  • My mum did this. I made it to the first death (hawk) and ran crying into the kitchen where she was. I was 4.

    Then my first husband did this! He got me the DVD and it is still unwatched in the plastic wrap.

    My current husband downloaded plague dogs because it's criterion and that rests unwatched on the hard drive because I cannot even watch anything by this director.

    However, I did read the book Watership Down in college, and wasn't traumatized. I also collect copies of the book Private Life of the Rabbit which Richard Adams used as a source book

  • Yes, but it can be troublesome for some to get a passport issued. I think they also recently added a (roughly) $1000 "travel tax" to restrict leaving. However, this story is about Afghanistan. No male escorts are currently needed in Iran.

    Edit: I was way off on the departure tax. It's IRR2.2m, which is currently about $52.

    South Florida, in an old neighborhood

    I really would love to know what it is, and also I kind of want one, so let me know if there's a reason I shouldn't.

    how did Luigi change your life?

    I went round in circles trying to think what my action should be, but I'm a crafter not a bullet engraver. The most vicious thing I could see myself doing was sending threatening decoupage.

    I landed on building community with my neighbours, and have started be giving homegrown produce (mainly kale and loofah), homemade bread and free childcare in my neighbourhood (just a couple of hours a week). I'm also just not spending money until I must, and being more conscious when I must.

    The death of the united Healthcare CEO started me thinking, and made me take action. It's small action, but it's within my ability. What did it do for you?

    giving out food bags to employees

    Rather than paying a living wage, Broward college has decided to distribute food bags to their employees. 50 bags for 500 employees 👍

    (They do regularly do this for students too)

    "If you don't vote

    <insert democrat>

    democracy will end"

    This article does a great job of explaining people's frustration with having to vote for Biden again. It's long, so here are some quotes. They're totally cherry-picked, I'd recommend reading the whole thing (especially if you think the problem started with Biden, and that Clinton and Obama were ever good choices).

    during the 1980s and early 1990s, fears of a relentless Republican juggernaut pressured those left of center to take a defensive stance, focusing on the immediate goal of electing Democrats to stem or slow the rightward tide.

    Today, the labor movement has been largely subdued, and social activists have made their peace with neoliberalism and adjusted their horizons accordingly. Within the women’s movement, goals have shifted from practical objectives such as comparable worth and universal child care in the 1980s to celebrating appointments of individual women to public office and challenging the corporate glass ceiling.

    Each election now becomes a moment of life-or-d

    Disability denied....return to work denied.

    I'm a nursing Mum, USA, and my work (transportation) is not protected by the pump act. https://www.usbreastfeeding.org/the-pump-act-explained.html I was told via email from HR that they "do not make accommodations for crewmembers." Legally they don't have to, so I applied for disability. It was denied with some accommodations for my return to work that needed clarification, but I didn't expect much more. I then started my return to work process, including a medical return to work form for my provider to complete. The provider used the exact same, cut and paste, language as the original request for disability form. My return to work has been denied because they cannot accommodate me. Local unions advice: break the rules. So, yes, lawyer up, of course. However, that will take months or years (like the Frontier case https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/settlement-reached-frontier-airlines-pregnancy-and-lactation-discrimination-lawsuit ) and I am running low on my savings.

    So, despit
