Salteñas are a type of empanada found in Bolivia, and one of Bolivias most famous and beloved culinary exports. Like many such foodstuffs, the exact composition varies, but salteñas are generally notable for a few features: a sweet and spicy flavor, a more liquid-y filling than other empanadas, and a filling containing a wider variety of ingredients--sort of like a whole meal in a pocket, like a pot pie. A typical salteña might contain something like chicken, a whole hard-boiled egg, raisins, peas, carrots, potatoes, and olives, as an example. Vegetarian or vegan salteñas are less commonly found due to the relative lack of vegetarianism in Bolivia, but there is nothing in the definition of the dish that precludes a vegan salteña.
Salteñas are also a great option for a meal on a budget. You can often find them for $2 or $3 at local restaurants or food stands, and with their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink fillings and larger size, one or two can easily make a satisfying meal.

It’s making me feel crazy but I’ve started telling the queer people I’m close with that I’d help them get out of the country or hide at my place as shit devolves in this shithole of a country. It makes me feel like I’m panicking about something that’s on no one’s radars, but I also see this devolving into rounding people up into camps real quick.
:amerikkka::anarchy-trans:
if shit does hit the fan, y'all can absolutely come stay at my place. not about to doxx myself rn, but like, if things got bad, I would absolutely risk it and start handing out my address. I am 100% committed to using every ounce of my privilege to protect people.
I wish I could help with more communities because I know there are people who are already being kept in camps and feeling the effects of genocidal policies. But I know hundreds of queer people in my surrounding counties. In terms of groups I know I have the connections to support in any meaningful way, this is it.
I’m scared by the amount of people who have reassured me over the past couple days that I’m not off base here
I've read enough books about the worst crimes in history to know that now is the time to be panicking. I don't know where you'd go, but now is a very good time to leave America and burn the bridges behind you.
And if you can't leave move to liberal cities in the North and West. And if you can't do that find other marginalized people in your area, get strapped, and practice mutual aid.
Do you think we'll really be fine if we're cishet passing? I've been concerned that once it gets to camps they'll go hunting for anyone who knows anyone who is LGBT. It's part of why I don't have any social media, I don't tell doctors about my sexuality, and my therapist is private and also gay. I can't get a beard though I don't talk to any men.
edit: taking beard applications from homosexual men in the US; I will teach you all my knowledge from my Christian upbringing and we'll go to my old parish together (it's in a liberal area). must like cats
