all I want is a queer vegan straight edge girl

Seriously.
Feminism has to be for all women. Even women you think are stupid, naive, or “tragically unfamiliar with the content of Playboy.” Even women who walk into the wrong room. Even women with bad publicists. Even women with no publicists. Even women who expect professional photographers and stylists to honor professional contracts without question. Even women who have lied. Even women who have bashed other women. Even women who you think have capitalized on their “female sexuality.” Even women who “flaunt [their] junk for money and fame.” Even women with cleavage on the cover of books. Even women who sometimes wear bikinis. Even women who don’t perform all of these feats of “female sexuality” naturally, even women from whom it’s all “an act.” Even women you think are bitches. Even women who talk about it.

Vegan Donuts
(Adapted from a recipe found at Vegan Verve)
2 cups soymilk
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup maple syrup
½ cup sugar
2 ½ teaspoons yeast (1 package)
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup applesauce
1 teaspoon salt
4 ¾ cups Flour, (1 C whole wheat)Combine soy milk, vegetable oil, maple syrup, and sugar in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and let it cool until it is about 110 F. If you don’t have a thermometer, just wash your hands and dip your finger in the liquid. It should be about as warm as your finger. Please, wait at least 30 minutes before doing this. I don’t want any second degree burns here! This cooling process can take an hour or more.
Once the soy milk mixture has reached the right temperature, stir in the yeast and let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, add 4 cups of flour (I used 3 cups of white unbleached and 1 cup of whole wheat). Next, add the soy milk/yeast mix to the flour. Mix well and let the dough rise until its about double in size (about an hour).
After the dough has risen, add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, applesauce, and vanilla. Mix well and then let the dough sit for about 10 minutes.
This dough is very sticky, but this will give you the results you want so work with it! I floured my working surface (and my hands) and began creating dough balls – about 2″ seemed to work best. You can make some of them smaller if you’d like to have donut holes. Place these on greased cookie sheets and be sure to allow room for expansion as these little fellas will grow to at least twice their size. Place a light-weight kitchen towel over your cookie sheets and place in your refrigerator overnight.
When you get up the next morning, turn your oven on to its lowest setting. Next, remove the cookie sheets from the fridge, wash your hands and use your finger to poke a hole in the middle of each of the mounds to give them a donut-like center. Next, put the cookie sheets in the oven and then turn the heat off and shut the door.
Give the donuts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to finish their growth spurt and then turn the oven up to about 350 and bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
While the donuts are baking, mix your glazes. Once the donuts are out of the oven, let them cool enough so you can handle them, and then dip them directly into the glaze. Icing the donuts while they’re still warms helps the glaze settle into its new home. You can add sprinkles or nuts, whatever your favorite donut topping is today. Most importantly? Enjoy!
