Welcome! Any recipe suggestions?

It is already too much. I am not looking forward to the rest. I am happy alyaza is here to share all the links to keep me from thinking about work too much. Thank you alyaza!

But I think my old one is still talking in a box somewhere.

Ok you are so wholesome. You’re officially too sweet! Welcome to the fediverse! Happy to have you here!

oh wow well I truly meant it! Had no idea you’d be here. You’ve got a wonderful way with words and I look forward to reading more of your work!

That was beautifully written. A delightful read.

Yes but also he just hates anyone with less money than him. Ontarians are struggling to find any form of affordable shelter. This isn’t the first way ontario has made it illegal to be poor.

honestly I did give the cat a thumbs up. It kept sleeping but obviously was giving me one anyway.

Is there any chance the recent media frenzy has given them a perspective when they didn’t feel strongly before? Any chance they can be swayed to recognize trans people aren’t hurting anyone and are just living their lives?

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It sounds incredibly difficult and frustrating.

Internet hugs.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that makes sense! Thank you for that perspective. Maybe it wasn’t malicious towards the bike lane…

I love what the EU does to technology. Thank you EU!

Apollo forever till the blackout. Replaced the apollo spot with Mlem to keep my muscle memory from screwing over my desire to not support the reddit changes.

the developer, Andrew Shu, tells me that’s not the case — and shared emails with The Verge that appear to back him up.

oh wow spez is lying? I’m so surprised.

my subscribe was pending. I just learned that was a bug. HOORAY I’M IN!

I’m starting to feel reallllllllllllly ashamed of how bad i am at building in totk.

Sweet and salty things are good! I haven’t tried the watermelon feta salad myself but I can understand the reasoning behind the concept and I did mention it to someone else who thought it was an odd mix and they ended up loving it!

I can’t think of the weirdest combo I’ve eaten at the moment but I know what you mean about being surprised by food combos.

Epstein related news is always hard to read but these paragraphs really aren’t sitting well with me.

Monday’s settlement stems from claims filed last year by an unnamed woman, using the pseudonym Jane Doe, that the bank knowingly benefited from and facilitated Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. The woman, who alleges she was raped and trafficked, sued on behalf of a “large number” of other victims of that operation.

“We all now understand that Epstein’s behavior was monstrous, and we believe this settlement is in the best interest of all parties, especially the survivors, who suffered unimaginable abuse at the hands of this man,” JPMorgan said in a separate statement Monday morning.

The first paragraph says JPMorgan “knowingly benefited from and facilitated Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.”

But the next paragraph says “We all now understand that Epstein’s behavior was monstrous,"

So my main question is who exactly are the people who just found out that benefiting from sex trafficking others/minors is monstrous? and what on earth took them so long?

Every time I hear about rights being taken away I become more bold about my queerness.

Same with my straight cis partner. He actually begged me to paint a trans flag on his banjo because the main online banjo forum was being anti-trans and he was like “Well I don’t want people in public thinking I’m a bigot just because I play banjo”

Granted we’re a straight passing Canadian couple so these new anti-trans laws haven’t directly affected us but he’s wholeheartedly an ally and I’ve identified as bi for as long as I can remember so we do what we can to push back against anti lgbt (or generally bigoted) behaviour.

Yeah ok I’m down with this.

Well you’ve got to remember that these big and sudden changes are great because they benefit the ruling class which the conservatives will eventually become once they’ve pulled their bootstraps tight enough.

It’s just basic logic.
