I thought it was disrespectful to wear your hat in church. Huh.
I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

I’ve uploaded a pdf version of my template to https://jmp.sh/s/IgHX1wC0dubcJVDBm0OU . That link’ll expire it 24 hours. If you know of a better place to upload a pdf, I’m happy to post it there.
Been there, done that. Now I go in with a print out of what I want to convey and let it do the talking. It goes much better for me. If you like I can generic-ify my template and share it, once I’m off mobile.
Yep. That’s why I’m here again. My reddit app may work for now, but the writing is on the wall in bigger, bolder letters.
Why don’t you ask the trans people you know? They’re more likely to know their reasons that we are. We’re just random people in the Internet. They’re the ones whose style causes you questions.
This last election, I googled the candidates and voted for the ones that hadn’t tried to ban books at the local library.
No, Joey hasn’t been updated since Reddit said they were pulling the plug last year. It just… kept working.
I’m also a fan of canned green beans, but only the french sliced ones. I think that helps with the stringiness you can sometimes get. Oh! Creamed corn is also a lovely comfort food for me.
Whole chickpeas do have a disagreeable texture. Black beans and edamame don’t squick me the same way, so maybe give them a try if you haven’t already?
Me “not eating pork” is already a political statement to my mom’s side of the family and has been for a at least a decade. A government body recommending less beef? The horror!
I also suspect an overexposure to canned veggies is also to blame. Canned veggies can be soggy-gross. I really like frozen veggies, though. They fill the same “lasts nearly forever” niche, but with a better texture.
Oh, and kale can go stuff itself. Kale and collard greens are the only two leafy greens I just can’t stand.
I think the important bit is “maybe-salted water”. My same parent didn’t like garlic, so I didn’t get exposed to it (or most other seasonings) until college.
Not to worry. My partner is trying to make up for lost time keeps incorporating actually-seasoned chicken into meals. I’m to the point where “well, it tastes good when he does it, but I’ll still not cook chicken for myself or order it in a restaurant”.
Same! Well, TBH chicken often tastes gross to me (grew up with a parent that thought ‘boil it in maybe-salted water’ was the way to go). But there’s plenty of non-beef options! Tofu, turkey, textured vegetable protein, it’s all good. (TVP’s great for things like sauces, where you just need the texture of ground beef, but the other flavors would drown it out anyway). Even a peanut butter and jelly sandwich makes for an easy work lunches.
Take a look at this daily brief put out by OCHA (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs). It’s dated 6 November 2023.
Their “Data on Casualties” tracker is more detailed in its breakdown, but is slower to update (as noted on that page).
Edit: So, of 5918 adult fatalities listed, 2550 (43%) were women. It’s not clear to me at first glance if the remaining 57% are men, or if there are some undetermined folks mixed in.
Ohio is a perfectly nice place filled with perfectly nice people. Exceptionally, creepily, contagiously nice.
Are you suggesting that
Fight, flight, freeze, fawn. Your brain chooses freeze.
I don’t know if practice (being yelled at?) would help or entering situations knowing you’ll be yelled at or what.
Silly question: does freezing cause you problems? I could see it defusing the hypothetical situation a bit, I could also see it making the situation worse.
And iirc the historical reason it’s not disrespectful for women to keep their hat on is that hats were much more integrated into women’s hairdos. So, it’d be a whole production of removing hat pins, re-arranging curls, etc.
