FYI, if you buy Chiquita bananas right now, you’re crossing a picket line. The unionized workers at a plant in panama went on strike, and they fired them.

EDIT:
H/t to @semifor — the strike has ended, but it seems the fallout continues with violence and protests.

Apropos @peertube the french developer collective @Framasoft are currently trying to raise the (for #bigTech derisory) amount of EUR 75,000 to develop the opensource #fediverse competitor app to Youtube. Maybe chuck 'em a few euros if you think it useful?

My former housemate in #Amsterdam got the extension of her #visa refused. She needs a renewal every year and has to prove her contribution to the Dutch art community. Her contribution and renown has grown in the past year, and she still didn't get a new visa.
It's the different interpretation of the same rules under the new, right wing government. Something most Dutch people seemed sure wouldn't happen.

> In other words, Spotify has gone to war against musicians and record labels.

Kurdish civilians are leaving Tell Rifaat and Sheikh Maqsood neighbourhood in Aleppo for Manbij and Raqqah. It is unclear if SDF/YPG fighters remained or if they are part of this convoy.

🌧️🚨 De afgelopen dagen werd Spanje getroffen door de zwaarste overstromingen van deze eeuw, veroorzaakt door een complex weersverschijnsel: Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos (DANA). Dit lagedrukgebied, gevuld met koude lucht op grote hoogte, kwam los van de straalstroom en bleef hangen boven Spanje. Het warme zeewater van de Middellandse Zee versterkte de stijgende luchtstromen, waardoor extreme regenval ontstond. 🔗 https://www.knmi.nl/over-het-knmi/nieuws/waarom-viel-er-de-afgelopen-dagen-zoveel-regen-in-spanje

@dantescanline You could try to look for dehulled soy beans. I found a supplier in Austria who offers those (https://www.biohofmuellner.at/shop/bohnen-nudel-reis-hanf-polenta-popcorn/geschaelte-bio-sojabohnen-perfekt-fuer-tempeh-100/) They are perfect for soy milk/yogurt and tempeh.

@earthtoneone This was my first attempt yes. I 'waxed' them with coconut oil/fat, which might not be the best choice, but should work according to: https://www.youtube.com/@GourmetVegetarianKitchen In this case it could be that I let the wax get too warm. Luckily, winter is coming where I'm located and storing in a cool place will be easier 😄

The results of only 4-5 days of aging in a not-so-cool place. Should have kept them in the fridge. Smells like blue cheese, has a very chemical taste though. #fermentation #vegan #soy #cheese

Tiny soy cheeses in the making 🤏 So far the result of draining soy yoghurt, forming cream cheese balls, drying them, and now kneeding them together in bigger cheese shapes. Let's see where this goes 🙃 #fermentation #vegan #soy #cheese
