I meant to be finishing a post about books I'm reading but I got distracted and wrote ~2500 words about Mastodon and Bluesky and the related things (welcoming design, insular culture) I've been stewing on for a few months

And also about vegetarian meat substitutes in the 1980s, which were *really something*

@kissane (CAROB CHIPS oh my goodness my mom tried to sell me on that too and I was having none of it. But I know exactly the nutritional mummy type of store you mean.)

@thatandromeda @kissane I went to a summer camp run by mennonites who made us very healthy food. One day we made vanilla ice cream and they had big bowls of what I THOUGHT was chocolate chips as a topping but was actually carob and it’s been 40 years and I’m still mad.

@sglassmeyer @kissane a reasonable and proportionate response to that kind of betrayal
