Three foodway-related posts:
. doodh se dhuli by deepad
. seven things by troisroyaumes
. gross, weird, inedible by vi

I found all of these very thought- and hunger-provoking. I won't go into my own food traditions here, because to be honest I'm still detangling them and figuring out how to explain them. I will say that I love living in Vancouver, because I can warm up curried corned beef and rice at the office for lunch and nobody comes in screaming "what IS that?" but more like they all waft in going, "what smells so good?" So I'm very aware of how nice and non-stressful it is for me to luxuriate in my own foodways *and* enjoy many others here. (SERIOUSLY THOUGH WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIKE CHEE CHEONG FUN?!?!? WHY ARE THEY ALIVE)

This is useful for artists and non-artists alike, chromatic and non-chromatic alike, in that Lori talks about the internalized racism that most of us suffer from and how that manifests in our artistic endeavours.

. fandom_stocking!!! Go leave a wishlist, and then check the posted ones to see what you can fulfill!
. also, insmallpackages!!! Same sort of deal, different timelines and setup -- the wishing part is done, but you can grant even if you didn't wish!

I really like these "small gift" type thingies, for people who don't have a lot of time to commit, people who want to give something outside of the usual realms of fic/art, people who don't necessarily want to wish for anything themselves, and people who don't do well with deadlines. Check them out!
