@twistylittlepassages i hope you enjoy it as much as i did :D

@platypus !

@pixouls oh yeah that could be interesting! though, if its a butter substitute that might be a good thing *ponders*

@lookitmychicken first of all, that sounds awful and I’m sorry you had to go through all of that 🫂

secondly, I am not one to armchair diagnose other people but in case it helps you put things into context: this thread alone is a strong argument for at least 4 of the diagnostic criteria for PTSD. Not all trauma is PTSD obviously, but either way you deserve to feel safe and to not have your feelings minimized, even by yourself

@yesterdaychild so generous of him

@coriander @starwall almost certainly, unless you’ve got a real Rats of NIMH situation going on but also just, wow 😂

@ljwrites i’m glad they’re experimenting with revenue sources that aren’t ads/selling user data but also, yeah really not all that appealing if you aren’t currently highly invested in the site lol

@dessertgeek we have exactly one local bean to bar company, who unfortunately i don’t love (they make a very grainy chocolate, and they are also very into like, using dates to sweeten their chocolate because they think processed sugar is bad and those kinds of things. which is fine if you’re into that but generally when i’m eating chocolate its as a treat and not a health food, you know?)

So generally i’m either ordering from online stores or randomly spotting less local brands in the grocery or the food co-op, which id how i found Taza! but they’re not consistently carried :( so i had wondered, if i was going to be paying shipping no matter what, if there were any other brands doing similar things worth checking out. But it sounds like from what you’re saying they’ve actually filled that niche pretty well! will check out the other people you mentioned as well though, thanks for the tips :)

@Betty i imagine any american browsing ao3 on thanksgiving has no grounds to complain when it comes to any weird smut posted there

@Anke that would be v cute! &/or scary, depending if they liked me
