  • Oof, I lost finger-skin to that slidey bitch. Does that make carpentry and machining more or less manly?

  • There aren't any more axes, unless you count the moving bed. The one I used didn't need specialized tools to change the bit.

  • Why would women be uncomfortable about a dude joining if it's not a gendered club? I haven't met knitters of any age who wouldn't be thrilled to talk wool weights and patterns with anyone. I'm a woman who's been in and taught a ton of art and craft groups, they've all been mixed in age and genders. Art is for everyone.

  • Totally. Knitting is one of the most practical skills someone can have. It's math, textiles, logistics, engineering, and cozy. You can also take control of what materials go into your clothing, too, like by sticking to organics and staying away from synthetics that break down faster and shed microplastics.

    Hell, I got into fibre arts and went so deep I started visiting farms to buy my own fleeces, paying small hobby shepherds directly.

    Ravelry.com (I'm not a shill, it's just a great site) is good for searching patterns, organizing favorites, and it has a knitting calculator for conversions.

    You don't even have to knit a bowl to felt it, you can just felt wool roving over a flat circle form, cut it off, blow up a balloon inside and let it dry.

  • Last year I only needed a good miter saw. Now I know I'll only be happy with a 5 axis CNC machine.

    edit for shilling: I started !Art_Alchemist_Guild@lemmy.today a month ago. It's for art sharing, show and tell, how-tos, discussions and challenges for a ton of different crafts. I've done damn near everything from machining to crochet, so I'm happy to help out. Bring whichever combination of genitals you prefer.

  • I respect your stance. I inform folks about food stuff when I can and accept I can't change everyone, only make the kitchen more efficient.

    Even with all the bullshit it was a great feeling to be able to make safe, good food for people who had hard time finding places to eat out. Our integrity and no-questions-asked attitude was worth it.

  • It's a lack of mental health care and education.

    I don't have a formal ADHD diagnosis beyond a questionnaire given by a psychiatrist, and even that was a six month wait to start getting proper meds — a process that continues to be a fucking nightmare. Hospital visits give me near anxiety attacks because I don't know if I'm going to see a decent doctor or someone who reams me out because I don't have a "real" diagnoses.

    I'm on waitlists for a formal diagnosis and specialized care, have been for years. During that time one of the ADHD institutions shut down over lack of funding. I could have skipped the line by going private and paying thousands, but I don't have that.

  • I'm a former head chef of two kitchens, one that specialized in vegan/gluten free/specific diets. If someone feels the need to lie about an allergy, I don't care as long as they understand their food might take another minute or two — if that. It doesn't actually take that much longer. Food allergies are to be expected, it's up to the chefs to organize their kitchens and train their staff to handle them.

    Edit: We used to get Jainists, who don't eat onions or garlic as a religious thing. So I don't care what people's reasons are, I'm there to cook food they like that won't make them sick.

  • An asshole would tighten significantly under that trauma. Plus, the coal would singe and make brittle the surrounding tissues, creating an impassable butt channel. The solution is either a jackhammer, or, surgically open a hole on the other side, thread a chain through and out the asshole, attach it to the coal, and have a horse pull it into the ass.

  • Not guilty. No one said you, in particular, had to feel guilty. Maybe upset that friends, family and neighbours are getting shafted.

  • DEI

  • It stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Short form for the framework of programs that provide equity to all people in work, life, whatever. Relevant because those programs are being challenged and gutted in a number of different countries.

  • Oh for the love of fuck... Searching a term and clicking on the first result is bad media literacy. News media literacy is part of media literacy, but the term covers a much broader range than your description.

    After citing a few sources, I'm done with this conversation. My point has always been: This comic doesn't generalize or make a negative statement about men. You can respond, of course, but I will not.

    From Media Literacy by Sonia Livingstone, Shenja van der Graaf:

    Media literacy has been defined as “the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create messages across a variety of contexts” (Christ & Potter 1998, 7). This definition, produced by the USA's 1992 National Leadership Conference on Media Literacy, is widely accepted, although many competing conceptions exist. However, media literacy research and associated educational initiatives and communication policy reflect enduring tensions between educationalists and technologists, policymakers and critical scholars (→ Critical Theory), defenders of high culture and defenders of public morals (Potter 2004). Media literacy is associated more specifically with audiovisual literacy, digital literacy, advertising literacy, Internet literacy, film literacy, visual literacy, → health literacy etc.,

    From the National Association for Media Literacy Education:

    To clarify what we mean when we talk about media literacy, NAMLE offers these definitions: Media refers to all electronic or digital means and print or artistic visuals used to transmit messages. Literacy is the ability to encode and decode symbols and to synthesize and analyze messages. Media literacy is the ability to encode and decode the symbols transmitted via media and synthesize, analyze and produce mediated messages.

    And Strategic information literacy: Targeted knowledge with broad application:

    Media literacy is the method of dissecting media content in order to critically analyze it. To do this, it is essential to look at media content’s underlying messages, its ownership and regulation, as well as how it is presented.

    ...After which the passage discusses violent television.

  • No, I haven't.

    No, media literacy is not the same thing as literacy.
