bourgeois

trustycoffeemug
describing the middle class who ascended to prominence and superceded the landed aristocracy in the seventeenth century. they successfully embarrassed their social betters by proving there was a path to success beyond an inborn divine mandate, while selling out the lower class by perpetuating the cycle of labor exploitation.

pharmakon

orikami
(n.) remedy, poison, and scapegoat -- a trifecta.
remedy because it can heal, in the right circumstances and the right amounts.
poison because it can cause damage, in the wrong place, at the wrong time, on the wrong person, in the wrong form.
scapegoat because the act of summoning all evils and fallings-short of, say, a community onto one person & then casting them out/ sacrificing them can lead to a clean slate and healing, or it can lead to things being swept under the rug and continued festering.

being reactive (aka, living within past assumptions; aka, blind to your current circumstances) can lead you astray. you may apply some substance, activity or method and expect to heal, but instead, it only causes damage. ready-made "cure-alls" and "easy fixes" fall into this category.

(also: paradox)
(also: damage)
(also: healing)
(also: pay attention)

trustycoffeemug

hawaiian pizza

trustycoffeemug
pizza done in the style of hawaii. putting aside that it was created in canada by a greek guy.

traditionally the toppings placed atop the cheese base will include ham or bacon, and little cubical prisms of pineapple. the blend of sweet and savory is generally regarded as an acquired taste, or, in other words, something you won't like until you've tried it a few times.

like airline food, hawaiian pizza is one of those easy targets for comedy, presumably because it doesn't fight back
