Below, the latest dispatch from Brownstone in D.C.\\n***\\nDonald Trump has just been sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. I’m sitting at a Bolt Burger in Washington, D.C., watching the inauguration ceremony post-mortem play on several flatscreen TVs. A friend is sitting across from me. Her eyes are wide and wet. We have no words.\\nLast night I watched Trump signs burn at a protest outside the National Press Club, where leaders of the alt-right, a loose conglomeration of people who seek to make racism, xenophobia, and misogyny cool and current, were attending something called the Deploraball. Several hundred protesters were outside the event waving antifascist signs. One protester, a young white man in a black bandana, elbowed his way past me and said, “It was better when there were less media people here.†He didn’t speak for every protester, but I couldn’t help but think that the people attending the Deploraball might agree with him.VisitShare133LikesMichelle W., Discover1d agobody imageIt’s Not Just Muscles I’m Growing, Here“Numbers do not tell you, or me, or anyone else, my worth, they are simply numbers, and the one on my scale is no different, and that’s what my sports have done for me.†Powerlifter Stephanie reflects on how sports have given her much more than physical fitness.Follow Squat Rack ShenanigansVisitShareComment167LikesBen Huberman, The Daily Post1d agoblogging challengesGracefulI love winter, but there’s something about this time of year that always feels clunky to me: all those layers. Watching for ice on the sidewalk. Keeping track of kids’ mittens and toques (a lost cause). Nature might be at its most minimalist — bare branches, pristine fields of snow — but, unless we’re trained figure skaters, we tend to navigate these landscapes far less gracefully than usual. (Disclaimer: I’m not a trained figure skater.)\\nLuckily, we have swans to inspire us.\\n\\nGracefulness is a tricky quality — it manifests itself as an effortless, subtle harmony between a subject and its environment. I took the photo above a few weeks ago at a seaside fish market in Richmond, British Columbia. There was a fun, messy element to the place: people shuffling about, seagulls excitedly circling fishing boats, fresh fish heaped on beds of ice shavings. The swans? They were there in the midst of the action, but you couldn’t tell by their comportment. Stately, elegant, but never stiff, they simply lounged in the water, enjoying some sun.Post about Graceful VisitShare392Comments465LikesLongreads1d agoThe Stranger‘We Need to Have A Voice In This America, Too’Longreads has teamed up with The Stranger’s Sydney Brownstone and Heidi Groover, along with photographer Nate Gowdy, to cover the presidential inauguration and protests.

Later, during the reception held at Portland’s Jupiter Hotel, Washington state senator Marko Liias recited the text of Obergefell vs. Hodges, the 2015 US Supreme Court decision that legalized Allen and Wells’ right to marry in the first place. “It was magical,†Allen remembers. The couple thought about their future, about adopting or fostering children. The election was still a month away, and Allen and Wells were hopeful Hillary Clinton would win.\\nBut just a month after the wedding, Allen and Wells’ sense of hope plummeted. The election went to Trump and his notoriously homophobic vice president-elect, Mike Pence. The newly married couple realized that a Trump appointee to the Supreme Court could reverse their hard-won rights. Allen started having trouble sleeping at night. The couple fought.VisitShare137Likes Recommended Postsgridicons-crossKatherine FritzI Am Begging My Mother Not To Read This BlogFollowThis I Swear.My heart is breaking again today.\\nI’ve been cycling through those first four stages of grief on repeat and on shuffle for the past few weeks, and the last few…gridicons-crossDeepika RameshWorn CornersFollowIn A New, More Fractured LightI hate Krithika Ramesh.

He also wondered if there was something he could do to the beans ahead of time.â€\\nThe next day, McGee went looking for answers. At the Yale biology library, he discovered that plenty of food-science research had been published by and for the food manufacturing and packaging industries, but little of it had been shared with chefs or home cooks.\\n“I spent hours in that library because I had never seen anything like it,†McGee told me. “Poultry science and agricultural and food chemistry. I would just flip through random volumes and see microscopic studies of things I eat every day. It seemed so cool and unexpected. It took more than a day to home in on the right sources about beans, but not only did I find out what’s in them and what you can do about it, but there is a fart chart and there are things you can do to lessen your suffering.  Most of the research in the field of flatulence was funded by NASA.
