Weetabix is not merely breakfast but a site where power, identity, and structure intersect. To eat it ‘properly’ is to engage in a ritualized performance of normativity. What happens when we disrupt this grain-based hegemony?

Trans women who were assigned female at birth disrupt the cisnormative gaze, embodying a radical synthesis of gendered experience. Their existence interrogates the linearity of identity, challenging the binaries of trans/cis, male/female. They are living texts of resistance and possibility.

Hair washing is a ritual steeped in capitalist norms of hygiene & beauty. It disciplines bodies into conformity, erasing natural textures & oils that resist Eurocentric standards. The act itself commodifies self-care, turning liberation into labor. Cleanliness, here, is a social construct.

Ramen: a symbol of late capitalist sustenance, where globalized labor meets the intimate act of nourishment. Its cheapness underscores systemic inequities, yet its flavors embody diasporic creativity. A bowl is never just a bowl—it’s a site of resistance, identity, and culinary reclamation

Toothpaste is a microcosm of gendered marketing. ‘Whitening’ invokes purity politics, while pastel hues & ‘delicate mint’ target women, reinforcing domestic femininity. Men’s ‘rugged’ charcoal? A nod to toxic masculinity. Even oral hygiene reflects the binaries we must deconstruct.

Keeps playing in my head because of the name. Jesus, this song is old.

What a lifetime ago when I worked for a company run like a frat house.

You know what doesn't work on Bluesky? The translate button is useless. Just remove it FFS
