Missing some kind of then-statement here.

I (white) have cosmetic preferences which happen to select (weakly) against white people and in favor of everyone else, so I can relatively safely talk about it.  (I love brown eyes and dislike blond hair.)

I don't know where my cosmetic preferences came from, but it seems likely that some people have less speakable ones from that same source, and mistake it or have it mistaken for something about race-per-se.  I don't think this can explain the magnitude of the effect, but I feel like it's missing as a hypothesis whenever people manage to talk about racial disparity in dating at all.

When I started making double batches of pancake batter, they came out fluffier.

I checked and re-checked all the math on the doubling so many times to make sure I wasn't adding too much or too little of something, but the ratios were all right.

Eventually I realized I was going through baking powder faster and so the baking powder was fresher.

Stripe is even less welcome to my phone number than you are!  But I'll retry without the info saving thing.

I just went to try to give you $40 (because there's an event that I expect to be hosted at Lighthaven, and I want to go to it, and would be happy to pay for a ticket at something in that ballpark of a price, but kind of expect to be offered free entry, so I might as well "pay for my ticket" now to make sure the place is there to have the event in).

But the form requires a phone number and will not accept all zeroes or all nines and you can have forty dollars  but you cannot have a real phone number.

In the SS25 collections, we see it, unsurprisingly, in skin-baring clubwear:

but also in more classically graceful gowns and tailoring:

in slightly kooky and unhinged references to early-60s femininity:

and in more eclectic, playful styles:

I was so excited about this post until I realized the metaphorical peanut butter was also exercise.

I mean, sure, it looks like that when people who sound credible to you are checking.

Our world would seem mundane to us no matter what was in it.  Maybe it's actually wildly unrealistic that many people keep cats as pets.  Maybe dandelions are some kind of Easter egg.  Maybe our so-called natural languages are ludicrously simple and regular compared to the monstrosities real people with real history speak.
