I made a super slimy batch one time when I got interrupted for about ten minutes after I blended the oats but before I strained the oat milk. But I will warn you, I found the resulting product pretty undrinkable.

I made a Cara Cara simple this spring that I mix in and it is awesome. I squeezed three Cara Caras and simmered the juice, the rinds, a cup of water and a cup of sugar for about 30 minutes, then I add a bit to my oat milk cold brew lattes for a lil citrusy splash.

I make my own cold brew concentrate and oat milk, and then use the oat milk in place of a third or so of the water. It doesn’t really end up watery, and you can adjust the flavor by tinkering with the oat milk recipe. I prefer it to dairy milk because it is cheaper, lasts longer in the fridge, and causes less suffering to dairy cows (I still consume dairy, I just substitute when possible).

Cascadia! We’ve even got our own separatist journal here in the fediverse, the Cascadia Journal.

There is no “age verification” possible, only identity verification that reveals your age. Once OSes have kill switches installed that operate based on your identity, it’s a pretty straight line to enforcing that only the “right people” have access to computers.

How can I live a life that is truly Good? A life that, at it’s end, I can look back on and say that I left the world, on net, a better place?

The best part of Trump’s makeup is that it is a constant visible reminder that no-one who regularly wears makeup likes him enough to explain how to wear it well.

Seriously, just block them. It’s not a punishment, it’s a curation tool; you’re allowed to block people who haven’t done anything wrong just because you don’t want to see their content. If you don’t like women’s sports, block me! It’s fine — you should have the social media experience you want, and you can use the block button to get it.

Moderation. We had a big influx of users with the Reddit api drama that created a bunch of communities, and then all returned to Reddit shortly thereafter, leaving most of the big communities largely unmoderated. The threadiverse isn’t going to become less toxic until new moderators step in and clean up the worst of it.

I wish they’d go back to four full productions each season. The concert as the fourth performance is just not the same.

The last opera I saw was Fellow Travelers by Spears, an 2016 opera based on a novel of the same title about two men who fall in love during the Lavender Scare. It was absolutely heart-rending, just the most tragic love story you could possibly imagine, and the sex scenes were so hot — I don’t think I’d ever seen a fully nude scene at an opera before, even if it was just from behind, and the tenor clearly had spent some time in the gym to prepare. Highly recommend you go see it if you have a chance.

You’re clearly not listening. It’s a rare day I don’t overhear someone speaking Russian.

edit: to clarify, I’m not sure if you just hang out in neighborhoods with a smaller group of Russian speakers, or if you have a different sense of what часто means than I do, but I can tell you I would have struggled with homesickness a lot less if I had heard English spoken in Nizhni as often as I hear Russian spoken in Seattle.

США, конечно. У нас в Сеаттл много русских, часто русский слышано на улицах. Приезжай к нам — будет лучше здесь через несколько лет, уверен.
