the way some of y'all speak so condescendingly to & about vegans & vegetarians or just people trying to recycle or do a little better for the world is sick actually. sorry corporations are the real problem & everything is hopeless but I'm a receptionist lmao I won't fix that in my lifetime but I can minimize the animal products I buy & recyle & try not to buy aersol products & be nice to people. sorry the idea of doing the bare minimum infuriates some of u guys to ur cores but like. get fucked

Courtney: Take a right here. Oscar: Absolutely not. Courtney: C’mon! I have an idea. Oscar: Getting arrested for kidnapping is a terrible idea. [Oscar rolled his eyes as Courtney grinned and raised her hand threateningly; snorting, he threw the indicator on and pulled over with acquiescence, lest she get any ideas and grab the steering wheel herself] … Courtney: Is Levi ready? Nadia: For? Courtney: Camping. Nadia: He’s not going. Courtney: Oh-.. we’ve already booked a spot for him. Nadia: Hm. Courtney: It’d be easier if he were out of your hair for a week though-.. right? [Nadia squinted at the slightly unkempt woman before her; she was clearly mistaken in her previous assumptions that Courtney was a simple, feebleminded housewife] Nadia: Don’t take me for a fool. Courtney: Alright, what’s it gonna be then? Nadia: LEVI! Nadia: Do you want to go camping with these.. people? Levi: I thought you said-… Nadia: Do. You. Want. To. Go? … Nadia: That was quick-.. you won’t bring any bad habits back, will you? Levi: I’ll try not to. Nadia: I’ll miss you, sweetheart. [Levi clenched his bag tightly and ignored his mother’s outstretched arms, knowing full well they’d remain firmly plastered to her waist were there not a car full of Finch’s right next to them] Levi: Hey-.. scootch over, losers. Ava: Hi, Levi’s mommy! [Levi shut the door before Nadia could respond, catching naught but a glimpse of her upturned nose as Oscar sped off]

Batburgers with friends with a side of vengeance.

Jon slapped the burger out of Damian's hands just before he could take a bite.

Damian (left eye twitching): I’m going to try my hardest not to scream at you, but why?

Jon (panicked): That's not a vegan burger! I overheard the cashier—he swapped your burger because he’s related to that bully you tripped. You know, the one who fell down the stairs? The one you told me was picking on you and that friend of yours.

Damian tilted his head in shock, burying his fury over the meat and the deceit. He took the burger and marched to the front counter. Jon watched in horror as Damian shoved the burger in the worker's face.

Damian: You asshole! What kind of pathetic loser messes with someone’s food over some school drama? Tell your brother I’ll deal with him tomorrow!

With a swift punch, Damian sent the man sprawling to the floor. The man screamed as Damian leaped over the counter and began to pummel him. A blonde teenage girl co-worker strolled over, taking a long sip from her large soda cup as she watched the chaos unfold.

Teen worker: Missy, Logan switched a vegan burger with a meat one again!

Jon: Damian, wait—don't assault him!

Jon grabbed Damian before he could break the man's jaw, dragging him backward while carrying the furious boy out.

Damian: You sack of human feces! I asked for a vegan burger, and you almost poisoned me! My father will sue this place! My mother will have your head! And my brothers will break your legs!

Jon: Let’s just go—he’s not worth it!

Damian: You haven’t seen the last of me!

Jon (laughing nervously): He’s kidding!

Jon carried his friend out of the fast-food place, leaving their food on the table as patrons looked on in shock. That shock turned to disgust when everyone focused on Logan, who stood up with a bloody nose and a bruised ego. A couple of teens had even recorded the entire exchange. His manager approached, arms crossed and foot tapping.

Missy: That’s the sixth time you’ve pulled this stunt, but that was Bruce Wayne’s kid, and I overheard everything. You can clock out and meet me in my office.

Logan: Tsk, man! It’s so stupid—I was just trying to help my dumb brother!

I know gagh and assorted offal dishes in Klingon cuisine are a whole can of worms (pun intended?) because they will sound disgusting to most westerners but it's not as if I've never eaten actual blood pie even if I'm from western europe or whatever. I bet gagh has a similar texture to raw mussels. I would try it

It's such bullshit that plant based meats are so much more expensive than regular meat.

I know we all want an og monster hunting trio revival in s5 but consider the following instead:

It's giving The boys are back in town, the boys of summer, The boys are back. A little mansplain, manipulate, malewife. Very much introducing your new bestie to the one that got away and them hitting it off.

thinking about peni again

Thinking about her getting fearfully attached to an idealized version of her younger self that was happier. Playing up her energy and wit because she thinks its what she has to be, and she misses not having to worry so much and press on through responsibility.

But never really feeling like she's known by anyone. People think they get her, but they don't. She's a young star, a brilliant student of the program, the lead Pilot - We know in canon that people look up to her. But then she sheds first the SP//DR mech, next her suit, finally the face she puts on, and she's alone in her room with only herself

do you really think sam is a "not like other girls" white feminist?

I don't think Sam is an "I'm not like Other Girls™" white feminist. She is an "I'm not like Other Girls™" white feminist.

