Not very. There are a lot more “this could turn into a pandemic” incidents that don’t turn into pandemics than those that do.

even though it’s rare in my location…Is there real support for those couples?

It’s kinda lame how few black folks there are in the pnw generally. I support the hell outta y’all; do whatever makes you happy.

I don’t mind people moving content from Reddit to the threadiverse. I do mind posting titles that claim authorship of a post when you are reposting someone else’s content. I am mildly opposed to including links to the original reddit post when reposting from reddit, but I wouldn’t ask a mod to enforce that preference cuz you’ve got stuff to do. Just my two cents; it’s whatever the community wants and you’re willing to do.

Everywhere I go, I see her face:

I split up my communities pretty fine-grained: !reign_fc@lemmy.world for my club, !nwsl@lemmy.world for my league, !ussoccer@lemmy.world for my international side, etc. At the time, we thought the glorious revolution was just days away, and we’d have a gajillion users and we needed to be ready. In hindsight, I regret this decision and wish I had just created a single overarching woso community for everything — like !womenshockey@reddthat.com. There just aren’t a lot of users, and having a fewer, more broadly focused communities allow for larger user bases that interact with each other more often. So, if it were me, I’d post to c/music and try my best to feel comfortable taking up space.

You can, to a certain extent. Consider:

I woke up late, again. Washed my face. Pulled on a threadbare pair of socks — suppose it’s time to do some mending; toe is visible. Poured a cup of coffee, sour from standing in the urn all day and night, though it didn’t bother, really. Grabbed a bagel from the basket — mold. Guess it’s time to hit the bakery. Or the grocery, possibly, but…

edit: if you want to see a more accomplished author than I resist the first person pronoun, I would recommend the novel The Unnameable by Samuel Beckett.

Hannah works as a third-grade teacher and refuses to give 100% on any assignment to any of her students because “only Jesus was perfect.”

Everyone is defederated from somewhere. There’s an entire dark fedi that basically everyone has defederated from.

They’re doing it again

I think that’s as far as my knowledge extends, unfortunately.

I’m pretty sure no-one is assigned enby at birth.

If you don’t care enough to write the story, why should I care enough to critique or edit it for you?

Basically. The uranium isn’t to make the explosion larger, the explosion is to disperse the radioactive material over a large area quickly. The fear is you’d make, like, metro Boston uninhabitable for a generation and give a million people cancer.

Okay, so Campbell’s owns a bunch of brands: Campbell’s, Prego, Swanson, Pace, Snyder’s, and Pepperidge Farms. Campbell’s could have used any brand to launch this product, so my biggest question is: why not under the Pepperidge Farms brand? Pepperidge Farms remembers would have been the perfect ad campaign for this launch.

I know you meant this comment as a portent of ill tidings, but “out in 2028” and “the media wasn’t covering him” just sounds so relaxing, I’m having a hard time getting worked up over it.

I mean the comment says pretty clearly it doesn’t make any sense, so I’m not really sure why you’re confused it doesn’t make sense.

I knew a Frank who went to France once — not sure if that counts.

French? The lingua franca? That doesn’t make any sense

I’ve never been more sorely tempted to post an old man fedi rant that you should get off youtube and onto peertube in my life.

I get my access to most of my news through my local library. My library card comes with access to NYT, WaPo, and the Seattle Times, amongst others. I pay my taxes, my library pays a deal with the news site, and everyone’s happy. Seems like a good setup to me.
