Wow that looks amazing!

You know it’s okay to dress brightly, flamboyantly, dazzlingly and even fabulously too, right?

I understand your point but let’s not ignore that fossil fuel corporations have made campaign donations and contributions to legislators for as long as those corporations existed. Whether or not legislators totally bought into the FUD (and I’m not sure all did, the same way not everyone in the wider public discourse bought into it) it was literally not in their interests to legislate against fossil fuel.

So, yes, we should hold them responsible.

Climate change has been in the public discourse since at least the 80’s, so legislators did know. It just hasn’t been in their interests to acknowledge it.

It’d be real nice if we could celebrate the fact that this is good news on an “uplifting news” community rather than devolving into whataboutism.

I didn’t intend to be dismissive and if my response sounded that way then I apologise.

I agree it’s difficult to be on the receiving end of vague signals, but my perspective is if there’s any annoyance or frustration it should be directed at the violent/angry men who have caused women to feel unsafe.

Helping women feel safer by tackling the violence and misogyny directed at them by men will benefit everyone.

While it might feel rough for you, it’s worth remembering that a lot of women have faced very real threats of violence for their upfront honesty.

If you’re only getting vague signals then maybe that’s the sign that she’s not fully into you.

I’d second this suggestion, I’ve used borg with rsync.net for the past 4 years and it’s been great.

I’m really sorry, I had colitis and it was awful. I really hope you find some relief from it.

My go-to *sonic/navidrome client on Android is Symfonium. It’s not free but it’s well-maintained and has all the features I need (smart playlists, artist radio, gapless playback and replaygain).

Oh wow I never realised I was missing tornado facts from my life but I am genuinely loving learning about this.

I’ve had a lot of good experiences with ear plugs. I’ve used musician’s earplugs to help reduce noise without blocking it out entirely, and while I don’t have personal experience with Loop earplugs I’ve heard a lot of positive things about them.

Regarding seeming “rude” by wearing earplugs: I completely understand the concern here. All I can really offer is that you’re doing something to look after and care for yourself: if other people have a problem with it then its a “them” problem, not a “you” one. This is just a personal method I use to help me get over the worry: I think of myself as a child, and consider how validating it would feel to see an adult wearing hearing protection/whatever else to make them feel comfortable, and how it would help child-me feel more empowered about my own comfort and needs. So I do it for child-me, and if that also gives anyone else a boost or helps them not to feel so awkward then that’s just a win for everyone.

I hope you recover from yours quickly. Food is the thing about Christmas I look forward to the most. This year I’ve just about managed to eat 5 plain crackers in the past 24 hours 😂
