$24 AUD ($16.30 USD) for 500 grams of coffee a month. I drink a cup a day and it’s enough for me and my partner to get through. I use a stovetop moka pot and get beans from the local markets here in melbourne :-)

pluto ! I loved the manga and randomly found out that it got an anime adaptation last year. beautiful intense sci fi about sentient robots

a secret, maybe unknown to you, rule of 196 is that we support all our trans members. it’s okay, you didn’t know.

he is!

jackson is a great resource haha, thanks! I suppose it’s somewhere between boredom, attention and generally being quite vocal.

other communities, friends dms, discord!

that’s true. it’s better that we’ve made our own post for instance-only discussion. Idk I don’t blame the reaction since it puts them in a tough spot where they feel inclined to defend themselves. but aside from a post literally being about them I haven’t seen them interact aggressively much on our instance.

I get that people aren’t a fan of their type of leftist politics but I don’t think they really do that much harm. I at least haven’t seen any brigading or vitriol from them and I think they’re valuable as a trans-positive space.
