  • And yet people here are perfectly happy to eat ugly produce and expressing an unmet demand. The complaints about ugly produce markets here are all about spoiled or tasteless food, not appearance.

    If banana farmers shipped 90% of the bananas they grew, they could reduce the share of their land dedicated to bananas and either broaden their repertoire of crops or allow the gained area to rewild.

    Bananas are particularly sensitive to disease, so having borders of other crops would help prevent spread between banana plantations.

    Or feral, tbh.

    Gender expectations for afabs in high school are unhinged. A “friend” once made me feel bad because I carried fat in my breasts, just because she was insecure about having smaller breasts than I did. I didn’t even want them at all, but somehow I got shamed for them not being good enough.

    The most baffling part is that I didn’t get my period until 17, so at no point during high school did I even have a bust for her to get jealous about, I was just a little chubby.

    I was also regularly called a man for not plucking my pretty tame eyebrows and getting fake tans. I’d say that they might have been picking up on my egg status, but I’m pretty certain that’s not the case. Man, I hated high school.

    (Sorry for the stilted terminology- I don’t feel comfortable using any word to describe 17 year olds’ chests, it turns out.)
