Serious question: what is the vegan/plant-based solution for folks like me who want to eat more veg but can’t always tolerate them well due to IBD/etc? As much as I love beans/hummus/shrooms/tofu, I haven’t found anything quite so nutrient-dense and digestible as animal protein. Even shakes and supplements don’t really satiate my hunger.

Again, this is a serious question. In the past I have gotten such non-answers as “you’re making it up, no one is intolerant to plants” and “it’s just a stomachache” and “no one NEEDS meat, stop lying to yourself”, so I would appreciate some sincere and thoughtful dialogue on the issue. #vegan #vegetarian #chronicallyill #disability #ibd #crohns #plantbased #askmastodon

It’s hotter inside the store than outside. Customers are complaining. In fact I’m sitting in the sun to cool down as I type this. And this note has been left from management #AntiWork #WorkReform #socialism #WorkersRights #LaborUnions

I keep doing alright during the day but occasionally I get hit by these sudden urges to fall asleep. Like, I’ll be in the sun, or at the store, or whatever and have to fight to stay awake. Doesn’t matter if I’m caffeinated and/or slept decently the night before.

I went to sleep very late last night and I paid the price by not waking up until 3pm. :BlobCat_RollingEyes:

The worst part about hospital stays is definitely the constant awakenings, I would like more than 1-3 hours of rest please and thank you.

I picked up these neat Pokemon paper craft kits from my work, I plan to scan these in soon so I can keep printing and folding them. If you are interested in ‘capturing’ any of these for yourself, please send me a dm! #pokemon #papercraft #art #giveaway #crafts #origami

It is silly but I am sending in a few entries to the local radio station contest this week, they are giving away Depeche Mode tickets and it would be super cool to go…

Some werk selfies #selfie #ootd

A mirror selfie of a young man. He is wearing a backwards baseball cap, black glasses, and a black face mask. His long sleeve shirt is dark grey with black sleeves. He is wearing small black earrings and a long black pendant. He is holding his rainbow-colored phone in one hand and peering off in that direction.

Finally working on my #diyproject of making a little maze for my pet snails. I have the little interior measurements made and the design finalized, now to break for lunch and hopefully not put this off for the rest of time.

We binge watched Season 5 of #RPDR because Jinkx Monsoon and we have started watching AS7 for the same reason. Hail the queen of queens

Playing Legends Arceus since I still haven’t made my way thru that one (I keep getting distracted by side quests and filling my dex lol)

thecalchemist, 9 months ago to random

I got home and went to wash my hands and a big ol spider was trying to set up shop in my bathroom sink…

thecalchemist, 9 months ago to Plants

I tried a rambutan for the first time today…they were 69¢ apiece (nice) but the cashier couldn’t remember what they were called lol. Anyway once you cut past the hairy peel the flesh inside is quite tasty, almost like a dragonfruit that kissed a tangerine imo. Would I eat again? Sure, as a little treat! #fruits #plants

Last night while dreaming in serial I was convinced that I’d had this dream arc before, but this time with new, minor details. This morning I am pretty sure that dream arc was an entirely new one. Which is weird because a large part of the story was helped along by my previous knowledge of characters and situations that would unfold…

My bf put the sticker I got him on the microwave lol
