I loved bananas, specifically strawberry banana smoothies, but they make my gums and tongue tingle. i spent 20+ years of my life thinking they just did that to everyone. One day I ate one and noticed it was tingling a bit more than usual. I looked it up and turns out bananas are NOT supposed to make your mouth feel like an old TV screen. i can eat banana bread though bc it bakes out the enzyme I’m allergic to. Even if it didn’t id still eat it. Fuck it, we ball.

I have been made aware of the banana discourse so this is my rec. I’m actually slightly allergic to bananas and they make my throat scratchy and one time after I ate a whole one I had to lie down for 30 minutes because it felt like there was a bowling ball in my chest =/ But I learned when you cook/ process fruits their enzymes break down and change and so I’m not allergic to dried or cooked bananas ;) so not a total loss!!!

About thirty second after I took this I offered some of my instant “Cuban Style Rice and Beans” to the one on the end. It’s got banana in it. I always forget that she’s allergic to bananas, because like that’s a really dumb allergy. She said “I’m allergic to banana.” WOW. DID NOT SEE THAT COMING.

i used to fucking HATE bananas, mostly for the texture. they way they were mushy and had stuff that felt like hair on it always freaked me out. but now that ive grown a bit i've learned to love them. theyre a wonderful snack thats easy to eat, and they taste delicious in baked goods. you can find me absolutely DESTROYING a banana nut muffin at any given hour. loving seeing the banana discourse, its healing my soul.

You don't always have to be doing something productive or creative. Sometimes it is okay to just take a step back and exist.

I've posted about this once before and will post about it again, I'm sure. One of the things that I have noticed since getting letterboxed last year is how afraid people are to admit they like something. that new animated k-pop movie on netflix made me notice this again when three of the people that I have on there prefaced their reviews with a variant of "i consumed this ironically, but it was actually kind of good..." ...LAME... and a little bit pathetic to see tbh. We really need to remember that you only live once. just fucking enjoy the stuff you like, and stop asking the world for permission and acceptance to do so! being so afraid of what others will think when you post a review under a kid's movie is more cringe than admitting you like a kid's movie.
