I feel like if you drink coffee you’d love the over the top sweet drinks

and I mean gallons of sweet syrup, lots of whipped cream and sprinkles, maybe some cookie crumbs in there perhaps pure sugar like the kind of drink the employees of Starbucks despise making

but you’d forbid yourself from drinking them

*Pink is quietly confused a moment.*

..........I hadn't realized you could have coffee like that?

I'm aware you can drink it similiar to tea but.........it does sound quite pleasant if rather......sweet.

Not something to have often.

“In 2015, the Spanish Parliament [. . .] enacted a law inviting the Sephardim—Jews who trace their roots to Spain—to return.” —from “Spain’s Attempt to Atone for a 500-Year-Old Sin” The Atlantic, Sept. 21, 2019

Land slit like a throat, life poured out like gold coins on cobblestone. Confessions pulled from tongues like toenails off toes. Piled with scorched scrolls: our paschal pyre,

confessions extracted like gold, coins swallowed then picked from the coals. Nothing sacred but pyres piled, a pathetic penance, my hands washed with my blood, an act of faith?

Is nothing sacred but my ashes, picture of oblivion, my name oblivion? My faith forgets its name, washed with blood, my act of courage or escape. Am I nothing? What is nothing?

Oblivion forgets my name, my faith the thing they cannot take, the gold I protect with my life. What is courage or escape? It is nothing I can lose or forsake, they took everything that tied me to this place.

They cannot take my faith, I protect it like gold pulled from tongues like toenails off toes, there’s nothing left to tie me to this place. Land slit like a throat, gold poured out.

There's also a lovely interview of Edythe Eyde put out by Eric Marcus as an episode of the Making Gay History podcast. I especially enjoyed it because she plays a couple of her songs near the end.

fun discovery from today's internet rabbit hole:

the first lesbian magazine published in the US, Vice Versa (1947-48), was entirely hand-typed by one Edythe Eyde (better known by her pen name Lisa Ben - yes, that IS an anagram for lesbian). she worked as a secretary with a ton of spare time on her hands, and her boss would tell her he didn't care what she was doing so long as she "looked busy"... so she decided to use her free time to type out copies of a home-made periodical for lesbians, writing most of the content - editorials, book/film reviews, poetry, short stories, and more - herself!

overall, the magazine ran for 9 issues, 16 hand-typed copies of which lisa would mail to friends (well, until one of them advised her she could be arrested for sending "obscene" materials) and distribute at lesbian bars :)

you have a point about fandoms as a whole having a sexist lean but isn't mei is literally one of the most popular characters in the fandom and dragonfruit one of the most popular ships in the fandom? It's one of the top 5 most written about ships on ao3 if you remove self insert stuff.

So I'll preface this with I only have experience with the lmk fandom on tumblr.

But like, it's 90% shadowpeach stuff (with maybe MK as a third wheel). I know this, you know this. If you look through the "lego monkie kid" tag right now Ne Zha has more content related to him and only him than Mei does—she's usually gonna be thrown in with dragonfruit and traffic light trio (though, admittedly the lmk fandom has a problem of viewing characters outside of shipping in general). For every 1 Mei fanart there's 1 piece of Ao Lie fanart to match despite their vast differences in screen time. Like, am I insane? Am I insane for thinking it's the sexism?
