the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.

self-love is me resisting the urge to eat the leftovers I have in the fridge as a bedtime snack, out of compassion and adoration for future-me, who deserves to wake up in the morning and eat something delicious without having to cook it first

So seriously: if you have a serious recoil/disgust factor at uncommonly eaten parts of an animal being in any kind of food context (eg: whole fish being served at a table) and you want to work on minimizing that reaction, I really really recommend eating "normal" versions of those unusual foods, like for example deli-sliced tongue. I know I'm talking out of my ass here, but things like liver and haggis (organ meat), tongue (tongue), and probably a whole lot of others I've never had can be pretty easily made into forms that taste real good and don't look much like a weird lump of flesh you can recognize, and being able to get from "that's weird and gross but I want to get it" to "that's weird but it tastes really good and I want to get it" will probably make building up momentum easier when you move on to less "common" pastures.
Good luck, by the way. I believe in you.

last time I went over to my sister's I opened the front door and called hello and heard my sister say from the kitchen "ooh, who do you think that is?" and then heard the baby's galloping footsteps as he came barrelling towards the door yelling "zoo! zoo! zoo!"
(soup! soup! soup!)

took a lil trip to Leer in Germany today to go shopping at a mall with a large grocery store so I got to use my very basic conversational German skills when I ordered pastries and later on a burger and fries 😎

I love wasabi peas because they're like the Russian roulette of snacks. You'll devour like four handfuls mindlessly and start to wonder whether they've gotten less spicy than you remember, or if your spice tolerance has grown, and then just as your hubris is starting to rear its ugly head you'll pop one into your mouth and it will instantly sear off the roof of your mouth and scour out the insides of your sinuses.

🧂🌊🪤 :D
milo!!! *mwah!!*
🧂 - what is a trope you enjoy?
enemies to lovers will always be one of my favorites. the tension, the learning to understand each other, the willingness to change your opinions and grow as a person??? delightful
🌊 - favorite sea critter?
big fan of black-tipped reef sharks!! and also sharks in general. another shoutout to goblin sharks, my favorite funky little guy
🪤 - favorite quick snack?

I wish eating bugs was more mainstream in the west, it’s really not accessible at all even though I would love to try and make it a part of my regular diet. It’s like $15 for a tiny 20g bag of roasted crickets and I can only buy them online..
