Welcome to the weekly mental health thread for Avocados. Feel free to talk about anything you need to – what’s driving you crazy, what’s working in or out of therapy, how your health care plan sucks. This is a safe space to let loose on some mental health issues. We’re all here for support, but be careful about offering advice, unless it’s asked for. Sometimes we just need to get things … Continue reading Mental Health Thread 7.11.2018

Sexism on the Avocado: Part 2

MrsLangdonAlger

Hey everyone! Back on the Disqus days, we had a discussion about sexism on the Avocado. Highlighted issues at the time included overly aggressive flirting/innuendo, objectification of female celebrities, casual sexism, and playing Devil’s Advocate or denying sexism. I think it’s time we discussed this topic again. The Avocado is often one of the most supportive and kind places on the Internet, but we still have our faults, and we can still be better. I’d like to open up the floor for female-identified people to discuss their experiences with experiencing or observing sexism here, and also to talk more generally … Continue reading Sexism on the Avocado: Part 2

Behind the Scenes of Leader Beans

MrsLangdonAlger

We’ve had a lot of curiosity over the years about how being a mod here works and what mods see, so I thought I’d provide a little informational thread on mod basics and what we as mods do/see. Most of what we do is clearing the queue of posts that end up there, either because they are flagged or because they’re caught in one of Disqus’ various filters (for example, we don’t filter “I just paid”, Disqus does). Comments can be filtered automatically by Disqus when users have a low reputation, which is basically a ratio of posts vs. flags/spam … Continue reading Behind the Scenes of Leader Beans

Glorious 25th of May Night Thread

MrsLangdonAlger

“How do they rise up?” The People’s Revolution in the wonderful Discworld books took place on the Glorious 25th of May, in which the people of Ankh-Morpork formed the People’s Republic of Treacle Mine Road and Sam Vimes helped save the Republic. Today, some fans wear the lilac ostensibly in remembrance of those who lost their lives, but really as a remembrance of Sir Terry Pratchett. Terry Pratchett was one of the best and bravest of us. He wrote some of the best books around, cared deeply about social justice and equality, fought valiantly for the right of individuals to … Continue reading Glorious 25th of May Night Thread
