Never going to shut up about how awesome this gf sandwich bread is, THIS SHIT IS TASTY it doesn't crumble too much, it isn't too dry, and it's not like eating an old dish sponge! (Believe me gluten-people, it's traumatizing out there in the gf bread world)

If you're not allergic to gluten I'd reccomend saving this anyways bc it's super easy and if you make friends with someone gf they will love you forever if you make this and might consider marrying you (I don't make the rules I'm just the messenger)

Anyways here's the recipe I'm no gatekeeper<3

Gluten Free Banana Bars

― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals

Aren't plushies beautiful? They were created so a sick child had something to hold. They were created so an adult living alone might have a friend to keep them company. They were created for a teenager to clutch to her chest as she cries. They were created to accompany a college student to his geology classes. They were created not for any material benefit, they don't change tires, but to be loved.

They were created for the purpose of love.

I’m so emotional about dinosaur stuffed animals,,, there are these creatures, extinct long before any of us were alive, but we found their bones and their eggs and their footprints. And we made drawings and models of what they could’ve looked like. And we made them into stuffed animals so we could hold them. We made them soft so we could love them. I’m sobbing

you should really get comfortable believing in love and magic and whimsy or you’ll continue to live a half-life for the rest of the time you have on earth
