Thoughts on petro-masculinity coming on strong and a myriad of uses for the excess of lemon balm I have in my kitchen. The latest instalment of SCrap Kitchen dives into the connection between meat consumption, climate denial and toxic masculinity. And it's jam-packed with recipes too.

Dismantling the gender binary is essential, by acknowledging the traditionally “feminine” and “masculine” roles within society I am not agreeing with them. Bringing this back to the tarot for a second the idea of duality, the sun/moon, light/dark dichotomy is something to explore with ourselves. To balance and question. But there is not only night or day, there are sunsets, sunrises and twilights. Each of these exists outside the binary and so can you.
