Hi, I'm turtlebird!
I'm interested in talking about cooperatives, decolonisation, eco-communism, labour organising, fibre arts, tabletop RPG design & theory, and those cool birds I saw in the park the other day!
I once shared the same name as a tropical storm, but then it got downgraded to a tropical depression.
Which seemed somehow appropriate to me.
my hot take on content warnings
big fan. innocuous feature. literally harmless. adds more content than it takes away. convenient. great meme format. useful content warning system as well as just general tagging system. costs hardly any time to use. literally just a great feature alone regardless of its efficacy at actually being a content warning anyways.
World Cup
That was perhaps the most Canadian sports performance I have ever seen outside of a curling rink
One of the best times I ever had with friends was our anarchist football (soccer) league. The way it worked was whenever someone got tired, they took a break, and whomever was taking a break previously replaced them. By the end of the game the team composition was always completely different from when it started.
unvaccinated people put kids, the elderly, the sick and immunocompromised, the disabled and health care workers at unneeded risk. We've got enough real public health problems without inventing new ones.
Recipes and cooking techniques
You all know about Chinese Cooking Demystified, right? Check this video out: https://youtu.be/AujuLHK3hvs
Western cook books have a tendency to not only subsume all ingredient combinations under the rubric of French cooking, but also translate all regional cooking techniques into French ones. But there is no French equivalent to a proper stir fry technique, or a masala, or a Thai fried curry paste.
Videos like this demonstrate how important regional techniques are.
