OOC;

Vegan powers are real

My powers are being really tired, and getting dizzy with blurry vision when I stand up too fast

[mapswithoutwyoming]

the most realisting thing about every iteration of scott pilgrim is that even in a world where you get incredible magical powers just by following a vegan diet most people still wouldn’t do it

لبن نباتي / Lbn nabati (Vegan traditional buttermilk)

Lbn (لْبْنْ or لْبَنْ; also transliterated "lban") is a Moroccan buttermilk drink. It is not to be confused with standard Arabic لَبَن‎ ("laban"), meaning "milk"; with Levantine لَبَن‎ ("laban"), also called لَبَن رَائِب ("laban ra'ib"), which is curdled milk (a.k.a., yoghurt); or with Levantine لَبْنَة‎ ("labna"), which is yoghurt that has been strained and thickened.

Instead, lbn is a traditional buttermilk. It is historically made the same way Western traditional buttermilk is: by leaving raw milk to sit at room temperature while the cream separates and rises to the top, allowing the cream to ferment, and then churning the cream until it separates further into milk solids (cultured butter) and a cultured liquid byproduct (traditional buttermilk). Commercial Western buttermilk, and some Moroccan lbn, is now no longer traditional buttermilk but instead cultured buttermilk, which is produced by fermenting low-fat milk; this produces a thicker, more acidic liquid than traditional buttermilk. Lbn is usually made with goat's milk, though cow's milk is also often used.

Lbn—very sour and tangy, slightly sweet, and about the consistency of milk—is consumed as a refreshing after-dinner drink during the summer. It is also used to soak كُسْكُس ("couscous") (made from durum, barley, or corn flour). Couscous with lbn is called سَيْكُوك ("saykouk") in Darija (Moroccan Arabic), or أزَيْكُوك ("azaykouk") in Tamazight.

Saykouk is a cold dish, commonly eaten in the desert and in rural areas during the summertime; but it is also sold from food carts and by vendors on bicycles year-round in cities. On Fridays, Moroccans often eat couscous dishes with lbn on the side, and may make some on-the-fly saykouk by pouring lbn into their bowls to soak the couscous that remains after the vegetables or meat in the dish have been eaten.

This recipe resembles cultured buttermilk, in that it ferments non-dairy milk with live cultures to achieve a sour taste. However, it more resembles traditional dairy buttermilk in taste and texture. Note that this lbn is intended for drinking and for recipes that call for Moroccan traditional buttermilk, and not for replacing Western cultured buttermilk in pastries or pancakes.

Ingredients:

2 cups full-fat oat milk

1-3 vegetarian probiotic capsules (containing at least 10 billion cultures total)

A few pinches salt

A few pinches granulated sugar

Make sure your probiotic capsules contain no prebiotics, as they can interfere with the culture. The probiotic may be multi-strain, but should contain some of: Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidus, Lactobacillus acidophilus. The number of capsules you need will depend on how many cultures each capsule is guaranteed to contain.

Instead of probiotic capsules, you can use a specialty starter culture pack intended for use in culturing vegan dairy, many of which are available online. Note that starter cultures may be packaged with small amounts of powdered milk for the bacteria to feed on, and may not be truly vegan.

Other types of non-dairy milk may work. My trial with soy milk did not succeed (it never became notably tangy). Soaked and blended cashews will thicken substantially, so be sure to blend cashews with at least twice their volume in (just-boiled, filtered) water if you want to use cashews as your base. I found that oat milk, as well as being more convenient and cheaper than cashews, more closely mimicked the taste of lbn. I have not tested anything else.

Instructions:

1. Boil several cups of water and use the just-boiled water to rinse your measuring cup, the container you will ferment your lbn in, and a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir. Your bowl and stirring implement should be in a non-reactive material such as wood, clay, glass, or silicone.

2. Measure oat milk into a container and open probiotic capsules into it. Stir the powder from the capsules in until well combined.

3. Cover the opening of the container with a cheesecloth or tea towel. Ferment for 24 hours: on the countertop in temperate weather, or in an oven with the light on in cold weather.

Taste the lbn with a clean implement (avoid double-dipping!) to see if it is ready. If it still tastes 'oaty,' continue fermenting for another 1-3 days, tasting every 12 hours, until it is notably tangy.

4. Blend lbn with large pinches of salt and sugar; or put lbn, salt, and sugar in a jar with a lid and shake to combine. Taste and adjust salt and sugar.

5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. This lbn will continue to culture slowly in the fridge and will eventually (like dairy lbn) become too sour to drink.

Serve chilled.

tumblr’s understanding of boycotts is so ridiculous lol. wagging your finger at people on social media to not buy a product is not a boycott. If it’s not organised and centralised its not any more effective than random people yelling at service workers about how they just lost their patronage and will not be returning here again

Damn I can’t believe Todd folded that hard for Wallace Wells.

i wonder how the really militant vegans who are like we need to kill every single obligate carnivore in the world so that the normal and peaceful herbivores never get hurt <3 feel about the fact that plants are very scientifically proven to move, react to damage done to them, recognize plants of the same species nearby that aren't related to them and try to outcompete them, make sounds to communicate needs (but not at frequencies humans can hear), etc etc... like if you think a clam has an inherent sanctity of life and shouldn't be getting dropped by birds onto concrete to break their shells and eat the meat inside of them then you should be equally opposed to the way that plants, which can do many of the same things animals can just in different ways, are getting predated cruelly and heartlessly by those same herbivores

why is it called "she-ra and the princesses of power" when half of the princesses are useless? literally the only princesses who mattered in the story was glimmer, scorpia and entrapta. and two of them were in the horde.

i really like these tags on my worm comic. the comic was partially inspired by a conversation i had where someone was insisting that since most earthworms are invasive in north america, they should be killed on sight. this ignores a lot of nuances about how the environment adapts to change and what it even means to be an invasive species.

that topic is a whole can of worms (hah) that i'm not really well enough informed on to feel comfortable discussing in depth. but here's what i do know:

life is precious, and the power to end it is a huge responsibility. as i get older i find myself unwilling to do it at all, even for the smallest and seemingly most insignificant living things. obviously there are things i have to kill to keep myself safe, namely bacteria, or things i'll kill on accident just because i'm so big i don't notice them. and of course things have to die sometimes to feed me, whether i'm vegan or not. at some point i just stopped feeling comfortable killing intentionally, though. i don't kill the lantern flies either.

i'm a creature of this earth just like them, and i'm not arrogant enough to believe i know what's best for the course of nature. she always finds her balance, and i put my trust in that. it gives me hope against a tide of climate change, pollution, plastic litter, and extinctions. there are bugs that are eating styrofoam now so maybe it'll all be okay, and maybe i don't have to feel the need to save the earth. i'm not a hero, i'm just an animal. a social animal that feels empathy when it sees a tiny, helpless, displaced thing wriggling on the sidewalk.

as long as we don't nuke everything (and maybe even if we do) life will go on, like it always has. time marches, things change, and sometimes it's bad for a while. but nature always finds her balance. and i put my trust in that.
