"22" is a song by the American singer-songwriter #TaylorSwift from her fourth studio album, #Red (2012). It was released as the album's fourth single on March 12, 2013, by #BigMachineRecords. Written and produced by Swift, #MaxMartin, and #Shellback, "22" combines pop styles such as #dancepop and #bubblegum with #disco and 1990s #rock. The track begins with an acoustic guitar #riff and progresses into an upbeat #refrain which incorporates pulsing #synthesizers.

In a couple of days January will end and that means we're about to be in... #Fedibruary !

This year I'll be testing out a different #fedi project, or taking extra steps to #decentralise, each week.

At this stage my Fedibruary plan is:

Week one:
- Announce my migration intent to #LinkedIn
- Where I have a contact on LinkedIn and #Mastodon I will remove the connection on LinkedIn

Week two:
- Spin up a #Pixelfed instance to play with

Week three:
- Sign up for, or deploy, an #XMPP / #Jabber service (many many years since I had working XMPP!)

Week four:
- Undecided but I'm mainly considering #Peertube or #MediaGoblin (it'll depend on how week two goes)
- If Pixelfed goes really well and I don't feel like a video focused platform would be useful to me I'll dip in to my other considerations below

My 'overflow' / alternative week four is a #fediverse #chat deployment of some sort... I couldn't decide which one to install though!

Week four I also considered the #defederated #riff.cc (but I don't think its easy enough for me to install that yet).

SAZERAC

rinse glass with absinthe
3 dashes Peychauds bitters
¼ oz demerara syrup
2 oz Sazerac rye

Garnish: lemon peel
Method: Use an atomizer to rinse your serving glass with absinthe. Combine the remaining ingredients in a stirring glass with ice and stir. Strain into the glass, express lemon peel, and use as garnish.

Another boozy stir for a cold winter night. This version of the legendary cocktail comes from the book Cure: New Orleans drinks and how to mix 'em, page 29. I finally found an affordable bottle of Sazerac in Germany and thought the titular cocktail was the logical test pilot. For the photo I also tested a new lighting setup. Not 100% happy with it, but you gotta start somewhere.

Early Bird

½ oz lemon juice
1 oz pineapple juice
¼ oz simple syrup
¼ oz coffee liqueur
½ oz coffee-infused Campari
1 oz Jamaican Blended Aged Rum ❸

Garnish: pineapple frond, coffee beans
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Double strain over a big rock and garnish.

A really lovely jungle bird riff when you need a pick-me-up in the afternoon. A little caffeinated, a little boozy! The coffee-infused Campari is really delightful on its own and absolutely stands out in this spec. First seen from IG subtletiki.
