“Love in the Time of Cholera” by Gabriel García Márquez, and all of his books. Such a different way of writing.

So why keep men out of commenting? I mean, it is a public space, they can read it. I agree that they have to be respectful, as we also should, but supportive men are to be celebrated, not silenced.

Oh, I did not know we are women only. And how would we know the gender of the poster?

Thanks for the link, interesting read( I read the transcript). A section here:

VOLPE: Yeah. Yeah. Like Harris said, it’s an easy solution. And you know, speaking of, like, some of these people, like Andrew Tate, like, their messages of, like, you know, you need to have women around you only to dominate them. And, like, those sort of messages, I think, are very appealing for men who feel like their place in the world is being threatened. And so it’s very easy to say, like, oh, yeah, like, maybe they just need a girlfriend or a friend and, like, they’ll be better.

And I think that maps neatly onto the way that we socialize boys and men, too, to sort of value that one romantic relationship, and, like, that is the thing…

This might be one of the reasons. But it is interesting that the survey says it is only 1% less of women than men feeling lonely. Would be interesting to know the country too. Not all societies are the same, and in some friendships between men are similar in connection like between 2 women.

Yeah, I gave up on it and do not miss the headaches.

Oh yes, I was going to say crowd. But I think it is actually noise. Unless it’s birds and bees, rain and wind…

Of course!

Regarding the fertility, well, I wish I have known more stuff about it when I was younger. I always had a chaotic menstrual cycle, but I did not pay to much attention to it. Now I have an age, and we are trying for a baby if it works out, I would have loved to have a normal cycle already. I would highly recommend the book Real Food for Fertility by Lily Nichols. What I discovered there, in my case, I ate too little protein, I probably need more magnesium, iodine and stuff like that. I made some changes in diet, supplements and focused on sleeping better, moving more, stressing less, but it is a journey. And when you have an age, time is scarce. So better to be informed and do things about it, so that one is healthy and has also a smooth period-menopause and menopause.

Sounds like how toxic relationships start.

Take care of your reproductive system even if you do not want to have kids. A healthy reproductive cycle means you are healthy.

Try not to stress about small things and prioritise sleep.

Don’t settle for a “meh” partner, learn how to be happy alone and the right partner will probably come, even if later in life. You can receive love and affection even if it is not romantic. Invest in time with friends and families (except the toxic ones).

Gorgeous! Good job!

I am one of the not interested in fashion posts, but as I said in the survey, I can just scroll past them. It’s not like it is offensive or something 😂. I just already have my taste established and am not looking for inspo. Keep posting fashion stuff whenever you feel like, let’s not censor ourselves, we get enough of that from the outside.

Looks like there is one PeerVue as per the following link:

PeerTube Third party applications

His videos are uploaded on PeerTube as well. I don’t know if his team is doing it or a fan. lastweektonight_channel@tube.fede.re

He he, I love peaches too, thus my lemmy name.

Sun bathed skin, forests(both the humid ones and the dry herby ones), baked bread, lily of the valley flowers, and many other flowers.

I know there is one for ceramic, I don’t know if it is the same name. The one I am learning is to repair clothes. But I do have the one you mention in the back of my mind to one day learn. I also like the idea, and I have a wine glass that broke its leg. I don’t know if it only works for ceramics, or can work with glass. I will pass that bridge when the time comes.

Recently I’ve been dabbing into visible mending and Sashiko(Japanese visible mending).

In the arms of my husband. Or him in my arms. Or just being in the same room with him and each one doing whatever.

Physically: I like my feet 😂 They don’t seem to age and don’t fluctuate with my weight. And they get me in lots of places!

Personality trait: I like to learn new things. I hope I get to have this until I die.
