My favorite source notes in The Invention of the Restaurant: Paris and Modern Gastronomic Culture by Rebecca L. Spang
One recent analysis argues that Mayeux, though a “deformed dwarf,” was a “hero of the people”
It is unclear whether the murder of a lingerie merchant by her lover, a Russian servant, happened in a cabinet or in the restaurant’s main salon
Carême, by far the most famous chef and cookbook author of the first half of the nineteenth century, prefaced his books with calls for martyrdom; no sacrifice was too great for the chef’s art
The invasions of 1814-1815 had been “disastrous from the perspective of glory” but nonetheless very profitable
The utopian socialist Charles Fourier had offered a “scientific” perspective on this ideal, arguing that when humanity progressed from the state of “Civilization” to that of “Harmony,” the polar icecaps would melt and fill the oceans with lemonade.
The police also kept Napoleon up to date on conditions in the fan industry
Another of the Almanach’s rare ventures in recipe publishing concluded: “one would eat one’s own father if he were prepared with this sauce,”
The little old lady who followed the First Consul everywhere in the hope of inviting him to dinner
Even a recent, generally friendly, biographer writes of Louis’s “huge size which, if nothing else, was to make him such a remarkable king”
Although the first anniversary of Bonaparte’s coup had not been declared a state holiday, it had nonetheless been spontaneously celebrated by “the fatherland’s real friends”
The numerous turn-of-the-century singing societies have yet to find their historian
The seesaw was a staple of post-revolutionary French political imagery. It was especially common in depictions of the physically slight Napoleon and the bulky Louis XVIII
Physicians claimed that unqualified persons, in reading about diseases, would start to see all the symptoms in themselves. The Gazette de santé decried inexpensive medical dictionaries as “just so many swords in the hands of fools” and reported a case of “cholera induced by reading popular medical books,”
The Swedish monarch was often praised for his sagacity in outlawing copper cookware.
De Jaucourt, author of this article, cites Homeric heroes as dietary role models
An article in the Encyclopédie also made it clear that semen had to be directly replaced with nourishment
He explains, “They are for a financier who is going to do his rounds through the provinces. Can a man of his importance put up with the horrible soups they serve in inns?”

I am an 18 year old bisexual trans man, I have been homeless for the past 5 months after leaving an abusive household. My partner is a 19 year old closeted trans girl, currently living as a gay man, she has been homeless for 2 and a half years since her mom kicked her out because of her struggles with addiction. We are both ADHD and autistic and do better with street life than housed life but are looking for something more stable, especially since my partner is trying to recover from her alcoholism. We finally came to the conclusion that a camper would be the best solution for us and are now trying to save up for one. Neither of us can hold down every day jobs due to our neurodivergence, but we are doing everything we can to try and make some money. If you can send a few dollars our way, anything helps.

One Of The Boys
One Of The Boys is a charming miniseries that transports viewers to the scenic Danish countryside for a story that explores the complicated but not unfamiliar swirl of feelings around sexuality, masculinity, and queerness.
Teenaged Lau (Jonathan Meinert Pedersen) has always felt a bit socially awkward, especially in his small, provincial town where hyper-masculinity is idolized. So, of course, he sticks out like a sore thumb when he’s sent to what’s known as “Man Camp”—a wilderness retreat where young boys undergo a series of challenges to test their strength and stamina.
This year, however, a new kid named Aksel (Jacob Spang Olsen) catches his eye. He’s got bleach-blond hair, an artistic sense of style, and he seems to be above all of the Man Camp nonsense (“Don’t you find it a bit creepy that two grown men take these young boys out to a cabin to play?” Aksel jokes). Naturally, Lau can’t help but be intrigued.
As the two develop feelings for on another, they struggle with how to show it, especially as they’re surrounded by peers who have shown they’re pretty eager to mercilessly taunt anyone who can’t prove their manliness on this so-called “mancation.”
The four-part series makes its U.S. premiere—with English subtitles—on June 8, exclusively through Viaplay.

sometimes being online is like that episode of spongebob where mr krabs wishes he was cool so he does all the things that spongebob and patrick say are cool, but it only makes mr krabs feel even more uncool cause he doesn't enjoy any of it, until he finally realizes that spongebob and patrick are actually just painfully lame and out of touch with their peers and he flies into a rage and starts attacking small children
