  • Creative Wednesday... how have you been creative recently?

    Jump

  • I made this fairy bag (before I added a leather shoulder strap.)

  • Sex work is real work and WomensStuff supports you

    Jump

  • I have a hell of a lot more respect for a sex worker who brings joy than the people who cold call me with a survey during supper. It's a damn shame that only one of those is considered a "real job."

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • I'm in my 30's and watched this while zonked with covid. Fuck, best sick week ever. I cried like eight times.

    Shout out to Hooty, wish you were my house demon.

  • Russia redefines ‘drug propaganda’ and enforces ‘traditional values’ as new wave of laws come into effect

    Jump

  • Going through the list, the laws don't seem all that outlandish, and some are beneficial. The drug image laws aren't that bad considering there are allowances for art and literature.

    I can even understand wanting to preserve the Russian language, many cultures do the same thing.

  • Many Indigenous Mothers Must Travel Hundreds of Kilometres to Give Birth. Meet the Midwives Changing That

    Jump

  • Great article. Canada, and north ameria in general, are behind of birth culture, putting more stress on mothers and separating them from communities, and it's so much worse for indigenous people.

    I know, but am continually appalled when I'm reminded just how recent forced sterilization has taken place in my country.

  • Meme criticising the US two-party system deleted from lemmy.world; now I'm not allowed to post political posts at all

    Jump

  • The person who comes along with their disruptive opinions should be moderated, not people who simply exist. Being a woman or having chosen pronouns isn't dramatic.

    If someone is uncomfortable with a topic they can simply disengage and start their own thread on their chosen subject.

    It's either accept that no one agrees on what's considered political, or have firm rules about subjects that can and can't be discussed.

  • Beautiful! What will you grow there?

  • Meme criticising the US two-party system deleted from lemmy.world; now I'm not allowed to post political posts at all

    Jump

  • Not saying it hasn't been done, I'm saying it's hard to do well. I've seen "women's issues" and "pronouns" included under "politics," in old-school and new forums, which is why I'm hesitant to agree with no-politics rules.

  • Would you rather read minds or be invisible?

    Jump

  • Invisible! It's my dream to haunt my friends and it's their dream to be haunted by me. This way I don't have to die first.

  • How would you style this?

    Jump

  • Ripped jeans, leather lace-up boots, a hoodie with cat ears on the hood and a messenger bag full of shenanigans.

  • How would you style this?

    Jump

  • Love the biker gardener style.

  • Meme criticising the US two-party system deleted from lemmy.world; now I'm not allowed to post political posts at all

    Jump

  • The problem with banning politics is determining what's considered political. Not long ago divorce, adoption, abortion, nazis, and women wearing pants were hot topics. Now it's immigration, abortion and nazis again, and queer folks wearing skirts.

    I'd rather endure some of that doom and gloom through a shipost than the rapid onslaught of panic-inducing headlines.

  • Is it bad to have a male best friend when you’re in a relationship?

    Jump

  • I'm pansexual with friends of all genders. I would be delighted if they were all attracted to me, too.

    At the same time I'd be pretty pissed off if anyone tried to reduce my close friendships to someone "just waiting their turn" like I'm a damn ride at a faire.

  • No problem.

  • They might be using an app. Some of them show a more detailed modlog.

  • Europe's far right unites around killing of French activist

  • Again, no one *here is saying he was.

  • I love these colours and the composition. It took me a moment to see the little dude under the tree. Delightful.

    Jump

  • How dare you shitpost in the shitposting community. Your post is exactly the kind of thing I like to see there.

    I agree, the mod probably didn't like the political message.
