Non-serious isn’t my style I guess. There’s nothing wrong with casual relationships, but they aren’t for me.

I have never once felt serious romantic interest in someone who wasn’t almost exactly my age. I guess I’ve always craved being equals in every way possible? I’m not trying to yuck other people’s yums, but I don’t see the appeal of age gaps personally.

When I was in undergrad some of my friends and I were eating a late dinner in the dining hall when someone came in to say that someone had fallen in the river. It was the middle of winter at the time, so when we rushed out we saw that a man had fallen through the ice, perhaps while trying to cross, and was clinging to the edge of the hole while half submerged. He was pretty far out and we didn’t know how stable the ice was, so we tied our scarves together and bound them to a thick stick. I had to try a few times but eventually succeeded in throwing the weighted end to him and dragging him to the bank. Unfortunately the dude was really unpleasant and said something horribly racist to a black woman who was standing with us, apropos of nothing. We left immediately after ensuring that he was no longer in mortal peril, as it looked like news vehicles were starting to show up and we didn’t want any part of that.

Thanks I needed this laugh today

I do thrift, but my most recent great find was at a queer clothing swap downtown. It is a long, black, integrated flowy pant + skirt. The skirt really billows when I walk or it gets caught in the breeze. My silhouette tends to be top heavy, and the profile of this piece really balances it out.

My main source of protein is definitely tofu. Most days I eat around 500 grams in various dishes. I also eat other beans and lentils, although amounts vary week by week. When I use protein powder I like to mix pea protein with brown rice protein. Pea protein has a different balance of amino acids compared to soy, but alone tends to be hard on my stomach. Hence, the mixture.

FWIW I have achieved higher levels of gym strength as a vegan than I ever did as a carnivore.
