@wtflanksteak And now that I don't faint when I stand I can roller blade with my kids again. My resting heart rate has improved, and I'm stronger than long ago when I ate NO processed foods at all.

Eat the chips lol nobody knows better than you+your doctors.

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@wtflanksteak People are so quick to judge. When I had fainting spells my cardiologist recommended upping water and sodium intake to stabilize blood pressure. Extra glass of water and serving of chips/salty snacks daily kept me from needing meds.

@KrallIan @KnowingBetterYT YES. I'm a homeschool mom (not by choice, the disability support in our county is insufficient) and I would love to have access to public school curriculum.

Folks act like I quit my job and spent a small fortune on resources and school materials for funsies not necessity.

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@KnowingBetterYT Again, more oversight, regulation, and mandated testing would be fantastic. But the blanket statement that NO person is better off from homeschooling is just false.

Forcing a bullied girl to keep going to a school where they share her nudes around for 2 extra years is torture.

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@KnowingBetterYT Also disability aside, I have a young family member who was forced to finish high school online from relentless bullying/revenge porn.

She's currently finishing her bachelor's and plans to continue school to become a psychiatrist. She would not be better off without homeschool.

@the_man_enjoyer @KnowingBetterYT I'm a homeschool mom and I 100% support regulation. Regular testing, certification, etc. I wish there was more collaboration+oversight

I also wish our public schools were better. If my county's public schools had sufficient disability support we wouldn't need to homeschool.

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@KnowingBetterYT I'll always vote and show to demonstrations and protests and city council meetings. We should try and make things better.

In the meantime, I just can't justify sending my kids to an underfunded school with insufficient disability support and a politicized curriculum. We tried.

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@KnowingBetterYT Before kids, covid, and living in the rural south with two neurodivergent kids I agreed with this.

I had to quit my job to school my kids full time, I wish more than anyone that we had better options. I wish there was more regulations and oversight.

@AndrewS78169455 Imagine approaching a non vegan at a rape crisis center and smugly telling them they're just as bad as thier rapist because they aren't vegan. It's cruel and terrible advocacy.

Ineffective advocacy leads to more animal suffering and worsens the climate crisis.

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@AndrewS78169455 ???

I think it's correct to point out the exploitation and abuse of animals to advocate better legislative policy and individual action.

I do not think it is helpful for a non black person to tell a black person eating meat is as bad as slavery. It's tone deaf.

@OverContentious @EmmyCat2022 @Imani_Barbarin My oldest kid having a lactose intolerance is actually what pushed my partner and I from being vegetarian to cooking entirely plant based. Very thankful there are so many non dairy options nowadays!

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@Imani_Barbarin It's just so frustrating. Factory farming is indisputably harmful to animal welfare and our planet. It is unnecessary and also harmful to use dehumanizing rhetoric to express this.

Instead of just making objectively correct arguments folks fall on thier face to be kinda racist.

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@EmmyCat2022 @Imani_Barbarin The mozzarella wheels have performed well in the past for me on pizza and such. Definitely melts better than daiya shreds and doesn't taste off when browned.

Thier herb artisan blocks are hit and miss for melting. They also have a new liquid cheese thing but I haven't tried it

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@sinix777 Which is like saying we don't need immigration reform cause we could just "abolish borders" instead. Absurd.

[dexidoes @dexidoes]

@sinix777 The right for folks to present and identify how they wish.

I don't think it's dismissive of trans identity. The main trouble is some gender critical folks leverage gender abolition against trans folks to argue AGAINST thier liberation.

@FascBear @HugoThatPinkCat It's funny, it's been a decade since I watched these. It's such basic, uncontroversial, feminist theory 101 shit I can't believe folks are still upset that she made this series.
