We're very complicated lmao

@prismalitesystem

We're the Prismalite System! Bodily, we're over 21, Transfem nonbinary, and mostly lesbian (?) System of over 10 headmates. HRT started on 09/7/22!! We're currently undergoing a lot of system restructuring and re-assessment of our identities, but in general She/They pronouns are a safe bet if you don't know who's fronting. The name we usually go by is Garnet.

meal ideas!

low energy ("do not ask me to do any prep work at all, so help me god")

  • mozzerella cheese wrapped in pepperoni ("pizza tacos"!)
  • hummus and pretzels or naan (putting the naan in the microwave for like 10 seconds...heavenly)
  • canned chili (with shredded cheese and sour cream if you have it! boom done!)
  • instant miso soup (warm and lovely!)
  • cheese and cured meat, olives, canned fish, crackers, dried fruit, or whatever easy "charcuterie" type items you like
  • alternate bites of apple and spoonfulls of peanut butter (mixing honey or chocolate chips to the peanut butter is my favorite)
  • a "deconstructed sandwich": bites of lunch meat, pickles, cheese, cherry tomato, etc (I love roast beef and white cheddar for this)
  • yogurt and granola or fruit

medium energy ("I'll boil water but don't ask me to chop shit")

high energy ("I don't mind chopping some things up!")

other tips:

  • whenever you think of a meal you'd like to make, take 3 seconds to google search it, take a screenshot of the image results, and put it in a "food ideas" folder. instant visual menu!
  • if you're on instagram, there are a bajillion different recipe accounts that post videos! a few of my favorites: jipsoon_kitchen, eatwitzo, cordandthekitchen, chungeats, tiffy.cooks, two_plaid_aprons

This is all great!

I got this website from a nutritionist and it’s become my absolute favorite way to find new recipes. The search filter options are fantastic! Sorting by method really helps me because I think that’s what makes the biggest difference in how much energy you need.

And here are some other ideas for low/medium energy meals:

  • Cottage cheese with crackers, fruits and/or veggies.
  • Guacamole with veggies and/or tortilla chips
  • Chickpeas/garbanzo beans with tzatziki. You could add rice, lettuce/spinach, and/or pita.
  • Buffalo cauliflower with yogurt dip. You can roast or microwave the cauliflower, top it with hot sauce, and add bleu cheese or shredded cheddar on top.

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

If someone is doing things that don't make Sense, try to understand that it is entirely possible that their brain is probably under an enormous weight and fracturing under the pressure. People who have been stabbed will sometimes talk a circle around the fact that they've been stabbed because stress and shock prevent you from recognizing the distress you are in and what you need to do to seek help for it. PTSD will do this also. You will find yourself repeatedly jamming a bag of frozen fruit into the same spot in the freezer where it doesn't fit and keeps falling, over and over and over, focused on nothing but that bag. You will decide that a beanbag chair is 10000% necessary to your life. You will lose your entire shit because you stubbed your toe on a table and that means the whole setup of your furniture is wrong. These are largely harmless examples. People under strain will also hurt themselves and others. Cornered animals bite. And it doesn't heal the bite to go "Hey, are you okay?" But it might get you to an animal that stops biting, so you can start to heal. And before you had an animal that bit, you probably had an animal that kept doing shit you didn't understand as stress signals

Please go watch Sex Explained on Netflix. Not only is it a great resource for the basic sex education that is sorely lacking in the U.S., but some of ya’ll need to take a deep breath and remember the difference between fantasy vs reality. This purity culture thing that we’re going through right now is directly harmful to responsible, healthy sexual expression. BTW this woman, Lisa Diamond, is a noted psychologist and has been pushing for greater understanding of womens sexuality as a whole.

To the absolute clowns who like vilifying darkfics: please read this, repeatedly.

To the person who started the Petra Parker trend i wanna say thank you because this is the coolest fucking shit ever.
