  • If you’re looking for a scramble, things like tofu scrambles can be pretty good! Usually that’s with firm tofu rather than soft tofu, but you absolutely can use soft tofu as well. It can also be seasoned a million different ways. Here’s one example recipe (with firm tofu)

    https://www.noracooks.com/tofu-scramble/

    Soft tofu will have a different texture than firm so you can try recipes for both and see what you think. (EDIT: Note that you generally don’t want to substitute one for the other because of that texture difference so look for recipes that specifically call for using firm tofu or specifically call for soft/silken)


    Soft/silken tofu can also be used as a binder too and replace dairy / eggs in various recipes. Like I’ve made a chocolate mousse with it before and it didn’t affect the taste. Had some friends and family try it and they both didn’t know there was tofu in it and also were surprised to learn it was vegan

    There’s a also some vegan cooking & baking communities here on lemmy if you want other inspirations. Here’s one that’s pretty active !homecooks@vegantheoryclub.org and here’s another that’s a little less active but has recipes for it all !veganrecipes@sh.itjust.works


  • Related note: There are some good vegan eggs out there to give a try!

    If you want something that cooks and bakes like eggs there’s stuff you can by like Just Egg

    For baking there’s a million things you can use that are pretty cheap. For instance, Aquafaba is the leftover water from cooking chickpeas or the water in the can if you buy it canned. Acts like egg whites and can be used as a binder for baking




  • People are pointing out is that at conception there is only one cell, the fertilized egg / zygote. So everyone would have only the “large reproductive cell” (the egg). It’s honestly so poorly written that you could also argue it’s saying everyone’s bigender too


    But as an aside, it’s actually not even true that XY guarantees someone will be assigned male at birth.People with Swyer syndrome present AFAB or intersex while having XY chromosomes

    The opposite is true for people with de la Chapelle syndrome where they have XX chromosomes and present AMAB / intersex.

    Many people with either of those never know they have XY or XX . There’s also way more possibilities than just XX and XY. You can have XXY, XXYY, just X, and more





  • It matters more than you might think even if Republicans generally don’t care about the average person. For instance, in 2023 due to push-back there ended up being enough republican support (~100) to get the 2/3 needed to expel George Santos despite republicans having a super slim majority in the house

    Or they already dropped Matt Gatez as their AG pick because of the push back from Republicans in the senate

    It matters especially on the house side this time as well where they started with a three seat majorities and will be at 1 seat majority until special elections in April. Only a handful of republican defections is enough to kill a bill


  • Keep in mind that as we look at things now, many of Republicans policies are deeply unpopular even among many Republican voters. For instance, Project 2025 has only a 4% approval rating, 57% disapproval

    There is a disconnect between what people think they are voting for and what they are actually voting for. It’s a launching off point to change things from. Many people really did think he would lower prices. If Trump goes through with plans on steep Tarrifs their support will hardly be so vocal for him

    Look at Bush 2004 to - economy crashing - and then Obama 2008


    Lets also look at other areas that we tend to think of as linear forms of progress that really weren’t - like the civil rights era. There were serious regressions during Jim Crow and things took a long time to get better, but the leaders who made progress didn’t give up and were able to get a lot through

    The Plessy v Ferguson ruling was in the 1896. The NAACP started going after different underpinnings of it piece by piece in the 1930s. It took until the 1950s for them to start getting serious wins undermining the Plessy ruling - suggesting that it could fully be overturned which it was in 1954
