This is a simple one that I still get a craving for every once in a while: https://www.everyplate.com/recipes/beef-shepherds-pie-62f1622f2c02226365032497
I try to minimize my consumption of red meat but you can adjust the proportion or replace it with meat substitutes and it's still really good.
Would you be willing to share the recipe? I have made them a few times for holidays and I find that I just can't compete with store bought. I like most my other pies more than store bought pies but apple is just so particular.
Women only spaces have been a popular and important part of feminist and women's movement globally. It's ok if it's not right for you but it's reductive to act like it serves no purpose. It's important for marginalized communities to be able to gather and discuss their experiences.
I think it's nice that the mod has given their time to fostering a community of women supporting women and it's insulting for you to call it insane. It's part of a long tradition of women carving out space for themselves. She's not mandating you participate. Just politely asking people to follow the rules. It's like calling it insane that a book club only allow people who have read the book to talk about it. Others can listen in and talk about it elsewhere if needed but book club is for people who read the book to discuss it with other people who also read it.
Just a basic overview if you're honestly unfamiliar with the concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women-only_space
I am OP. I said nothing about inclusive or exclusive spaces. The brackets in my title were added because it's a community rule and I was understandably asked to add that.
What in the post suggests anything about inclusive or exclusive anything? I was noticing a pattern and sharing my annoyance at it. I also shared what I believe to be the cause of the pattern. I did not say it shouldn't be allowed or that they were bad people. I also made it clear I didn't believe it to be sexism and that the gender of the person I would originally be speaking to seemed largely irrelevant. Not sure how this would be interpreted as exclusionary.
You're probably right. Plus I'm so confrontation averse I don't think I would send it regardless.
Yes. I think remember one where people read a story and the name was changed and when it was a male name they gave positive words like leader and decisive and with a female name it was negative like pushy and demanding.
This isn't exactly what I was talking about but came up immediately on a search: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/12/10/study-finds-gender-perception-affects-evaluations
I'm glad they federated. I would not have found this community otherwise and Lemmy is so small I don't think it'd make sense to make the community harder to find. I wonder if they can set up a flared users only situation. I'm not sure what things look like on the mod side of Lemmy though.
I look forward to seeing it!
I should have gone the hammer route. Mine is a very small press that fits in your hand and I don't have the grip strength. Idk who would lol.
I totally get the concern. I did the hardware on my latest project first for that exact reason 😅 I almost ruined an entire piece because I messed up a grommet and decided never again lol
That's so sweet! I actually picked it up to make a friend a toy!
I have not looked into groups yet. I'm still pretty new to it and I'm involved in a lot of groups already just none that are craft related. I don't think I'd have time for another group and I'd feel guilty just showing up for one meeting and asking for help and potentially never going back lol. I figure I'll keep at it for a bit longer before trying that route. Thank you for the suggestion though!
Agree all around. I saw a thread recently about street harassment and men were just circlejerking about how women are the ones targeting them 🙄
I tried to start an all female gaming server recently but of course I got a bunch of responses from men explaining how that's sexist and some other presumably well meaning guys that explained that they are feminists and understand if I don't want men but would be happy to join if I ever wanted additional people. It's hard to explain that messaging in the first place regardless of if they were nice about it is an issue. I said women only and I meant women only. They clearly saw that and still replied. I understand they were polite but that's really not the point.
Thanks for sharing! I have some chips left over from another recipe and I've been thinking about what to do with them. Looking forward to trying this tonight!
