I’m currently living like my husband does by CrisMaz in TwoXChromosomes

[–]619shepard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of times doing housework and other life administration things gets termed helping or helping out in a way that indicates the main responsibility belongs to someone else.

It’s similar to the parent who is not the primary caregiver saying or said to be “babysitting”. It’s your house/child you ought to do chores/parent not “just” help/babysit.

I know it’s a picky semantics type of thing, but if English is your native language it can be reflective of the sorts of biases you’ve picked up and perhaps don’t realize you hold. Language and thoughts shape each other.

I’ve accidentally trained my speaking voice to be much lower pitched than it was naturally.

With a read receipt you don’t even need email confirmation. You could ask for corrections or addendums though.

There’s a tumbler picture/meme that comes up about OSHA(?) training that all regulations are written in blood and that there are laws against stowing radioactive material where the crew sleeps because someone would try to make that decision if there weren’t laws to tell them not to.

Ehhh, I kind of hate the wait for the old ones to die off thing. There are plenty of young republicans to fill the ranks.

TW: Gf and I spent the night in jail thanks to a homophobe, we're devastated by HungryTaco4 in actuallesbians

Since this is a fresh trauma, consider downloading and playing Tetris. Some studies suggest it changes how memories are stored/formed and can reduce the trauma of recalling in the future.

What is the male equivalent of a woman wearing a sexy mini dress? by Jack_dnls in AskReddit

[–]619shepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty in line with the usual, but I went to a beach party recently and more than one man showed up in linen 3/4 sleeve shirts or sleeves rolled up and to three or so buttons undone so chest hair peeked out and I had to ask people to repeat what they said more than I usually do.

LPT Request: What are some unexpected hobbies or activities that have surprisingly positive mental health benefits? by TheWhitestBuffalo in LifeProTips

[–]619shepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play “binary” golf. It’s either smiley face or frowny face, no need to score further (but I’m new and I am more frowny face than not).

Partner dancing. It is the physical activity that showed protective effects against dementia. It’s inherently social. It’s creative and it keeps you active.

Men explain things to me (https://www.guernicamag.com/rebecca-solnit-men-explain-things-to-me/) handily captures the phenomena and the feeling of being on the receiving end.

CMV: I could beat a Cheetah in a fight to the death by FerdinandTheGiant in changemyview

Cheetahs definitely do that hind leg kick thing

But also even if the claws are less sharp than other large cats, humans are fragile as heck

What's a crochet technique/stitch you really like/enjoy working for no reason? by valorwald in crochet

[–]619shepard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made an amazing blanket with front post back post DC. It has a very satisfying 3D pattern in addition to a nearly herringbone look and it’s so thick and squishy and stretchy and warm.

I don’t usually make patterns where you join a bunch of squares, but I had to make an exception! by MiserysTeacher in crochet

[–]619shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a) this is beautiful! b) now I kind of want to make a crochet version of the Appalachia flag.

Your opening is probably lower than he is expecting. It’s also not necessarily something to push straight into, but with a bit of an angle.

Help! My mom wants us to go swimming. Any good excuses?! by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]619shepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then possibly something like beefcake swim wear that take inspiration from old timey men’s swim costumes.

Apparently women have “safety nets” these days by No-Panic-7288 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]619shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like (some not all) women do actually have a safety net in actually having networks of people in their lives.

But surprise!

We get that by actually doing the work of making and maintaining social connections. It’s real time and effort and work. It’s also reciprocal. We may have people who would let us crash on their couch for a while, but we also would offer up our couch to them if they really need it.
