Fuckin nervous because of this SAVE Act shit.

And, I know a certain trans YT creator is probably punching the air right now because she totally thought the bill was shelved, but we forgot just how desperate Trump is to cheat 🤔

But, keep on these senators' figurative necks. Their offices don't open until a bit later (maybe 8 or 9am est?), but email and fax machines are "open" 24/7.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout is now entering its 18th day after 408 hours without international connectivity for the general public. Chosen users are granted privileged access, while the remainder are left with a limited domestic intranet under increasingly tight control.

EDIT: Wow, thank you all for the many amazing and helpful suggestions! These are great, thank you! We do have almond meal, buckwheat and rice flours (we've got gluten intolerants/coeliacs in our household too) so we'll be able to try some of these recipes and ideas out over the next week or so. I'll update with the results :)

Kid2 is making a cake for her gluten-free friend and the friend has requested carrot cake. So far we've had two test cakes (it's for a special occasion so Kid2 wants it to be very good) and neither has been amazing. Edible? Yes. But not special occasion-worthy.

Does anyone have a failsafe gluten free carrot cake recipe? Boosts very much appreciated
