Okay so a slightly awkward(?) general clarification given I've seen this come up twice in as many days and a couple other times since I mentioned it last month?
"Glowtide" is not the name of a specific party or set of parties at a particular location; it is the name of a holiday season. That is like one of the only things about it that I'm going to be a bit uptight about, because I don't WANT it to start feeling like it's a concept I own manifested by events I'm involved in. :)

@indi Sympathies. Bandaza _is_ the name of the party, but arguably nobody would use the seasonal name because it's just "late harvest season," so the comparison probably doesn't help. =>.>=

@Fuego Ah, hell, sis. *offers hugs*
@nolan If it works for you, go for it. :)
@nolan Oh, wait, is this on WP's site directly? I have a self-install so I've probably got a way different interface. No wonder I'm confused. :) (I searched the admin console I'm on for "admin" and found nothing, and my theme doesn't even have a sidebar, so if it's not that, there's no way I'm ever going to find it to see it.)
@nolan ... there's a new interface?
@mawr Oh, they aren't doing anything directly yet. Mostly they've just pulled the usual "find an unflattering photo and cherry-pick some quotes to deliberately misinterpret" over in their forum. Whatever. I was never going to make the whole universe like me and I always figured if I started living authentically they or someone like them would show up one day.

@noiob The best revenge against places like KiwiFarms is to continue to live happier lives than they can.

Experiment with the TVP was a moderate success!
I say "moderate" mostly because it's tasty but I expected it to be... fluffier? Crunchier? It's flavorful enough and doesn't detract from the soup but I thought the texture would have held up better. Then again, I did throw it into a crock pot after I fried it. Regardless, it added a smoky garlicky note to the pea soup without really getting any other soy after effects.
I'ma do this again.

Kugelhopfen came out fine. I have a new base recipe I need to write down so I can stop referencing Luis' from GBBO. =>.>=

@lizardsquid @anthracite She did. Also, the picture is of one of @zebratron2084's old characters. The reference essays listed are mine and @makyo's.

@Phorm It is quite true that no justice will come to a great many people in this world. This does not mean we are all fucked. There is still good we are capable of doing for ourselves and for each other. We can no longer assume the systems we once believed would come to our rescue against tyranny will automatically save us. This does not mean we are helpless or powerless. We must be our own safety and security. We must take care of each other. We must, and we can.
