If I wear the NANA ring I bought for nine dollars at Kumoricon in 2006 am I technically wearing knockoff Vivienne Westwood?

My car has a check engine light on. obd2 scanner shows it needs a spark plug &/or ignition coil replaced, costing ~$100-$200 each. I'm trying to raise $200.
I'm a disabled, unemployed person in tx. Sharing goes a long way and any amount helps! 💜

REI is closing unionized stores. So many companies that like to pretend to be progressive remain still virulently anti-union at their core. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/08/b...

REI Co-Op’s Boston location is set to close next year - The Boston Globe

REI said it will close three locations on the East Coast, including a store in Boston, as it launches a new strategic plan.

Oh, yeah, one time I expressed disappointment in someone's national sausage being filled with half wheat and half minced chicken or minced pork. Then they gave me a regional variety that was made from I think... buckhwheat and pork blood and I gobbled that down.

God, buckwheat is so good.

never going to forget nor forgive that he posted once on his Reddit asking for feedback on his theories and Ally (why wrote much of transfemscience.org, and a lot of Wikipedia pages) replied with an extensive and well referenced writeup, and he threatened to sue her unless she took it down.

I'm always surprised how many vegans in Canada don't put kasha in their pierogi. I thought that was a thing everyone knows about.

"But my grandmother has a really good recipe..."

So does everyone's grandmother. I am not talking your grandmother or my grandmother or someone else's grandmother.

I am strictly talking about the ones you can buy in the groceries or from restaurants.

The first trans people I was ever aware of were black and Latine people IRL when I was a kid. The whole trans people is a white people thing seems... Very online tbh. Or maybe it's on some other axis, idk. It's not life in a city, that's for sure

I think people in #blacksky think that Black trans women are white people. If you’re not a Black trans femme, you maybe wouldn’t recognize the tells, but they can never talk with us without first disavowing our Blackness. How the fuck is that pro-Black. How the fuck is that good for our people???

He just kinda brushed me off, which indicated to me that there was a very ill wind blowing through blacksky. But yes, normal Blacksky has a major transphobia issue. I have a sick feeling that people are going to show their ass in a major way by _endorsing it_.

lol, our mass-produced pierogi are not even as good as Poland's.

When I went over there, my travelling companion was confused why I was mad about how bad the pierogi are in North America.

it's the thought that counts

a single-page comic by Spindle of the characters Tether, Ev, and Enoch.
- The first panel on the top left: Evelyne is on the left, leaning on Enoch and guiding him with something on the laptop, saying "Kinda like so". Tether enters on the right, smiling, holding a plate of cookies.

The second panel on the top right: Same positions as before. Tether places the cookie plate on the table, to which Enoch replies with "Thanks honey."

- Third panel on the bottom left: Same positions, but Tether is leaving now to the right after having placed the plate.

- Fourth and final panel on the bottom right: Tether is no longer in the shot, Ev says to Enoch "Can you even eat?" to which he replies "no but it's still really sweet." (For context, Enoch is nearly entirely cybernetics with the exception of his brain and spine, food isn't really something he eats anymore. Tether kinda be 'tupid sometiems and since she's new in the relationship with him, she's trying her best kek)

so the devs are going all in defending Jesse Singal and making this platform a safe space for TERFs

I know posters generally dislike Mastodon & understand why, but the influx of bksy shitposters this week has really improved the vibe + the Phanpy app also does wonders making it poster friendly
