They included the wrong parts in the Build A Baby blue light special at K Mart.

I got a merino wool sweater for $10 at the thrift shop and I felt like a god.

I use it for work moodboards because I’m a designer working with non designers who only use the Google suite. Feels like I’m one of the few people who will actually miss Jamboard. Guess I’ll need to make them all learn Figjam.

Transmasc but I would unironically buy those. I fucking love sour patch kids and they’d only be improved by having them in trans colors.

Between lawful evil and neutral evil since mine is both the name of a character I like and a noun. I can multi-task.

I hate upvoting this kind of shit because in my brain upvote = like. Hate the news, but love Erin’s reporting.

Thanks for this! I personally find most of Hexbear annoying on a personal level, but that’s a problem I can personally solve with community blocking (and I mostly surf my subbed communities anyway). The way the original metathread devolved put them on thin fucking ice as far as federation is concerned. They seem to have a large proportion of people who are assholes for assholes sakes and haven’t learned that just because you believe you’re right about something doesn’t mean you have a pre-ordained right to be a fucking asshole. Or at least I’ve seen a lot of those folks, which has left a bad taste in my mouth.

How can I have Nugget’s job?

If this means I never see the homepage again that’s a win.

I lost it in my backpack on the way home from school.

Glad to be back and thanks for your hard work!

Kept on having issues today but was finally able to log in. Glad to be back :)

Hey I think you meant to post this to c/196. This is c/blahaj.

Not the same level of rare, but my main condition is diagnosed as “connective tissue disease - unspecified”. I’ve only ever met one other person with this diagnosis.

Making your own starter isn’t hard! You just need flour, water, and a food scale. (I started with the cheap scale from Walmart.) Feed your starter equal parts flour and water for about four days. Easiest amount is 113g. Keep it at room temperature so it can start fermenting. Once it’s bubbly, you can maintain it by keeping it in the fridge and feeding it once a week. I usually remove about half when I feed it and keep the discard for waffles.

Here’s an article that goes into more depth: https://www.thekitchn.com/sourdough-beginners-guide-23004397

I’m honestly mad I could identify the artist from the thumbnail alone.

I’m transmasc, but I came out as enby at my previous job (a call center). This involved a new name and they/them pronouns. I felt safe doing it after conversations with the department head about trans stuff. I’d definitely try to get a vibe on the general company culture towards trans people before coming out. I’d also definitely try to get a pulse on how supportive your boss will be if there are any issues, especially if you’re in a customer facing role.

Pros: all of my coworkers were chill with it, or if they had problems with it they kept it outside of work. I did have to spend a while correcting people on my name/pronouns, but that just comes with the territory. I think it took about two weeks to a month for the name/pronouns situation to settle.

Cons: The job I worked was the type where we had “frequent flyer” customers we’d support. No one was directly transphobic to my face. But a few of these customers would ask to speak to Deadname instead of my actual name… months after the switch. They never did this to my face. They always somehow managed to remember my name when talking to me. But when they got any of my coworkers on the line, they magically only remembered my deadname. The co-workers on my team were fantastic about forcing the customers to actually use my name. I talked to my boss about this, but unfortunately there really wasn’t much we could do besides correcting them. The last incident of this was about six months after the name change. Not a problem I have anymore because I got laid off in the tech layoffs lmao.

I had this issue earlier but it seems to be working for me now.

He is to me.
