Today's LGBTQ+ Character of the day is

The Essential Worker (heavily implied)

[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!

[pandorasquillandquotes]

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...

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.

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

Consider the Fork isn’t about food itself exactly but all about cooking technology and how it changed how and what we eat

guys i just found out about this site that does a daily guessing game, it’s phylogenetic wordle- so fun!!!

[namethatghostling]

women have no idea how hard it is being a man. for example, [describes an experience that is not at all exclusive to being a man]

edit: And When I Say Women That Includes Trans Women And When I Say Men That Includes Trans Men, Stupid

[fadingsirenpuppet]

Omg it pmo to see those videos of guys doing something stupid like laughing at broken led signs and everyone’s like “THIS is what boys being boys means! #positive masculinity!”

Why is it somehow a male trait to laugh at stupid stuff with your friends? Do you think girls don’t laugh when we see a broken grocery store sign that says Dick Store?

This is funny to everyone not just men

calling things "cutes" is so uh. what's a good word for when something is cute but slightly more cute

[hbmmaster]

the word cutes is autological
