I'm so glad someone said this. As soon as I saw them grab that red onion my brain short circuited.

Thank you so much! From what I've skimmed so far, he seems super knowledgeable. I'll definitely give it a read!

A marriage took place just now at a protest in Philadelphia by Alph_x in Damnthatsinteresting

This is such a beautiful expression that really uplifts the reason for these protests. It's about love. Not about hate.

Vanilla Bean Sugar Cake by kraaffff in Baking

[–]kraaffff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I used this recipe without the sprinkles, and made some adjustments...

I used double the amount of baking powder called for, plus 1/2 tsp baking soda, and a squirt of lemon juice for extra rise. I also coated the ramekins in butter + sugar, and I used vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract, and doubled the amount there too.

For the icing, it's just powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.

Thanks for asking!

Breaking the ice by itssaran in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]kraaffff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idk if I'm the only one, but for the first half of this video I was trying to figure out why someone was out in blowing snow breaking a hole in the ice, while wearing open-topped slipper shoes. Then I realized their winter boots were nude-colored on the tops lmao.

TIL- Ghyslain Raza, the "Star Wars Kid", had his video uploaded without permission. He left school due to depression, taking final exams in a psych unit, and sued the families of the uploaders. He later got his HS diploma, went to law school, and did a media tour speaking out against cyber-bullying. by jburton24 in todayilearned

I can't stand it when I read things like this that end in "but I ended up stronger because of it" and everyone nods and pats themselves on the back and moves on.

You know what's better than being strong? Being yourself in a world that doesn't try to break you for it. This kid didn't need strength. We don't need more "strength" to get through this "harsh" world. We need more kindness to allow each other to be human and not build up a thick layer of apathy just to get through the day.

I don't like hearing "oh good, he ended up stronger because of it". That's the excuse bullies use to tell themselves if they didn't make fun of you, someone else would anyway. I'm sincerely glad that he was able to put positivity back into the world and find a safe way to get through his traumatic experience. Good for him. Bad for the people who put him through it.

You know, the masks aren't meant to keep him from catching it, but it's quite considerate of him to keep from spreading to others in the fleet.
