saying "it is not necessary to have sweets every day" should not be seen as controversial, but i have had people go for my throat for that take. its literally unthinkable apparently not to have a sweet treat on the daily (or multiple times per day).
i'm not saying "sugar bad" or anything, it's good to enjoy a little dessert every now and then. but i think a lot of Americans are so used to having a diet high in sugary foods, and it's so normalized and what so many people grew up with, that me saying "your kids don't need to have dessert every day" is accused of toxic diet culture mindset and depriving children of joy.
and the thing is, our sweets are really sweet. you don't notice it when you grew up with it, it just seems normal. but if you travel elsewhere or go on a low-sugar diet, suddenly our ice cream and cookies and donuts seem un-appetizingly overly sweet.
anyways i'm not saying don't give your kids dessert, but i think a lot of Americans underestimate how addicted they are to sweets. if the mere suggestion to limit the intake to once or twice a week gives you a knee-jerk reaction of fear/horror/disgust, "i could never! i earned this!", there is a problem.

Ask and ye shall receive 🫡
Had these colored just last night but was too tired to post them 😭
Been hard at work with Halloween AU stuff and Things, I’ve got a bunch of goodies for the Glams I’m excited to show off!
Sry for the boobies, but they’re censored so no worries 😭 if anybody draws him they aren’t a hard requirement, if anything they’re supposed to be conveniently covered by a shredded shirt I’m just a stickler for anatomical exploration rahhhhh!! Plus it’s Sun you know I gotta make him genderfunky \o/
No deep lore, but currently he works as a DIY craftsman making odd trinkets and baubles he sells on his Etsy store, living with his boyfriends in a sleepy town in the boonies in the Appalachia mountains in Ohio. He claims he has to leave town for five days a month to conduct business elsewhere but we all know what business that really entails ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"you have been doing [mundane thing] wrong" is a prompt that in context irks me so much because it is not longer a way to showcase new ways to do an x, but rather an attempt to chastise the viewer and make them feel like an idiot for not doing something that you wouldn't have done if there wasn't enough proof it wouldn't work and you wouldn't waste materials. such an algorithmic concept, to make the viewer feel helpless and blind to obviousness so they need to keep searching new truths. that all creativity and investigation is made to feel as a showdown
thankfully, while some people still try to cling to it, content farms have pretty much destroyed it and reading it causes a similar effect to reading "healthy fit meals"

it is genuinely so good for me to have eddie, who does not care about carbs or calories, doesn’t pay attention to the scale, doesn’t assign moral values to food. i say ‘are you hungry’ and he says ‘yes.’ so we get dairy queen. and everything’s fine.

The dilemma is that I do need to exercise sometimes in order to not feel like shit. But I'm also bad at feeding myself under the best of circumstances (various reasons incl interoception issues/prep + planning difficulties/getting bored when the eating takes too long or becomes Too Texture/etc). So any rare Real Exercise session I manage is a recipe for debilitating hunger afterwards

turns out “essay collection” is the correct answer when your mother asks what book you’re reading on your kindle and the real answer is “gay angel porn”
nobody wants to hear more about an essay collection
