This roasted carrots with creamy nuoc recipe is fantastic. I topped with cilantro instead of dill and served over black lentils. www.vietworldkitchen.com/blog/2022/10...

I’m curious if there are any other autistics out there whose special interest is traveling and the research and discovery that goes into traveling? I know stereotypically it is hard for us to travel, but I’ve found it’s easier to be an alien in a place where it’s expected (because tourist)

A friendly bus driver makes me so happy. This one said “okay here we goooo” every time before the bus got going again after a stop

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

One of my favorite things to do before a trip is to listen to Spotify’s (wish I had a less evil option) Top 50 songs for that particular country. I’ve discovered such good music and I feel a little less like a tourist when I can sing along with whatever’s playing in the market or taxi

1. Montana will be the first state to hear an anti-trans bill in 2025 - an adult bathroom ban with 35 Republican cosponsors - on Friday. This as Republicans nationwide are prioritizing trans people in bathrooms, especially trans legislators McBride and Zephyr. Subscribe to support my journalism.

hi, cis folks! meet HB28. it's a sports ban on trans athletes. but actually, it's the first step to something much worse—see below. 45 sec call scripts for democrats & republicans in congress follow. if you've been saying you'd stand with trans people, now's the time.🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/HB28...

The delight of sitting next to a table of 20-somethings drinking and talking in Greek, and hearing [greek greek] “strap-on” [greek greek]. English words find their way in in the most interesting ways.

I’m always at a loss for what to post on here. I think if you get out of posting (which happened to me back in the Twitter days) it’s really hard to jump back in. So how about a recipe I made tonight that was easy and delicious? Why not carolinechambers.com/recipes/chic...

I’ve been having a really hard time with accepting how many people just don’t care about anything enough to make any changes- covid, climate change, AI, Palestine, etc etc- and that has been the beauty of this site and Twitter before it for me: a place I can go and see other people who care

I hate to make this my first post, but I have to say that I am doing a project for a data analytics course and the county with the lowest poverty rates in Montana is called Richland. Just something to think about
