  4. Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 110: Feminist Food Studies

    Feminist studies and food studies have a fascinating history of difference, alignment, and emergence. This episode covers some of that span, from a laborious recipe for baked rice pudding (without eggs…!) to a themed issue of Canadian Food Studies (Vol. 5 No. 1) that is dedicated to feminist food studies (doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v5i1). Lots of voices this week, including Jennifer Brady, Barbara Parker, Elaine Power, Liz Lovell, Steph Chartrand, and of course the inimitable Alexia Moyer.

  5. I share this object to my socials again, in the image below.

    I ask the fediverse, what object are you aware of that can signify social class and yet has never been mentioned in mainstream news article? (joke answers also welcomed)

  6. Suzanne Lilar | Une Enfance Gantoise (1976/2022) — early 20th-c. #Ghent, #socialclass divides, cultural frictions, Dutch/Flemish with French accent, and French.

  7. I came from a "middle-class" background but growing up I too could never have anything that I really wanted because nobody could afford to spend the money on me (so they said...). That experience scars you for life, no matter how "successful" you become.

  8. As Jem Bartholomew says,

    "Judge Robert McBurney’s ruling came weeks after ProPublica reported that two Georgia women, Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller, died after being unable to access legal abortions in the months after the Roe v Wade ruling was overturned, which had guaranteed the right to an abortion until the point of fetal viability."

  9. "It is generally men who promote and defend laws like the LIFE Act, the effect of which is to require only women – and, given the socio-economic and demographic evidence presented at trial, primarily poor women, which means in Georgia primarily black and brown women – to engage in compulsory labor, i.e., the carrying of a pregnancy to term at the government’s behest."

  10. Facial features linked to #stereotypes and #socialclass perception

    #Faces perceived as poor exhibited characteristics such as being wider, shorter, and flatter, with downturned mouths and darker, cooler complexions. In contrast, faces perceived as rich were narrower and longer with upturned mouths and lighter, warmer complexions, corresponding to #perceptions of competence, warmth, and trustworthiness.
