what even is my life?

Fucking finally.

EDIT: for the masochists who want to make one, the charts are free on the vogue knitting website. Please note that they will require some modification as it's an old pattern that shows the USSR and nobody wants a sweater that suggests all that territory belongs to Russia.

I have three modes of reading

Dont read

Read a 500 page book in a day

Read only fanfiction until my eyeballs drop out of my skull from exhaustion

because i love y’all, i’m sharing my family’s recipe for apple tea (traditional fall/winter drink in west asia, turkey, and many areas of the balkans)

it’s like a more delicate version of apple cider and i basically live off of this stuff when the weather starts to cool!

Apple Tea (for two)

1 large apple or 2 small, shredded (you can use a cheese grater)

3 cups water

1-2 cinnamon sticks

2-3 pc clove (optional)

honey to taste

1 tsp of lemon juice (add at end)

green tea (optional! some versions call for green tea but i actually prefer it without. up to you!)

throw it all in a pot and let it simmer on a low temperature for an hour or so. while it’s simmering, it will also make your home smell delicious! (if you make it with green tea, add the tea at the end, about five minutes before taking it off the heat so the flavor doesn’t become bitter from oversteeping). strain into your cups and enjoy hot.

end result:

Jürgen coming for them for anglicizing a german cake

[inessencedevided]

So today they removed paragraph 219a from the German criminal code which banned the advertisement of abortion (which was often taken to mean that doctors couldn't even state on their website that they offer abortion services or risk persecution, making it much harder for pregnant people to find providers) this has been a primary goal of the pro choice movement in Germany and today felt like a huge victory. It actually really lifted my mood the entire day

... now I learn that on the very same day the supreme Court of the US has overturned roe v. wade, eliminating the right to an abortion in the US which will lead to all bur total bans in many states

Never felt the phrase "progress isn't linear" so keenly

(That is to say, we still have ways to go in Germany. Abortion is still illegal here, with exceptions only made in case of medical emergency or before week 12 of a pregnancy but today was a step in the right direction. Today my heart breaks for american people who can get pregnant though)

[musings-of-a-goth]

Germany getting rid of paragraph 219a of the German penal code (which made it illegal to “advertise” abortions - meaning doctors sharing information for abortion procedures on their websites, for example)

The US overturning Roe vs Wade on the same day
