Too much?

Last week I broke my own record for number of cheeses eaten at one sitting. 15 cheeses assisted into my mouth by 8 Finn Crisp crackers. In no particular order we have: Cashel Blue, Gorgonzola dolce, Robiola, Red Cat, Gruyère, aged Parm, a basic farm blue, Intergalactic, 3 by VT Cheese co - Bonne Bouche, a semi-firm goat, and one that’s like a Ste. Marcellin whose name I forget. And Saint Nuage, Le Castagne, and Cambazola. I’m in the US.

I’m away on vacation this week and missing my cheese drawer. I think I have a problem.

Butch identity

Hi, femme visitor here. 👋 I’m dating a woman who by all outside measures presents as butch (not just masc). Clothing, actions, way she moves, how she acts etc… I’ve dated and known many butch women and have great love, admiration, and respect for butches in general. She is offended by the term ‘butch’ and doesn’t even want to be called lesbian. She says butch is outdated and means arrogant and false bravado/machismo. Also hates the terms queer and dyke. Says the word non-binary is not for her either. Is this internalized homophobia? She will only call herself gay, says she refuses to be labeled and controlled and put in a box.

The only thing I can think of is that she’s 45 and lived in very straight, white suburbs her whole life and hasn’t been exposed to queer people very much. To me, based on my experience anyway, her gender presentation is very like the other wonderful butch partners I’ve had. Both those who staunchly identify as lesbian and those who are more non-binary or even trans masc. She says she doesn’t want to be like other people. I try to explain that a label, much like my label of femme, is kind of like a sorting hat. Like it’s a description but you get to talk about what it means to you personally. She can’t describe her own gender presentation or feelings around it.

Is there a resource or book or website she could check out? I don’t need her to pick an identity per se, but as someone who adores butches and loves my own identity as a high femme I’d love us to be able to talk more about gender in all its fascinating forms.

Freshman food options

Picking from the meal plans for my 6’5 son. He’s a big eater, unsurprisingly, but also a little particular. Should I start with the lowest plan and add dining dollars/just give him food money for off campus restaurants? Or a swipe plan and cross my fingers he finds food he likes at the dining halls?
