She didn’t exist. Betty Crocker a marketing device presenting info from the combined efforts of a number of home economists (a valid degree and career option for women for about a century) and marketers for products sold by the Washburn-Crosby Co, later owned by General Mills.

Or more likely created by home economists testing, combining and standardising multiple such mailed in recipes before putting their brand name on it.

Magazines & newspapers might print as is, but Betty Crocker & other industry brands hired women to make sure the recipes were reliable anywhere.

It would be within the rights of the city/county/state, whichever regulation they are breaking, to remove it. They would not hesitate if you or I blocked a road.

That’s good. Even when I wander into the graphic novel section of the store, I don’t know what any of them are/which might be to my taste. Put them by the books I read and I might buy one.

Next step, just put them on the shelves by author name as any other book.

The thing is, the instant they perceive that a particular conservative is agreeable to us, that conservative’s career as a conservative is down the toilet. They will consider him a sell out, a turn coat, a traitor or a fake.

Not just closeted gay either. They could be hiding from any and every point in both the gender and attraction spectrums and only allowing themselves to think in terms of the PIV sex they are supposed to want and are avoiding setting themselves up to get.

The government can’t do a lot of things Trump and the GOP are doing/allowing, so that’s not much reassurance.

Escaping a life you don’t like is much easier if it’s a corporate life.

Not so much when it’s an hourly wage life.

Until her daughter came out? I knew they had a gay son. I don’t remember anything about their daughter.

The people attending him would have to realise he’d been stung.

Likely if the OP had done this research in advance the lecture would have been less impenetrable to them. Sounds like they went in with a slight curiosity expected a quick museum docent tyoe of lecture. But what they got was deep actual academics.

Glastonbury is so corporate it’s pointless. It’s the wee tiny festivals where you’ll find good music, from independent artists you’ll most likely not hear on the radio but have to seek out on YT or other sources for yourself.

That’s ok. It’s not out of date everywhere else. It’s not at all uncommon for bodies of water to be called by different banes in different countries. The French and English have different names for the body of water between them.

I’m gonna be sad when that guy eventually retires and this wee shop disappears.

Blenheim’s pink cap is the absolute best ginger beverage and I wish I could get it in the U.K. or regular Blenheim.
