I’m too pale AF to have a loving relationship with the sun. I’ve been burned too many times. I always use protection, but last weekend the sunscreen failed me :(
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.

They have butter for their hot cakes. Sounds like it was adding butter packets to the order.
That’s quite fair. People don’t tend to react well to becoming suddenly not-high. I don’t even react well to becoming suddenly not-asleep.
The Rhode Island Department of Health was giving away free Narcan at Providence Pride this weekend, so I picked some up. I’ll keep it on hand in just in case someone needs it. Go fuck yourself :)
Everyone else: Narcan’s readily available in states and there’s very little risk to administering it. It’s a spray up the nose.
(eta: context. My brother overdosed and you pretty much wished that others experience the same pain.)
My grandma watched Fox News and wasn’t a moron. To be fair, she was also wicked deep into her dementia.
Or set off the fire alarm by vaping in the bathroom. I hated when teen boys did that. It was always belligerent teen boys.
Well, it’s more public than your own home and everyone there consented to being around potential strangers having sex. Consent is sexy!
Yes, but my local dungeon closed during the pandemic so I don’t know where to point folks anymore. I’d check on FetLife if I were you. There’s also the Queer Liberation Library if you’re in America and looking for “objectionable” reading material online.
And I’ve never been hip with the drug scene, as I imagine the young’uns say.
As a former public librarian and current person who walks their dog, I’m of two minds.
I’ve seen less drug use and public sex at local public libraries than at interstate rest areas and on hiking trails.
If you’re going to overdose, I’d rather you do it in public where you can get help. If you’re going to engage in public sex please don’t do it around people that aren’t into that. There are private clubs for that.
MS-DOS 5 or 6. I guess technically I used whatever Apple IIes had, first, but really I just loaded games from disk.
Even freshwater tropical fish can be a PITA.
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.
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).
Are you suggesting that
Thanks for the clarification. It’s hard to tell these days and I don’t always have the spoons/mental bandwidth for it.
By “they elected Hamas” you mean maybe 15% of the current population? That’s a broad brush you’re wielding.
(Based on 70% of the population of Gaza being under 30 years old, meaning they’d have been 13 or under in 2006, when the last election was held. And Hamas got ~45% of the popular vote in the 2006 election.)
The last elections in Gaza were held in 2006. 70% of people in Gaza are 30 or younger, meaning they would have been 13 or younger during that election. I don’t believe the 2006 election can be held up as proof that the current population of Gaza asked for this government.
And sometimes those recommendations get implemented in awful ways in public buildings. And that’s why my office will be hot and humid when I get to work on Monday–the A/C gets turned off over the weekend and it takes forever to catch up on Monday. Never mind that I work in a library and books do not deal well with changing temperature and (especially) high humidity.
