I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

I’m too pale AF to have a loving relationship with the sun. I’ve been burned too many times. I always use protection, but last weekend the sunscreen failed me :(
- Comment on I’ve got this worldbuilding project where a big chunk of land is cordoned off. I’m not sure what’s inside. 7 months ago:
Ohio is a perfectly nice place filled with perfectly nice people. Exceptionally, creepily, contagiously nice.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 8 months ago:
I do. I left my pour-over coffee maker at the office, so I make do with instant coffee. It’s… ok, if I drown it in almond milk.
- Comment on Lemmy is slowly dying while Reddit thriving 8 months ago:
My mobile app (Joey) still works for me. I think it’s because I’m a moderator on a subreddit. I occasionally visit Reddit, but not nearly as much as I used to.
- Comment on Thinking of visiting a pawn shop. What should I know? 8 months ago:
TBF you just described most of capitalism.
I don’t need a gun, but the pawn shop on my commute has some musical instruments in the window which intrigue me. I’m a serial hobby-starter, and prefer gently used hobby tools over new, because used items have less of an environmental impact than new items.

I wonder how much of the rise in reported latex allergies is the prevalence of tire bits in the environment. Iirc, some of the rise is from increased awareness and some is it attributed to increased latex glove usage in medical settings due to the AIDS epidemic. But are tires also a relevant factor?
(Am latex sensitive, have never used latex gloves even in an educational setting because my high school chem teacher was allergic so we had nitrile in the lab)

My understanding:
- you: the person I’m talking to
- y’all: the group of folks I’m talking to
- all y’all: y’all, plus anyone else that could possibly be addressed by me (everyone in voice range)

I’m a Southern transplant living in New England for the last couple decades and I’ve never thought of “y’all” as being indicative of right-wingedness. I use it all the time and it doesn’t feel like anyone thinks anything of it.

That would likely affect people that use screen-readers, too.
