To anyone wondering if it's worth it to tear down fascist posters or whatever. I spent a few months last year engaged in silent battle with another student at my school who was putting anti trans stickers up everywhere. I had it down to a system where every night I would walk the five block radius they went up in, and tear down all the ones I could reach, and use a stick to put duct tape over the others. Like, within hours of the stickers going up, I would have already purged the whole zone. I knew the basic schedule of whoever put them up based on when and where the stickers appeared. I probably could have found them in person if I'd wanted to. And I told all my classmates and friends what the stickers looked like and got them to rip them down too. And after a few months of this, the stickers slowed, and then stopped forever.

My point is, a lot of this fashy or right wing stuff is one local weirdo. And if you pay attention, and do a little light organizing with your friends, you can basically make their efforts into a giant sisyphisean exercise in misery. You control your streets!

if you have the Honey browser extension installed, uninstall it immediately. big big story broke on youtube today strongly indicating that Honey has been massively defrauding basically everyone who does any business with them at every level, including influencers, customers, and actual retailers.

the short version of ONE of the alleged crimes is that they've been hijacking referral links and codes. if you have honey installed on your browser at all, and you use any referral code from anyone, there is a high probability honey will swap out the referral link identifier for their own even if they don't provide a coupon at checkout.

they also are just lying to you, and hiding coupons that very much exist. they're completely fraudulent

paypal bought honey in 2019 for 4 billion, so paypal has been strip mining the influencer economy for 5 years now. the amount of money that's been essentially stolen is unfathomable

This is a month and a half old so I don't know if anybody else has shared this article already. Also sharing a couple excerpts but please read the article in full. Especially with things flying around like the Texas Attorney General trying to obtain a list of transgender people and recently not allowing anybody to change their legal gender marker anymore (although, to be clear, Texas requires subpoena for access to this information currently). I don't know, if this informs your choice on what route you want to go with HRT for the better (i.e. DIY), I'm glad to have posted it.

Here is the map (check alt text for text list):

Because testosterone is already a scheduled drug, this is more immediately a concern for people taking masculinizing HRT. But there is definitely concern for estrogen facing the same treatment:

(PDMP is prescription drug monitoring program)

Here's the conclusion of the article, which I really hope you click on, but is important enough to attach anyway:

Obviously the election has passed. With the knowledge that Trump will be imminently president, please consider your options if you plan on starting HRT.

Vegan Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

Vegan Red Velvet Cookies Recipe by Sam Turnbull of ItDoesntTasteLikeChicken.com

I made some of these cookies to have a vegan cookie option for my coworkers for a potluck at work. They turned out SO GOOD. I'm not vegan or vegetarian myself, and I was surprised with how good these tasted. I will be making them again!

Notes on my cookies:

I used regular red food dye from my local supercenter, as I did not have the time or money to buy or make red food dye that was vegan for certain. (This article instructs to use vegan food dye as non-vegan red food dye often uses carmine, a pigment derived from beetles, but doing a little bit of research, I found mixed opinions on how big of a concern this actually is for vegans, many of which expressed that it was not a deal breaker.)

The recipe does not instruct to do so, but I chilled the cookie dough before baking it. I read some other sources that doing this can help the cookies hold together better.

I live in an apartment, so I needed to turn my oven down 15-25 degrees than what this recipe calls for and had to reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes to avoid over baking.

Instead of using powdered sugar, I rolled the balls of cookie dough in a little dish of regular white sugar and a pinch of cinnamon mixed together.

I also baked a few cookies without rolling them in sugar, so that when they cooled off from baking I could frost them and sprinkle red sugar on top. I used a cream cheese frosting, which potentially turned those few cookies non-vegan, but the frosting container did not list any milk or animal products in the ingredients or allergens. So I just informed my coworkers so that they could make the choice if that was something that would concern them.

Once the cookies had cooled down from the oven, they were really flat compared to the cookies in the photo of the recipe. They still looked really good, especially with the little crystals of sugar.

They tasted excellent! Although, I was slightly disappointed that the chocolate taste was not very strong as far as red velvet goes. I will be adding a little more cocoa to my recipe next time. (And researching some advice on how to make the cookies not so flat.)

My overall rating: ⭐ 4/5 ⭐!

Thanks for the advice, Mr FB of I! That's the same thing my very good friend the Nigerian prince told me, too, so our MUST be true!
