Why do you ask? This reads as either a troll post and/or a TERF post. I could be mistaken.

They really made those microplastics look delicious in that illustration.

I don't particularly care about the downvoting, but I do prefer bidirectional blocking when possible. Obviously a public profile is still visible, but if someone blocked had to make a new account to interact with you, that'd be nice.

That's just a preference. Whatever the consensus is, I'll be fine with it. The most important thing is that it's clear and known how it works. Someone with a stalker should quickly be able to get how things work to decide if they want to be on here.

Promote policies that benefit everyone. By promoting policies such as hybrid work and parental leave that benefit everyone, workplaces will attract and retain a more diverse workforce, which leads to greater innovation. Encourage men to take advantage of these policies and ensure your company culture makes it acceptable to do so. This enables men to actually experience the benefit of these initiatives. Align efforts around shared values – such as the desire for healthier families, better education or stronger economies.

i like that it acknowledges that the work culture also needs to encourage men to take parental leave. just having it available doesn't help if a guy knows it will be considered negatively and possibly hinder advancement.

I'm not attempting to guilt anyone. I apologize if it seemed that way.

This was mostly notice to myself to avoid these comment sections, so I'd see my comment in my profile and remember not to click certain articles. If someone describes the pain in detail they wish on him and it's relevant to my uncle's illness, i will imagine my uncle experiencing that pain. i just will, and i see no need to train myself out of it. there's no value in that, for me. I like reading news comments, so I'll often just click an article I see with them without thinking.

It's none of my business what you post.

I've replayed some of them, but as stories, basically, with a guide. As a kid, me and my sister had tons of fun figuring out what worked in the text parser and what didn't. every new screen we unlocked was fascinating and nervewracking. we absolutely never finished them. we would mess around and then my sister would attempt the puzzle that involved reflexes, since i was younger. we died so so so many times.

the closest i got to winning one was years later. the one with the owl companion?? still, i got really far and then discovered i'd failed the game hours earlier by not picking up an item. i went and played something else. when i replayed them with guides, i was an adult, and some of it was cute, but you can't get back the brain you had as a kid that found them fascinating.

 

A (non) rom-com about two aromantic-asexual coworkers who, after an accidental meet-cute outside of work, mistakenly believe the other is in love with them. Updates on Fridays!

A very adorable comic about two people uninterested in romance who would be great friends if they realized the other party is also uninterested in romance. It's currently on hiatus, but there's enough there that I enjoyed the read.

 

Chief Kachindamoto has broken up 850 child marriages in three years, and banned the sexual initiations of young girls.

Old article, but a very cool lady I admire and want to highlight.

 

The leader of the defunct β€œgay furry hacker” group SiegedSec, known for releasing 200 gigabytes of leaked data from the Heritage Foundation last July, may have been the subject of an FBI raid, according to a former member.

 

RNAi's impact in the clinical arena has been nothing short of remarkable.

Yotor and his countrymen are among 260 people, most of them human-trafficking victims, who were sent from Myanmar to Thailand last week as a multinational crackdown on scam centers along the border between the two countries gathers pace.

For years, according to the United Nations, criminal gangs have trafficked hundreds of thousands of people to scam compounds across Southeast Asia, including along the Thai-Myanmar frontier, where victims have been forced to work in illegal online operations.

 

Since November 2023, when Russia’s Supreme Court designated the non-existent β€œinternational LGBT social movement” as an β€œextremist organization,” police departments across the country have executed a full-scale crackdown on the queer community. Officers have raided clubs and parties and placed LGBTQ+ people under surveillance while bigots harass queer community members and try to expose them to employers and parents. Wherever the authorities go, they collect evidence that facilitates monitoring, from video footage and business records to fingerprints and even mouth swabs. Meduza special correspondent Lilia Yapparova has learned that Russian officials are also discussing overhauling the country’s data-collection practices to create a single electronic registry for monitoring LGBTQ+ individuals β€” a database that would make blackmailing and persecuting queer people vastly easier.

 

Gay Gen-Z New York City Council member Chi OssΓ© has successfully done something that has failed in past attempts β€” ending the longtime practices of having apartment-seekers pay expensive brokers’ fees… and he did it, in part, by using social media videos.

 

My poor cat scratched his head by accident and won't leave the cut alone, so it's cone time. Unfortunately, every cone we've tried had been incredibly disruptive to his life. The newest one is at least lighter and he eats okay wearing it, but he's still miserable.

I'm willing to even make one if someone has a pattern they've used. I tried a hat, but he gets it off right away. I clip his claws shorter already, and it's not quite enough to keep him from reinjuring himself.

Any suggestions? He has allergies, so this is going to be an occasional problem.
