Hello, my name is Cris. :)
I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff
I honestly can't fathom people identifying with what one would describe as "backlash against the metoo movement"
"Can't stand hearing all those women say they were raped or sexually harassed. I just won't tolerate it."
Love me some street complete! It's a great way for me to get out of the house and do stuff even when places are closed, since I'm not awake during the day
You sign in with your OSM account, and then when you add information via street complete your account submits the changes without needing to use the more advanced osm web interface
That's the most unsurprising news I've seen in a long time. Was there ever any universe where he wouldn't?
The guy is fucking insufferable 😅
That coin sounds super cool, I really like what I know of Stoicism, at some point I wanna learn more about it
These are absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing!
You should! Though it's also okay to have an imperfect carry. A lot of time edc is just a consumerist circle jerk. Sometimes it's nice to just see the normal realistic stuff people carry.
Regardless, I'd be happy to see your carry show up on my feed when you'd like to post it ☺️
The circles are from quarters so I can get a cart at aldi, but that seems like a handy thing for folks who'd like to carry a condom!
It most certainly is!
I already do that cause I'm broke as shit 😅 most of what I let myself buy is stuff that makes it a little easier to manage my sleep disorder
I've not tried the Kuro, I'll have to keep an eye out for one!
Is the ballpoint version of the zebra that all metal one (at least on the outside) edc folks all love? I wonder if the refills are interchangeable
That's a lovely little carry! The flashlight is an absolutely lovely shade of blue
You should post your carry to this comm sometime! It hasn't had much traffic and if there aren't posts, it doesn't show up on people's feed and folks forget it exists :)
Also I'm sure folks I'm the watches comm would love your Seiko if you haven't already posted it, that's a beautiful watch
Those are my quarters for getting a shopping cart at Aldi 😅
But I appreciate you putting good information out there for folks!
That looks like a great little carry, you should post it to the community!
How do you like the uniball one pen? I used to love my uniball signos, those are some excellent gel pens
If you see this comment, maybe take a quick pic to share the items you always carry on this comm :)
Communities that don't get traffic get forgotten
Looks lovely! Reminds me I should get back to my world soon :)
my ususals
My regular carry right now when I step out of the house includes:
- A leather wallet my grandpa gave me (the circle imprints are from the quarters I use to get a shipping cart at aldi)
- A hankerchief I made with my freind when she taught me how to use a sewing machine for the first time
- My trusty Casio a700
- An old field notes notebook. We had a bunch left over from Geo-Caching when I was in scouts a kid
- A muji gel pen (I adore these pens 10/10)
And my keys with
- A keychain from when my friend took me to see a league of legends semifinals that was being played near us
- Two mini library cards
- And a medication container I keep melatonin and some ADHD meds in (Non-stimulant, not that I expect cops will care if I'm pulled over 😅)
"The Orange" by Wendy Cope
This poem has a lot of emotional significance for me. I have a severe sleep disorder and as a result am not awake during the day. The things I miss the most are sunlight, and the small interactions with people in my area. The polite conversation at the cash register, giving folks compliments, people telling me about their tattoos, wishing people a good day.
When I can't see the sun, and I can't leave the house because nowhere is open its so easy to feel disconnected from humanity. Its incredibly isolating. On the rare occasions that I skip sleep for an important appointment, or my sleep schedule gets so late that it becomes early for a brief period and I get to do those things I miss, this poem captures the feeling that makes me happy to be alive.
For a short window of time, I'm really glad I exist.
My beloved Casio a700
Its got a couple more scuffs since I took this picture but I really love this watch. It rarely ever leaves my wrist; I even leave it on when I sleep
It was about $25 when I got it and it's held up phenomenally well

Lemme know if memes aren't alright, I see that both the armed queers comm and this one (along with a bunch of other small guns comms) are basically just single poster communities, so I figured I'd crosspost to help contribute when I see something that'd be a good fit :)
My early voting location had a goofy frame you could take a picture with 😅
This is from Durham NC, so the text is a silly "Durham" pun. And the local mascot is a bull, so a lot of Durham themed stuff features a bull
Forgive my very sleep deprived face and weird-ass glasses, I'm not normally awake during the day and the glasses help with my sleep disorder 😅
Feel free to post your voting pictures or "I voted" stickers in the comments; seeing them makes me happy!

An interesting old video on communication. It shaped a lot of my thoughts about communication from a young age and I recently watched it again and remembered how much I love it all over again
Also, yes it's by the guy who does the "true facts about" videos
You Should Know About Radio Free Fedi!
Radiofreefedi.net is a super cool internet radio with a couple stations that plays music from fediverse artists, along with a "words" station that plays non-music stuff like podcasts or other kinds of spoken programming
I've really enjoyed it and only learned about it cause someone here on lemmy mentioned it in passing, I thought I'd share so other folks know about it as well :)

Bernie Sanders: Is there a path to remove big money from politics? Goddamn right there is!

One of the biggest obstacles facing workers issues in the US is the disproportionate representation that corporate interests recieve, due to funding campaigns indirectly through citizens united. Bernie highlights the end of citizens' united, and public funding for political campaigns as key pathways to fix the outsized political impact of corporate interests
As long as corporate interests bankroll political campaigns, the people we can vote for will be elected partially at the behest of companies, and will have a conflict of interest in representing American workers
