It has “1.4L” embossed into the glass :)! it’s just hard to see in the photos

Hmm I might’ve been overambitious. Searching “glass water bottle with measurements” gets a few Amazon results but so many of them have “motivational” time labels but no ml markings…

There are quite a few listings for chemistry reagent type containers, too, which could maybe work?

The best thing I’ve found is this from Dunelm might be what you’re after?

they did a chocolate lemon decades ago, but it was with dark chocolate, wasn’t popular & got discontinued. I think they should try again but with white chocolate

you can get glass water bottles with millilitre markings on with glass lids

Nausicaa is my favourite film :)! the soundtrack is so bizarre in the best way

(the last film I watched was Kiki’s delivery service, also recommend that to everyone! it’s a lot more relaxing and kid-friendly than Nausicaa though)

Using “,” as ellipses here is a pretty interesting tone indication feature!

On Tumblr, “…” ended up having connotations of judgement or anger, so to avoid that, people evolved to use “,” as a softer version (often implying a more silly/amused tone) instead !

Hugely agree, those would all be fantastic additions.

Yeah, there’s definitely a difference between curricula, what’s focussed on in classrooms, and exam assessment criteria, but they’re supposed to be cohesive.

I remember one of my big pieces of coursework was “writing from the perspective of an advertiser,” and we had loads of lessons on identifying bias. I was taught in school that “red top magazines” are “less honest and more emotive” than “broadsheet newspapers.”

Presumably not everyone had the same experience though: I mentioned this offhand and my friend told me “surely that’s illegal to teach in a classroom?!”

This is actually a very minimal change to the already existing curriculum - the (compulsory) English Language GCSE is 50% “Critical reading and comprehension”

Gov UK states all specifications must include:

“identifying bias and misuse of evidence, including distinguishing between statements that are supported by evidence and those that are not; reflecting critically and evaluatively on text”

Most people presumably… “forgot”? but this has been in the curriculum for decades

I don’t have a telegraph account - someone summarise?

If you’re anxious about existing in violent situations, SUTR (and similar local organisations) will likely host more friendly community solidarity events near you, in addition to the counter protests.

If you’re still anxious about those, reaching out to your community’s vulnerable organisations / mosques and offering support. On a smaller scale, reach out to local shops and friends.

Edit to say also: Talk to the people running and attending the anti-racist protests! Get to know them - there’s safety in numbers but there’s even more safety in community

It’s only really fine if someone calls me an appearance-based compliment if they’re my partner or a woman that I’m close to.

I suppose up until now, I wrongfully assumed we were all banned from shitting in public

this is a fab idea :)! thank you for workin on it

Whilst I do believe in deplatforming, I wouldn’t call fediverse comment sections a platform.

Checking in on concerning individuals and helping them realise that they’re being unkind, is an important but exhausting role in society - and it’s good if mods aren’t the only ones doing it!

Parts of the fediverse are small enough of a community that you can give a helping hand to these people and break them out of their reactionary/propaganda bubbles.

You’re helping to keep the community kind - thank you for doing it

not to be confused with Potoooooooos !

all you need to know is that dogs are fluffye! no need to look at the other comments :)!

My first thought was that 40% was low… but I suppose I’ve never been a first time buyer, so they probably have higher salaries than I do

It’s frustrating how slow the scientific review process can be, especially when you know that evidence can often be twisted or “misinterpreted” by policymakers, and even more frustratingly so when people’s lives are at stake.

Here’s hoping this review is kind, competent, quick, clear, and ethical.
