Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy 

May 7th is the Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy. All children should be protected from genital cutting before they can consent to it, whether they are male, female, or intersex. Everyone deserves the right to do what they want with their own body. genital-autonomy.de/

Essential workers don't need cheering in the streets, they don't need fucking military tributes in the form of fucking Blue Angels flyovers, they need to be respected at the institutional level. That means pay increases, proper safety equipment and training, guaranteed time off to recover physically and mentally from the grueling nature of their work, and health care that won't bankrupt them.

Anything else is meant to keep you distracted.

Anyone have a recipe for making licorice candy out of just licorice root, flour, and molasses?

(boosts welcome!)

I improved the soldering on my porta pro mod a bit last night, and I made the cables removable. I don't have the two pin iem jacks that I ordered for it yet, so I made my own with some breadboard cable ends and a pair of pliers. Now I can unplug the bluetooth adapters if I want to use it with a cable. It's a much sturdier connection than soldering the wires directly to the pins.
Apparently these bluetooth modules will only work with devices that support BT5.0, so it won't connect to my desk phone at work. I'd like something that supports pairing to multiple devices simultaneously, but this works well for listening to music from my phone.

I just remembered that I have a copy of Morrowind, and that OpenMW exists. This is exactly what I need right now. 😊 A fresh new game packed to the brim with both official and community made content. 😊

I was considering either buying the original Diablo or biting the bullet and just playing Skyrim, but this is even better. 😊 I want to get lost in an open world for a while. 😊

I just made my Porta Pros wireless. I soldered on a TRN BT20, and glued the receivers on the frame. My soldering was pretty terrible, I may end up redoing it. They work well though, the mic is clear, and the range is good. I've heard that the official wireless porta pros have terrible range that doesn't even always reach to your pocket. These worked from a few rooms away. They also don't have the wire going between the cups like the official wireless model has.
