I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I used to publish fiction on rec.music.gdead, come to think of it. Good times. Didn't become a career, though.

Glycemic index of sweeteners chart [link] It is not clear to me at what point the numbers become acceptable, but, still, numbers.

Yacon is intriguing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The average of most of the guides I read was effectively "over 50 is high, under 40 is low" so that's my general dividing criteria. However "glycemic load" and just a plain lack of agreement about who tests the index and how means I feel I'm just avoiding the worst stuff.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't really remember(except a Tom Robbins group that was very much like this place, in spirit) but I spent a lot of time on Usenet.

soc.culture.african.american was MOBF before TT had MOBF. One of the places I left my full name before I knew not to use it recreationally. Also lots of time in racsfw, rast.*, rac.*, and back in the day when reading porn stories not about TV characters was a thing I did with any of my time--alt.sex.ita'sgettingeducated.

I was wondering about that. Glycemic index sounds so scientific and precise, but I don't know how you measure it or if there are actual standards.

Regardless of that, I hope it helps.

I was on those! Good times, good times, back when I didn't feel guilty only feeling goth and still trying to play in spaces.

I don't know how you measure it or if there are actual standards.

A fair amount of the tests I saw described (aka those that I remember) involved testing on people. So, you know, totally repeatable and applicable universally.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just finished watching the season finale of Nashville, which means I am officially out of new TV on my DVR.

now what?
