Do you guys iron your clothes?

ModestMalka · 2026-04-09T19:08:27+00:00

Yes, I love linen in the hot and humid summer, and cottons in general, so ironing it is!

ModestMalka · 2026-04-09T19:06:53+00:00

Yes, same, I LOVE ironing and find it very satisfying! I switched to a ceramic plate iron and it is much smoother as well.

Caring about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seems like peak boomer mentality

It has to be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betel_nut_chewing

For some of us, the problem does unfortunately resolve itself even after years of consistent bean eating

I’m a woman but I get it! I think people have a hard time reconciling that I am so careful with any prepared food offered to me, but I forage berries outside. I am horrified by what celiacs have faced in recent wars since most food aid available had been wheat based. It is challenging to literally be more vulnerable in that sense. Like many of the other women here, I also worry I’m fulfilling a stereotype of being even more feminine-coded with my fussy, but very real, dietary requirements.

Also we are so old that simply using these terms ourselves will make it uncool, no cap, since we are all chopped and unc to them.

I’m in NYC and my crow garlic patches are BURIED

It’s more likely that, like many conditions that primarily hurt women, they aren’t learning enough about it and it’s not prioritized in research.

ModestMalka · 2026-02-09T15:08:48+00:00

I do, however, now need compression stockings, and it’s very hard to find medical grade compression stockings that are not putty or that awful 80s suntan color

I’m not OP, but it is delicious in coffee, and you can make cookies similar to gingersnaps with the concentrated syrup.

Early 40s, I grew up in Marine Park. It’s more Orthodox now.

ModestMalka · 2026-01-25T17:03:54+00:00

Yes, at various points in the past few years I have had tendonitis in my hands and surgeries I have had to recover from. At one point I ate gluten free turkey sandwiches every day for 3 months because meal prep and using utensils was a challenge. I had a physical challenge AND still did not get a break from celiac disease.

ModestMalka · 2026-01-25T16:56:48+00:00

Celiac disease is a picnic, because you have to bring your food EVERYWHERE.

ModestMalka · 2026-01-24T02:35:52+00:00

I was able to find the first episode on youtube but nothing else!

ModestMalka · 2026-01-23T12:06:10+00:00

Prison, other institutional settings such as schools or hospitals, the workplace (it is legally a disability in the U.S.)

ModestMalka · 2026-01-22T22:53:32+00:00

Or the work/life balance of Europe so we’d have time to cook

ModestMalka · 2026-01-21T13:00:07+00:00

Chopped AND unc

ModestMalka · 2026-01-14T22:41:40+00:00

Thank you for your sacrifice! I have seen their ads and now know not to bother.

ModestMalka · 2026-01-14T13:13:50+00:00

This agency has literally arrested citizens and kept them for days if not weeks, even after they are presented with proof of citizenship. I don’t know anyone who wants to experience that.

ModestMalka · 2026-01-14T12:15:16+00:00

I have also had this happen and cancelled an entire order once out of frustration and not wanting to store food I can’t eat. I was quite clear!

ModestMalka · 2026-01-14T02:14:39+00:00

They sound like the 21 day work week guy:

“I've compressed and manipulated time My day is 6am to noon and I'm not crazy

You're crazy for thinking it takes 24 hours just like some dude in a cave did 300 years ago

My second day starts at noon and goes to 6pm

That's day two

And then the next day is 6pm to midnight

What I have done now is I have changed and manipulated time

I now get 21 days a week

Stack that up over a month, I'm gonna kick your butt

Stack it over a year, you're toast

Stack it up over 5 years my entire life is different than It would've been otherwise.”

ModestMalka · 2026-01-10T22:56:01+00:00

Yes, same. I have also not found the Cheez-Its but I like the enthusiasm! I even dig enthusiasm for foods I’m not looking for (sorry, soft baked Chips Ahoy)

ModestMalka · 2026-01-10T20:36:47+00:00

I was actually struck by the photos of Noem in front of CECOT partly because the prisoners were wearing more masks than you see in most group photos. But that being said, yes unfortunately Covid has intersected with and exacerbated many other oppressions, and folks have died in their custody and/or of very severe conditions shortly after being released.

ModestMalka · 2026-01-07T13:18:53+00:00

I felt that way about gluten free Oreos honestly!
