For what it’s worth, a lot of beans have decent amounts of iron. Leafy greens also but they’re as expensive as meat depending on when and where you buy them (which I’m sure you know). I think you’re right that a lot of the reduction in meat consumption is probably attributable less to shifting cultural values or…

There are two kinds of iron: heme (from animals) and non-heme (from plants, typically greens and beans). To increase absorption, eat non-heme iron with foods rich in vitamin C (citrus, blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes, and even potatoes).

Please feel free to visit me and bone away. We will either join in your sex symphony from the other side of the house or turn the TV up.

WHAT?????

Right?! I didn’ t even understand the question because it seemed so ridiculous. If I’m invited somewhere with my partner and we have our own room with a door that closes, I will be having sex in that room unless explicitly told otherwise. I would also assume that any couple I invited to stay in our guest bedroom will…

Right! Frankly, I just assumed that everyone assumed their guests were doing it spare room.

You people can be so exhausting.

I know! I’ve been stunned by the yes / no ratio. I mean, I’m not having sex while uninvolved people are in the room.

Dear Clean Person,

Had one of these years ago....

What about other iron rich foods? Do you have a dietician you can talk to that can maybe help you out?

It was already annoying being mixed and looking white without this “tragic faux-latto” bullshit in the news.

Also, cuz I love sharing:

We had tirimisu for our wedding since neither of us love cake. Best wedding decision ever.

I wanted a 3 tier square shape, small and simple. My ex husbands mother claimed to be the cake boss of the rural south and “could whip that up easy peasy.” She kept me up to date on cake progress and everything she was super stoked, and I bought the hype. Come the day of our wedding (April fools day actually) we get…

I haven’t planned a wedding but when people say weird/awkward stuff to me and my boyfriend, we like to act surprised. As if we’re just finding out we’re two dudes ourselves.

I just imagined two brides attempting to hug in princess gowns bouncing off each other like bumper cars and skidding across the dancefloor.

I like your friends.

would it make it even better to know that my ACTUAL nickname (since i was 15) is Satan? for real. 😁
