When I'm writing a post, the tool bar at the top is usually greyed out for me, and I can't use any of the tools. Any idea why?

Does this board have, or is it going to have, a policy regarding posts expressing anti-homisexuality, anti-trans, anti-Semitic, and/or other bigoted viewpoints? I specifically mentioned the three I did because someone has hit that trifecta in the "Why men are afraid of plant based meat"...

I'm from VeggieViews, getting a head start in meeting all of you. I've been vegetarian for about three decades, and I've eschewed anything from corpses (such as leather) as long as I've been meat free. About fifteen years ago, I went vegan, but haven't really abided by that for a number of...

Recently, someone commented about being hesitant h buy miso because it comes in large containers and they never use it all. That started me thinking about the various ways I use miso. I seldom use salt; generally, if I feel the need to add salt to a dish, I add some soy sauce or miso instead...

Occasionally I put a thread on ignore because there's something about the thread title that bothers me and that I don't want to see. How does one do that with this new software?

For months, I have not been able to find Just Mayo in the local stores. It appears to be out of stick at online retailers also. I know that Hampton Creek Foods rebranded themselves as Just Foods a while ago, but I'm wondering whether they have gone completely out of business. Anyone know...

A few of us had a brief discussion not long ago about the fact that most of the books we read are written by white people, and most of the characters in those books are white, straight and cis. This thread is for listing authors and books containing characters that may bring some more diversity...

What piece of art speaks to you the most? It can be two dimensional, three dimensional, a song or other piece of music, etc. Or share one in each category.

Major networks to carry Trump's shutdown address

Since trump has announced that he's prepared to have the government shut down for years, I guess we should have a thread about it. This article highlights some of the problems arising from the administration's decision to keep federal parks open without Park Service workers...

I thought it might be interesting to share some stories of ourselves; events, people, places that have had a role in shaping each of us into the individuals we are today. Funny or sad, big or little. Just things that are part of who you are, or that you figure you will remember on your deathbed.

This is not just for U.S. political news, but I'll start with a U.S. bit: It's Jeffries' nomination of Pelosi to the speakership, and it's joyful.

I think many people assume that right wing and white supremacist groups are primarily male. Th is article sheds light on the powerful roles played by women in such groups: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/12/13/american-women-of-the-far-right/ Warning: Some may find this disturbing reading. I...

Elsewhere, it was implied that, with the Democrats taking a majority in the House of Representatives, the worst of the trump presidency is behind us. I think the contrary is true, for a number of reasons. This thread is intended for discussion of the ways, large and small, in which this...

Is there a place for U.S. political news that may not qualify for this thread (personally, I'm afraid of being insufficiently "highbrow") but doesn't meet the facepalm requirement of the other thread? Or should we just not bother posting anything between those two extremes?

a fuzzy brown caterpillar! They normally don't make an appearance until September. What did you see today?

Today I was at Aldi, and the person two in front of me in the checkout lane was a woman, white, very obese and using one of the store's electric scooters. She had two boys with her. I'm not good at guessing ages, but somewhere between 8 and 12. They looked Hispanic. I don't have any idea whether...

IME, people who have never suffered from depression have a hard time really understanding it. At the same time, as someone who has been living with clinical depression for over four decades, I have found it helpful to keep learning as much as possible about it. So, I thought it would be good to...
