Comment on Tildes Survey #7: What is your gender identity? in ~talk

People feel embarrassed when they realise (I start talking or they notice boobs) but I don't really feel any way about it. Guess the closest I've seen that described is gender apathetic?

Their design has always evoked speed and elegance. This design is just not it.

Comment on AP's timelapse shows how to make a 400-year-old bridge disappear: the 'French Banksy' creates a 'cave' installation over Paris' Pont Neuf in ~arts

According to their website this modern version actually pays homage to Christ and Jeanne Claude's wrapping of the same bridge: https://christojeanneclaude.net/artworks/the-pont-neuf-wrapped/
I prefer the original to be frank.
Funny bit of history about Pont Neuf: it's Paris' oldest bridge but the name means "new bridge". It was named that at the time of its creation because its construction was considered very modern for that time. No houses stacked on top and it had sidewalks to boot.
Edit: made a few grammatical errors and added the bonus fact about the bridge

It can be a long and arduous process, often requiring a loooooot of research. It can also be very painful for people around me so I sometimes get coaxed into certain decisions (for better or worse).
If it's a life or death situation and I need to make a quick decision, I have to go with my gut. More a "shoot first and ask questions later" approach in that case.

I was lucky that another family member intervened, but my parents never got wind of it (I assume), so I had to see that person again several times. I know what you mean about living with the shame, I also don't talk about it much even in therapy.
It super sucks and I'm so sorry you have to live with this burden. You didn't deserve what happened to you. The only one who should be ashamed is your abuser and anyone who enabled them. I know it's not much but from one victim to another, just know you're not alone and I'm rooting for you to find peace.

People in Portugal are exposed to a lot of Brazilian media, especially from telenovelas and music. There are also a lot of Brazilians living in Portugal, especially the big cities. Not so much the other way around. Basically Brazil is to Portugal what the US is to England. Except maybe we're more open to adopting the other country's spelling conventions.

I haven't caught Lyme's but I spend a lot of time outdoors in the wild so it's only a matter of time... I hope they don't assume it's not a problem in Europe and make access to the vaccine difficult.
