plane? fly thing

drum kit? hit thing

tools? work thing

3. if you've got more than one image, then the field for entering text for an image description is fucking tiny!!!!!! why!!!!!!!! (see image)

so to condense my suggestions into one holistic solution

how bout, you click the image to add a description, it opens the image up full res with a big honkin' old text box underneath. and if you change tab or whatever then it all stays there on screen exactly how you left it until you click OK

2. if i leave the text field of the image description, e.g. to look at the full size image in another window (see problem #1), when i return it's gone back to the start of the text so i have to click and scroll to the end of the image description, which is a pain if it's a particularly long description

ive noticed adding image descriptions is unnecessarily difficult, which could discourage people from actually adding descriptions

1. you can only add descriptions to the tiny cropped thumbnail image, so generally i have to open the image up in a separate tab and put them side-by-side while writing the image description. if you could click the image for a full-res preview while typing the description, that would be magnificent

i think this comes down to not understanding, for whatever reason, what a metonym is.

definition of a metonymy:

"A figure of speech in which one word or phrase is substituted for another with which it is closely associated, as in the use of Washington for the United States government or of the sword for military power."

that what "white people" means. it doesn't mean "every single caucasian who has ever graced, or not graced, tvym, the earth".

this just hit me.

i think white people are still on this "but not me!!!!!" thing when someone says "white people".

this happens on here a lot. a POC says something that's meant in the abstract (while still being relevant and valid) about "white people", and in rush the explainers.

it's pretty obvious what this is, in terms of privilege (or should be imo) -- but i want to talk about language here for a minute.

Das ist jetzt vielleicht ne sehr unpräzise Frage, aber: Kennt ihr empfehlenswerte Tutorials für blutige Anfänger*innen zum erstellen einer GUI für bereits existierende Software die sonst nur in der CLI läuft?

Nur mal so interessehalber, aber ich brauche leider ein bisschen übersichtliche Klickibunti bei einigen Sachen (CLI kostet mich viel Zeit+Energie) und würde mich auch ans basteln ranwagen... Hab allerdings null Kenntnisse in Programmierung.

Fällt euch dazu was ein? Kein Plan. #Linux

@pandanouk talking about it is key for me. Figuring out the needs of all people involved and finding compromises that work for everyone.
Also, what I usually do: I try to do something that is fun for me but something the person I miss is not into. Certain video games or programming do the try for me. It's kind of an act of defiance, something along the lines of "okay, you have fun. Well, *I* can have fun too!" and will this sound counterproductive, it helps me a lot.

Hey #polyamorous people and #relationshipanarchists, how do you deal with feelings of jealousy and guilt when it comes to relationships? Are you taking proactive steps before they can happen? Are you talking about that with your partner(s)?

I would like to know new ways of dealing with this.

When we have these big communities of people and we're all traumatized and we all have our own mental illnesses and we all have our abandonment issues... it's so tempting to try and help each other in every way we can but codependency is a MAJOR risk you need to be aware of and even if you aren't trying to let it happen, even if you aren't trying to manipulate someone, it frequently happens. It happens most often when we "play therapist"

It's one thing for me to do mental health first aid when my friend has a panic attack; or for me to help a friend de-stress by hanging out, cooking, and listening to their problems.

It's another thing for me to attempt to solve their problems, to attempt to fix them, to be the person to help them work on their problem behaviors and do the things that therapists do. There are ways to support which are not the role of a therapist
