It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by REM

I learned this one for karaoke and it’s a beast of a song. Most people just know the chorus!

Democrats are a right-wing party.

Oh yeah, so much better when women and minorities were excluded and felt uncomfortable. At least the men were having fun and then women ruined it, yeah?

Color me impressed! My dad would make stuff from wood here and there. Patience is definitely needed haha. I can almost hear him muttering under his breath at a snag in his work flow even now :)

Oh I dabble in stuff - baking and cooking, playing violin, photography. I photographed weddings for a little over a decade. That’s probably my favorite craft that I’ve honed through the years.

Wood-working is one of those hobbies that impresses me thoroughly to see others do. That’s really cool that you build stuff like that! I bet they look so much nicer than something from Ikea or whatever lol

Oh hell yeah, that’s cool.

I got this recently, too - it’s SO much fun! The nostalgia hits so hard!

Ahhhh I love it!! The frog lapel pin is very cute - what’s on the other lapel? I can’t quite make it out.

I hope you have so much fun clothes shopping! It’s really awesome that you’ve found your motivation to do things again :)

Ohh what have you built before? Like furniture?

I’ve been trying to perfect making a Boston Cream Pie. Took a break recently after the entire household was sick of eating pastry cream with vanilla cake trifles after one too many failed attempts. Can’t quite get the pastry cream thick enough to stand on its own yet. But it’s been fun trying!

My kid and I have been working on Pokopia together as well! I love passing the sticks back and forth as we work through the storyline.

The original demographic was male, 20-40, geek. Conversations were pretty mild, very respectful.

Only if you were also a 20-40 yr old man.

I really like popping into Ask Lemmy, there’s always interesting discussions happening :)

This place isn’t that big haha

Yeah I definitely get some…interesting DMs and comments aimed at me. Being an outspoken woman will ruffle some feathers haha

I’m the local feminist killjoy around here lol

The Mississippi Free Press does outstanding work. Thanks for recommending them!

Also resources for how to get away from abusive spouses or even abusive communities.

This is a great suggestion.

I love this so much! Thank you!!

RAINN is great for resources! I pull their stats often and there’s great resources there.

I’d love to see discussions about awareness and reduction. There’s quite a few deeply caring and intelligent Lemmings who would treat such discussions with respect.

You will need to moderate very closely. There’s a lot of users here who victim blame and push that false reporting is more damaging than actually being raped. It is imperative that those views aren’t tolerated if victims are going to feel safe sharing their stories.

Do you feel better when you cut others down and make them feel stupid for how they live their lives?

Yeah, poor people choose to be poor. They love it. /s
