it's almost summer do you guys want my stupid hyperoptimized lemonade recipe that takes half a day to make and whips absolute ass

[passumbapper]

Fruited Lemonade That Makes You Reconsider It All

ingredience:

lemons/limes (this needs to make up the bulk of the fruit being used, like at least 80%)

whatever other fruits or fruit scraps you want, plus any herbs/other flavorings you want to try. by fruit scraps I mean things like cherry pits, apple peels, pineapple cores, strawberry ends, things like that.

granulated white sugar, the coarser the better, 50% by weight of total citrus rinds + 100% by weight of any additional fruit. you'll measure this after you prep the fruit.

water as needed

equipment:

a few nonmetallic mixing bowls

a mesh strainer

a chinoise, ricer or some cheesecloth

a kitchen scale

a citrus juicer or reamer (manual or electric)

a potato masher

juice the citrus through a strainer - saving all rinds -  and refrigerate the juice for the time being. dice the rinds and other fruits if any, keeping the rinds separate. make note of weights, and measure your sugar.

 Place sugar in a large nonmetallic bowl. If using non-citrus fruits and/or any other flavorings, mix them in with the sugar and mash with potato masher. add diced citrus rinds, mix thoroughly, and mash again. cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 4 hours. this allows the sugar to draw out flavors that would otherwise get discarded with the rinds, and the rinds' acids should be enough to dissolve the sugar into a syrup.

Afterward, mash one last time, then collect the syrup by pressing the macerated mixture through a strainer/chinoise or ricer, or squeeze it through cheesecloth. if you want, this can be saved as a standalone syrup at this point, for use in cocktails or desserts. if not, slowly pour the reserved juice through the solids to to help get the remaining syrup out, and squeeze/press again. do the same thing one more time with warm water (roughly the same amount of water as juice). discard solids (or try making sangria with them!).

taste the mixture and add more water if necessary. a stronger mix is totally fine if you anticipate serving over ice on a hot day, or adding booze, or if there was a lot of non-sour fruit. keep in mind that it will taste a bit less sweet once it's chilled. pour into a pitcher and refrigerate.

citrus oils will float to the top, so stir/shake before serving. love you. enjoy.

some tried and true flavor combos:

straight lemon or lime, or any combination of the two, is of course an untouchable classic

lemon & strawberries (that's pussy babe!)

lemon & orange with a hint of vanilla (creamsiclemonade...?)

lemon & apples or apple peels with cinnamon/ginger/allspice (for late summer)

some cocktail type combos, booze optional:

lemon or lime & berries with basil + gin

lime & mint + white rum

lime & ginger + dark rum

lime & cucumber + gin

lime & orange (berries optional) + tequila

lemon, orange & cherry + brandy, bourbon, or rye whiskey

No more waiting, no more debating, go get your hrt. "I don't know if I'm really trans!" You are. Now go. "I'm scared!" We all were. Now go. "There's a long wait to be seen!" Go get your name on the list then. DIY if you need. "What if my friends don't accept me?" They weren't really your friends. Now go. "What if my spouse doesn't accept me?" Get a divorce. Now go. You do not need to continue to live in agony and depression to pretend to be someone else. Go get your hrt.

I can't make a single post about autism on any subject at all or people will act in my mention like we can all just choose not to live in the world

[ntrider]

"if people treat you like shit you can ignore them!" ^_^ have you never needed anyone's help for anything before?

[ntrider]

remember when I made that post about how I didn't like the "bitches I score because of autism" memes because it was really ignorant of reality to both act like people wanting you "because of your autism" is a good thing inherently and also that even the most autistic or otherwise "neurodivergent" of people I knew still hated me for behaviors I couldn't control and then hundreds maybe thousands of people said that it was a skill issue and also if autistic people tend to hate me then I must be a shitty person in the first place because they don't have that problem

I have to be honest a lot of you are genuinely cruel human beings

[boybeetles]

A lot of people seem to mix up ‘community’ with ‘friend group’ so when they read ‘no one should be abandoned by the community. No matter what they did’ they think it means ‘you have to be friends with abusers’. When in reality it means ‘no matter what someone does they shouldnt be left to go homeless and be denied financial, housing, medical, etc aid’

You don’t have to be friends with these people, no one is saying that. It’s just saying that you should support rehabilitative justice, support programs that help homeless people, support funding for free medical services, and make sure they don’t turn away anyone who needs help.

[tenguswind]

Lets add some VERY important nuance

" they think it means ‘you have to be friends with abusers’. When in reality it means ‘no matter what someone does they shouldnt be left to go homeless and be denied financial, housing, medical, etc aid’ *this does NOT apply to murders, rapists, pedophiles, or abusive assholes who are unapologetic and not trying to heal. Community CAN turn its back on threats. Community COMES TOGETHER TO FIGHT AGAINST THREATS.

