“The patriarchy conspires to weaponize women’s bodies so that we remain small, hungry, and preoccupied. Who has the energy to run for office, organize politically, or rise to the top of her career when she’s so focused on getting to or maintaining the perfect weight?”

My father in law, who was born and raised in Chios, Greece, laughed tonight when I told him the white supremacists on X were mad about the casting of the Odyssey movie. "We're not white. Why do they think we're white?"

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

You should not build wealth just to build wealth. This is folly. You should build wealth to afford an old mansion big enough that all your relatives want it, but also haunted enough that it’ll be fun to watch them all try to live there long enough to win the deed to it after you’ve faked your death

Addendum: I actually think you can see this most acutely with Mexican food, in that its ubiquity makes it easier to see how things have changed. Mexican has gone from meaning Taco Bell to most Americans to enchiladas and fajitas to "street" tacos and now to moles and birra and chilaquiles.
