At some point, my purse became a walking pharmacy. Stomach upset, got a headache? I have you covered. Need bug spray or sunscreen, what about some lotion or hand sanitizer? I've got a snack, and something to freshen your breath.
When I had surgery a few years ago, I had a weight limit of 10 pounds for 3 months! Hubs said he needed to weigh my purse to make sure I could safely carry it. I thought he was joking, turns out it weighed 17 pounds!
@RickiTarr these reusable grocery bags that NYC Farmers market gave out a while back that are so used at this point you can barely see the writing on it and I've had to sew some holes together, but they're great for a 'murse'
Often I will forget I bought something and leave it in there and that's why it's heavy and so the last time I picked it up I thought there has to be something in here that isn't just stuff I decided to carry around
@RickiTarr When I worked at a science museum, one of the reasons I regularly wore a suit jacket is so that I could spread things over a huge number of pockets.
And, well, the wording was, in part, intended to prevent people from thinking the matter was fully settled without giving away too much about what is settled, and what exactly might still be unresolved.
A DDOS against the Internet Archive has commenced again, timed for maximum pain for the California staff to deal with. (I don't sleep, but I also can't do anything on the infrastructure here.)
So, we're down until people wake up to deal with the constant DOOS against us because... reasons
@textfiles Probably by people who don't want others to see their old content. Archives and keeping track of history is so incredibly important. I hope you have a great backup system, and I hope finding ways to protect against these attacks gets the attention it needs. I'm especially fond of Wayback -- a site that can be especially useful to #journalists looking for suddenly deleted webpages, etc.. #journalism

unhelpfully, the us customary fluid ounce and the british imperial fluid ounce are not quite the same; the imperial is about 1 ml smaller .
edit: I forgot to add that in this case, it doesn't affect answers to the poll.
Voting alone won't be sufficient. And if we ever had politicians bold enough heed the will of the people on popular issues at all levels we'd find new obstacles would arise.
But voting can make a huge difference in the conditions we try to make these changes under. And the culture around popular control of government is a good start for the wider idea that people ought to generally have some say in the way things they participate in are run.
Une tante qui récupère tout partout, essaie de convaincre que la TV de ma mère ne vaut pas grand chose.
C'était une télé que ma mère n'a pas utilisé pendant quelques années. Une télé led. D'après ma tante, elle ne vaut rien car une télé led inutilisée s'abime. C'est vrai ?
Elle fait du forcing auprès de ma mère pour l'avoir et j'aimerais savoir si c'est vrai.
@flomaraninchi quand tu parles de la mégère, tu parles de "on ne laisse pas son vieux smartphone dans un coin" ? En fait j'ai compris que c'était une référence à Dirty Dancing ! De même, "GénéraAation sobriété" serait une ref à une chanson de Mylène Farmer. CC @vincib
@Camille_Poulsard j’y ai vécu aussi, ainsi qu’à Belfort. Mon aînée travaille à l’hôpital mais elle habite du côté de Saint-Vit, je vais moins souvent en ville, j’y suis généralement pour garder les enfants, c’est peu propice au tourisme. J’espère aller faire un tour aux Salines d’Arc et Senans cette année.
This isn't hyperbole. Vote out the GOP in STATE races
The GOP is so close to be able to call an Article V Constitutional Convention at the state level & rewrite the entire damn thing, authored by the Federalist Society, & there will be nothing anyone can do
Do you really want these insane laws they're passing in red states to be hard coded in the US Constitution?
Do you really want the US billionaire oligarchs to buy a constitution they are happy with?
@paul@Mallulady the USA feels like a failed experiment at this point, but we had a good run. Second longest lasting continuous democracy in the world, 248 years ain’t bad.
When the country splits in two, I wonder what the north / west will be called.
La fièvre de Petrov de Kirill Serebrennikov est disponible sur Arte
Encore 9 jours
"Auteur de BD, Petrov vit avec sa femme Petrova et leur fils dans une petite ville de la Russie postsoviétique. Affaibli par la grippe, il va passer la nuit à s’enivrer jusqu’au matin avec son ami Igor, et déambuler dans les rues. Sous l’effet de la fièvre et de l’alcool, des hallucinations lui viennent, ses dessins prennent vie et des souvenirs d’enfance remontent à la surface"
eigentlich wollte ich zu beckedahl, aber jetzt habe ich mich spontan für die amazon-session entschieden und zum einen macht es mich scheisse wütend, was amazon (und andere) mit unserer welt und unseren städten machen, wenn sie sich als nicht demokratische anbieter öffentlicher infrastruktur verkleiden. zum anderen macht es mir hoffnung zu sehen, wie leute sich dagegen wehren #rp24
@kielkontrovers Die Sozialdemokratie war zu Anfang ablehnend den Genossenschaften gegenüber, weil sie der Meinung war, die würden nur den Zusammenbruch des Kapitalismus hinauszögern, weil sie die Lage der Arbeiter verbessert.
Es gab immer die Diskussion zwischen Revolutionären und Reformern. Mittlerweile hat sich eher durchgesetzt, dass der demokratische Sozialismus besser per Reformen Schritt für Schritt zu erreichen ist.
