Lowkey Gnocchi
Private Pasta Eating.
When you’re eating Italian dumplings with potato but you’re not letting everyone know about it… It’s a Lowkey Gnocchi night.
They’ll judge.
They’ll stare.
They’ll whisper.
All those carbs.
Doesn’t he know he’ll billow?
That’s a recipe for midsection madness.
But it’s a recipe from my Italian grandmother.
It’s a recipe for happiness, wrapped in a heavy blanket of joy.
I can eat the carbs.
No need to avoid.
I got my own diet plan.
None of which says no to gnocchi.
But still… if they see it… they’ll judge.
I’ll stay quiet.
That’s why it’s a Lowkey Gnocchi night.

The Body's Hidden Sugar Factory
Imagine your body as a bustling metropolis, constantly demanding energy to keep the lights on and traffic flowing. Glucose, the simple sugar derived from carbohydrates, acts as the city's primary fuel source. But what happens during rush hour, when carbohydrate stores dwindle? Enter gluconeogenesis, the body's ingenious way of manufacturing its own glucose from scratch, acting like a mini sugar factory within us.

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.

Hi Stephen ~ Glad to have discovered you on VM Shout-Out *I've subscribed to you with pleasure. Your interesting chosen topics and carefully-skilled illustrations entice me to read more. This article reminds me: 'Italian Dumplings' to my Matzo Balls - same "Carbs" but different recipes - *Alphabetically I sat next to a 'Kramer in all of my classes: He was the one smart-one that I cheated off; joking, or am I?
