😩😩😩

chocolate is very important, lol

in fact, my main account may have been unconsciously named that way

no worries that’s very common, and thanks for being so understanding 💕

hi there, thanks for your humorous comment, but this community is for women only. Hope you understand 🧡

I’m not sure - I would probably want to look at what is well evidenced, i.e. what actually demonstrates reduced gender bias. Bias might be really hard to actually measure, so we might want to be specific about what we care about, e.g.

• salary gap between men and women
• % of workforce that is men vs women

and so on …

Policies that I’ve seen and come to mind (but may be flawed still, I haven’t thought much about this):

• provide childcare at the workplace, have somewhere your kids can be safe and taken care of while you’re at work
• seek out new hires, interns, and other candidates from all-women’s universities and colleges in addition to ivy leagues, major state schools, etc.
• have strong maternity and paternity leave

Making myself a fun coffee drink then putting on loud dance music and dancing in my kitchen is a low-materialistic treat I’ve taken.

Taking a bath can be, too.

aw, thank you for being so supportive 🥰 I think it will be enough to just be understanding when your mod suddenly ghosts in a few weeks 🤣 Though, knowing me, I might end up spending all my time here - we’ll see. 😅

really nervous, I don’t have as much hair removal as I would like so I don’t feel prepared, but considering the political situation and how long it has taken to get here I don’t feel comfortable delaying either …

ah, it’s “the surgery”, a vaginoplasty 🙈 If all goes well, I’ll be kept in the hospital for a week, then will have to stay in a hotel near the hospital for another week before I can recover at home. Recovery is about three months away from work, full recovery is like a year or so.

😳😳😳

and she’s in China? too good to be true 👀

I’m just trying to find a way to get my hairdresser to cut my bangs 😅 I have a major surgery in two weeks and I want to look nice in the hospital 😭

I haven’t used the barista blends myself, but I’ll have to check it out. Also, good tip on the cream of tartar, had never heard of that for making vegan buttermilk 👀

also, despite such a helpful comment, and thank you for that, unfortunately this community is for women only so I’m removing your comment. Hope you understand 💛

thank you for your comment, but this community is for women only - hope you understand 🤎

bonus tip: if you want a vegan / plant-based buttermilk, I suggest using pea milk or soy milk (both high high enough protein contents) and putting a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar and allowing the proteins to curdle. It works well!

But yeah, oat milk is amazing, esp. in coffee. For something like pancakes I would probably prefer the added fats that cashews provide, but the flavor of oat milk is perfect for this too.
