What is potherb mustard? Mizuna? It's similar to rocket?That was just a kind of vegetable that you might not eat outside China , one kind vegetable that was like the greens .
After the millitary training for almost 18 days , I want to share ome kind of food that comes from my hometown which makes me feel a little homesick ，the salted potherb mustard soup ， which is also called "盐齑汤" in Chinese.
You choose the best potherb mustard, then salted it for several weeks , when it all finished , using it with some eggs , some peas and some little meat in your pot to make a pot of warm soup , believe me , words fail to express its wonder .
Idioms spread in my hometown that "one day without the soup , one day sour in your legs !"
Personally, I expect a freshly made hot drink (such as coffee, tea, hot cocoa, etc.) to be at 100°C. You make it by using boiling water (or milk in the case of the cocoa), so that is the expected temperature.
In the US it's spelled albercuecue
If you go with edibles (I find the act of smoking unbearable) definitely start low. And whatever you do, be patient- the "this edible ain't shit" effect is very real, it takes roughly an hour for it to kick in for me. I ended up on 50mg once and it was actually kinda unchill.
I never go above 25mg, once or twice a week, and I'm taking delta-8 which causes less psychotropic effects but fights anxiety and helps me sleep. It's a LOT better at that than alcohol was/is, and healthier.
To start out, 10mg is probably good- it might be a bit weak but that's better than it being too strong. Someone I know started with 15mg and they got really giggly on main(It was fine but yeah)

I don't understand people who waste their time or money on something as superficial as appearance.
What really bothers me is the amount of people that wear layers upon layers of make-up.
It is so terribly environmentally unfriendly. Not just the make-up itself, but all the removal tissues as well.
Destroy the planet so people won't see a wrinkle or freggles? Go away!
Not to mention that you could have done so much more fun and or satisfying things with all that money you spent on face paint.
Eehhh... I'm not even sure I'd count it? Sci-fi's technically there, but it's way more fantasy/punch magic than anything to do with shooty laser stuff. You could include DB stuff if you feel like, but it's definitely not anywhere close to traditional schlock sci-fi.
Found out today there's, like. A weirdly large amount of sci-fi adaptations of the journey to the west. At least like, a half a dozen of them.
Ohhhh, are there any pre-colonial records of Ugandan homosexual practices?The people of that area, like many in Africa (and Scandinavia), passed their histories on orally. From what we know this was very effective at keeping knowledge intact and alive in the face of centuries. It did less well against deliberate and violent procedures to wipe it out.
You might as well look at the Christian Norse writers who recorded syncretic, "corrected" versions of the old stories in order to figure out whether there were Norse Homosexual Practices.
Sorry if this comes off a bit aggressive but like... The answer is "Probably not anymore", and I'm trying to assume you somehow didn't already know that when you asked the question. Like, I don't consider myself a historian, particularly not of African history (I even just now fell in the trap of acting like the entire continent is one culture lmfao) but even I correctly guessed that Uganda did the oral history thing. I even checked
Anyway you know what we do have records of? The bloodthirsty fucksticks who went over there only a decade or two ago and pushed for these laws using colonial influence. I cited some of those records.
The fact that they felt the need to do that suggests to me that the Ugandans weren't sufficiently homophobic previously. Maybe that answers your question.
I'm so bad at coming out lol, but I think I stumbled into a good experience today? I barely slept last night but my mom's friend needed computer help again, so I downed a big soda and went over there. We recovered his passwords (again lol) and got all his contacts synced to a new phone, via cable, it was all very cool. He was extremely happy. I was too. He called me a "booger" and a "genius".
In my altered state I found myself immensely relieved he didn't call me a "young man" this time, and I kinda blurted that out. He didn't seem to get it. So we sat and had a nice conversation about nutrition, and diabetes, and then I explained that while most of my family takes insulin I take estrogen.
that got through lol
And he kinda reacted... perfectly?
He was a bit surprised- fair, because I've always dressed masc around him. But he didn't *say* that. He said he was happy for me, that he certainly didn't have a problem with it...
And then he started talking about how there are so many bigots these days, and (this is the part that surprised and touched me) that they don't make sense.
I kinda expected the liberal "Well I don't get it but you have a right to do whatever crazy thing" brand of tolerance. It's... not the worst. Instead he made a point that bigotry is *wrong*, and that bigots have lost sight of our common humanity.
like, waow *_*
And I got to talk about the friends I've lost to the fascist pipeline... but also how I've found new friends who *escaped* from that sort of thinking. We're faced with fear and hatred, and we offer forgiveness. Our enemies are still people with the ability to grow and change. Like many of us did.
It felt really good to get that out. I think a lot of classic-libs see bigots and queer people as two equal sides in a war- a message the fash constantly push in memes- but a bigot can always stop being a bigot. Forgiveness obviously isn't automatic but at least it's possible. Trying to ingratiate oneself to someone who hates you... goes poorly, in my experience. (and I didn't even get that sweet grift money...)
anyway I'm exhausted but I'm really glad I told him. Wasn't expecting it to go bad, but I wasn't expecting it to go so well either.
