Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I absolutely love stardew Valley! Holy socks, I had absolutely forgotten about that gem! I feel like I've been playing it wrong, though. I need to look up a game play strategy or list of achievements and secret / easter eggs etc. I am absolutely going to deep dive that again.
I'll have to check out thrifty business! Sounds fab!
Previously I've loved, (besides Stardew) pvz, otherworlds, ugh, I can't think of any others right now, my brain is too full of rattling screws and lost paperclips or something.
I am trying to get into podcasts. Listening to people talk absolutely helps me power through the drudge of cleaning. I'm trying to declutter my life, currently. I had a move scare (renting and the owners sold, but new owners signed me on, yay!) And I haven't decluttered in years. I either worked a few jobs, so no time, more recently grandson and no supports = zero time. It's a next level of boredom, though, doesn't just feel soul draining, feels like it also drains the souls of my ancestors, it's that boring (gee, I wonder why I avoided it for so long).
Long story short, if you happen to have any podcast recommendations, I'd be hugely grateful.
The Stardew Valley subreddit is chock full of good tips! I normally wouldn't recommend Reddit for anything, but the niche subs are still great. Otherwise, there's really no wrong way to play it!
I started listening to podcasts a lot when my son was a baby and I had to fill that time with something that wasn't revolving around baby care haha. So I get it! Lately I've been really digging:
-This Podcast Will Kill You
-You're Wrong About
-Behind the Bastards
Thanks! I absolutely avoid reddit, but ultimately it is our contributions, I'll give it a go digging over there for some ideas etc, thanks thanks!
Those podcasts sound like they'd be right up my alley, just from the titles alone!
Gosh, I should've left a little description of each now that I think about it haha
This Podcast Will Kill You covers different diseases and health issues. It's two smart ladies talking science and health!
You're Wrong About is a hodge-podge of little deep dives into different subjects. I pick and choose from the catalogue pretty frequently.
Behind the Bastards does heavier episodes on the real bastards in history - I'm currently on their episodes about the dictator Francisco Solano Lopes from Paraguay. Really fascinating stuff!
Oh thanks, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply you should have explained. They're definitely exactly the stuff I'm into. I've always had a deep interest in medicine. It's been kicked up a notch after watching "the pitt". I actually have a couple of podcasts you might like, your explanations reminded me of them I found through tiktok, I'll just go find them and come back. I've been struggling to find a good podcast app since moving away from Spotify because of all the evil.
Eta here's one: "who did what now" Whoever said history was boring obviously wasn't paying attention. Each week, join Katie Charlwood, history harlot and reader of books. as she delves into the people, places and events that make history a bit more interesting.
I’ll definitely be checking out Who Did What Now! That’s right up my alley :) thanks!!
