WHY IS MEATLESS MONDAYS COOL??

i love this.

Loving someone to the point of idiocy, where all rational thought goes out the window when you see them. Because you know that even if you know nothing except that you love them, that's enough.

~i never met nobody like you~

imagine how fucking great it would be if hozier wrote a song about Patroclus and Achilles........

Snow day means time to do the tasks inside I keep putting off. Dried sage and dill finally stored and I definitely didn't spill any dill on the floor.

will not be posting for a while, just found out new hozier lyrics dropped and i need time to squeal out of excitement.

Video description and transcription:

Tiktok by Tyler from Fig (tylerandhistummy)

[Tyler faces the camera and speaks to it.]

If this video helps even one person, it was worth it.

So, I've got a ton of ingredients that my body reacts to: corn, citric acid, gluten, chocolate, bananas, peanut oil--I'm all over the place.

It was so hard to read ingredient labels and just find food that I could eat. Grocery trips were unbearable, they took like two or three hours usually.

But I always had this idea on how to make it easier. So I quit my job and helped build an app over the past few years. And that app's called Fig.

[A phone screen showing the app interface, which Tyler scrolls through. Top text reads: "First up: Do you follow any of these diets? Dietary restrictions are complex - it's ok to select more than one!" Underneath is a checklist of ingredients and dietary restriction, including categories with suboptions.]

What makes fig unique is we're trying to help pretty much everybody that has to avoid certain ingredients.

That means we've got a ton of things that you can select from--even really specific ingredients.

[Camera briefly returns to Tyler's face again.]

And like I had dreamed of for so many years, checking ingredients is as quick as this.

[A phone camera scans the barcode on a bottle of spices. Details about the product appear, including an ingredients list and allergen statement. The ingredient "citric acid" appears in red all-caps. There is also an accompanying message that says "This product does not match your Fig."]

And finding food you can eat is as simple as this.

[The app displays a scrollable list of food items, similar to a storefront. Each item has a save toggle and is accompanied by a photo, the product brand/name, and its size. There is a search bar labeled "search for a product." There are also menus for narrowing the search; one is set to "allowed," one is set to "Whole Foods," and another unaltered menu is titled "Category."]

[The camera returns to Tyler.]

So if you know anybody with food allergies, stomach issues, other dietary restrictions, I'd really appreciate it if you shared it with them.

[The appstore listing for Fig: Food Scanner & Discovery.]

It's called Fig, it's completely free, and you can get it on iOS and Android in the US.

[Tyler smiles at the camera.]

Thanks for helping out.

I can't find interest in.. anything, anymore.

Lately I've realized I'm just, dragging myself from place to place, and that I don't really feel much? And I thought a way to change that would be to make a list of hobbies or interests I can do.

Nothing has worked. It's been at least a week and I've spent so much time on websites trying to find something, but I really don't like anything. Do I even want to do anything?
