Is there a German word for the feeling when you arrive outside your door and aren't sure you have your keys?

"We've moved beyond the idea that women wearing pants is a problem. Women wearing pants is powerful, it's strong, everybody accepts it, and it's associated with the patriarchy, it's associated with being male. The minute a man puts on a dress it's disgusting, so what are you saying? Men are strong, women are disgusting? I'm not doing that anymore. I'm done with that. I'm a man in a dress and if I feel like wearing a dress I'm gonna wear one." - Billy Porter

@ghost_bird yeah I think that unfortunately makes some sense. I may think about that or join something delightful and small like tootplanet? Or stay here for now? I dunno.

Feeling some parallels to the no ethical consumption under capitalism / landlords being evil and yet I must buy food and rent a place to live. Doesn’t mean one doesn’t try, but one can’t escape human mods.

Just under 40 sq. ft. of moss yard can absorb as much carbon as 275 mature trees.

@xenophora oh gawd not long ago I stumbled across some comment from him where he was like, "if you're not careful liberals you'll lose me" and of course literally everyone's Twitter responses were JUST GO AWAY ALREADY

millennials enjoy houseplants bc it's nice to put hard work and care into something and get something out of it for a change

"Stop initiating force against me." Then they kicked me around on the ground in the hallway, before they took my camera and threw me outside. I was crying and stuff, I just sat there. I was in shock because it was so sudden. Looking back there were warning signs though.

I think they felt bad for me and gave the camera back, but when I looked later they stole the memory card with all of my Greek photos.

So they initiated force and theft. They broke the NAP. I knew the left anarchists were not real anarchists, but I never knew they would do something that bad.

I wasnt seriously hurt, just kicked around a little, lots of bruises and little cuts. I am fine guys so don't worry. Just needed to share.

I'm not big on communing with nature. I prefer feeling connected to a city street, to be honest. But like, that too is nature, so what's the big deal.

Seems like #dill is fine with my wife working from the new house
