Losing it over this dior ad

the way they could've picked any other song and it would've been better than good luck babe oh my days

❌straight couple, sorry you cannot tell me that 1. that's a lesbian couple or that 2. keira knightly is comphet in this ad or something??? ❌ its an old man. sorry i'm generally accepting of old men but not in my ad with good luck babe as the sound track ❌"what would you do for love" did we listen to the same song. i mean the song is related to love but. was this the best song for this tagline? ❌ keira knightly going anywhere near queer media after the JK R0wl1ng thing.... ❌ flowers that are lowk lesbian flag coloured... i'm trying to figure out if this is a weird way of queerbaiting by dior (and hence the choice of song and flowers) or if they just slapped on a popular song????

[giraffejingliu]

maybe ptj got mad that we were making lookism yaoi so he just made all of them related 😞

The pope wants you to finish that fanfic btw

[rederiswrites]

There really really ought to be a book about how the staple crops of different civilizations shape and influence those civilizations, and I really want to read it.

[alexseanchai]

Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky and A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage (three are alcohol, three have caffeine) are not quite that, but may still be of interest?

[rederiswrites]

I read Salt back in the day and it's so so good, second the rec. I have heard of 6 Glasses and not read it but I am sure I would probably love it. Gotta see if the library has it. Thank you!

Gonna throw Empire of Cotton by Sven Beckert in the ring here! You'll never see the modern world the same way again.

[vaspider]

A Short History Of The World According To Sheep by Sally Coulthard blew my mind. So many things are tied to wool and sheep and weaving and so many words and phrases are tied to wool, people have no idea.

Example words which come from textiles/weaving, if not specifically wool (go look them up!): subtle, shoddy, tabby, Brazil, rocket, twit, warped, going batty, on tenterhooks, text...

[foxofninetales]

I'll throw in a rec for Pickled, Potted, and Canned by Sue Shephard - a very interesting look at food preservation and how the availability of different types of food preservation shaped cultures and cuisines.

[electronsprotonscroutons]

Sweetness and Power is this but for the topic of sugar

[magneticdeclination]

The Lost Supper: Searching for the Future of Food in the Flavors of the Past might also be up your alley. It's about "forgotten" foods and staples. They talk about different types of wheat, sauces, veggies, etc and a little about the cultures from whence they come

[doctornerdington]

Also: Much Depends on Dinner by Margaret Visser. One of my favourite books.

[bitchwhoyoukiddin]

DO I HAVE A SERIES FOR YOU. University of California Press has a gift for you and it is a 80+ book series on food studies. There are even some that are open access (legally free), but the rest are in libraries.

I also highly recommend Frostbite by Nicola Twilley. It’s about the impact refrigeration has had/is having on food preservation and culture, globally. It was one of my favorite books of this last year.

[calystarose]

Also, The Rice Theory of Culture https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1172&context=orpc By Thomas Talhelm

[ariaste]

Can't believe no one's mentioned Consider the Fork yet, which is about how environment/resources shape our ways of eating, which shapes both our culture and our concepts of politeness. So interesting, really recommend!

Seven Flowers and How They Shaped Our World by Jennifer Potter

It isn't so much about edible plants as it is about decorative ones, but I think it fits the theme of this growing list enough for me to add it.

"queer-owned business" means nothing anymore. OpenAI and Palantir are both queer-owned businesses.

if this is how you find out that both sam altman and peter thiel are gay im sorry

I don’t like how I’m kinda expected to rewrite the first 20 years of my life just because I’m trans. I was the eldest daughter in a black household. I can’t go back and edit my history to say I was the eldest son, cuz that doesn’t accurately convey the certain standards I was held to. I was the only girl in my engineering class. I can’t leave out the “girl” part. It recontextualizes the entire situation. I don’t think either of those facts invalidates my current gender and I don’t think trans people should be expected to rewrite their own history in fear of that

[dumbpuppyfag]

UNGRATEFUL tech companies are saying things like "turn off your ad blocker" and "we need your photo id" instead of "thank you so much for not just pirating our shit, youre so handsome"

In case you wanted to visualize Elon Musk’s insane wealth:

I’m 23 years old as of March 8 2026, the date of writing this post.

Specifically I’m 8517 days old, or 735,868,800 seconds old.

Elon Musk’s net worth as of today is 834.9 billion USD, meaning that if I’d earned $1 for every second since my birth in 2002, I’d only have 0.089% of Elon Musk’s net worth.

To have Elon’s net worth, I would’ve had to earn $1,134.58 every second since I was born.

If we keep the $1/second rate, I’d have to be alive for 26475 years before I reached Elon Musk’s net worth.

For context, 26475 years ago, the Earth was still in the early Ice Age. To be as rich as Elon Musk, you would’ve had to earn $1 for every second that’s passed since the Earth was a snowball.

Where’s the YA protagonist teen girl and her two boyfriends that are supposed to save us from this mess anyways

Concept: Trans girl becomes a superhero and people get mad about it because she has an "unfair biological advantage" and she's confused because every superhero has one of those

[tgirl-tamag0tchi]

Especially if her power isn’t even something physical.