We DO NOT EVER allow abusers, murderers, rapists or pedophiles INTO THE FUCKING COMMUNITY

[boybeetles]

[miseria-fortes-viros]

The minute a community allows an exception to the requirement of basic human rights, that exception will be stretched to unrecognizable limits in order to apply to people the in-group just doesn’t like. “Abusive unapologetic assholes”. What does that mean? What are the qualifiers for this subcategory? What counts as “trying to heal?” Are you reviewing on a case-by-case basis? Who is doing the reviewing? “Murder(er)s”. First degree? Second? Third? Self defense? Manslaughter? Do you need video footage or just a conviction? Does self defense matter to you? Are you reviewing on a case-by-case basis? Who is doing the reviewing? “Rapists”. Do you know how many people are on a sex offender registry for the crime of being transgender, crossdressing, or performing in drag? For being homeless and not having access to a proper restroom? For daring to be trans and not informing a sexual partner until after the act? Are you reviewing on a case-by-case basis? Who is doing the reviewing? “Pedophiles”. Does this mean people convicted of child sex crimes or does it extend to people who are just kind of creeps? How do you feel about people who read Lolita? Some people think this category should include drag artists who read books to children, do you agree with that? Are you reviewing on a case-by-case basis? Who is doing the reviewing?

Shelter is not a privilege. Food is not a privilege. Medical care is not a privilege. Life is not a privilege. These are human rights. If you disagree with any of this, for any reason, you need to ask yourself: Is this being reviewed on a case-by-case basis? Who is doing the reviewing? Who can be trusted to do this reviewing in a way that I agree with, without making any mistakes or being bought out by someone with influence and an agenda? Are there other suitable punishments for these crimes that do not violate human rights laws?

There is a threat to the community. It’s fascism. This is how it gets its foot in the door. Don’t worry, it won’t get to you, you’re in the group. But you’re not in the in-group. What happens when the in-group stops liking you? I’m sure you can be bent into the shape of the things they don’t like rather easily. In fact, if you give it some time, the things they don’t like can be stretched quite nicely to fit you without having to bend you very much at all.

These people you don’t like can be put very far away from you. You don’t have to interact with them. You can hate them, even. You never have to see them again. But any advocation for the cessation of human rights, no matter the circumstances, is fascist propaganda. You are a fascist. That is a threat to the community.

I'm sorry guys A few years ago I found a button that says 'press this to make the world 1% more evil' and I have just been pressing it and pressing it all day long every day. I'm not going to stop pressing it anytime soon but I wanted to say I'm sorry. also I'm very happy to say that I have forgiven myself so that's a big milestone for me

savior syndrome in the scene is pernicious and dangerous. do not seek “justice” for others if they have not expressed the desire to do so.

that kinda stuff can get someone who’s been/is being abused but is not safe to leave or report at risk of further assault or even murder.

i had to drop a friend for this recently. i understand the intentions, but i have personally dealt with the fall out of these “saviors”.

things i had told a trusted friend about my abuser and i’s relationship were spread around, and i woke up to half my town knowing about some of the worst things that have ever happened to me. but because my abuser and i still lived together and i didn’t have a way out financially (plus i am disabled and use a wheelchair full time which made moving harder), i had to stay. i was forced to recant, publicly call myself a liar so he didn’t kill me, and then suffer further abuse silently up until i was able to leave so as not to risk death again.

keep your community safe. don’t spread allegations without getting the victim’s consent and ensuring their safety.

rb with your most common recurring theme in your nightmares. mine is pregnancy

[communist-hatsunemiku]

My advice to other trans women on this site: block. And don't just block one user here or there, if you come across a seemingly popular terf/zionist/maga/whatever the fuck blogger, use their blog to block dozens upon dozens of these people at once. Ideally a good blocking session will add a couple hundred blogs to your blocklist.

Find a terf post with a few hundred reblogs, and block every single person who reblogged it uncritically. Then find another post, and do the same. Do this multiple times, and keep doing it! Complete this mass blocking process as many times as you are able, it is time consuming and tedious, but it is necessary!

You need to discard any apprehensions about blocking people who have not attacked you directly, you need not worry about blocking someone who may not 'deserve' the block, your safety and peace of mind is more important than any potential casualties incurred in your blocking sprees.

[txttletale]

just reblogging this again because i cannot recommend this enough this is key to how i keep myself safe and happy online this is one of the great secrets to nice time on the computer mindset

[orchidvioletindigo]

If you are a TME person who shares a lot of trans women's fundraisers and other posts, you should be doing this as well if you are able. Especially if you make a point of posting transfeminism. We can become a vector through which creeps can find these women.
