This is a dish that looks complex on the plate, but is really easy and quick to make, super-tasty, and is also something that just about anyone can eat, since it's both vegan and gluten-free. It's great to wow a date with, or fun to make together. It's also easy to set up to serve a group with, too! ingredients (to serve two) : one container hummus two broccoli crowns, sliced into bite-sized pieces two large portabellas or one container mini portabella, crimini, white or shittake mushrooms - sliced and then marianted for about ten minutes in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper one large beet, rutabega, parsnip or turnip - peeled if needed and cut into bite-sized pieces for steaming one bag baby carrots or 2-3 large carrots - cut into bite-sized pieces for steaming (I like to cut the baby ones in half lengthwise) several cloves garlic (how many depends on how much you love it), sliced lengthwise half a small red onion, cut into long chun...

Have you ever noticed that once June—Pride Month—rolls around, a bunch of companies change their logo to a rainbow-themed version for the month? We have and we have some thoughts about it! The Profit at the End of the Rainbow Isabella: June has become the official month to celebrate being LGBTQ . It’s a time meant to make queer people like me comfortable in our own skin. Lots of companies have caught on. They might sell products featuring rainbows or t-shirts with sayings like, “Closets are for clothes,” “Let’s get one thing straight , I’m not,” “Can’t even think straight,” etc. There’s a name for this. “Rainbow capitalism,” also known as “pink capitalism” or “ gay capitalism,” is when corporations highlight LGBTQ-themed merchandise and claim allyship. But it can all feel sort of…fake. Not that the people in their advertisements or anyone who wears the clothes are fake. But it can feel like some of these corporations don’t really care about or consistently support LGBTQ folks. I...

Talya Honebeek When you gain weight and want to talk about it -- whatever your feelings about it are -- with partners or others you're in intimate relationships with, how can you do that, especially in a world where so few people are equipped with the skills to talk about weight in healthy, sensitive, supportive ways? Content note: While this piece discusses weight and weight gain, it is weight-neutral. Neither your health, your attractiveness, nor your value are linked to your weight. This piece will not be telling anyone any of those things, and does not encourage anyone to change their weight in any way. When I went up two dress sizes last year, my first concern was having to buy a whole new wardrobe. My second concern was more serious. I found that I couldn’t seem to have a conversation with anyone about the changes my body had gone through without them using it as an opportunity to “help” me by suggesting methods of losing weight. What none of the people I spo...

Douglas Laman Being autistic, some things just haven’t come as naturally for me as they seem to for other people. Unfortunately, these have included hallmarks of American life often used to symbolize being “an adult” like driving on my own or getting my first paid job. But human beings are not on a strict timetable to do all the same things at the same time. This is just as true of dating like anything else. Just because you (or I) haven’t been actively dating when a lot of other people in your life have doesn’t make you (or me) a failure. You’re just on your own timetable. So am I. Often in my life, I’ve felt like I was being left behind. Being autistic, some things just haven’t come as naturally for me as they seem to for other people. Unfortunately, these have included hallmarks of American life often used to symbolize being “an adult” like driving on my own or getting my first paid job. Stuff that many people here do in their teens took me until my early-20s to finall...
