I do! I volunteer at a dairy goat CSA, and I’ve learned how to make my own chèvre at home

Accounting. The advice given to me when I went to college was “major in something ‘practical’ and minor in what you love”. I think that was good advice. That way you end up with in-demand skills and a solid fallback, but by doing minors and extra certificates, you get to spend time learning things you’re passionate about, and you can demonstrate to future employers that you are well-rounded and adaptable.

Handed down or sold, most likely

We live in the dumbest fucking timeline

It’s easier for some people to submit to authority and believe that the immigrants, trans people, antifascists, etc are the cause of all their problems than it is for them to accept that the world is a flawed and complicated place with few clear answers. It’s a mental shortcut, with often disastrous consequences.

I mean, of the possible sponsors out there, Ground News is pretty alright. I don’t particularly need another subscription, but it seems like a valuable enough service

I work in commercial and institutional building energy efficiency. I notice myself paying way more attention to the infrastructure that normally fades into the background. Stuff like “I wonder how big the transformer for this building is?” or “Ooh, that’s a hefty cooling tower, I wonder how much chilled water they use?”

We had a family or two of mice living under our kitchen a few months back. We ended up killing 13 total. It was horrible. I hate killing things, even if there’s no better way to deal with them as pests. It just broke my heart every time.

Now their hole is stuffed with steel wool and sealed with foam though, so I think we should be safe from their return.

Living in a Christian nationalist surveillance state sure is fun! 🙃

Only if you’re okay with bland soups.

If I have the time and space, oil paint. It can be finicky, but you also have so much control over the medium

.world and .ml like to beef over their politics (generally liberal vs more leftist/Marxist)

Aside from that, people are generally pretty kind and won’t bash you for having left-of-center politics. If you’re a conservative, though, I’d expect downvotes. There just aren’t very many around on Lemmy. (And I personally think things are better that way.)

Ding ding! After the Proton fiasco, I got a domain and have started moving my accounts to that email, which connects to Tuta

Getting pretty tired of shithead Nazis claiming they’re autistic. Autism doesn’t make you a Nazi

Continued to support Democrats after they fucked him in the 2016 primary, I’m guessing?

I don’t know, I still like him

Less than Google is, for now. But still bad enough for me to be switching to Tuta

And you have to do it within the narrow time and energy constraints created by needing to work to stay alive.
