I know winter is a long ways away in my hemisphere but as someone living in a small modern shitbox without insulation I would like to recommend to others in my position these lil bitches
ALTLacking in doors and with a surplus of "open concept" doorways, I have found a bunch of tension rods and blackout curtains at thrift shops and have sectioned off pockets of my place. In the summer, I can open them up to help airflow, and in the winter, I hope that it will keep heating more manageable by trapping it in smaller spaces.
So far it has been effective!!
If you have celiac and buy the brand Van’s for their waffles, please know that 9 days ago there was a recall because some of the packages of the gluten free waffles may contain “undeclared” wheat. And if you have celiac, you know “may” might as well mean “does”.
This recall only applies to boxes with the matching lot codes and numbers, and do not pertain to other products that Van’s has to offer. These boxes were distributed in AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, NC, & WA. Please check your boxes immediately to ensure your own safety and save yourself the painful reactions to gluten. It’s advised the purchased packages be either thrown out (or given to someone who can eat wheat so as not to waste it) or return the product to where you’ve purchased it from.
“The U.S. Food & Drug Administration website published the recall July 3. It applies to certain packs of Van's Gluten Free Original Waffles with lot code UW40193L, expiration date Jan. 19, 2024, and UPC 0 89947 30206 4. According to the Van's recall, some of the packs of waffles may contain undeclared wheat.”

class and gender presentation is a particular Thing for me cause like. I've been poor my whole life, like malnourished-since-seventh-grade kind of poor, and I'm quite feminine, and my femininity inevitably makes people read me as wealthy. when I was a young kid, my classmates would phrase it like I dressed "fancy" or "old fashioned" ("fancy?" I would think, looking at my outfit that was just a single dress, literally one dress, the most simple and easy outfit a person can wear), and as I and my peers got older, that changed to people thinking I was some kind of like, old money heiress. because girlies who get free school lunches are incapable of wearing perfume, apparently.
multiple times a semester, I would have to explain and re-explain to teachers that I couldn't pay for mandatory field trips or extra-credit private tutoring, and every time they would think I was lying because I was too smart and too feminine to be poor. in some circumstances, when I tried to speak out about queerness or misogyny, it would get dismissed as hysterical privileged whinging because I had the audacity to wear dangly earrings and sit with my legs crossed while talking about domestic abuse.
like I Know there are ways that certain standards of femininity are locked behind paywalls or incompatible with manual labor jobs, but I honestly think a lot of our perception of femininity as upper class comes from the way that femininity / womanhood (not the same thing, but often considered as such) are seen as artificial, fragile, and frivolous. I would stand next to my classmates, me in my threadbare sundress that I'd been wearing for eight years and them in their brand new designer athleisure wear, and they'd say "okay obviously you're going to play the rich bully in this educational skit about classism."
anyway. I've never played disco elysium but I love this screenshot so much.

I'm taking away the word empathy from the NTs until they discover it isn't a synonym for "giving a shit about people"
In an attempt to be less of a dick:
empathy is a brain function that some people (including me!) struggle with.
There are three types! Affective empathy, which is basically the ability to read other people's emotions, Somatic empathy, the classic "I feel sad because you're sad" and Cognitive empathy, which is the ability to accurately guess what people are thinking and feeling.
If you use empathy to mean "caring about other people" when you could use words like compassion, you're implying a large subsection of the population (including people you may know) are heartless and bad simply because of the way they were born!
Not cool!
