you will find your home, you will find your place. you will find your people. give it a little bit of time but it will happen.

In academia, people of color and different cultures are often underrepresented. Many people think that reading Donna Tartt, Sylvia Plath, Shakespeare, Aristophanes, etc., studying the ideologies of Nietzsche and Camus, studying Greek art, learning Latin, listening to Bach and Chopin, etc. makes one an academic. That is so untrue because academia, intelligence, music, art, architecture, and literature also exists in cultures outside of Europe and European Americans (yes, I just called white people European Americans) as well.

sometimes, i just don’t feel like talking. doesn’t mean i’m angry with you or upset. it just means the conversation in my head is a little louder than the one you’re trying to have with me

there's just something about bloodstained 19th century clothing and that something is sexy

.......it's the implications of vampirism

[official-lucifers-child]

people will say they aren’t attractive and then go create art and then go write beautiful poetry and then go bake a cake for a friend and then go spread positivity and then go write a novel and then continue to say they aren’t attractive, as if everything they do doesn’t count or doesn’t matter, as if societal expectations somehow decide their worth and fate.

the plague: stay inside

everyone: i must bake Bread, immediately

[bimborights]

maybe if there was any fucking yeast on the shelves at the grocery store!!

[catalystofthesoul]

yeast recipe: mix flour and water into a somewhat liquid. cover, leave on counter. Every day, add a spoonful of flour to the mix, occasionally water if it gets too thick. When the mixture begins to bubble, yeast is active. Keep in fridge, use as much as you need in recipe, literally the yeast left on the edges of the container are enough to make more yeast. Keep feeding it every day :)

[fuckingrecipes]

Not a joke - this is how you make bread starter for sourdough, and how people worldwide make bread at home to this day.

The wild yeast found in flour and in the air of your home can be cultivated by just.... leaving wet flour paste and a sprinkle of sugar out as free real estate.

Yeast moves in, you feed it a bit more every day, and that’s a bread starter!

Mine is about two months old and going strong. Some bakeries pride themselves in having bread starters over a century old. The wild yeast gives bread a complexity and depth of flavor that gives sourdough it’s iconic flavor.

When the yeast is hungry it starts to smell like wine or acetone.

When it’s eating well and happy, it smells like vinegar and fresh bread.

Keeping it cold slows its metabolism, so you can put it in the fridge if you don’t make bread every day.

In the fridge you only have to feed it every 2 days or so. Left out at room temperature, you have to feed, and take a piece off for baking every day.

Yeast is killed at temps over 85 degrees Fahrenheit, but it can withstand short periods of being frozen, so the cold fridge is fine.

As long as you have flour on-hand, it’s basically infinite ready-to-bake bread.

So far I’ve used my bread starter, mixed it with flour and water, and made:

Dumplings (rolled dough flat and stuffed with minced veggies)

Bread loaves (duh)

Fried dough balls

Elephant ears (that cinnamon-sugar ❤️)

Pizza crust

Plus eggs and butter = cakey bread
