  • Here’s my muffin recipe, but you can really omit the applesauce and use pretty much any fruit you like for flavor. Do keep the bananas though or the texture will be really wrong. It’s good with a tbsp of chia seeds added, oats added, etc. I make my own yogurt and when I make cheese out of it I replace all the liquids (except oil) with the leftover whey and they come out gloriously soft and fluffy that way. Whole Wheat flour is really high calorie though so I’m open to suggestions for something to replace it with if anyone has any ideas.

    Long story short I’ve messed with this recipe in so many ways and it has turned out great every time except the time I didn’t have bananas and uses avocado instead. It’s very forgiving so do it your way.

    Muffin recipe

    2 ripe mashed bananas

    1 chopped apple

    Flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax, 2.5 tbsp water, mix and let set while you prepare the other ingredients)

    1 tbsp olive or avocado oil

    1/4 to 1/2 C oat or soy milk or cow milk or whey

    1 tsp vanilla

    1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce

    1 C whole wheat flour

    1 C wheat bran

    1tsp baking soda

    1 tsp baking powder

    1/4 tsp salt

    1 tsp cinnamon

    1/3 cup chopped walnuts

    1 tbsp chia seeds

    You can sub oat bran for wheat bran if you can find anyone selling it.

    1. Preheat oven to 350 (or don’t if using a convection oven)
    2. Lightly spray muffin tin with avocado oil
    3. Add banana, oil, milk, vanilla, applesauce, flax egg into mixing bowl and stir well.
    4. Add dry ingredients plus chopped apple to another bowl and mix well. Don’t add walnuts at this step.
    5. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Add extra applesauce or milk if it’s a little dry.
    6. Add to muffin pan in 12 equal portions. Add walnuts to the top and press them in a little or they’ll fall off when the muffins are done.
    7. Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
    8. Cool for a few minutes before removing from pan.




  • Yeah it’s hard to help because you didn’t go into the nature of your sleep issues, but I had wicked bad insomnia for about 2 decades and sleep great now. CBD/weed helped immensely as well as getting a white noise machine.

    Edit: also look up binaural beats and try delta waves. You’ll need a good set of over the ear headphones and you need to just lie in bed in the dark playing it. You can also try yoga nidra, which if you haven’t heard of it is not actually yoga. It’s a form of meditation that you do lying in bed that can help with falling asleep.





  • “It helps, but I can still tell that I have a deficit compared to most people when it comes to those things.”

    I was totally gonna ask you about this until I got to the end! It seems like thinking without any kind of internal monologue would be incredibly abstract which might be good for some things but it would probably suck ass for trying to remember or understand extremely detailed instructions and things like that! I’m so curious what it’s like to think the way you do and I wish I could flip a switch for a little bit to experience it because it’s kind of hard to really imagine what I would be like.




  • It isn’t any of their business unless you want it to be so just be vague as hell. “I got another offer that is a good opportunity.” “I’ve decided to pursue other opportunities.” They’ll obviously ask questions and you can just remain vague. “I would rather not discuss specific details of my new job.”

    Or if you don’t mind them speculating behind your back you can say as something like “I’ve decided to move on for personal reasons.” Just leave it at that and let them sit there and wonder. Is a family member sick and needs care? Are you sick? Did you get a different job? Do you hate everyone? Are you going to prison? Who knows because you aren’t telling them.
