A depressing article as a whole, but the section on infibulation was an especially horrific read.

There isn’t a reliable way to test for virginity as both the hymen and vaginal laxity vary with individual anatomy (most hymens partially cover the vagina and have one or more openings, but some women are born without any openings in the hymen or without a hymen altogether), the hymen can tear from non-sexual activity, the hymen may be flexible enough that penetration doesn’t result in tearing, and bleeding can be caused by injuries to vaginal walls rather than from damage to the hymen itself which has few blood vessels.

Memes are like farts, if you have to force them, they’re probably crap. Let them arise organically, whatever the platform.

Some kind of non-irritating sound or music without voices to confirm the call hasn’t been disconnected in case I zone out or switch to another task.

• View by “all”, subscribe to communities you’re interested in and block the ones you don’t want to see. Fediverse is still small enough that it’s relatively easy to sort through.
• Use the search bar to look for specific keywords for topics that interest you. Depending on your interface, you probably have some version of an “explore communities” page where you can see what’s popular.
• Sometimes I’ll find communities by seeing what other users with similar interests interact with on their profiles.

Totally nuts, but very punny 😁 happy Halloween!
