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.
Good calls, thanks.
My personal threat assessment for the protest I'm going to is "bring snacks, electrolyte freeze pops, water, ice packs, ear plugs, first aid kit, and saline solution".
The only thing listed that wouldn't take to, say, a summer pride event is the saline solution.
When someone says "I think the only bad thing about the Holocaust was that Germany did it" they need to do a fair amount of work to clarify that they do not mean that literally. Otherwise, I will be inclined to take them at their word.
If that were the case I'd hope they would try to be clearer.
The "@mhague@lemmy.world is a giant asshole" reading is much, much easier than the "@mhague@lemmy.world thinks the world sucks" reading, for me at least. The second reading takes some mental gymnastics for me.
Hoping you're right, but not convinced. Also giving a lot of side-eye.
We have flushable dog poo bags and they're awesome. We've tested them and they dissolve after less than an hour in the toilet (maybe much sooner, but I got distracted and didn't time it).
