Protoyiff has been added to the lexicon. Thank yooooo verymuch.

It’s the 10th of Stan Rawlinson’s 10 Pet Commandments:

-Stay with me on the ultimate difficult journey. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence”. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, regardless of what you do I will always love you.

What a strange, cruel policy from the vet. When I had to put my cat down, my vet had me hold her in my arms while she administered the shot, and then she left the room so it could be just me and my cat til the end. Since I decided to take her body home to bury on my parents’ property, my vet recommended that I show her to my remaining cat so that we could mourn together. She said he would understand what death meant if he got to see her, but he would be distressed more if she just disappeared.

What a hideous policy for everyone involved, shame on this vet/shelter for so many reasons.

Sure, I read your back and forth earlier this morning with that other person, and I agree that if there is even a little room for semantic loopholes, assholes will use it, so it’s better to just be annoyingly specific. At this point in our country’s lifetime, lawmakers should know this, and the crown act should have been so beurocratically definitive of all aspects of hair. But also school officials should be worried about teaching all kids, not this dumb bullshit. :(

xx hope your day is nice and you’re having a good hair day

I’m a white girl. My hairstyle is “long”. It’s my entire personality.

What they are doing to this young man is grotesque, but I’m not at all surprised the superintendent is being so petty. He’s nothing more than an overgrown racist high school bully.

I used to babysit a little girl who, if she saw someone in a skirt or dress, would run up to them and say, “Hey! Hey! Um. Does your dress spin?” And of course, even strangers knew the only correct response was to perform the most elaborate twirl and make that dress spin. Now, over a decade later, when I’m shopping for dresses, I always give them a test spin to make sure they’re wooshy enough.

Thank you for reminding me of that memory this morning, it sparked joy :)

I have similar thoughts for a solution- just don’t have any sex or gender indicators on ID cards. Have a whole separate medical card that isn’t for identification. You keep it in your wallet in case you’re ever in an emergency, and doctors will use it to know if they should treat you like an xx or an xy or something else if it so applies. It could have a list on the back where you write any current medications, so a Dr knows what interactions your body might have to any treatments. This would be useful if, for example, you’re a female presenting biologically xy Trans person who shows up unconscious in an ambulance. Then the doctor can look at that person’s card and say “I will give this person the medical care that an XY person needs” vs saying “this person’s ID card says male but they look female, should the treatment be for a man or a woman?”

As a non medical professional I’m sure I am oversimplifying the ordeal and glossing over important points, but it’s just something I’ve thought a lot.

Quack

I mean you’re not far off, -280 plus -145, plus -37 overdraft fee for each of those automatic withdraws that came out before the check deposits in a few hours, even tho they’ll all be dated 8/25 on my bank statement. The 280 said “pending” since before midnight, went negative at 12 on the dot, the 145 came out at 3am, and the checks don’t go in til 9 :')

Same, right now I’m -$300, ask again in 12 hrs when two paychecks hit the joint bank acct, I might be able to make the car payment AND the car repair payment, yippee.

I started using reddit in 2011, I’m not a power user or major contributor by any means. But I’m a lonely person who got joy out of my small niche communities, and I fear those are the spaces that will take the longest to reappear on lemmy, especially because I have no interest in modding or starting any of them myself. I haven’t actually subscribed to any communities on lemmy yet, I’m waiting for the sync app to be ready so things will be more like I’m used to using (aka easier) and then I’ll log into old reddit on my computer, write down all the subreddits I’m subscribed to, and begin to see which ones exist on the different lemmy instances and start to make this place feel more like my lil internet home. I liked tithe reddit experience more when I first started using it, and I’m excited for lemmy to kind of have that feeling again, since it’s new and small still.

It’s a charcuterie board, not a cutting board, its for parties, the illustrations are telling you what kinds of snacks to put out. What a cool idea for a lap desk, it’s so pretty and unique.
