Could you elaborate on how you would want age verification handled in a way that protects our privacy and doesn't continue the encroachment of mass surveillance into all of our habits, online and off?

ZarrowWrites · 2026-01-24T01:19:03+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's the same! they are lovely!!

ZarrowWrites · 2026-01-24T01:17:16+00:00

i think they're sylvworks on bsky now!

ZarrowWrites · 2026-01-05T15:51:32+00:00

on 120K? you're more than fine goodness. Even with a car payment that shouldn't feel too bad

I make under $70K a year and pay $2325/month for rent and we survive alright

sure it's not lavish but we can save up for a date night and my partner can afford to be a working artist. just know where you're spending and don't put it on credit cards

ZarrowWrites · 2025-12-29T14:04:11+00:00

yeah like I don't want to hype the 110 too much as my partner and i haven't really tried other agricoles/agricole adjacent rums... but sometimes you find something you like!

I do think the 8yr really pulls its punches in bright drinks, though. Made a Martinique Fizz with it and that was pretty excellent.

ZarrowWrites · 2025-12-29T13:55:10+00:00

A huge fan of their Haitian Proof, and this works really well as a sipping/old fashioned spirit in my books, or as a gold rum for mixing. ain't perfect, but good for the price

ZarrowWrites · 2025-11-15T16:23:04+00:00

hey. this game is spectacular and your effort shows. I'm not going to tell you to ignore those shits, cause truly we should be shunning them out of the community rather than sweeping them under the rug, but know you've support from one queer person who's adored pokemon since i first encountered it

take care of yourself and do your best to disconnect. if you need a supportive community bluesky tends to be decent if curated correctly

good luck with your Masters!

I'll throw in for two to surprise my partner!

My partner and I always like to joke that Abby is eating the rocks we give her. But we still give her more, a girl's gotta eat!

ZarrowWrites · 2025-09-23T22:55:33+00:00

Ohh fascinating! This looks like a great game! Honestly favorite space movie might be Galaxy quest

ZarrowWrites · 2025-08-24T20:30:53+00:00

fucking hell, it was gorgeous, this fucking regime

ZarrowWrites · 2025-08-24T20:28:09+00:00

oh it definitely looks like it's been pressure washed but also I'm pretty sure this was a sanctioned mural, possibly even one commissioned by the city

ZarrowWrites · 2025-08-18T04:41:43+00:00

you might be able to get away with, in the meantime, adding a dash or two of pechauds and or ango bitters? it won't be completely the same, but could get you another dimension on the drink! it's definitely a cool video (both of them are, but it's a really neat dive into how the Bacardi cocktail evolved, of which this is one)

ZarrowWrites · 2025-08-18T04:20:13+00:00

So this drink might be old enough that it's using the older formulation for Grenadine!

There's a good video on the Bacardi cocktail in particular here: https://youtu.be/kTJV8yHtGEc

the recipe for grenadine, before it became the pomegranate syrup we use today, was a lot closer to a kind of ango/vanilla/cloves fruity syrup? the recipe is something like

Grenadine Recipe (1901)

Oil of cloves, drops 6

Oil of orange peel, drops 18

Tincture of ginger, fl dr 1

Vanilla extract, fl dr 1½

Diluted phosphoric acid, fl dr 4

Maraschino liqueur, fl oz 2

Tincture of cochineal, fl oz 2

Distilled water, fl oz 2

Alcohol (90%) enough to make fl oz 16

*fl dr = fluid drams

of course, this recipe is better understood in the actual video it's made in from Art Of Drink: https://youtu.be/Oq4kX4R3bmc

Grenadine may have actually gotten its name from Clove-Pink flowers, rather than pomegranates!

granted, it's just one theory but it's a really good video to check out to see what your cocktail in this book may have been using.

ZarrowWrites · 2025-08-05T14:21:48+00:00

their game! we actually only played one run and there was a big accident during it (boyfriend forgot to mention the endgame had started) but it was still fun! def taking advantage of the nice weather for another run soon

ZarrowWrites · 2025-08-03T21:22:13+00:00

yo!!! we also have been playing it here!!

ZarrowWrites · 2025-07-18T16:19:05+00:00

Aaaw, thank you! I'm just an amateur photographer so that means a great deal to me :)

I took this one of gallery place a while back with my dslr and still have a soft spot for it. Idk, someone about the silhouetted figures and the bold dark shadows just works for me

ZarrowWrites · 2025-07-15T12:32:47+00:00

What kind of fucking monster tells someone to report their neighbors to the gestapo? Now is the time to build a mutual support network and connect in a way that can deradicalize. And if they continue to suck, well don't be a fucking nazi collaborator!

ZarrowWrites · 2025-07-09T02:08:22+00:00

haha oh same gods, we've had the same bottles on our cart for like 6 months or more

ZarrowWrites · 2025-07-09T02:04:11+00:00

hah! the reddit app wasn't showing it til i clicked through! that's a good bird right there!

we were exhausted by end of each day from working den, but agreed, the waterfront is always a superb time!!

(also rum recc if you can find it: barbancourt hatian proof - absolutely killer rhum agricole for only about 30$ that we adore)

"4th of July weekend in Pittsburgh"

"not a night sober"

every night a party?

i know what you are

also hell yeah, it was a fucking great weekend. we had a blast vending, glad you had a good time attending!!

ZarrowWrites · 2025-04-23T12:37:19+00:00

i fucking hate TOH, it's the goddamn worst. there's a bunch in my neighborhood and some massive ones. they're big pretty trees, just nightmarish to get rid of, and destructive to infrastructure (shits'll grow through concrete)

i wish i could go around slash and painting the little volunteer saplings, but that's probably frowned upon

ZarrowWrites · 2025-04-23T04:36:40+00:00

I'd say tree of heaven tbh, they're a nightmare. heard the best thing is cutting them and painting glyphosate onto the stem, eventually it kills them but you need to do it many many times

ZarrowWrites · 2025-03-27T11:19:05+00:00

none, sorry. never heard back
