Tuo taste test two: 10 year aged raw pu erh with sticky rice herb.
First impression: Unlike any other pu erh I've tried, even as far as raw ones and sticky rice herb ones go. Smells good. Cat does not approve. She's not supposed to be on the counter.
Flavor: Like many shengs, it begins with a fungal decaying leaf funk but has a great aftertaste. The aftertaste is REALLY good. It is very much like sticky rice. I'd consider getting more of these.

@rees @Piss_Ant @AnungIkwe @earlgrey Yeah deadass the entire thing would've been over if she'd just released the 2 minutes of actual apology video and left it at that lol

@earlgrey @Piss_Ant @AnungIkwe I mean, apparently she has a discord channel and reddit board where her craziest fans call her "mommy" so I'm thinking she figured she was immune from criticism.
I also find it extremely amusing that she leans heavily into being an internet leftist (ffs she's friends with/does podcasts with The Serfs) but this shitfest has revealed that she's rich as fuck, owns multiple BMWs, and was planning to become a landlord.

@earlgrey @Piss_Ant @AnungIkwe Started out with her making dumbass post on twitter accusing someone of "stealing her editing style." People who worked on her old collab channel came out saying she's a nightmare to work with and they're not surprised she blew up at someone else over some stupid shit that doesn't matter because she's Like That.
Then she made an "apology video" that was about 2 minutes of an actually decent apology and 40 minutes of smearing everyone she used to work with and saying she's actually the greatest boss in the history of jobs and the other people in the collab channel were either pedophiles/pedo enablers or lazy backstabbing moochers.
The apology/smear vid pretty much broke a dam and now people are roasting the fuck out of her.

@polarisera I feel like a lot of kids (depending on age) probably don't understand the difference between drag and like, Halloween. And kids fuckin love Halloween.

@polarisera Great questions. The local library here has grandparent story time, which is basically what you described with old folks reading to kids. There's also a dog story time where kids who are learning how to read can take turns reading a short book out loud to a trained therapy dog, and story times with various librarians.
I don't think there's ever been a drag story time in my town, though the library does have a truckload of gendie kids' books.
A drag thing at a school was recently canceled here due to "terroristic threats" or something so I think the ones here know that messing with kids isn't going to be tolerated. No one cared when they had their own drag shows in their own venue.

@GalacticTurtle The part about compliments is very interesting to me. I also fondly remember this one time like 10 years ago when a woman in a public bathroom said that my earrings looked nice, a couple weeks ago when a lady on the street said she liked my shirt, last night when a lady at the grocery store said she liked my hairpin, etc... But I look back on most compliments I receive from men with disdain, at least when it comes to appearance. What does he want? What's he trying to do?
I occasionally take commissions to write articles for the paper (usually about new businesses and stuff) and I like it when men compliment my writing skills and things like that, but I often get angry/suspicious when they compliment my appearance.
When a woman compliments my appearance though, I'm like "Oh, I must look really good today" or "What a nice lady."
I wonder if men feel the same way to an extent. If a man randomly compliments another man about his appearance, does it come across like the complimenter is plotting something nefarious or wants something from the complimentee? Is that why men don't compliment each other as much? Or do men just want compliments from women specifically?

@Piss_Ant They're apparently called "monofins" if you want to look into it. I found this out while reading reviews on a hairpin shaped like a whale tail.

@Gnomeshatecheese @Cousin_Isobel It's complicated.
I grew up in a Christian environment where people were extremely fixated on the apocalypse. Teachers frequently told my class that we probably wouldn't live to see adulthood because we were living in the end times. It fucked us up. Scaring kids with global warming shit will fuck them up in the same way. It is actively fucking them up. Kids feel like they have no future. The problem is if their parents watch the news or something, the kids will hear about these things anyway. Kids listen to these things.
Even if we accept that climate change is 100% real and 100% caused by human activity, what the fuck is an 8 year old gonna do about it? Most adults can't even do shit about it. The amount of people who actually have the power to do shit about it is mad small.
This begs the question, would it be better to introduce this concept to kids in a gentler tone through a children's book? I don't know. I haven't read these books, so I don't know if they're activist like "The Lorax" or activist like a pamphlet from The Extinction Rebellion.
I have no idea about the effects of like... Teaching 5 year olds about the abuse of migrants or whatever. Kids' TV shows have handled very serious subjects well (such as the Sesame Street episode where Big Bird learns about death, and the Mr. Rogers episode about war that iirc only aired once because it was declared too anti-war by the US lol, the Arthur episode about 9/11).
It's also important to note that sometimes seemingly random shit will launch kids (and sometimes adults) into anxiety mode so there's some unpredictability here. When I was like 10 I learned that the sun was gonna freak out and absorb Mercury and Venus and probably melt most of Earth in about 5 billion years and spent like a full year fretting like it could happen any day. I've always been a neurotic dipshit though.

I might try picking up some solid shampoo and conditioner bars. They seem like they'd be convenient.

My first call of the day was someone asking if we could do a burial, service, and obituary in the paper/our website for their dog. I've never had this happen before and it scrambled my brain like an egg. I said I'd call him back. We are a people funeral home.

@Chronic-Yonic Listen. I know I sound like a broken record because I say this all the time, but genuinely, everyone involved in this should go to jail.
