@Gaywallet I browsed through this cookbook once (don't remember whether we still have it) but I couldn't tell what was camp and what was just the way food was in the US before Julia Child and a bunch of other things happened. Don't really remember specifics but I'm thinking of jello salads and stuff like that.

@Gaywallet As usual, Cory Doctorow writes beautifully and insightfully (go read the article, it isn't just a litany of what is bad, it is about how it is bad and why it is bad). Hard to pick just one pull quote but I'll go with "the potential anti-enshittification coalition is massive".

@Gaywallet This particular link wasn't opening for me. But what I have heard elsewhere is that there are indeed known to be a number of parts of the X chromosome which affect the immune system, in ways we are still in the process of figuring out.

@Gaywallet It is an interesting question and the success of Dan Savage suggests that the "straight" part of this question might not be irrelevant.
