Like I was saying to celli, it doesn't get used as much in kpop fandoms or ime in c-ent fandoms, which have a different relationship to tinhatting that I'm not well able to articulate, but I do think it's discourse valuable to be able to make the distinction

... the specific ways this stuff plays out in kpop spaces esp with the increasing prevalence of tinhatting. Probably best for us to learn the language the kids are using

I think the other use of the word "shipper" is pretty prevalent in kpop spaces. I get that as fandom olds we want to stick to the language that we have used in the past but I also think it's worth acknowledging...

Yeah, I guess my difficulty is I want to see all of it for my actual friends and none of it for dailies. Dialing up to even one or two likes will hide a lot of friend stuff without necessarily clearing the dailies stuff.

also I would really love it if folks could recommend BTS daily picture accounts that don't include a lot of discourse discussion and streaming chat

Is there a way to turn off viewing replies for specific accounts? I want to see replies from people to people, "friends of friends" sort of stuff, but seeing replies from things like daily accounts, strangers talking to strangers, is becoming too high traffic for me.

Should be fine. People often recommend icing fridge-cold cake as you're less likely to get crumbs in the frosting.

Even very commercial yarns can have different dye lots, but yeah, I reckon you're safe. And if you're making it now you will definitely be able to get more (I am currently knitting a jumper with yarn I bought 10 years ago and I'm going to run out and I am so pressed about it)

I agree with this but also think it's not the end of the world to just give it a go, because you can always order more. The only issue is if you're concerned about dye lot matching.

widely reported false claims of sexual assault are so rare that the phrase likely brings one or two cases directly to your mind. powerful men, on the other hand, sexually assault vulnerable young women every fucking day. use your brains and stop doing rape apologism. 💚

The wild thing about this is that Starmer, once the top lawyer in the UK, is just plain wrong about this. The equality act is clear about this and there are multiple examples of case law stating exactly that trans women have the right to use single-sex spaces aligning with their gender identity.

Yes but it's like the seventh book of a series (Network Effect in the Murderbot books, which are a delight anyway)

She said that she used to be in one of those meal subscription services. She was subscribed as a single person so they sent single ingredients, but the bags of freezer stuff like corn and peas don't come in smaller sizes

My mum is moving to Whangārei for six months so she's cleaning out her freezer and gave me many bags of frozen peas and corn. They all fit in my freezer... except the giant 2kg bag of corn

"Return to form" seems unfair because actually I very much enjoyed the Doomsday books too, but feels very much one of her stronger novels.

Man, going through my kindle, it has been a couple months of DNFs and books I was happy to finish but am not happy to recommend. A few months ago I binged my way through Ile-Rien (Martha Wells), loved that.
