I think it might speak to other parents who are not accepting? Like it shows that someone who also thought like them was open to having their mind changed. They might be more willing to listen to her story.

Update: I found the original article. It’s very light on details and only mentions there was a time some years ago where Tamzin struggled with accepting her son’s identity. Still, it’s nice (to me, anyway) to see a positive development arc.

Yeah I heard some of the earlier pressings were mastered badly, and I was worried about picking up a copy because of that.

I think a good place to start is to work on separating the characteristics or values you admire (for example “fairness”, “honesty”, etc.) from a nationality or generic description (like “american”).

That way your sense of self-worth isn’t tied to a characteristic that can be gate-kept or denied from you.

Yeah Gen was not a kind person. Whatever s/he had going on, it doesn’t excuse or absolve how they behaved.

Sure, but as someone with dogs in my life I’m going to want to socialise with people I can introduce my dogs to. Your cousin won’t want to be around me and I get that, it’s not about me.

Not everybody is for everybody, and that’s okay.

Edit: re-reading this, it sounded callous. I’m sorry your cousin got attacked, it must have been awful for her.

Thank you! I came here to say this.

Also, this community is called “Dogs” 🙄

Yeah I’d love to see them live. Still waiting for a good opportunity.

Oooh difficult. 3 Libras, Orestes and Breña are all beautiful. The whole album is incredible though.

“these days” 😂

It’s not dead in the water though. After weighing up all my options, I decided buying a Pixel and immediately putting GrapheneOS on it was better for my privacy and security than getting another non-Google phone, and going through whatever processes required for whatever de-Googled Android ROM on that phone.

I don’t like giving money to Google, but when I weighed up all the options this was still the best course for me. Of course, this is just my experience and reasoning.

Besides, it sounds like GrapheneOS is in talks with other OEMs so we may see support in other non-Google devices!

Sorry, I didn’t intend my comment to appear as policing what you wrote! I was just taken aback by the common name.

Is that really the common name? 🤯

Is there anything JK Broadrick can’t do?

It’s my birthday soon and I’m spending time with my friends this weekend. I love my friends so much and I can’t wait to see them.

Yeah this is me.

There’s nothing in this article about UK nature or wildlife…

It’s in the Gay Village in Manchester! I can thoroughly recommend going.

I recently visited the statue of him in Sackville Gardens in Manchester. It’s good to see him being remembered.

I’ve used gen.nvim and codecompanion.nvim, both with a local ollama server running.

I think gen.nvim was a little more straightforward to use, but in general I don’t find LLM-aided coding to be that helpful to me.

That’s been on my reading list for a while. I’ll give it a go, thank you!
