Gotta go make a became, lasagne waits for no person.
Bechamel, but thanks, autocorrect. I like to spray a piece of foil cook covered for 35 and then, remove, put grated cheese on top when I put the garlic bread in.
And back in you go. I actually did it in a larger tray, with less layers, than usual, so it would cook faster. It will be on the saucer, but definitely still delicious side.
Looks edible

Do people understand what I actually mean in my bio when I say I am a poster child for mental health. 😅
It means I experience a wide spectrum of mental health conditions, and I go to a lot of therapy. It doesn't mean I know everything (or anything). I have two full time treating clinicians. I speak from lived experience, and some days I feel like I know nothing.
Sometimes I am deeply unwell, and still so much risk I need to be hospitalised. Other times I can go speak at a national conference about suicide prevention. It isn't meant to be like some weird humble brag that I am the picture of perfect health.

A lot of people are having trauma responses, and they don't even know it. Now trauma isn't a free pass to be an asshole, but one of the ways it can manifest is through 'over controlling'. They're scared, trying to push down that fear by attacking everyone around them.
Now, trauma doesn't make you a racist, but being a racist does inflict trauma.
When you're triggered and vulnerable (and being vulnerable feels unsafe), this can lead to fear. In a desperate attempt to avoid that fear, and lack of control, people can try to control everything.
Someone disagrees with you and threatens what you're using to make sense of the universe? You attack, because it feels like an attack on you, and what you think is keeping you safe.

I mean... surely a good public health response that would actually create jobs would be to offer specialist training courses to perform covid tests, so that at least some of the testing centres could run for longer operating hours?
Covid isn't going anywhere. Mini outbreaks aren't going anywhere. And until (and probably not even then) we have a vaccine, testing is by far the best method of containment. In SA, I know someone who was turned away from testing two days in a row, because they weren't going
To get through the line of people that they had. You want testing to both be free, and easily accessible. Queuing for 4 hours, only to then be turned away seems ridiculous.

Great thread. It hasn't been mentioned yet, so, if you experience anxiety wearing a mask, practice wearing it at home in small increments. Tell yourself that you are safe. You can breathe. Wearing this helps keep you and others safe.
Try to regulate your breathing - there are quite a few apps that have guided meditations for following the breath - but with that said, for some people, that can be anxiety inducing, so if you can handle regular breaths in and out ok, wear a mask while watching TV. Playing a game
If it is mildly distressing, distracting yourself from this anxiety while doing something else will help you get used to the mask. If it makes you gag (and there are no underlying physical issues), take it off. Try and think about what you felt in your body and what you were -

Rip to @imogenrq fighting with a waterdrop, watch out 😅
Do other countries have the equivalent of waterdrops? Also, if you still have a waterdrop and you're not one of those waterdrops, I would really delete the waterdrop.
For, not the first time, you shouldn't support a political party like you support a sporting team (arguably you probably shouldn't support a sporting team like that either but that's a discussion for another day).

Your regular reminder (for me too) that if you're going to argue with a racist, homophobe or transphobe, to remove the @ of the person being attacked from the replies. If they're a bad faith troll, you can just report and block them.
I don't really use muting as a tool for people who fall in to hateful categories. This means they can still read your TL and can be a menace to people who follow you. Save the mutes for the weirds, not the fascists.
Picked this up over the years, and particularly from learning from Karen W, and watching some of the absolute garbage she has to deal with.
