@noracodes nice shot! Robins are such adorable birds

@platypus i see you’ve already gotten a few recs for 3M Aura’s as one of the better options for disposable N95’s & they’re what I’ve been using these last two semesters as well to fairly good success

i will note that they’re a bit on the larger size though—its less problematic for accordion fold masks like Auras than for duckbills where having the wrong size will completely ruin the seal but if you generally have issues with masks running large that’ll probably apply here as well

@pomological if you like alarmingly pink applesauce, these are delicious for that

Things that still aren't included:
- Individual people's rec blogs

- DW/LJ comment fic communities like kinkmemes or fic_promptly (though I'd love it if someone put together a current directory of some sort for these)

My last post on finding & sharing fic outside of Ao3 ( https://satsuma.dreamwidth.org/26683.html ) has been updated with all the links people sent me! If there are still things missing, please do continue passing them along

@pixouls my mother got me store-bought cookies for my birthday specifically bc she knew i’d want to reuse the tin 😆

@moonspider a couple things:

traditional content warnings aren’t about offensiveness, but the fact that a topic might be upsetting for some people. Sometimes a topic is both (eg. homophobia) but bugs and medical needles are two frequently warned for things where i think it is fairly clear the warning is not any kind of moral/cultural judgement or indication of offensiveness

fedi in particular—especially pre-Musk buying twitter fedi—has a culture of using CWs for an even wider variety of things from including collapsing long posts or threads, spoiler warnings for shows, hiding the punchline of a joke, etc. You might argue this means the feature should be renamed but regardless the fact is there is very little association between using a CW and indicating something is distasteful or offensive

As for selfies in particular, its a curtesy towards people who are startled by unexpected eye contact, which is why often the CWs in question are phrases like “selfie, eye contact” or “selfie but no ec”
