I need to keep getting weirder with my cider making. Forget a simple, sweet flavor profile. I want to make ciders that will make your toes curl and your tongue twist. I want to make ciders that will cause you to drop on all fours and bark like a dog upon consumption!

Girl?

I am having a very normal time! The yeast has not infected my brain, and if it has, it would only ferment me into something stronger.

tumblr users: i hate tiktok it's the worst

yes but the experience of occassionally seeing a curated-by-my-homies tiktok vid on my dash is so violently different from the endless stream of scrolling through algorithmic video content. i crave variety. what is my social media experience without walls of text interrupted randomly by videos of ducks and pictures of weird vegan brownies.

There's an etiquette to typo roasting. Like if they type "on" instead of "in" you overlook that. That's some autocorrect bs. But if they type "pebis" or some shit that's when you gotta get his ass

eating a meal really does make a total sense of peace wash over you. things become more bearable. clear. like you’ve been sitting in the dark for hours and someone came in and turned on the light. not harsh overhead lighting but a lamp. soft and gentle warm glow. Has anyone else ever tried this

It feels taboo as a childfree person to admit this but I actually do have concerns about who is going to take care of me when I'm old. The elder care system in our nation relies A LOT on the unpaid care labor of adult children. I just don't think that's a good reason to have kids.

"But you'll have more money!" does not completely put this to rest for me. Neither does "Buy care insurance!" Even if I can afford direct personal care, who is going to advocate for me to get it? Who is going to navigate bureaucracy for me when I'm 80?

"If you do have kids, there's no GUARANTEE that they'll take care of you when your old!" That's true, but doesn't solve my problem.

I think childfree people get very defensive about this question because its used as a kind of "gotcha!" against us, but I actually do not feel we can afford to be in denial about this reality. Based on current trends of more people in their 30s stating they intend to be permanently childfree, we are going to see a huge wave of childfree adults hitting the eldercare system at once in a few decades. Childfree people in their 30s should be advocating around eldercare NOW.
