This. I have a collection of British women’s magazines from the late Victorian and early Edwardian era, and there’s articles in the fashion and medical columns specifically about “the evils of tight lacing”, the way our magazines talk about not using tanning beds or wearing too tight shoes with heels too high. (Also…

Would you be terribly surprised if I told you they’re a young male? 

He’s been here for years commenting like this. 

Interestingly, Jordan Fisher who’s obviously black was the first non white actor to take over the role, I think one of the last before COVID closed Broadway.

This. I buy a (good quality, whole egg) mayonnaise and stir in freshly microplaned garlic and maybe a little extra lemon juice far more often than I make aioli by hand. Nobody’s ever complained. Life’s short, time is a finite resource, y’know? 

I also love Podcast: the Ride, I’m pretty sure most of the hosts are still childless dudes, they just really love theme parks.

Lol back in the days of LJ communities (yeah, remember LiveJournal?) we called it flouncing. Flounce, flouncity flounce! 

I can’t remember where but I read recently someone’s opinion that the problem with getting people to eat well and healthily is that in our society food can be (1) Healthy (2) Tasty and satisfying (3) Cheap (4) Easy to source (5) Fast and easy to prepare. But it can only usually be 3 out of the 5.

Another console player here (and an Aussie, I used the hack where you create a US PSN account and buy stuff with gift cards for the US store). The having to re click X to interact most of the time is exasperating but I’ve been dismayed at the text size issue. The slider only impacts dialogue text. Everything else…

Yeah. I have to eat low carb for medical reasons, but I couldn’t do without vegetables. Apart from anything else I need cheap leafy greens like cabbage and Asian greens as a substitute for the cheap carbs I used to bulk my diet out with, as my food budget is pretty tight.

Korean barbecue featuring marinaded beef, spicy chicken and plain pork belly, with all the bossam necessities - lettuce leaves for wrapping, radish kimchi, oysters, all the sweet spicy salty pastes for condiments, raw garlic slices, chilli pepper slices. Vegetable banchan, plus steamed rice for the people who won’t…

I’m not American but I love books about other countries’ foods, especially America, and I have two of Lewis’. They’re among my favourites. 

He’s not a troll but he has a MASSIVE blind spot when it comes to recognising that non-black POC can be subject to abuse, persecution and discrimination, just in different ways to Black people. As his comment here clearly demonstrated. :/

If they had to make a weirdo big budget Hollywood movie adaptation of the musical “Evita”, I wish they’d waited and done it now with her.

I’ve been pretty dismayed at how many people are focusing on trying to parse out whether his issue was with Asians, women or sex workers, as if it couldn’t be (as it clearly was) all three. Captain Baker, the women were targeted for being Asian AND female AND sex workers, FFS. /an Asian female sex worker 

As a female Asian sex worker (though not an American) I’ve spent a bit of time over the last several hours reminding some people that hating Asians vs hating women vs hating sex workers isn’t mutually exclusive. In this case it was clearly a scenario in which he hated all three, you don’t have to pick one to focus on…

I love canned oysters! They were actually my gateway to raw oysters, which I didn’t try until well into adulthood and only managed to brave that first half dozen because I sternly told myself I loved the smoked canned ones so how bad could this be?

My favourite food museum I’ve been to is the Kimchi museum in Seoul.
