i was just reading an article that covers this exact topic. the most memorable part was when the inventor of the lunchable mentions that his grandkids have never had one because the parents try to keep to organic, whole foods.

The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food

seems like maybe nyt found a way to screw archive, but there's the first couple of paragraphs.

interesting read, thanks for sharing

this is really cool and it's great to be part of a community that embraces our trans comrades, or should i say a community of trans comrades that embraces its cis minority.

am i reading the results correctly that very few cis women responded to the survey/are present on hexbear? "No votes by pronoun" has a dark grey sliver which i assume would be "she/her", implying cis women?

Wildlife is a good album, but I prefer Rooms of the House and Somewhere at the Bottom so much more. I was listening to LD's split with Touche Amore earlier today. I saw them together on that tour with Envy in san francisco and it was a very memorable show.

this is a pretty good start, but add in shredded cheddar and finely chopped broccoli. works with russet or yukon potatoes

misattribution of arousal and so on

nice to see you keeping your spirits up. job hunting was the most soul draining experience i've ever had. i hope one of these works out for you.

i planted pumpkin, corn, and watermelon seeds last saturday. they've been on a heat pad, under a grow light, and the first sprouts have started popping up as of today. it's pretty exciting. got sunny spots in the yard planned out to plop the biodegradable planter pots into with lots of mulch, earthworm castings, kelp meal, etc ready to feed these beasts.

crazy how the traditions america spent 300 years cultivating keep popping up in weird and troubling ways. a black friend's parents bought their house in the 80s and the property had a racially restrictive covenant on the property (not enforced, but the phrasing was there)

i'm happy to see your enthusiasm for jackfruit. i find its nutritional value lacking, especially since in the west it's mostly used as a meat substitute, but has very little protein in it. guess i should give it another try.

trying to immigrate to america and then being sent to greece or italy is like ordering a "cold wet pile of shit" and being given a fresh homemade pizza.

impressive how a 48 year old man can sound 16. guess when your dad was one of the most famous people on the planet, you don't have to put much effort into, well, anything.

"Our bourgeois, not content with having wives and daughters of their proletarians at their disposal, not to speak of common prostitutes, take the greatest pleasure in seducing each other’s wives.

i volunteered one (1) halfday on an organic farm and it was a tremendous, unacceptable amount of work. harvest root vegetables at 7am, wash them in the coldest water you've ever felt at 730am, pack the CSA boxes for pickup, harvest wheat by hand (spoiler: it's pointy like foxtails), manually kill bugs, i don't really remember what else we did. but we ended by picking sun-warmed strawberries around 12pm and they were the best strawberries i've ever eaten.

farming is exhausting and no child should be expected to do it except voluntarily
