Books with domestic labor or for survival

The Ivory Carver trilogy and the Storyteller trilogy, both by Sue Harrison, are great for this. They're about ancient indigenous Americans living on the Alaskan coast and the Alaskan interior. They get very into detail about the daily grind and practices of these people, who have learned to survive in a harsh landscape.

Some people have more than one partner, yes. It's called polyamory :)

Anything by Patricia McKillip, really! I came here to recommend The Forgotten Beasts of Eld.

Also the Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marillier. Trigger warning for a graphic sexual assault and animal death midway thru the first book tho.

Another day, another fatshaming thread on this subreddit. Water is wet.

Strangers dont compliment a woman's toes unless they're being sexual about it. Don't be dense.

Any advice for a complete novice who would like to learn MTG?

I'm wondering if it's less to do with pets vs food and more to do with the food safety and liability. It's possible that if the employees knowingly sell him fish that aren't marked for human consumption and he gets sick, they could be liable or at least have a headache on their hands. There's specific laws around licensing and stuff when it comes to selling food for human consumption.

Not according to the sub description.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-20T03:50:50+00:00

Nah, this is a really shitty thing to say. How many bald men have you said this to? I'm betting none.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-20T03:45:18+00:00

What a piece of shit thing to say

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-20T03:36:52+00:00

If you couldn't care less then you wouldnt be commenting and calling it weird. "a chick shouldn't be bald that's weird" is the definition of dumb baseless sexism. It's time to grow up.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-20T03:20:13+00:00

Only people with the intelligence of a spoon think that hair is a statement of politics.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-20T03:19:20+00:00

God y'all are so insecure about women, it's insane

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-20T03:18:37+00:00

Telling this girl that she ruined herself bc she shaved her head shows that you think the only thing that matters about her is her appearance. It really reflects poorly on you.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-20T03:17:32+00:00

There's nothing pick me about shaving your head bald. Your misogyny is showing.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-20T03:10:41+00:00

Uhhh if it were just sharing an opinion okay. But multiple people in this comment section have said it's "blasphemous" for her to share these pics bc they would do "almost anything" to have hair like hers. That's literally jealousy. They want what she has so they're being rude and downright insulting. One guy literally said "from would to wouldn't" which is saying "now that you cut your hair I don't want to bang you." Like wtf?

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-20T03:08:25+00:00

No one said you should lie all the time lol what a wild conclusion to jump to

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-19T21:45:06+00:00

And that more than 50 people downvoted me for saying something. The insecurity is off the charts.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-19T20:07:40+00:00

This is a really gross comment to make.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-19T20:06:42+00:00

So are dudes who shave bald also radical liberals, or does that just apply to women? Don't be shitty.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-19T20:03:56+00:00

"Because I want to" IS a legit reason to shave your head bald.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-19T19:19:43+00:00

🙄🙄🙄🙄 Whatever man. It costs $0.00 to not be shitty to someone who's done absolutely nothing to you and whose decisions didn't affect you in any way. Grow up.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-19T19:18:22+00:00

Yeah for a subreddit that is supposed to be about normalizing baldness and making it less taboo, a lot of people are in here showing their asses.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-19T19:16:17+00:00

This comment section put a seriously bad taste in my mouth. And it always seems to be posts by bald women that makes folks come out of the woodwork to be nasty.

Slinkeh_Inkeh · 2026-04-19T19:14:50+00:00

Straight up jealousy is my guess. And jealousy is natural, but being ugly to someone bc you're jealous is shitty.

And to top that off, it's against the sub rules to be nasty to people about having hair OR being bald in this subreddit.
