Hello. Today I would like to share one of my happiest purchases for my apartment. It's a toilet roll holder with a little storage box above, I put wet wipes and pads/tampons in there. It's great. Ok thx byeee
One day, bf shared with him that it feels really inconsiderate to him when I'm late to meet with him (eg he comes to pick me up at 6 and I'm ready at 6:08). It hit me bc he really meant it sincerely, so I made an effort.
But one day he got mad that I "was late for our appointment" to meet in the living room to go to the grocery store *on vacation* and I said no. At some point the Dutchness has to stop. This is where I draw the line ๐
Also: this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but my sister is looking for a job in Dubai or remote!
In October she adopted our 14-year-old niece, who lost both her parents (my cousin and her ex) ๐. My sister has owned a small food supply business for the last 5 years now, but now being a single mom, she's looking for a more stable and secure income.
She has a background in business and has worked in corporate and back-office for Chanel, LVMH and Cartier to name a few.
@aral I used to constantly have dreams about stuff like that - responding to an email, doing groceries - and then I'd go on about my day thinking I had done the thing.. my mind was playing tricks on me ๐ญ
Tuned into the #ICJ hearings live (in the background since I'm at work). I really encourage everyone to do the same, even - maybe especially - if you haven't been following the news closely!
#COVID in the #Netherlands: The government has decided to stop updating the risk level "thermometer" in summer'23, which you only know when clicking "find out more" (what the fuck) so it is still marked as low, but check out the wastewater analysis: 2 weeks ago, the number of COVID particles in wastewater was twice as high as it has *EVER* been! Like, ever! Even at the worst peaks! And still no updates to the thermometer, no free test clinics, the vaccine only on referral... It's wild!
After being inspired by a beautiful painting, I got brown paper and a white pen! I'm rusty and finding my footing now, but it really is a very nice setup.
@iyalei@mekkaokereke haha yes! Different guy told me i was aggressive too, when i defended my ideas. And then another woman friend was told "people only agree with you because they're scared of you." ? I think they're just a bit uncomfortable with us and they would rather think it's our fault
@mekkaokereke > I fundamentally don't believe that we can address sexism and misogyny by giving women extra stuff to do. Yes! Especially considering that 90% of the time the advice is "assimilate into norms of masculinity" which assumes those norms are better when often they're really not.
e.g. I was given the feedback to "be more assertive" from men at work, even though I consistently got more buy in for my ideas than they did.
