A new adventure: Tsundokursed

A new adventure! @tsundokursed

Hi guys! I have stopped publishing articles over here for a few months already. I’m sorry for that happening so soon after a supposedly renewal of the publications but I feel like I’ve grown and this blog wasn’t fulfilling my ambitions anymore. I might need to take a bit of time and come back later in the year with a new take on Little Gladys. Until then, however, you might have noticed from my…

CALL FOR WRITERS

Hi everyone!!

I’m Elissa, founder of Queer as Art! With the summer flow, some of our writers decided to leave the team to concentrate on private matters or due to heavier timetables. For those reasons, we’re currently looking for new writers to join the team! 

We need someone motivated, who’d be glad to stay long term in the project and who has passion about the LGBT community and its art and history. We need someone who can write in English, knows how to keep deadlines and is eager to discuss on Discord for our planification. 

We need writers interested in diverse subjects: 

- international news, updates on the community world wide : 1 or 2 writers 

- history and political aspect of the cause : 2 writers 

- literature and art : 2 writers - I’m currently working on the lit part but I’m looking for other writers to change regularly, you’d thus be working either on cinematography, literature or art. 

- interviews of the community : 1 writer - we need someone to call out to artists or militants and have deep meaningful or not interviews about their fight and the way their art helps them/the community 

- communication manager : 1 social media addict - I don’t have enough time to make the pages we have live enough and you’d be a great help if you’re interested in that! 

You feel like you’re the one we need? Send us an email at [email protected] with : YOUR POSITION/INTEREST - CALL FOR WRITERS as the title! I’ll assess the submissions by the end of the month/or by the 20th of August depending on the number of emails and will contact those who have kept my attention then! 

Our next issue should start being published by the beginning of October so you’ll need to be free starting September/the moment I confirm your proposal. 

This offer is not paid, we are a team of passionate people looking for a way to speak about our history and our community, not always on a social scope. 

Thank you, I hope to hear from you all soon! We’re so excited to work with you!  

Elissa

probably just a one-time contribution for now! I didn't see anything about it and I understand it's just a webzine, but just wanted to check if there's any kind of payment? And when would you want my article by? :)

alright no probs! yep it’s a non-profit webzine, so no payment, only free contribution! could you have that ready by the end of the month maybe? (oh and i’m a bit new to that tumblr messaging, I’ve lost your article idea, could you tell me once again? XD)

Heeyy everyone!

You were wondering what to cook for your breakfast tomorrow morning? Or what to add to your sunday’s lunch that’s quick and easy and tasy to do? I’ve got you sorted!

Today, we’re making Banana Pancakes Two Ways! 

Ingredients :

Pancakes batter:

2 large bananas

2 large eggs

2 or 3 tbspoons of flour

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

Vanilla extract

Honey

Chopped almonds (optional)

Pancakes toppings (to taste) :

Almonds

Melted Chocolate

Honey

  How to : 

Here’s the illustrated bit:

Here’s for the little explanation, in case it wasn’t self-explanatory enough:

Chop the bananas into a bowl, and crush it until it looks like the first picture. We want it to be as smooth as can be : try to remove all big chunks of bananas by mashing them.

Then you’ll need to beat the two eggs together as to obtain pic n.2

Pour the mix into the crushed banana and stir the two together until the eggs are well blended in.

Next, you’ll need to add a bit of flour. It’s not an obligatory step, if you’re gluten intolerant. However, the batter will be very very liquid without it, and it might be difficult to correctly turn the pancakes in the frying pan. I can suggest adding 1/2 or 1 full banana to the mix to make it a bit more fix but do add a bit of flour if you can, it’ll be better. 

Then, you’ll need to add a little bit of baking powder. Half a teaspoon is perfectly fine: it’ll make your pancakes a bit more fluffy.

Then, to taste, add some vanilla extract and a bit of honey. It’ll help diminish the strong egg taste and will surexpose the banana flavour. All good!

You’ll then be going on the cooking part. Remember to oil your frying pan beforehand for the pancakes not to stick on it! Pour into the pan a bit of batter, as to make little round pancakes. As they can be a handful to turn over, making them small will be easier!

You can also chop some almonds and add it on the pancakes when on the frying pan. It’ll taste super good, promise!

