Even tho I'm a chronic pain bebe I am hauling my furniture around to make my apartment look and feel more flowy and I gotta say. There is no one stronger than a girl (GNC) moving furniture on their own.

Thankfully mom came over and helped a bit so I got the rug tamed again. Listing some items on FB marketplace and then buying a few new to me pieces to downsize the amount of pieces I own.

The gods must help me get a beautiful curio cabinet that doubles as a bookcase. I need it so desperately.

I picked up an entryway tree today and it looks chefs kiss stunning already. The layout of my apartment is inspired if I do say so myself - I mayy uh have an issue finding a spot for Sigourney Weaver (floor loom) in this new set up tho....

This weekend I'm hauling a new TV stand on Saturday and the BOOKCASE (!!! I GOT IT !!!) on Sunday. Fingers crossed it fits in my Rav. But I tempted the seller with an offer of cash money and she took it. I'm THRILLED.

It needs a bit of a clean, a new glass pane on one door, and the lock mechanism needs to be reinstalled. All of which is easy peasy.

However ☝️ it is solid wood and an antique. Shit will SUCK to get up the stairs to my second story apartment.

hi yes hello what the fuck is metrosexual lmfao

It's hard to explain to zoomers just how insanely homophobic the early 2000s were. If you were male, and like, washed your hair regularly, people would call you a faggot.

So, dudes who washed their hair and wore button ups developed the term "metrosexual" which meant "I care about my appearance but I am attracted to women and don't have sex with men."

[cryptotheism]

And not just "oh people called you gay to be mean" like they literally thought you were homosexual and hiding it. Women would literally be like "damn, I was super attracted to him, but I heard he wore shorts more than twice in a week, so I guess he must like men."

you couldn't even wear a scarf. the scarf made you gay.

saw an ad outside a local restaurant that said "have a star-crossed dinner this valentine's day"

do...do people not know being star-crossed is bad?

"come here and have a dinner that's cursed by fate"

[3liza]

everone in the replies going "no it isnt" and "ive never heard it used that way before" take a look around at what and who you are surrounding yourself with. ignorance is contagious, never just assume you know the actual literal meaning of anything, look it up

[madseance]

“I've never heard it used that way”

If you have heard this phrase at all, you have almost certainly heard it in Romeo and Juliet or as a reference to its use in Romeo and Juliet. It is far and away the most famous use of the phrase.

Two households, both alike in dignity (In fair Verona, where we lay our scene), From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.

Star-crossed = crossed (opposed) by the stars (fate). Their love is predestined to fail.

If you've “never heard it used that way”, then as invisible-goats suggested above, you are hearing it from people who are using it wrong. Or you're hearing people use it correctly and you're interpreting it wrong. Either way, arguing about it is a baffling response. It means what it means. Stop refusing to learn things because you're allergic to being wrong.

[monkeydoespride]

I don't think anyone is saying that it didn't originally mean that. They are simply stating that it doesn't mean that anymore.

[fox-bright]

No, it definitely still means that.

genAI companies are now buying up rare and antique books so they can scan them and use them to train their AI. then they're destroying the books afterward.

AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almos

AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.

they've had to face settlements against stealing from current authors, so they'll just go for the old books now. they're also doing this so they have the only copies of rare books.

they're taking water, power, natural resources for their data centers. they steal. they're book burning, essentially. i'm just so angry, i'm at a loss right now.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[ladyfoxfire]

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

[dressedupliketheking]

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold

Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in

TLDR- Modern agriculture pollen is low in nutrients, and there aren’t enough wildflowers. Science has to develop vitamins to supplement the diets of agricultural bees. So plant some wildflowers for the wild bees near you.
