to for like. another 2 years.#anyway the transition aside there's a lot else about this case which resonates with my experience during that time???#and it sucked a lot going through that case and i would prefer not to have to think about it every time i pop to the fucking supermarket???#(also this is gonna sound bad but the thing i resent most about that whole affair was that during the case and her early transition#she leant on me for support a LOT? so i was doing all this trauma reliving and giving witness statements but also before and after that#she called me almost every day to talk about the toll it was taking on her. and i was like. i think you're right to talk about this#and i think you need support right now#but i also think. it's fucking wild that you think I'm the person to offer that when i just told you you assaulted me in a drunken blackout#like. my big Sick Trauma Feeling memories from that time are a) court and b) Oh No My Phone Is Ringing Again#anyway. this is a big trauma dump that may be misinterpreted which is why i don't talk about the case that much?#but this is part of why i hate terfs so much. the insistence on treating an individual's shit behaviour as condemnation of All Trans People#makes it Really Fucking Hard for those of us who've experienced individual shitty behaviour from a trans person#but recognise that that's just a statistical probability based on how many people do shitty things in the population at large#to talk about harm we've experienced without being coopted to a genocidal narrative

Oh God the musical theater is breaking into my dreams there were literally songs happening, I BROKE INTO SONG TOWARDS THE END OF THE DREAM WHILE TRYING TO DEFEAT THE VILLAIN WHAT
#to be fair I don't think my brain came up with original melodies#because I can specifically remember one of them to the tune of let it grow from the lorax movie#also a lot of them including my song were directly copying the opening number to the Percy Jackson musical#also there might have been little hints of this Day Aria in there?#and there was just general music playing in the background during the entire dream#oh also did I mention the dream was about me in a grocery store trying to defeat an evil monster high doll that I brought to life because#she started being mean so I yelled at her and then she got mad and put a curse on the entire supermarket where if you ate anything you got#obsessed with it and people started fighting each other and also I could fly?#oh and also at one part some employee was doing a motivational speech (before getting possessed) and while I was walking over to him to see#I saw someone dressed as Scooby-Doo#like with face paint and stuff. don't know what that's about.#dreams#monster high#musicals

good gd i fucking love it when my roommate puts on a load of laundry IMMEDIATELY before i can when i have zero clean leggings left and bled through my fucking pants overnight too
#and i have to go to the pharmacy and the supermarket and also get my phone repaired which itself will take like two hours probably#And work on my library science homework And finish my late transcription project#and if i can squeeze in some more work on my research papers#before i have to go to the Fucking Xmas Concert where i'll Sit There for two thirds of the fucking program doing jack shit#gd. it's such a stupid minute fucking thing to get upset about but i'm so overwhelmed#the fact that i can't even just clean my fucking clothes when i need to without it throwing my entire day's plans off#is sending me over the fucking edge this morning. i can't deal withit man#i wanna go back to sleep and never get up again#i wanna talk about me

I should buy some tea. And a cup.
#i should do that tomorrow before all the supermarkets are closed for who knows how long#i am really craving some tea these days#i haven't really seen any tea anywhere yet but i also didn't really look for it specifically#and I'll be dammed if that giant emart doesn't have some good old tea#and a cup#it's a need#void screams
