Forumverse, I guess.

(Though I’m always in favor of silly word combos, there aren’t many good ones. I like Piebin, but how do you get lemmy in there? Plebin? No thanks.)

hell yeah (wait too exciting a response sorry)

this reminds me i need to check over my powerwasher to see how it did over the winter

I can’t figure out what you’re trying to accomplish with any of what you’re saying. good luck with whatever you’re planning, though.

Yup, but this is the world we got now. These ladies are risking more than I am, and that has me really considering what more I could do and what I’m willing to risk. We can mourn what we lost, but we can’t go back in time.

Still, she took a more cautious approach to climate activism until she retired in 2021. “As a working GP, I didn’t really want to do anything that was arrestable . . . Maybe I retired a bit earlier as part of my wanting to do more for the climate.”

In November 2023, she was arrested and charged under the newly introduced offence of interference with key national infrastructure, which carries a maximum sentence of 12 months imprisonment, for taking part in a so-called slow march on Waterloo Bridge.

I appreciate that they’re going into this prepared to get arrested. And now they’re like “fuck it.” It’s weird people reading thw article seem to get the impression these specific women have sat on their butts their whole lives. Am I missing something? What should these specific women do differently?

There is no cure for dengue. Patients in wealthier countries generally fare better than patients in developing regions with limited access to medical interventions like blood transfusions and places where waves of dengue patients overwhelm already-strained healthcare systems. Two dengue vaccines are available in some countries, but both have serious limitations in terms of efficacy and how long they confer immunity.

Here’s the linked article about the state of the vaccine: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvacx.2024.100604

Would be nice to get all the trash off everest. Maybe make ones that can carry heavier loads to bring down bodies. There are like 200 left up there, I think?

Nut cheese and pea cheese - appetizing!

hormones?

Does it have qualities that would make it useful replacement in cooking and baking, or is it a drink alternative? The archive link isn’t working for me, so sorry if this is in the article. I’m really curious.

If it’s uncomfortable maybe you could sew something over the metal?

There’s a limit to how carefully you can word things to protect its meaning from people determined to read it in bad faith. I have it too - the desire to be long winded to preemptively protect myself from misunderstanding. But there’s a risk that we’ll turn everything we say into long blocks of soft useless mush. There’s no precision precise enough to be safe.

We have to, I think, decide to write for people willing to reach for us when we hold out a hand. There are enough willing to try that any general misunderstandings can be clarified with conversations other people can read if they want to understand. If enough of us are willing to do this for each other, it might be possible to build spaces where people who slap that outheld hand away don’t have to dictate conversation. And maybe we can both be less wordy.

Polish! I never really thought about why she did it. That’s really neat! I’ll have to ask dad if that’s what inspired her to make them. We inherited them, and had a little stand, but she had a whole elaborate display I wish I could remember clearly.

We made pretty the eggs we would’ve boiled and eaten anyway. The week after easter we’d be all ‘dad, you ate the one i wanted to eat!!’ because we decorated it the prettiest so it was ours. It was incredibly rare the eggs didn’t get eaten. We also had hollowed out eggshells my grandmother painted that we’d put in a place of honor every year.

Feels like they’re still figuring out how they want to do this, themselves. Every now and then i’ve been visiting the art themed pixelfed to follow people with mbin, and the explore page is sometimes there and sometimes not.

I wish both parents could take extensive leave after a child is born, without it being a financial issue later. Bonding early with the kid is good for everyone.
