Only a Fandom Butterfly

Star, she/her, introverted asexual just doing the best I can. For me a good day is a day when I can write. Mostly fandom and random pretty things to be found here. I like to write a variety of things, so it's hard to say where I'll go next. All of my fic can be found on AO3.

Why Manufacturers Are Intentionally Adding Allergens to Their Foods

A trend we predicted in 2016 continues.

US based but it’s similar reasons in other countries. and of course many companies have international locations. idk if that’s why it’s happening with sour patch kids but this is a thing

I cannot even explain how ANGRY I am at this.

My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

At the time, Kellogg’s notified Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) about the impending change and left it to them to warn the allergic community. In this case, Pearson’s didn’t even bother as near as we can tell."

I wonder if that’s part of the reason behind my seeing an upswing in products adding corn starch or corn flour to things that didn’t have those before? <- rhetorical question, because I’m certain that’s what’s going on.

Went over blood test results with my doc and she kept asking "are you sure you have no fatigue. You have multiple things here that one of the biggest obvious symptoms is fatigue" and just got a reel in my head of all the Extremely Obvious signs I missed over the last couple months.

question. does the yarn have to be supersize like, structurally?

[chimerafeathers]

i think the thing that bothers me about the “everything is sex, even/especially things that aren’t literally sex” mindset that i keep seeing around—and specifically the positioning of it as this enlightened way of thinking—is that it is still holding up sex as the highest, most special and important form of intimacy possible. you know?? this is a moment of immense intensity and vulnerability and intimacy, therefore it must be sex, and in fact that’s the truest and realest and coolest way to read it. as though those things can’t exist outside of that framework.

idk man i just want sex to be a Normal Thing. not the most appalling shameful thing that no one should ever talk about so that the thought of something being created for a fetish makes people recoil, AND ALSO not held up as the Height Of Human Connection such that all art and all connection can and should be reinterpreted through it. both of those things suck.

[chimerafeathers]

“these characters’ feelings/actions towards each other are so intense and intimate, there is no platonic explanation, it has to be romantic” 🤝 “this scene/activity is so intense and intimate, it’s fundamentally sex”

[poetry-protest-pornography]

This is the best one

(in case anyone needs context, since i know there's a bunch of younguns who didn't even know the "It's gonna be May" meme... The song playing is NSync's song "It's Gonna Be Me", the guy in the mint green t-shirt is NSync member Lance Bass, and the guy in the pink hoodie is his husband Michael.)

Just seeing a picture is enough

Seeing a film / video in which they are not playing themselves

Seeing a film / video OR reading an interview in which they are being themselves

Parasocial interactions like social media posts where they respond to other fans

IRL parasocial interactions (e.g. con panel) OR IRL performances (play, concert)

Digital / virtual interactions (e.g. tumblr mutuals, Discord server members)

IRL social interactions in groups with other people

IRL one-on-one interactions in a specific context (e.g. kink party)

IRL one-on-one interactions over a short period (days)

IRL one-on-one interactions over a long period (weeks)
