@davidaugust@mastodon.onlineDuring WWII, when someone was sent to a concentration/death camp, the word used to describe it is “deported” to the camp.
The “mass deportations” currently being suggested today use the word “deportations” in the same way.

Да не волшебной, а кишечной, которую обнаружили в салатах оливье в крупнейших гипермаркетах: «Ашан», «Магнит», «Лента», «О’кей», «Глобус».
Ранее саниспекторы нашли такой же «ингредиент» в элитном кроличьем фарше по цене более 1000 рублей за килограмм.
Наличие кишечной палочки, живущей в самом конце желудочно-кишечного тракта, говорит лишь об одном: после посещения туалета повара просто не моют руки и заносят своё «содержимое» в продукты. Ну и почти все магази…

Women were not allowed pockets

@isewvinyl@sunny.gardenAfter wearing my cargo pants yesterday and being spoiled by decent sized pockets (I could fit my phone in the front pocket, keys, and lipstick without it falling out when I sit) I’m pissed again about the pockets in my current pants, back pocket I can only put my hand up to my second knuckle in the back (might fit a lipstick but it would fall out) and the front ones, stuff keeps falling out when I sit. I’m going to lengthen the pockets based on the cargo pants pockets, I don’t care if it ‘ruins the line of the pants, and adds bulkiness’ because as I always say, women’s pockets, when pants have them, are bullshit. And I don’t care if they make me look fat because I value function and comfort more. My son can fit a whole keyboard in his. I’ve been gradually lengthening my pockets as I get to them, or wearing a Fanny pack, but had to go to a funeral Sunday and got pissed again about my pockets. I want to empower other women with decent pockets, so we can take over. That poem about seditious pockets comes to mind. Or at least carry phones and keys. Will post photos. #sewing #pockets #womenspants

Please stay up to date with your self exams and mammograms, and if you have an ailment that’s not clearing up, keep seeing doctors until they figure out what it is, get second opinions! Don’t wait.
