@jhlofficixl Far be it from me to discuss shades of whiteness or anything resembling discourse surrounding it, but much of the best food in Europe isn’t cooked or imagined by the white descendants of 19th century Europeans. The most exciting food in France isn’t.
If you travel South by train through France, eggs change. Paris gives you richness and depth. At Narbonne, you can feel Le Maroc inviting you to get off rails and sail, leave Europe altogether, tempting you with pomegranate seeds, little sowbreads, syrup of mint, chili pearls.
Just to see if I could make @GarthGreenwell jealous (and sure, also for personal research reasons) I’m in Paris finding Marguerite Porete’s original French/Latin texts at Bibliothèque Marzine. On chapter 11: and Sin is Denial, and by understanding is this soul less than Denial.
And who can hope for a better, more inciting invitation than @Avgolis’ final introductory paragraph to Sexuality Beyond Consent? I’ve never had an introduction make me both frantic and elated. The perfect follow up to @GarthGreenwell ‘s apophatic workshops.

Nothing Avira does is good enough for her best friend. Her dream of art school? Stupid. Her dream girl? A threat. No matter what choice she makes, it feels like she's on the verge of losing what matters most. #QueerPit#YA#CON
