It's happened to me before, but I would just pluck the feathers. Can't waste meat like that. As annoying as it might be to hear, do remember those chickens were alive before.
Putting aside the bitter feelings this makes me feel, this is horrible news. From my experience in my own country, voting as a minority & leftist person feels like fighting the waves these last years... I just keep thinking about when things will take a similar turn to Italy's in other countries too, because it seems like only a matter of time.
I was wondering the exact same thing a few days ago and spent some amount of time googling it.
There's already such a project actually, called Swanye. There seems to be a single person working on it, so if anyone has time to help I'm sure it will be appreciated
Boiled water leaves a residue on the pot, so I always end up halfheartedly washing it
Seeing as we just voted in three fascist parties to our parliament, I highly doubt legalisation will happen any time soon. And even if it does, I am sad to say its only purpose will be to throw ash in our eyes so we ignore the much deeper systemic issues in the country, which leave the population starving despite record profits from tourism. Hard to feel any joy about news like this, even though it'd mean I could get married to my partner in our motherland instead of another country.
Interesting way to circumvent the issue. I wonder why the couples who register for the card need to attend a seminar though, it's a bit strange. What kind of seminar will it be? If it's just about how to nurse your partner, do straight couples also have to do something similar?
The podcast If Books Could Kill has a pretty good breakdown of all the bullshit in this book too
I think my first hunch was when I watched V for Vendetta at age 12 and the sub-story about the lesbian couple really struck a cord in me. At that point I didn't think that I was like them, but at the same time their harsh fate made me really afraid something similar was gonna happen to me. The experience was pretty confusing, and I eventually pushed it out of my mind.
Then I started 7th grade, and I became more confused because my friends were talking about cute guys and I did not get what the fuss was about. The final realisation came when I started 8th grade, so around when I was 14, because I developed a massive crush on my best friend at the time. Nothing came of it, but after that I knew I was definitely attracted to girls and not guys.
Around 16 I started realising my gender identity wasn't cis either, but I only cleared up that conundrum last year at 25. After many conversations with my partner, I came to accept that I'm agender.
It's all been quite the journey and I think I may still change along the way.
Yeah... The whole deal with states banning gender affirming care is the perfect breeding ground for scammers. We all need to keep an eye out
Perhaps you've heard of them already, but here are a few I've enjoyed over the past couple of years:
My town's parade is in July, so my partner and me might make the trip to one of the nearby cities that have their parade in June. I guess we'll be watching any queer shows and movies that have escaped us so far too. Other than that I'm not really in a festive mood this year... Too stressed with other stuff.
Music to my ears. Can't believe how badly creatives are paid in the US, especially given how important they are for the country's soft power.
