Strawberry Full Moon over Ely Cathedral l VeronicaJoPo

[master-john-uk]

29th June 2026. This year's Strawberry Moon was extremely low in the sky, which made it look very large and bright. (A perfect photographic opportunity!)

Can you please pray for my little cat son to come home? He's big time an indoor cat, he escaped our home a few days ago and he's still not come home. We've tried everything to get him home with no success at all 🥺😔😭

😭

What's his name? I will add him to the altar.

I'm so so sorry.

[jenroses]

Most successful method we have used is a basket of hubby's stinkiest gym clothes on the porch. It's like a beacon to a cat nose.

[naamahdarling]

This, if you haven't tried it. Stinky clothes. The rankest. It doesn't attract animals that might come to eat any food, and they can smell it from a good ways off. Their own litter box can help too, I've heard.

I hope he comes home soon. Sweet lad.

it's crazy how once you notice how literally everything centres men all the time you will never be able to enjoy anything properly ever again

[dykieran]

this show is about men this movie is about men this game is meant to be played as a man these characters are men so they're intrinsically more likeable than their bitchy women counterparts this show is about women but they're all for men to look at this movie is about a woman but there's a guy there as well to make it more palatable for General Audience (men) this fandom is all about this one man what do you mean you don't like men. what about this man you must like him!!! he's like a woman to me! and by that i mean i headcanon him as a trans man because im #queeringit and him being a trans man basically means Woman Lite right? so i basically do care about women! and going on e makes you like men and going on t makes you like men and being a lesbian means you still have to have a himbo man friend and you HAVE to read this book! it's about a man

developing the hots for ryan gosling because of project hail mary is so fucking embarrassing I swear to god. that is a conventionally attractive man. a noted hollywood heartthrob. he's even blond, are you kidding me? did he win people magazine's sexiest man alive? I don't know. I'm not going to check but it wouldn't surprise me at this point. it's such a mainstream taste. such a clichéd celebrity crush. like oh I fancy ryan gosling and my favourite drink is coca-cola and my favourite snack is ready salted crisps. jesus christ. 'b-b-but i only like him when he's in a science pun tshirt and playing a dorky-awkward loner type!' doesn't matter. he's still ryan 'ken from barbie' gosling. it's so trite. I feel like the weird nerd girl in a teen coming-of-age romcom falling for the super popular jock. don't I know that I have a reputation to uphold here? cringe.

This post is the spiritual successor to that post about David Corenswet:

[dingdongyouarewrong]

i'm getting the sense some of you are not actually forklift certified.

[averagejoey2000]

[dingdongyouarewrong]

well damn . egg on my face

[dingdongyouarewrong]

THE PLOT THICKENS @averagejoey2000 explain yourself

[averagejoey2000]

I can't believe this is how I'm finding out that I got a scam forklift cert.

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.

29 CFR 1910.178 (l)(2)(ii)

but I did the in person practical shit at school.

[averagejoey2000]

the back of the card even had fancy numbers on it. I couldn't have known that this isn't the one. this website sounded more official than certifyme.net, and there wasn't one with a .gov address.

[averagejoey2000]

so, I emailed OSHA, and they said that so long as I live and work in California, there's no such thing as forklift certification. I have to be told how to do it every time I get the job.

[averagejoey2000]

Update: I took a certification class in shipboard Material Handling Equipment at my federal job. *now* I'm forklift certified, but only on ships and piers and only for this company, but also rated to forklift explosives and hazardous materials. Also I'm a woman now.

Everyone: Pound cakes are very rich.

Me: Yeah I bet they're a bit more than a regular cake, probably basically the same thing though.

Pound cake recipe:

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

This isn't a cake this is a giant cube of cookie

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#i fucking love pound cake i will go FERAL for pound cake i dont think this recipe has enough butter

This cake is approximately 50% sugars and fats how much more butter do you want

[flavinbagel]

Much more butter and a bit more sugar, actually. You know traditionally, pound cake meant every ingredient was added by a pound, so really there should be 250g of sugar and 250g of melted butter, and hopefully the eggs come out to 250g as well. I'm guessing the full 455g of each ingredient is probably more than you need.

Of course, since this makes such a dense batter, you pretty much have to bake it as a bundt, but that's your classic Pound Cake right there.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

That's fucking bonkers. Who invented this thing.

[rubinkatze]

Someone who was sick of having to remember measurements and went: "ah, fuck that. I'll just add a pound of each and it'll probably be fine"

Younger people, one thing I want you to understand about Millenials is that, overall, our parents taught their daughters to aim for careers and employment, but they didn't teach their sons to keep house. This causes a whole lot of Situations.

[sweaterkittensahoy]

My brothers are my half-brothers; they spent summers and some holidays with us. I love my brothers.

Their mother picked up after them. They were not required to take plates the kitchen or do the dishes or anything like that.

My mother, who would tell you she is for equality, came home one day, sighed at the mess of dirty dishes scattered about, and said, "Gayle, help me pick up."

