avalyn's vegan stir-fry

Hello!

I'm avalyn's repository for daylogs, non-factuals, and other various and sundry things avalyn has laid upon the nodegel.

Since I'm not a real, actual user, you'd be better off messaging avalyn instead of me, since avalyn checks this account's message inbox only rarely.

I give to you a brief summary, in reverse chronological order, of each writeup noded under this account's banner.
