Latte art in a black coffee cup w/ a white rim, in a rosetta-like pattern.
A month or so of practice has done wonders on de-rusting my latte art chops... Still not quite there, but tons of progress!
Free Palestine has been banned on TikTok as hate speech.
But it isn't banned here.
Free Palestine.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Voice-to-text did neoliberalism as “Neil Liberalism” and now I’m having a good time picturing a little guy named Neil Liberalism. He’s doing the high hopes dance.
what the actual fuck
Just sharing this banger today for no particular reason...
the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans
It’s fuck Amazon every day, but especially now through cyber Monday.
Yes! just popped open the "Blue Orchid Blend" and the "Phantom Limb Blend" as my first picks -- both are amazing. (I typically try out a roaster's espresso blends before I venture into their single origin offerings.)
As much as my younger self used to complain about the huge family holiday gatherings/meals... I sure do miss 'em now. I'm sorry, my friend -- much love to you.
*ratchet effect sounds intensify*
Overhead pic of this morning's latte art, in a powder blue mug. Looks sort of like a tulip, and sort of like an onion cross section. (Haha -- not my best pour.)
And speaking of coffee -- this morning's pour wasn't my best, but oh man these new beans from Huckleberry Roasters in Denver are reeaaally really good. Definitely a new favorite. ☕
Yep... 5lb bags are a pretty good deal, too.
Just be sure to thaw to room temp (still sealed) the night before opening, or you'll introduce moisture via condensation. (Risks mold + the flavor will be diminished.)
Can also just use frozen beans, but that messes w/ my espresso extraction temps. ☕
This book is especially pertinent right now with thinking about how capitalism and fascism are not just related by symbiotic and reproduce each other. It’s free online
People are like "there are no right wingers on blue sky" and i don't get it there are plenty of liberals on here
Do you remember when Israel said its operation in Rafah would be “limited”? Here they are today! Six months after they started.
Hello USA. Hello World!!
Ayyy, let's go! Nailed my pour this morning too...
A few double chocolate chip cookies cooling on a wire rack
Detail/close-up of one of the cookies cooling on a wire rack.
Hooked up a test batch of double choc. chip cookies tonight before I make a ton of 'em later this week. (The crispy & chewy type, not those bs cake ones...)
10/10, nailed 'em. Folks aren't ready for my dessert game lol
My 'discover' feed is full of coffee, comrades, and all kinds of wild pizza photos. I can definitely get used to that...
Ooh, love this! (And I'm jealous of your Lelit -- is that a MaraX?)
Happy Holidays! ALL Haymarket Books are 40% off through January 3rd!
Oh shit whaaaat?!??? Welp, there's not gonna be any work done over here this afternoon 🎶🔥
Western political commentators who do not frequently talk about the ongoing crimes against humanity that the West is committing in Gaza can not be taken seriously, since they reveal themselves to be nothing more than unofficial spokespeople of the Empire
This has very little to do with Sarah McBride at all. She has a private office with a bathroom in it.
Transgender staffers and Capitol Hill employees do not. Up until yesterday, they could use the bathroom most appropriate for themselves. Now they can’t, and McBride publicly ditched them.
Overhead picture of a brightly lit cup of coffee. It's a latte I made, with a heart-patterned latte art design on it.
Today's rainy Tuesday afternoon coffee break...
Kwame Ture passed away on this day in 1998. Here is a thread of just some of his quotes that I often reflect on:
I would really like the new crop of shitlibs to go away, it was better here before they started pissing in the pool
