I've tried baking several kinds of cookies that are rolled in icing sugar / powdered sugar before baking. Every time, the sugar basically vanishes in the oven. Is this because I'm using a gas stove? Am I cursed? Any other bakers have suggestions?

New and Improved #Introduction just for Beige.Party!

Hey there! I’m Petrichord (she/her). Please don’t call me Petri—it makes me think of the biology class I failed in college. I signed up for Mastodon back in 2018 but only recently started using it this past year, and then my instance (octodon.social) announced its shutdown so I've decided to migrate here to make new friends! Better late than never, right?

By day, I’m a marketer from New Jersey. By night, I’m a do-everything-else-to-stop-the-encroaching-feeling-of-doom-er. My distraction of choice is #Acting. I have a BFA in #MusicalTheatre performance, and I spend my free time working professionally and with community theatre companies. I sing, dance, act, choreograph, direct, and design costumes. I also run a shadowcast of The #RockyHorror Picture Show and have been a performer with the cast for over a decade.

Other things I’ll probably post about include #Burlesque, #Cosplay, #VideoGames (especially #Horror, #Mystery, and #RPGs), #TabletopGaming & #DnD (I used to be a DnD and Tabletop Gaming Streamer for a pretty big company though I don't do that anymore), #BoardGames, and #Books.

Fun facts: I’m an award-winning writer, but executive dysfunction usually wins, so long posts are rare victories. I’m #ActuallyAutistic and have #ADHD, which means I’m very socially awkward, so chaos comes naturally.

I love Porgs, glitter, and indie perfumes. Eat the rich. Let’s be friends. 😘

#WordWeavers 2412 12 — Your MC is going on a picnic. Who and what do they bring?

Went.

The basket, besides plates, cups, and a checked table cloth included a vacuum bottle of honeyed caramelized crunchy oat meal, diced apples, and two orange juice bottles. She wore a strapless yellow sundress and a not-so-floppy straw hat that wouldn't interfere with her sight lines in the wooded municipal park. She also brought her two most experienced bodyguards.

She was meeting with "Sunset Park," the Doña's chief lieutenant for the borough of Sunset Park. They were meeting to figure out why their boss was mucking with the mob's business, making the tensions between gangs worse.

South Park brought two of her bodyguards and a utensil wrapped in a purple satin napkin. Not a napkin, a ripped shirt from a rival gang. She unrolled it to reveal a knife.

It looked like the hunting knife the MC had slashed the Doña's assassin with. She'd tried but kill him, but he was in the hospital now, in the protection of the constabulary.

Please boost so your writer followers know about the challenge.

  • 43 — Cite a story (short, novel, or fanfic) that DOES address gender issues well.
  • 44 —Tell us about a conflict that exists between genders in your story. @ignova@mstdn.caSell it to us. If yours, please share a link.
  • 45 — Fiction often depicts people that seem to ignore gender roles; the reader may not know what they are. Are they asexual and non-romantic? Have you written any? Is there an advantage to story telling, other than YA that ignores all sexuality?
  • 46 — Character POV: Have one of your characters suddenly be "acting out" or "in your face," either obviously violating their gender role or being "out." Does it feel out of character? Or did you learn something?
  • 47 — What do you think of Women-Acting-Badly stories? Do they help the cause or are they gratuitous? Alternately address any gender or sexual preference you choose. How would you approach writing one?
  • 48 — Is it possible to pull off a story where the ensemble is all sorts of genders and have different sexual preferences, and it wouldn't matter at all? Do such things seem Pollyanna? Message heavy? Hopeful?
  • 49 — Out-and-proud stories sometimes seem cartoonish. (As do cis-het cognate stories like a woman who makes everyone uncomfortably aware she is feminine.) Do such depictions feel like pushing the envelope? Or are they incautious recommendations that might push a reader into dangerous behavior?