  Here’s what it’ll look like:

  Once you’ve done all that, on to the prep! Now’s the best time, actually: decorating your pancakes, adding the toppings, yummy <3

I’ve got two ways to present today! Hopefully one of them will be more of your taste! Here’s what I’ve got to prepare that: melted chocolate, honey, almonds.

You can :

either sprinkle your pancakes with melted chocolate and add a bit of almonds

or cover your pancakes with drizzles of honey and almonds.

Two simple ways of having two completely different pancakes.

The honey one will feel lighter, and you’ll taste the banana flavour a bit more. It’ll also echo with the honey you’ve poured into the batter: all delicious!

As for the chocolate, it’s a bit more strong tasted. However, we all know how GOOD chocolate + banana is : it’s the perfect equation.

And here’s the final result:

  Freaking tasy, right? Now all you’ve gotta do is go out there buy some bananas and treat yaself to some delicious banana pancakes.

Not convinced yet? LOOK. AT. THESE.

You can’t say no to that!!

If that still ain’t to your taste, why not try some of my other recipes? I’ve got a lovely Pain Perdu (French Toast) video over here !

Bon appétit everyone, and see you next tuesday!

Wondering what to eat tomorrow morning? I've got you! Banana pancakes, two ways! #recipe #blog Heeyy everyone! You were wondering what to cook for your breakfast tomorrow morning? Or what to add to your sunday's lunch that's quick and easy and tasy to do?

Happy Friday everyone!

What have you planned for the weekend? Something nice, I hope! As for me, I’ll be concentrating on my reading list for uni, cause Montaigne ain’t gonna read itself, is it?

Today is a special post as it is mostly a video format! Let me give you a bit of context:

Last november, I went to a pop culture/video games/mangas convention in Nantes, named Art to Play.

Inferno || Movie review

Hey guys!

As I’ve been saying in some past articles, last Friday I went to the cinema and saw INFERNO by Ron Howard, an adaptation of Dan Brown’s book.

Once again, I won’t do a comparison between the two; it’s been far two long since I’ve read the book. Here is simply my opinion of the movie as a movie itself and not as an adaptation!

For those of you who don’t know the story here’s the trailer:

Crystal Castle is not to the likes of everybody, but I really do enjoy listening to them. I usually listen to it when I’m writing, as it puts me in some kind of musical transe that is really…

Spread happiness... <3

Today, do spread happiness and positivity. 5 things that made me happy lately; what about you?

Heyaaa,

Today is quite a shitty day. Even though I’m not American I think we’re all aware that this election touches more than only the American people, and I’m distressed. It’s the kind of day where you need to step back, stop thinking a little and spread your love, spread your positivity and happiness.

Thus, even though it’s quite late, I’ve decided not to give up on today’s blogpost, as I had…

Secret Love | Korean Drama

A tad late, today's article... about Secret Love, a Korean Drama!

Hey everyone!

As said in yesterday’s post, today I’ll be speaking about a Korean drama I’m currently watching. It all started in July, when a friend of mine watched Kill Me Heal Meand urged a common friend and I to start watching it too. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any wifi until mid-october, which meant I couldn’t start the series, and my other friend gracefully waited for me. We wanted to…

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children | A movie review

Hey everyone!

Well, let’s be honest, I almost forgot to do today’s blog post! I’ve been writing all day long (cause yes, I ended up doing the nanowrimo, bless my soul, and have a quick prayer for my fingers that are spasming on the keyboard), and thus it completely slipped off my mind that I had to write a little something for you guys, which is why I’m a bit late. Well then, what’s today’s blog…

Silence | A short story

Hey guys!

For once, how about I deliver something a bit more personal, a piece of writing I did some time ago? Well, here we go!

I wrote that in French over here, if you’d like to read it in its original form, but here’s a translation for you.

Silence.

They’re two. They’re looking at each others – savages. There’s hatred in their eyes, a little. A lot, even. A terrible need to jump at each…

Hey everyone!

Today’s article is a bit late, sorry about that! I’ve had quite a busy day, and as I’m suffering from some kind of insomnia, I have a lot of sleep to retrieve, which meant I frequently end up napping mid-afternoon. Well, anyway, let’s hop on today’s matter:

As some of you may know, I went to the United Kingdom for the first time ever this…
