I cannot believe we're wasting taxpayer dollars on a ballistic hoagie attack.

Who asked for this? (startrek.website)

Who the fuck would listen to a USPS podcast??

Yes, short for doggo.

Has anyone tried the On The Rocks flanker for Angels' Share? I love both the original Angels' Share and the Paradis flanker, so I'm intrigued by On The Rocks. If you've tried it, is it well balanced, or is it overly zesty? I like Paradis so much because it brings some sweetness into the mix which I think gives a nice counterbalance. But On The Rocks has citrus notes which will probably do the opposite. If you've tried it let me know your thoughts!

Since the latest update, I've noticed that images aren't displaying properly in two ways:

  1. The thumbnails no longer display within the post body, I now have to click on them to view them
  2. Images in comments are cut off rather than sizing to fit the screen

The screenshot below demonstrates both issues.

Zoologist? (startrek.website)

I've just learned about Zoologist Perfumes and I'm intrigued. Some of the scents sound really interesting but it's like 9 bucks per sample. Have you tried them before, and what's your opinion? I'd welcome any recommendations you can give!

A month or so ago, I was on a quest for a great peach fragrance, and ended up stumbling on 1969 by Histoires de Parfums, which isn't a simple peach fragrance, but does have peach notes. It sounded amazing and so on a whim I blind bought it (got the 0.5mL which is $50). I'm so happy I did! It's complex and sexy. I'm not the most sophisticated when it comes to describing fragrances - it's hard for me to pick out specific notes sometimes - but I'd describe this as starting out spicy/musky and mellowing to a creamy, very alluring spiced sweetness in the drydown. It's sensuous, long-wearing, and I seriously can't get enough!

The description is:

Top notes: fruits of the sun, peach

Heart notes: rose, white flowers, cardamom, clove

Base notes: patchouli, chocolate, coffee, musk

Also the packaging is gorgeous:

I'm going to check out some of their other fragrances!

I got my first pull-up! (startrek.website)

I don't know where else to share this, but I'm so proud of myself so I've gotta post it somewhere. I've finally got my first unassisted pull-up! It wasn't a goal I was working super hard toward, but I've noticed a lot of new muscle definition in my back, probably because I do a lot of rows, especially bird-dog rows and renegade rows. So I tried a pull-up and I was able to do one pretty easily! Not bad for a middle-aged lady! Now I've got a goal to do three. :)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 and I just got the new OneUI update. Now when I watch media in Jerboa there's an annoying scrolling notification that appears:

How do I get rid of this?

Also how do I get rid of whatever this is in my edge tray?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I figured out the first one, search settings for the Now Bar and disable whatever you don't want to see

I love that this map still has the Gulf of Mexico.

I hate that this will be done to our national forests. They're a natural treasure and should be protected for so many reasons.

Hey friends. I've recently realized that what I thought were freckles is actually melasma, and my dermatologist has prescribed me tretinoin for it. I have very pale skin, generally normal in the winter and a little oilier in the T-zone during the summer, but it can dry out really badly with things like AHA. From what I've heard, tret is pretty drying. My dermatologist recommended that I start with applying it only two nights a week, and using a pea-sized amount mixed into my moisturizer. I use the Tatcha Water Cream moisturizer, which is pretty light and has been great for me, but with tret I'm wondering if I'll need a heavier moisturizer. I'm also worried that my usual double-cleansing will worsen the dryness from tret. I double-cleanse with an oil balm to remove my mineral sunblock, then with the Tatcha Rice Wash to get rid of the sunblock & oil balm residue. But I'm thinking the rice wash might be irritating because it's got a (mild) physical exfoliant, so maybe I need to find something else for my second cleanse?

Does anyone have any experiences to share about dryness on tret, or just starting tret in general? Anything I should be aware of? I'm weirdly nervous about it!

Common and disgusting, but unfortunately not always a joke. You probably know this but for the benefit of others who may not be aware, the Husband Stitch is a real thing that used to be pretty commonly done regardless of what the woman wanted and often without her foreknowledge or consent. It's an extra stitch or two placed when sewing a woman back up after a vaginal tear or episiotomy during labor. The purpose is to make the woman "tighter" so her husband can still enjoy having sex with her even though she's given birth, which is staggeringly misogynistic and cruel. And it usually results in really painful sex for the woman because her vaginal opening is artificially small plus now it has inflexible scar tissue. It's a horrific thing to do to a woman, especially after giving birth.

For a simple example: my mother is Catholic and until Trump came along, a lifelong single-issue Republican voter who always said she would be a Democrat if it weren't for abortion. She attends church in an extremely progressive, famously LGBTQ-friendly town.

There's a transwoman who attends her church (let's call her Rita). This lady is probably in her mid-50s to mid-60s and has been a fixture at the church for at least 5 years. My mom has been in choir and bible study groups with her for years now. She still just can't see Rita as a woman. Treats her politely but behind her back refuses to call her "she" and says she's a "man in a dress".

She's really offended that Rita uses the ladies' room. I've asked her why and she can't articulate it, she just feels like it's an invasion of her privacy, because men don't belong in the ladies' room. And when I point out that Rita isn't a man, she just rolls her eyes. I've asked her if she's worried that Rita is in there for predatory purposes and she admits that she doesn't think Rita intends any harm. I've asked her how she'd feel if she were forced to use the men's room and she says "but that's different!"

My mom prides herself in being a moral person, and still can't manage to get past her bigotry to see Rita as a woman. There are just too many mental blockades against it. But since she thinks she's so highly moral, she thinks she must be correct in this situation. It excuses her from finding empathy and bettering her attitude toward trans folks.

My longwinded point is that when people who consider themselves highly moral are bigoted, there's almost zero chance of getting through to them. And I think a lot of the people who are bigoted against trans folks feel that morality is on their side and being trans is morally deviant, so they think they're justified in their prejudice.

I haaaate Teams. Worst thing ever to happen to workplace productivity. And (unless this has been fixed since I retired) chat history isn't persistent past 6 months so you lose your proof of what was discussed, unlike email.

As an actual middle-aged woman who can't even name one Taylor Swift song, give me a giant fucking break. She's rich, famous, appears to have a good head on her shoulders (from what I hear at least), and makes music people really love. This sexist troglodyte is just butthurt that she dares to exist and be successful without his permission, plus he probably wants to bang her. He can fuck right off.
