#virtually nothing

[bookinit02]

i really do think there’s a huge disconnect on here w/ people who have never used tiktok as to what it actually is and who actually uses it. the number of people i’ve seen call it a “teen dancing app” is actually insane. it has not been a teen dancing app since i was in high school, around 2016 - 2020. the main communities i saw on a daily basis were 1) black history/anti-racism educators, 2) high school & college teachers sharing in-classroom strategies and frustrations with the education system, 3) local/state political leaders giving real-time updates on behind-the-scenes government decisions, & 4) community activism & leadership. like tiktok is an adult platform. almost every person i interacted with was my age or older. and yes it completely depends on your fyp and how you interact with the app, yes there’s still teenagers and dance videos and literally anything else you can think of. but these communities of adults aren’t insubstantial at all, they have literally millions of interactions on a daily basis. there’s about a million other types of communities that i could name just off the top of my head, because the range of users was SO diverse and thriving. it’s a long-distance community tool, just like any other social media—and honestly much better than any other social media, because it relies primarily on the kindness of strangers. i saw at least 5-10 videos today of queer people in rural areas panicking because they don’t have any access to queer community on any other platform or in real life. and before i end this i do want to say i think tiktok is coming back, i think this is a highly orchestrated political move, etc., but i do know it won’t ever be exactly the same. people are panicking about free speech violations because tiktok was a place where people fucking SPEAK. i have never seen mass mobilization and communication in this same way for as long as i’ve been alive. it is the people’s app, not just a silly teenage thing. if you’re not on tiktok and never have been, please stop talking about it like you know anything at all😭

i have. a slightly odd question, if you have time and inclination to answer

i am currently going through all the cooking books on librivox, among them tom bullock's 'the ideal bartender'. and while i may take issue with his idea of how to serve absinthe, most of the cocktails sound like reasonable drinks to my ignorant ears.

but then, there is one called 'bombay cocktail'. its receipe, it its entirety, reads as follows:

use a claret glass.

1/2 pony olive oil.

1/2 pony vinegar.

1/2 pony worcestershire sauce.

break one ice cold egg into glass.

add salt and spanish paprica and serve.

which strikes me as a fairly odd thing to drink. would you happen to have any insight as to the drinkability, purpose, history, or naming of this concoction?

(as you can probably guess, googling 'bombay cocktail' has not been helpful, and any ideas i can think of that remove bombay sapphire from the search results leave me with the ideal bartender in various formats and restaurants serving shrimp cocktails)

This is like self-diagnosing except instead of diagnosing yourself you’re diagnosing others when it’s not your business or place to do so. Who the fuck do you think you are genuinely

People need to stop other-diagnosing like stfu

if tumblr is deleted with no warning, find me on luciafur.itch.io. I might add contact info there or something if/when the time comes.

otherwise, without tumblr I'm going social media free. I am not making any new social media accounts, when the other sites just piss me off in ways tumblr doesn't.

I might make a newsletter or something simple like that so I can continue sharing with people what I'm up to, but again If I do something like that, you'll have to find out through my itch page once tumblr is gone. maybe I'll even just post updates to my itch page itself and that's it. I like how minimal and non-social itch feels lol.
