Kneecap, Irishness and Palestine: a cultural analysis

I’ve had a gutful of hearing about the disgusting and disgraceful genocide happening real-time to Palestinian people. I refuse to be silent about it anymore to placate the feelings of those who may get offended by the words ‘Free Palestine’ or ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’. If any of that makes you uncomfortable please get out of my life. Little children are being killed while lining up to get food. They are lining up to get food because they are being deliberately starved to death by Israel. The band Kneecap is awesome for their advocacy of the Palestinian people and this connection between the historical colonisation of Ireland by the English and Palestine is an apt one.

Where did unique beauty go? Or why do women all strive to look the same nowadays

I have noticed this and to be honest I find that look really boring. The pale neutral liptick, inner tube fake lips, fake massive eye lashes, the slicked back hair and beige clothes. I can’t in all honesty turn myself into a clone of these women because it just wouldn’t suit me and I would cease being me. What’s your thoughts on this generic look she’s talking about?

Baked Japanese Sweet Potatoes with Miso Tahini Butter

Via Rainbow Plant Life

Ingredients

• ▢2 pounds Japanese sweet potatoes

Miso Tahini Butter

• ▢5 tablespoons vegan butter, softened at room temperature
• ▢1 tablespoon white miso, plus more to taste
• ▢2 tablespoons good-quality tahini
• ▢1/2 of a medium lime, zested
• ▢1 ½ tablespoons lime juice, plus more to taste
• ▢1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, plus more to taste
• ▢1/2 to 1 teaspoon agave nectar
• ▢A few pinches of red pepper flakes

For serving

• ▢1 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds*
• ▢Flaky sea salt
• ▢1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• ▢Lime zest
• ▢Optional: vegan furikake or gomasio

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.
• Lightly slash or prick the sweet potatoes several times with a sharp knife to allow for even ventilation. Place the potatoes on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, or directly on the oven rack. Bake for 75 minutes for medium-sized potatoes (60 minutes for small Japanese sweet potatoes; 85-90 minutes for large ones). Turn off the oven and keep the potatoes in the oven, with the door closed for 45 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the Miso Tahini Butter. Add the softened vegan butter to a medium bowl, along with the tahini, miso paste, lime zest, lime juice, toasted sesame oil, agave, and red pepper flakes. Use a fork or whisk and mash until the mixture is very smooth. Taste for seasonings, and add the additional miso for more umami, lime juice for acidity, or sesame oil for toasted nutty flavor, as needed. If the butter is more on the melty side rather than creamed, pop it in the fridge for 20ish minutes until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
• Once the sweet potatoes are done, slice them open and spread the miso butter tahini on top. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and a pinch or two of flaky sea salt. Top with fresh cilantro leaves. Zest a bit of lime on top before serving. If desired, sprinkle some vegan furikake or gomasio on top before serving.
