“Sibling”?

I’ve found that Imposter Syndrome is really common. Even people that I admire that are rockstars in the industry I’m in also have Imposter Syndrome.

Maybe the weirdos are the ones without Imposter Syndrome?

When you say “we” have you charged through the walls like the Kool Aid Man? Cuz’ I was just looking up my state and county offices to possibly run for something. It’s a pain in the ass, but it’s important. I’m tired of calling my House representative and getting ChatGPT-generated Republican talking points emailed back to me.

Have you tried some good alternatives to meat? Like, try seitan* crumbles in a taco. With all the spices and other toppings it’s really hard to tell the difference. Also, I find it almost impossible to tell an Impossible Whopper with Cheese from a regular Whopper with Cheese, after all the glop they put on it. I know those are both bottom-of-the-barrel meat choices, but maybe branch out and try a thing or two. If you don’t like it - no biggie.

I’ve tried casually dipping my toes into the vegetarian pool with just occasional meat substitutions. Occasionally I find something that’s “No way” but more often than not, I find something that is also really tasty. It’s not meat, but it’s also tasty in a different way, so I don’t miss meat as much. I’ve found vegetarian dishes I actually like. My biggest problem however is getting enough protein in my diet when I start eating mostly veggies.

[* Seitan only if you can handle gluten. Because, it’s like 100% gluten! ]