Her "fuck you I got mine" mentality is prevalent as early on as the very first episode when she forces the school board to adhere to a vegan menu for an entire week as a massive middle finger to any low-income student that relies on the food at school for their only stable meal, and can't really afford to just forgo fats and proteins for a week, as if your average person can just go vegan at the drop of a hat with no dietary set backs.

"This is what I get for thinking like an individual!?" No, this is what you get for trying to force everyone around you to adhere to your personal quirks.

I wouldn't have as big of an issue with these aspects of her character if they were treated as the character flaws that they are, but they're not. Sam's self-centred "I want rights and freedoms for me and people who think like me, but everyone else can fuck off and die" attitude is basically glorified throughout the show, and I don't like that.

Of course this is, primarily, a product of the show's time, bit still. It irks me.

لبن نباتي / Lbn nabati (Vegan traditional buttermilk)

Lbn (لْبْنْ or لْبَنْ; also transliterated "lban") is a Moroccan buttermilk drink. It is not to be confused with standard Arabic لَبَن‎ ("laban"), meaning "milk"; with Levantine لَبَن‎ ("laban"), also called لَبَن رَائِب ("laban ra'ib"), which is curdled milk (a.k.a., yoghurt); or with Levantine لَبْنَة‎ ("labna"), which is yoghurt that has been strained and thickened.

Instead, lbn is a traditional buttermilk. It is historically made the same way Western traditional buttermilk is: by leaving raw milk to sit at room temperature while the cream separates and rises to the top, allowing the cream to ferment, and then churning the cream until it separates further into milk solids (cultured butter) and a cultured liquid byproduct (traditional buttermilk). Commercial Western buttermilk, and some Moroccan lbn, is now no longer traditional buttermilk but instead cultured buttermilk, which is produced by fermenting low-fat milk; this produces a thicker, more acidic liquid than traditional buttermilk. Lbn is usually made with goat's milk, though cow's milk is also often used.

Lbn—very sour and tangy, slightly sweet, and about the consistency of milk—is consumed as a refreshing after-dinner drink during the summer. It is also used to soak كُسْكُس ("couscous") (made from durum, barley, or corn flour). Couscous with lbn is called سَيْكُوك ("saykouk") in Darija (Moroccan Arabic), or أزَيْكُوك ("azaykouk") in Tamazight.

Saykouk is a cold dish, commonly eaten in the desert and in rural areas during the summertime; but it is also sold from food carts and by vendors on bicycles year-round in cities. On Fridays, Moroccans often eat couscous dishes with lbn on the side, and may make some on-the-fly saykouk by pouring lbn into their bowls to soak the couscous that remains after the vegetables or meat in the dish have been eaten.

This recipe resembles cultured buttermilk, in that it ferments non-dairy milk with live cultures to achieve a sour taste. However, it more resembles traditional dairy buttermilk in taste and texture. Note that this lbn is intended for drinking and for recipes that call for Moroccan traditional buttermilk, and not for replacing Western cultured buttermilk in pastries or pancakes.

Recipe under the cut!

Ingredients:

2 cups full-fat oat milk

1-3 vegetarian probiotic capsules (containing at least 10 billion cultures total)

A few pinches salt

A few pinches granulated sugar

Make sure your probiotic capsules contain no prebiotics, as they can interfere with the culture. The probiotic may be multi-strain, but should contain some of: Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidus, Lactobacillus acidophilus. The number of capsules you need will depend on how many cultures each capsule is guaranteed to contain.

Instead of probiotic capsules, you can use a specialty starter culture pack intended for use in culturing vegan dairy, many of which are available online. Note that starter cultures may be packaged with small amounts of powdered milk for the bacteria to feed on, and may not be truly vegan.

Other types of non-dairy milk may work. My trial with soy milk did not succeed (it never became notably tangy). Soaked and blended cashews will thicken substantially, so be sure to blend cashews with at least twice their volume in (just-boiled, filtered) water if you want to use cashews as your base. I found that oat milk, as well as being more convenient and cheaper than cashews, more closely mimicked the taste of lbn. I have not tested anything else.

Instructions:

1. Boil several cups of water and use the just-boiled water to rinse your measuring cup, the container you will ferment your lbn in, and a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir. Your bowl and stirring implement should be in a non-reactive material such as wood, clay, glass, or silicone.

2. Measure oat milk into a container and open probiotic capsules into it. Stir the powder from the capsules in until well combined.

3. Cover the opening of the container with a cheesecloth or tea towel. Ferment for 24 hours: on the countertop in temperate weather, or in an oven with the light on in cold weather.

Taste the lbn with a clean implement (avoid double-dipping!) to see if it is ready. If it still tastes 'oaty,' continue fermenting for another 1-3 days, tasting every 12 hours, until it is notably tangy.

4. Blend lbn with large pinches of salt and sugar; or put lbn, salt, and sugar in a jar with a lid and shake to combine. Taste and adjust salt and sugar.

5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. This lbn will continue to culture slowly in the fridge and will eventually (like dairy lbn) become too sour to drink.

Serve chilled.
