  • Honestly my tires were alright so it probably was security glass.

    It’s a main/busy street with lots of bars and the wealth/housing gap is becoming unbearable so someone breaking car windows makes sense.

    As you said though I’ve seen lots of hate first hand toward cyclists so when I see something like glass in the bike lane I just feel sad.

    I visited Cork years ago and it was not exactly walkable so I love that you were out there biking but I’m sorry you had bad experiences there.








  • Sweet and salty things are good! I haven’t tried the watermelon feta salad myself but I can understand the reasoning behind the concept and I did mention it to someone else who thought it was an odd mix and they ended up loving it!

    I can’t think of the weirdest combo I’ve eaten at the moment but I know what you mean about being surprised by food combos.


  • Epstein related news is always hard to read but these paragraphs really aren’t sitting well with me.

    Monday’s settlement stems from claims filed last year by an unnamed woman, using the pseudonym Jane Doe, that the bank knowingly benefited from and facilitated Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. The woman, who alleges she was raped and trafficked, sued on behalf of a “large number” of other victims of that operation.

    “We all now understand that Epstein’s behavior was monstrous, and we believe this settlement is in the best interest of all parties, especially the survivors, who suffered unimaginable abuse at the hands of this man,” JPMorgan said in a separate statement Monday morning.

    The first paragraph says JPMorgan “knowingly benefited from and facilitated Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.”

    But the next paragraph says “We all now understand that Epstein’s behavior was monstrous,"

    So my main question is who exactly are the people who just found out that benefiting from sex trafficking others/minors is monstrous? and what on earth took them so long?


  • Every time I hear about rights being taken away I become more bold about my queerness.

    Same with my straight cis partner. He actually begged me to paint a trans flag on his banjo because the main online banjo forum was being anti-trans and he was like “Well I don’t want people in public thinking I’m a bigot just because I play banjo”

    Granted we’re a straight passing Canadian couple so these new anti-trans laws haven’t directly affected us but he’s wholeheartedly an ally and I’ve identified as bi for as long as I can remember so we do what we can to push back against anti lgbt (or generally bigoted) behaviour.