"Those aren't my dishes," I said. "I picked up my dishes."

My mother sighed again. "Just help me pick up."

"No," I said again. "I didn't make that fucking mess."

She never approached my brothers and said, "Boys, in this house, you take your dishes to the kitchen." She did not tell our dad, "Hey, tell the boys they need to pick up after themselves."

It was, "Gayle, pick up the dishes."

And when I refused because it was not my fucking mess, I got lectured about being difficult.

See also: My brothers--in a classic dick-move of all siblings--figured out they could pop the lock on the bathroom door and throw it open, and I would freak out because I was in the shower and trying to get five fucking minutes of peace.

Guess who got yelled at for being "unreasonable"? Not the boys. Because a lot of moms of millennial boys still said shit like "boys will be boys" when they should have said "Boys, if you got body-slammed on the concrete, I'm not taking you to the hospital."

[gwydionmisha]

It was similar for Xers. I spent a lot of time in my 20's teaching romantic partners and friends basic household skills and having to be really hard ass about them carrying their weight.

It is stupid and infuriating and I hate that the "Boy Mom" trend is setting yet another generation up for unfairness and domestic strife.

[vaspider]

Yep.

[rhincodono]

One time when I was in high school, my mum came home w/ groceries. She needed help bringing all of them in. Did she ask my brother who was already outside playing basketball? No. Did she ask her husband who was sitting on his ass watching TV in the living room? Nope. She walked past both of them, through the house, and into my room where I was doing homework and yelled at me for not immediately coming out to help her.

I have been told that I am "the last of the millennials" or that I'm a "gen zer" or that I'm "on the cusp" by so many different people that I am 100% convinced this is not a generational problem. It is a societal problem. And millennial parents are not immune to raising their kids this way just bc they're younger than x'ers and boomers. Same goes for gen z'ers and every generation after us so long as misogyny remains the bedrock of society that it is.

[rockatanskette]

My parents did a lot to teach my brothers to keep house but the one that sticks with me and drives me a little crazy when it runs up against social expectations is that when we were 13+, everyone was on the dinner rotation. We didn’t have to make anything fancy and we didn’t have to do it alone, but once a week, dinner was our responsibility.

When I tell people this, they always, ALWAYS, assume I have sisters. They say shit like “oh I’d love to do that, but I have boys” and when I tell them I only have brothers, “oh you must have eaten a lot of burned dinners then!”

Like, no. To both of those statements. Sure we burned stuff when we were younger but we all learned to cook before 13, that was just the age where it became a scheduled chore. You know who did burn everything? My MOM. My Boomer dad did all the cooking because my mum didn’t want to and he was the one to help when we needed it, though my mum did help with prep/chopping things.

Fast forward to now, middle brother can make the best risotto I’ve ever had and my youngest brother is vegan and makes almost all his own meals because his partner isn’t and he doesn’t expect her to make two meals so he can eat.

The worst part of this social conditioning is how bullshit it is. I know this is not ingrained, I know people are teaching their sons to be assholes, and I look at my middle brother in his immaculate apartment with tasteful decor that he picked out himself and I look at my youngest brother who does all the clothes shopping for him and his partner because she struggles with it and it makes me want to just start biting people.

Men can be better than this, I GREW UP WITH THEM. I SAW IT. The parenting described above is fucking bullshit and it can be unlearned. My mum’s Russian and my dad’s a Boomer and they unlearned it, which means anybody can.

[madanimalscientist]

Seconding this. All of us got put into the dinner rotation as we got old enough for it. Gender didn't matter - knowing how to feed yourself is a universal thing. My mom is pretty conservative, but she was very clear on that - all of her kids would know how to feed themselves and take turns cooking dinner. But I know it's not as common as it should be - my brother had 3 housemates during college and he was the only one of them who knew any cooking. But the thing is, it totally can be. My siblings are all pretty awesome cooks, but it's because we got started helping young, got taught how to, and then it was made clear that it was expected of all of us to take turns feeding the family, regardless of gender. That was part of being a family.

I just enjoy cola generally why do people want me to choose a brand

[vixen-flame]

you already did choose a brand, calling it cola 🙄

[what-even-is-thiss]

And which brand is that? RC cola? Shasta cola? Jones cola? Red rock cola?

[vixen-flame]

We both know cola is Coca-Cola. Stop being facetious

[what-even-is-thiss]

Your view of cola is extremely narrow and I do not agree with it or accept it

[another-silly-birb]

Coke is coca-cola,

Pepsi is pepsi-cola

Cola is generic cola

If there's one piece of advice I'd give to folks in the US running Kickstarter campaigns, it's that if you're shipping rewards to Canada, please just send them via regular post if you possibly can. Outfits like UPS and DHL charge absurd fees to the recipient for every little thing when shipping from the US to Canada. I just got charged $40 CAD in "processing fees" to receive a package because DHL had to collect $4 CAD in sales tax.
