Little miracle though, I got a notification and can see your comment. Last time that happened I still carved my comments in stone.

I have officially given up. Sorry, but whether it is a person or a website, I want to feel a baseline of respect and G/O media just doesn’t care about its community. Aside from it being hugely inconvenient, if they don’t care about us why should we care about them? (and the communities across the G/O sites very much…

Maybe it’s time for a strike...

TERFs can go shove it - but it is important to recognise how our language (alongside our emotions, mental health, safety, autonomy and whatever not) is influenced by how others perceive, treat and talk about us - and to find ways to continue to reject it.

I’m for ditching the acronym all together, because no matter how many letters you include you will always leave some peope out of it. And adding the ‘+’ is saying ... and others. Does not feel particularly validating for the ‘others’. The intentions are good, won’t deny that, but I think it has served its purpose.

There are various recipes out there, not difficult to find, but my method:

Except for an airfryer if you have one. Faster but also sincerely way better - crispier on the outside, fluffier on the inside.

Do you know Béla Fleck also worked together with the Alash Ensemble? They’re a trio from Tuva (Russia) and considered to be among the very best throat singers in the world. They actually did a christmas album together, which is wild and simply awesome (also do check out Alash’s album Achai!).

Not the worst of ideas. The whole grey thing is ridiculous to begin with - like they don’t want a community.

On another article, someone replied to me but they’re still in the greys (is there anyone - even from kinja - who understands how that works?) and the comment is only visible in my notifications - there’s no way to find it on the article itself and to like and/or reply (well, no like in this case but that’s another…

If you consider the political spectrum to be a circle, he really isn’t that far removed from the Tuckers of this world.

This announcement did not warrant a slideshow, AVclub? No?

More I think of it - this show is revolting on so many levels but what bothers me more, considerably more, is that the G20 agrees to play a part in it. My guess it is about some noble, if not sincere, goal to attract young people and show their good side* but this is horrendously misguided.

She didn't. She's stepping down end of this month after the federal election.

I spent well over a decade looking to find some sort of acceptance, comfort and, I guess, truth in religion (I had a disastrous childhood - had to find meaning somewhere in life). Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Baha’i, Buddhism and more. Studying texts, long long conversations with religious people including…

Not Catholic in my case but just as toxic a religion - it’s been a struggle with years of therapy behind me, especially being queer and not neuro-typical (and generally believing in decency and kindness).

To be fair, how ya gonna Vatican without a gay sauna?

I don’t care what he is, in my world he’s a cupcake.

No. I won’t accept it. I will write a very stern letter if I have to.

I don’t want to be that guy (but I will), having seen the last episode it’s not just the bone structure that elicits a Good lord...
