Planning on teaching the young folks in the friend group how to garden and preserve food, how to make simple medications, how to defend themselves. And I’m also planning to leave as soon as I get my bachelor degree to pursue a research PhD in another country. I’m in ecology and conservation, there’s no future for me here.

Is there a work around? I feel like every time I figure out how to keep it from uploading and just save locally, it resets the next time I boot up. I’ve been using word because the transcribe feature is very helpful for navigating uni with my disabilities

A simple NY style slice with extra cheese. Maybe some Buffalo sauce to dip in if I’m feeling fancy

I just realized I haven’t listened to Linkin Park in at least a decade. Thanks for reminding me about them

I posted a picture of myself on reddit asking for hair advice. My head was turned somewhat to the side so my nose was in profile. Someone felt the need to tell me I had the ugliest nose they had ever seen. I never really noticed the shape before that, but now in my mind’s eye it’s huge, crooked and has a hook.

A decade later I was getting a septoplasty to repair damage from an assault, and I asked the surgeon if he could remove the hook in my nose. He looked at me with the most compassion anyone ever has, and asked me to point out the hook in the mirror. It was the first time in all those years I finally saw my real nose. It’s actually pretty cute, I don’t know what that commentor was smoking

Covid wrecked me even with vaccination and boosters. Water, and sleep is what helped. I didn’t even eat for a couple days. I could barely get out of bed, let alone stand and cook. Just slept and drank what I could

Wow. I think you just resolved some minor trauma for me. My mother used to berate (and sometimes beat) me for “never finishing things”, as in I’d be really interested in something and then lost interest. It drove her up the wall, but since I was a kid all I heard was “stop being interested in everything”.

I got dx’d with ADHD at 35. Slowly, and thanks to comments like yours, I’m making sense of my brain and learning to be kind to myself

Rushing to the boombox when you hear your new favorite song, to record it to cassette

It takes more time to cut and sew mesh panels into the leggings. Time and more labor. That could be a reason they’re more expensive

I’d love to go to a sober bar. Sure, I can get non alcoholic cocktails at my local, but it’d be nice to have the atmosphere and know everyone else is sober too

Frozen grapes

I love the contrast between these two themes

If we ban trans women who’ve been on estrogen for two+ years bared on genetics, then we should also ban athletes with genetic advantages like Michael Phelps. I’m not in favor of banning people

I get asked this a lot, because my accent is dissimilar from the area I live now. I think if people were more familiar with the area I’m from, they’d ask where my parents are from because my accent and terms are a weird mix of the two places.
