Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Shit like Walmart+ or similar. If it's your only option for groceries or whatever then that's different but at least where I live you can save so much by shopping locally for certain things. It's inconvenient at times, but trading inconvenience for corporate oversight is part of the reason my country is in so much shit as it is. I haven't spent a fucking dime at Walmart in a few years and likewise for things like whole foods or comparable. Go to a farmers market, hell it's a fun family outing on top of responsible use of your money. Same goes for door dash or Uber eats... I won't argue the merit of being able to have vital things delivered when maybe you're deathly ill but America's culture encourages these conveniences for absurd markups and somehow makes into the literal lexicon of speech such as, Google it, or let's just door dash it.
Paying a monthly fee to make something like this "cheaper" should be a clear fucking signal that you shouldn't be using this in the first place unless it's the only option.
I shop local whenever I can too! i recommend it. But then that's something I can afford to do cos price wise it does add a few pounds. It's definitely worth it IMO
Thing is if we all did that it wouldn't be the extra fee quid or dollars, it would be the smart thing to do. Sadly convenience commands marketplaces in modern culture.
