why is no one giving me chai

op imma do you one better

How to make proper chai (many variations of it but here’s mine):

1. Gather your spices. For me, I find a mix of ginger (1/8 teaspoon), cardamom (3 pods), cinnamon (1/2 tablespoon or however much feels right), nutmeg (1/4 teaspoon), whole cloves (2), and dried rose buds (3 of em, get em at a Chinese supermarket near you). Grind ‘em up. I do not have a mortar and pestle so I settle for using the back of an ice cream scooper but you can take creative liberties. It doesn’t have to be a perfectly fine powder. Just crush it a little.

2. Cut open 2 black tea bags and add them to your spice mix. 

2. Get like 1 1/2 cups of water. Boil it and add your tea mix while that's happening. 

3. Wait. 

4. It’s boiling, finally! Now wait again while setting the heat to low. Let it simmer. Listen to Pot & Kettle by the Sonder Bombs (5 minutes). 

5. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of brown sugar. Listen to Some by Steve Lacy (2 min). 

6. IT’S THE MOMENT YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR: MILK! Oat milk ain’t as fatty but like it’s aight as long as you get the thick brand. Whole milk would be the best option but we don’t all have iron stomachs. Coconut milk is also fine. Powder milk too. HOW MUCH DO YOU ADD? 3/4 cup. DO ONE STIR, AND ONE STIR ONLY. 

7. Put it on that medium-high heat and wait till it gets to boiling. Then simmer again. Listen to 20180512 by Mac DeMarco (4 min) then 20180529 (3 min) and you’re like done, dude (gender-neutral). It should be like orangey. Maybe with a film you can stir if you’re lucky. Strain and ta-da!!!!

If you’ve reached the end and wondered why I put so much effort into this it’s bc 1. love tea 2. I like lists, apparently, and 3. HOMEMADE CHAI IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN WHATEVER CHAI CONCENTRATE IS SOLD ON THE INTERNET

omg thank you so much this sounds so interesting!! I will definitely try it :))

and so true homemade chai >>>>>

why must we play god

Artistic representation of how the lemon was invented in the first place

"citrus are whores" is not something i expected to see on the hellsite today

I’m not wrong though they are EASILY the sluttiest fruits. You don’t see Rosales pulling this shit. I mean yeah apples will breed weird new apples but nothing fucks around like citrus.

#so we’re slutshaming the fruits now? 

Tags that look homophobic without context

I MEAN technically squashes are fruits and they are also EXTREMELY SLUTTY.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Every writer on Tumblr: “I would combust out of love if someone ever drew fanart of my fic!!” Me: “oh man I wanna draw this scene BUT THEY WOULD PROBABLY HATE IT AND HATE ME FOR THE NERVE”

Dear artists.

We, the writers, will accept any of your fan arts.

We don’t care if it looks like shit to you, or you think your art skills are not good enough.

We will love any fan art, because it’s the most beautiful way to say “I love what you write”.

This times a million. 

This also applies to aesthetics, moodboards, spin-off fanfic drabbles, and the like. Doesn’t matter how insignificant or amateurish you think it is – all of it is beautiful. <3

So, Boris Johnson wrote an essay in which he talked about the Sistine Chapel and then said : “There is nothing like it in Muslim art of that or any age, not just because it is beyond the technical accomplishment of Islamic art, but because it is so theologically offensive to Islam.”

BITCH

NOT TO MENTION the fact that the prohibition against direct images in Islam was actually the reason for the development of the incredible advances in higher mathematics of the Islamic Golden Age because they were required to create these structures. The Islamic World basically took the ban on images as a “hold my beer” thing and created an entire artistic culture based on mathematics and architecture where art and science fed into and glorified each other, 700 years before the Italian Renaissance.

In conclusion

i will say that islamic art drove me nuts as a kid because i did not have the math knowledge or capability to create such geometric patterns. it may have been the art of my people but by gOD it was difficult and unnecessarily difficult. however my pride in islamic art is neverending. it was frowned upon to be vain in the house, so artists would deck out the places of worship - but places of worship couldn’t be too garishly decorated, or it might detract from worship! the compromise? calm blues and greens, intricate details hidden into the complex patterns. carefully mapped out and planned patterns that were beyond complex and straight into deliberately confusing and practically impossible to replicate. not only that, but verses from the Quran were hidden along the walls, asking god for blessings and care.

muslim art is stunning and i’ll fight the bitch that says otherwise.

Also something underappreciated about the Islamic art is that not only is it geometrically incredible, but the geometry and structure of it has a purpose. In the niches and ceilings, the cascading ornamentation is used for acoustic purposes. In many of the mosques, they are so well laid out and designed that a single person standing on a specific spot can speak/sing/pray and be heard in every single part of the building.

excuse me

OH. can’t believe I forgot about such an important part of art history my apologies
