My phone is dying and i also really want to increase my privacy and fully decouple myself from the google ecosystem so i was thinking of moving to a pixel and using grapheneOS. Now is the time before tech prices shoot way up from tariffs. What model of pixel should i get that isnt too expensive but isnt likely to lose grapheneOS support anytime soon? I was thinking like a 7 maybe

Came across lions mane mushrooms at my local grocer, which was a great find as i had been wanting to try these for a while. I went very basic, just seared them in canola oil with a little bit of salt and black pepper, and flattened them out with a pot to release moisture or some such. Shredded them up and tossed them in some leftover ramen. The flavor was quite nice and light, somewhat similar to oyster mushrooms and paired nice with the broth i felt. The texture was pleasant, with the nice springy bite typical of fungus and a tender inside. I saw it compared to crab, lobster, and scallops online and while i do kinda taste the resemblance particularly with scallops (honestly i really didnt think they tasted like crab or lobster much at all) they lack any sort of oceanity or fishyness to them.

They were very tasty. I'll probably use the rest to top a mushroom risotto and baste them with butter, garlic and herbs for more flava

i am a devious little ratfuck

That is all thank you

Also videos from gender criticals. It's so incredibly upsetting. One thing I've noticed is that there is simultaneously a claim that we are being lied to, and yet when trans content creators talk about their surgery complications it's used as ammunition against us and our care. Which is it? I have always found that trans creators are fully open about the risks and complications that can happen from surgery and yet I still desperately yearn to have it even though I know recovery is going to suck. I have to hear this GC rhetoric from my parents and it breaks my heart. I just want to live my life as the woman I was always meant to be. To grow old and die as a woman. To finally have a chance at happiness. Why do we have to justify our existence? Why can't they just leave us alone?

Is there literature I can give my conservative parents to try to assuage their fears? It's mostly for my dad as I still feel like I have a chance to convince him. But every now and then he still brings up things like detransitioners and regret rates and I want to push back on that in a constructive way. What can I give him to read?
