Product/ad, warm jeans
There's a local designer that put together an insulated pant design.
I put off ordering a pair for a while because they're a little expensive and I wasn't sure if they'd fit. I ordered a pair about a week ago and they arrived yesterday!
I ordered a pair of women's high rise classic pants in 'midnight'.
First impressions: the black isn't a true black, and the fabric has a sort of a 'tech wear' feel to it. I was expecting something a little thicker, like a flannel lined jean, but these are substantially thinner than that. The fit is perfect and they're pretty comfy.
It doesn't seem like they're selling that much, which makes me kinda sad because the designer was super nice when I had some questions about my order, and they're pretty warm and comfy.
If you've got a little dosh to spare and someone in your life with cold legs, maybe consider picking up a pair. They're made by a local woman of color and she ships.

These are audio games. When playing these records on a turntable, the stylus enters one of several grooves, with each groove producing a different series of recordings of events in a baseball or football game. The record is played several times for both players to score points.

Hi! My internet radio station (mountaintown.fm) is currently being played in several local businesses in Ellijay GA.
We're accepting submissions for music to play on the radio, if you'd like your band to be heard by folks from and traveling to Ellijay, GA, and the handful of folks that listen online, HMU!
We got the first snow of the season last night. This morning was hushed and crisp and otherworldly.

@tindall Scrolling through the thread I see a lot of people talking about modern interfaces and I partially agree, most forums suck on mobile.
But I also really miss the web design vibe forums have, and I feel like Discourse in its design really misses that old forum vibe.
A project I've been a member of has recently set up Invision as their forum, and while its sadly not FOSS its design has a far better vibe to it in my opinion.
Maybe this is part nostalgia, but it's a very strong feeling I have.

If it's a "volunteer" or "community service" thing, ask yourself:
🍍 Is it exploitation? Are private parties being enriched at the expense of the less powerful in exchange for "exposure," "experience" or vague promises that it will "help your career"?
🍍 Is this a way of giving necessary work that is uncompensated and unrecognized to women, while freeing men to advance their careers?
🍍 Is this an opportunity that is only accessible to those who are already well-off, because it is un-paid?

Covid vax, conspiracy shitpost
5G upgrade just dropped. Got some better longevity, improved anti-virus security features. I wish it'd patch some existing sound fidelity issues, but the quality of life still isn't too bad.
I'll be resting up a bit today, letting the immune system apply the patch. Huzzah for boosters!

psa: diwali 🪔 tw: caste violence
friendly reminder that not all indians celebrate diwali. it is specifically celebrated savarna/upper caste hindus but is rooted in violence toward dalit, bahujan, and adivasi/indigenous peoples both in its traditions and scriptures and its societal impact on these communities for the last 1000+ years.
it’s also often a time of violence toward muslims and religious minorities (much like other savarna holidays).
so proceed with a little care, leave your assumptions, and bring the desire to unlearn/relearn when you are faced with a holiday like this from a place/region/culture you probably don’t know much about to begin with.
for more info, check out content from @dalitdiva and @other_collective on twitter or instagram. or ask me and we can talk about it resources.
