I don’t see user icons on Voyager ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They probably had you hold your fingers up to a small scanner if you turned 18 in the past 20ish years, not ink and paper fingerprinted you.

This isn’t feminism, this is an attempt at making gender roles cute and palatable. A feminist would likely tell any woman who feels she’s responsible for her husband like she is for a child to get a divorce, because that’s not an equal partnership.

Wait, the hats say 45-47? That would mean 45 through 47, inclusive of 46. Did they think an ampersand looked too feminine or something?

My knowledge is more related to the meat side of things than the egg side honestly, but here’s a citation: 70 percent of chicken farmers with no other job live below the poverty line. That’s not people who work on a chicken farm (although they’re certainly not paid well either), that’s the people who own it.

These farms may technically be ‘small scale’ in that they aren’t owned by a giant corporation, but they often contain multiple times as many chickens as their European counterparts, in more crowded conditions, which is part of why disease spreads so fast.

For meat, the reason the farmers are in this mess is because separate companies buy and process the chicken, and they won’t buy from you if you don’t follow their arbitrary and frequently changing guidelines. They also don’t pay a given amount per pound, they pay you depending on the yields other chicken farmers got on their farms. And the farmers don’t have another place to sell their chickens, it’s these companies or nothing, as 20 companies control basically the entire US market.

They sell bags of TVP here in the US for not that much if you buy it in the Hispanic section of the grocery store. I’m a little surprised to hear that’s not available in (assuming based on your instance) Germany.

On the off chance this is a genuine question, Trump is depicted as subservient to Putin and bad for the US in this image. While both of those things can be true, the way this was conveyed visually was with gay oral sex. Portraying politicians you don’t like engaged in gay sex is only a snappy own if you accept the right wing position that gay sex is shameful and exploitative. You don’t have to do that to criticize them.

Very nice! I like the texture on his jacket, it’s very houndstoothy.

What software are you using to digitize the art for the machine? I’ve been curious about using my library’s machine as well, but I’m not really sure which software is worth spending time learning.

Except for the crab, I don’t think any of those are capable of even hurting a person. If a mantis pinches you it’s not that bad, I’d definitely rather have that than a bee sting.

For such a long article it’s really disappointing they didn’t at all go into how chicken farmers themselves are ratfucked by contracts with processing plants and live below the poverty line if they don’t have a second job.

The tires are the one thing I’d expect to not become ruined from getting wet, but I previously thought that about vehicles in general.

Losing a home in a wildfire is devastating and navigating the insurance process can feel overwhelming. In this workshop, the Financial Planning Association of Los Angeles will help homeowners and renters affected by the Palisades and Eaton Fires better understand their insurance policies, rights, and options for recovery. The workshop will also discuss steps to document losses and file a claim, what to do if you are denied coverage or underpaid, and additional financial and legal resources for fire-affected families.

The stream starts at 12 pm PST.

My first attempt doesn’t look as nice, since I was trying to sew down the last loops of the warp one at a time instead of taking them all off the hooks at once and then sewing them down.

I think this one turned out alright, though! I just used some variegated craft thread that looked about the same size as pearl thread, but was cheaper and came in a variety pack.

Trans Rights are under assault all across the United States as the new administration continues a brutal project of oppression, exclusion, and denial of care to people everywhere.

Distribute Aid is developing a network of supply chains, medical aid, distribution partners and kit development across 11 states that aims to provide direct care and medical support to thousands of trans people, with the goal of scaling up to cover the rest of the country during 2025.

100% of the proceeds of this bundle go directly toward Distribute Aid's efforts to supply kits of 1 year's necessary medical equipment into the hands of trans people in needs for free.

Each kit comes with a sharps container and enough syringes, needles, bandages, and alcohol wipes to last a year. For people living in states where it’s difficult to access syringes and needles, this will help reduce needle reusing and sharing.

If you aren’t interested in the games and prefer to donate to the campaign directly, you can do that here.
