This doesn’t just go away when we resume posting

This doesn’t just go away when we resume posting but in support of the #amplifymelanatedvoices movement, my own original content will be on hold this week, including the podcast.⁣
⁣
I’ll be sharing other people, podcasts, platforms, organizations, books, films—anything useful—in stories.⁣
⁣
In additon to creating space for others to be heard, I’ll be educating myself on how to be better moving forward ❤️ for more on the movement see @blackembodied @jessicawilson.msrd

I, like you, am outraged, appalled and disgusted by the recent flagrant displays of racism in our country. I know that this is nothing new and just happened to be caught on camera, grabbing the attention of the nation.
⁣
In recent days I have also become aware that while I’ve always considered myself “not racist” that is simply NOT enough. It’s also not enough to ask you, this community, to share resources with me. I’m committed to doing the work, to be ACTIVELY anti-racist, to learn more about what POC have endured for hundreds of years in this country and still endure today, and how our—my—actions or inaction have contributed to that. I’m committed to read, watch, listen, have conversations with my friends and family, donate, get involved where I can. ⁣
⁣
I’m sharing some resources I’ve found (it feels insignificant and not enough, but it’s a start) and some that were shared with me so we can start doing what’s right for our friends. Swipe through for a comprehensive list from @goodgoodgoodco 🙏🏽 I stand with you ❤️⁣ artwork credit @shirien.creates ⁣

Are you team:⁣
⁣
A) powdered donut ⁣
B) glazed donut ⁣
⁣
I can’t even tell you how many attempts and fails I had this week at making donut holes so I had to resort to my go-to life hack: pancake mix! 😅 I use it for baked goods when I’m feeling lazy or frustrated and that was me this morning. I am still working on a super healthified low FODMAP version so stayed tuned but for now, enjoy these easy peasy donut holes! 🍩 ⁣
⁣
INGREDIENTS:⁣
⁣
2 cups pancake mix (I used birch benders)⁣
1/2 ish cup water ⁣
Powdered sugar (I used lakanto)⁣
A few tbsp milk of choice (I used hemp)⁣
Vanilla extract ⁣
⁣
DIRECTIONS:⁣
⁣
Preheat oven to 350⁣
Mix pancake mix and water until JUST moist enough to hold together⁣
Roll into balls and arrange on a baking sheet; bake for about 10 minutes⁣
Remove, brush with water or milk, roll around in powdered sugar⁣
For glaze: combine about 3/4 cup powdered sugar with a few tbsp milk; dip donut in glaze and let harden (which I was too impatient to do here)⁣
⁣
FYI in case you’re wondering I’m team both but if I absolutely had to choose I’d be powdered I GUESS ⁣
⁣
Who’s gonna try this? xx
