I discovered these silicone portion cubes for the freezer from some friends on a Discord for people with Chronic illnesses and issues. I gotta say, I'm loving this. I've yet to try the other things like veggies, gravies, even pasta that they showed me, but my first two forays are awesome.

I got the two-pack of gumbo and a two-pack of the GOOD marinara at Costco, far more cost effective than Rao's at the regular grocery store. Two of these little cubes are a portion, and one of the gumbo. Not only am I not wasting leftovers in the fridge before I'm in the mood to have it again, I'm only defrosting what I need and not an entire package.

Yeah, I only have room currently to freeze 1 of the big trays OR two of the little ones at a time, but it's ready to put in labeled freezer bags the next day. As I clear out the freezer, that'll get better. The frozen things pop out super easy and I can also see exactly how many meals I'm getting for my money. Example: 2 of those cubes of sauce are a portion the way I like it. The two jars filled two trays and has enough left over for my lunch or dinner, so that's really 7 portions, or 7 meals. (or me, then 3 meals for me and the person I live with. Still not bad at all.) Links to where I bought them at the end, I'm not an affiliate so I don't get anything for recommending things. Also not why I do it.)

@growfediverse it's soooo me. I'm a crow, LOL

@inherentlee This is great to see I'm not the only one! My screen said F11 and I got annoyed that I couldn't hit it fast enough. I'll try the other keys and holding them down, cause I really want to try Linux. Thanks, everyone!

Cute artsy haul from a local pop-up queer artist market! Pins, stickers, tattoo balm, carved stones, it was loads of fun. Support local! #buylocal #queerartist #pins #stickers #herbs
on a paper towel sits a small pile of polished semi-precious stones, three tiny stones carved into a mushroom, bat, and coffin, a tin of homemade tattoo balm, a heart-shaped horse sticker, a Queer Pride button, and 4 pins: one of a crow holing a gem that says "I love trinkets", one of two pink bats, one of a snake curled around a sword, and one of a crow that says "Crows Before Bros, support your local murder". The pins and button are all about an inch and a half at most.

OK, I watched it. youtube.com/watch?v=G6FuWd4wNd… And yes, that was FUCKING AMAZING! Beautiful, powerful, unity, community, wonderful message. (and Pedro Pascal dancing in the corner, lol) Tears of joy. Naming ALL the countries in the Americas, the message of hope and togetherness and the celebration of our gorgeous individuality making us a beautiful mosaic that supports each other... Love, love, loved it.

Also impressive that all those bushes around the edges were people in costume just standing there. Anyone who criticizes the dancing is ridiculous, I've seen similar moves in not only many music videos, but professional cheerleaders. Get over it. At least no one had a "wardrobe malfunction".
