#dirty ice cream

[filipinofoodart]

Who saves the day on a hot afternoon? Your neighborhood sorbetero! In the early 1900s sorbeteros once carried sorbetes balanced on carrying poles*, similar to that of taho today. Around the same time some of the first ice cream shops were being opened by Americans in Manila. It was also around this time that the term “dirty ice cream” was referred to sorbetes, likely by Americans visiting and escaping the heat. Today we continue to enjoy sorbetes, pushed around in colorful, often personalized wooden carts similar to the creativity painted on many jeepneys. Grab a scoop (or sandwich) of sorbetes and say hello to your local superhero sorbetero! https://filipinofood.art/portfolio/sorbetes/ *From Ambeth Ocampo’s “Dirty Ice Cream: Looking back 14.

Something beautiful about the word transsexual is that contrary to popular (often by transmeds) belief, it has always included people who don't medically transition in anyway. It simply is an older word for what a lot of people would now call transgender and there are so many transsexual elders who never went on hormones and never had surgery but have identified as transsexual for decades and still do. I know transmeds have been around back in the day too, claiming that transsexual is only for medical transitioners, but many elders will disagree. Even if you look at some trans glossaries from 15 years ago they will define transsexual the same way that we define transgender. Transsexual and transgender are largely synonymous with different connotations to different people. The beauty is that we as trans people get to choose whether we want to reclaim a term that was put on us by cis people, or if we want to claim a term that was created by us for us, and both are beautiful and radical in their own way.

The thing about the history of transness is... we have documentation of trans people having existed for at least a thousand years. Trans history is ancient. We are a fact of humanity, not an option.

The interesting thing about transsexual is that it's a new word - coined in German as Transsexualismus by Magnus Hirschfeld in the 1920s, introduced later as transsexual. Around this time, more people were interested in what would be known as transsexualism. It's around this time and after the war that more and more medical transition options became wide-spread and practiced. Medical transition is by no means as experimental as people fear monger it to be, but in terms of trans history, we're living in a vastly different era than our trans ancestors.

The understanding of transsexual depends on who you ask, but it's my opinion that we ought to include as many transsexuals as possible. The idea that transsexuals are the Good Trans People, the ones who Put In The Work is an idea that's based on transphobia, not the language that's used. The attitude is the problem, the idea that we are inherently broken or must prove ourselves worthy is separate from the words that we identify with or are used to describe us.

It's for this reason that transsexualism is important to me. It's for this reason that I want as many people to be transsexuals as possible, whether or not you medically transition. I personally started preferring transsexual because I see it as political, as personal, as a community of beautiful people I want to help make good. If you don't identify as transsexual, that is great! But, please, know that transsexuals are also not stereotypes. We're not the Good Ones. We are part of the broader trans community, and thus, we should all work together.

you might think i grew out my hair because I simply think it's pretty. but in truth it is so that i can eat ice cream and when i inevitably get it on my shirt, i can simply hide the stain with my hair.

talon's been such a fun oc so far because he's essentially written himself.... thats probably Not Super Great in terms of originality but whatever no idea is original and its been fun to easily piece everything together while getting to know him better ^_^

Teaschooler just cooked his first pita, start to finish - we measured the ingredients together, and he rolled three out (I rolled out the other nine, but he's improved in speed from when I did twenty-two gyoza and he did two), and he FLIPPED THE PITA BY HIMSELF. And he put it in the bread bowl all by self too! We did the first eleven together, and then he had to use his new knowledge to decide when to flip it.

Some intervention was needed to prevent him from flipping it thirty times in a row in sheer delight at his new skill, but this is like 80% all by self.

Ponytober Day 5: Accidents Happen!

Introducing 2 more of my new oc's: Orange Dreamsicle(left) and Deepsea Dive(right)!!! (they're gay!!!)

i had a lot of fun making both of these, but i did kinda go overboard making Orange and ended up not having that much steam when it came to make Dive, so i'll probably redesign him in the near future. but i also wanna make full reference sheets for them both! so expect that sooner or later!!

Quick note foranyone who likes to bake:

If you're sifting powered sugar with a metal sifter into a metal bowl, DON'T DO IT ON TOP OF A FOOD SCALE.

The powered sugar through the sifter generates a ton of static electricity and touching the bowl will release it, causing the food scale to short out and reset. You won't know how much sugar you have sifted already.

Also it lowkey hurts 0/10 do not recommend. totally didn't shock myself on purpose a few times before realizing it was fucking with the scale

Weigh the sugar out first, then sift it into another bowl away from the food scale to avoid shorting it out
