UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Inspiring: this elbowless man manages to hold down a full time job as a Prime Minister

Mark Carney may look like just another Canadian Prime Minister. But don’t let that fool you. The most inspiring part of his story isn’t that he went to Harvard, or even that he’s made millions working...

It's the Anakin Padme meme. Anakin is now a smoke detector saying I don't have enough energy to tell u if there's a fire. Padme happily asks So u don't have enough energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years? Then she looks worried, and asks again: U don't have the energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years, right? To which Anakin the smoke detector replies BEEP

Does Canada have serious racism problems? Yes. Does Canada do a better job of building a society that integrates non-white immigrants than France does? Also yes.

Techpriest @techpriest.bsky.social · 4d

Anglo "live & let live" integration is demonstrably more successful than French style "aggressive assimilationism" at producing integrated societies, and has been proven to do so in multiple Anglo jurisdictions in (literally) multiple hemispheres! But these people want the thing with worse outcomes!

I have an OXO compact cold brew coffee maker which I use all through the summer and it makes it sooooooo much less hassle to make cold brew at home since it makes the filtering a lot easier.

Devon Paul @devonp.bsky.social · 13d

It absolutely is (the exception is iced espresso products, which are made fresh then iced). Iced coffee tends to be very acidic because it's old, whereas cold brew is super smooth because of the slowness of the steeping.

Devon Paul @devonp.bsky.social · 13d

This is the iced coffee vs. cold brew distinction. Iced coffee is just typically left over coffee with ice in it, whereas cold brew is made by steeping the grounds in room-temp or colder water to produce a concentrate, which is then chilled and diluted at the time of serving.
