I mentioned it, but didn’t try to recommend it to my forty something sisters who mostly use Facebook, because I figured it was a lost cause (and we’re small enough that I’d be very identifiable from my comments), but try were both very interested in it. Unfortunately, I lost them trying to explain it.
It doesn’t bother me on a peach 🤷
It’s been a couple days, but I think we’re actually hitting one of these points now. In a hundred years, someone might ask why there weren’t any female astronauts or why women didn’t take part in NASA. I just hope we have enough backups for the information that they were involved and vital to the program to get out there.
There are examples of women’s contributions to science, philosophy, government, and arts throughout history (Hypatia, Boudicca, Cleopatra, Hildegard von Bingen, Iaia, Queen of Sheba Makeda, Wu Zeitan, Queen Victoria, etc.). Most of those women were either religiously celibate or widowed young, which allowed them to “respectably” act as individuals. Had they been married to men who lived longer, I think we probably wouldn’t know their stories. My suspicion is that (the mostly male) historians simply overlooked women at best, and actively suppressed their roles in history or attributed their work to their husbands at worst.
The major world religions have played a huge role in our understanding of the world, given that most scholars whose work we still have access to were in some way affiliated with Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Platonism or Zoroastrianism. Every single one of those religions was, at least at one point, dominated by a patriarchal cultural mindset (though interestingly, most of them started out relatively egalitarian).
Note to self, don’t marry.
I mean, you’re not wrong, but that carries a different risk. (sorry about the source, but it’s relatively comprehensive)
You ever notice how few slaves throughout history were inventors? It’s similar: when your ideas are considered someone else’s intellectual property, you don’t get credit in history books. When you’re not allowed an education, it’s nearly impossible to take part in the philosophical zeitgeist. When your most productive years are spent in a continuous cycle of pregnancy, childbirth, and recovery, your creative potential is diminished.
Tbh, it wasn’t even moving a lot of things (though I did bring my cat), just that unexpected things came up.
Opening a local bank account took, I shit you not, eleven weeks. From when I made the first appointment to when I got my visa, it took almost eight months, during which time my prospective job fell through (reasonably). My first landlord is still holding on to my security deposit and nearly evicted me with no notice (because of said cat, whose presence I negotiated before moving in) it’s not legal to do that at all here, but they were betting that a foreigner wouldn’t know the laws.
I was in a fortunate position and I had a lot of savings, but it was still really expensive to be able to be adaptable
Blending it will give you something that’s roughly the texture of a milkshake. If you cook it for a long time, you can get some liquid out to make things like egg bites, but I prefer to either use it as the basis for sauces or puddings or to strain it and break it up manually to sautee it in a tofu scramble.
An emergency fund is generally ~6-12 months of expenses. I recently migrated from the USA to Germany, which cost me about 30 months worth of expenses, all told. It could be done more cheaply, but there’s also a huge element of luck, so it would not be smart to assume that it will cost much less than 24 months worth of expenses.
This is not an answer to your question, but an adjacent thought.
Something we could do now that would have been helpful for the Rosetta Stone is including pictorial representations of the position of the mouth* while pronouncing the words. It’s not important for the meaning, but how cool would it be to know how ancient languages were pronounced? We’re not even totally certain how Latin was pronounced, and that’s both relatively recent and very well represented in the form of Romance languages.
*I began learning German as an adult native speaker of English and this was by far the most helpful thing for my pronunciation. I regularly stealth people on being a non native speaker, so I’d say it works.
I use silken tofu, corn starch (bird’s custard powder) and oat milk as the basis for bread pudding. I assume it would also work for French toast.
Part of it is definitely also that most people in the US don’t fully understand how the American empire works, nor do they want to. We’ve been committing a genocide against Latin Americans on our soil for at least a decade (holding them in prison without the right of habeas corpus because of suspicion of illegal immigration [not always proven], separating children from parents, and sterilizing women without informing them/obtaining their consent), and fucking their governments up abroad since at least teddy Roosevelt. Add Guantanamo Bay and our behavior in Africa and Central Asia (predatory loans and stipulated aid, mostly) and the Middle East, and we’re straight up ruining the world.
It’d be easier to pass a larger egg if it’s soft, even if it’s accompanied by a bunch of fluid.
Everyone with parental rights must consent to an adoption, so it’s not the same thing. Parental rights are either terminated or transferred (generally when both parents die at the same time) upon death, so people who are single parents due to the death of the other parent would be the only ones with parental rights. Otherwise the parental rights of the non participating parent have already been severed (though most of the time, they do still have some rights and maintain a financial responsibility, they’re just not doing the actual parenting, meaning they would also need to consent to put the child up for adoption).
Weird egg porn is already a thing, but at least now it’s not (quasi) incestuous.
When both parents do it, it’s putting them up for adoption. I think they’re talking about when only one does it.
Plus, it’s technically vegan (imo, obviously some people would disagree), so baking would be much easier for me.
Wait, someone knew the admin the whole time? I thought they went missing, but I also didn’t pay super close attention. I hope all is well with them.
