Just started a batch of a Oaxacan Mole Chocolate Bitters. 4 types of dried chile, Oaxacan cacao, seeds, nuts, coffee beans, and spices sitting in overproof rum. Waiting a few weeks before adding orange rind and sugar. Maybe some mezcal. #festiveinfusions

Bottom of jar with spices in amber fluid.

The only photo I got at Ventura Pride this past weekend.

A lone palm tree before a sky dappled in a rhythmic lattice of cloud work covering a majority of the image.

Some aren’t even the original members, I hear.

A Reddit post from r/synthesizercirclejerk:

Photo of four aging politicians at modern podiums which resemble sleek, futuristic, electronic music machines. Caption reads: “Worst Kraftwerk gig ever”.

Liminal vibes in Ventura, CA.

Fluorescent lighting bathes a lone arcade cabinet awkwardly placed against an employee locker near an emergency exit. The Royal Blue paint appears freshly applied atop layers of paints passed. An industrial cable sleeve crawls down on the wall left of the cabinet, leading to a light switch in the “off” position. The floor tiles sit in a cross-hatched pattern, with colors that would look better in the black light they were clearly intended for. The game, is Ms Pac-Man, and you are Player One.
