I genuinely love laundry so I’m not sure I’m the best person to comment but here are a few suggestions:

• as others have said, get a set of drawers so that you can just chuck different clothing items in different drawers. If there’s no space for that you could get some storage containers/baskets for smaller items in your closet.

• Try rolling up your clothes rather than folding them. This is often recommended for packing but I always do it. It saves space and you can roll a bunch of clothes quickly and they’re easy to move from where you’re folding to the wardrobe. This image gives a rough idea, but you can find tonnes of videos as well:

Yeah I feel like his line of reasoning is kinda flawed.

When we showed “300” at the Berlin Film Festival this exact same thing happened. There was immediate discourse around the movie, and everyone booed and walked out. It was our first time showing the movie and we were like, “What the fuck.” They were saying it was “a disaster,” “the worst movie ever” and a “fascist” movie. Then we had a press conference where they were asking me all these questions, like, “Are you a fascist filmmaker?” “300” is one of the gayest movies ever made. I always go, “Look, there are few movies where people come in straight and come out gay, and ‘300’ is one of them.”

Like beyond individual fascists/Republicans/whoever being gay, homoeroticism can be very entangled with fascism, there’s a lot of emphasis placed on ideal male bodies both in the US at the moment and historically. I couldn’t find the exact article I was thinking of, but I think this essay goes into the history quite a bit:

[gay men’s] collaboration with Nazism presented a paradox: while Nazism exterminated gay people, it also glorified men and masculinity. Even among those with only a superficial knowledge of history, Nazism — also known as German fascism — is associated with male power. The Nazi soldier, the elite of a totalitarian society, embodies performative masculinity in a literal sense. His actions and image convey a specific cultural understanding of masculinity: machismo, militarism, heroism, and whiteness. He is both cruel and unapproachable, yet he can also evoke unbridled sexual desire — as if he has just stepped off the set of an erotic photo shoot or gay pornography film.

I used Tildes quite a bit for about a year or so, then dropped off in favour of Lemmy. I actually went back for the first time in ages the other week, saw this post and it immediately reminded me why I left.

The reason this seems to have been posted is because of people calling for new tools to moderate or curate their experience and Demios is basically saying these requests are pointless because they’re never going to be implemented.

The people asking for these tools seem to be identifying a fundamental problem with Tildes but because of the way it’s structured I don’t think anything suggested would actually make much of a difference.

One problem is that Demios is the one and only moderator and this is apparently never going to change. This means that problematic content can be slow to be removed, and on the flip side seemingly benign posts can be locked or deleted without explanation. People on Tildes who are happy with this call it the ‘benevolent dictator’ model, and it’s incredibly frustrating unless your views align with those of the one and only mod. This inevitably means that the community self selects to be of a similar mindset.

The other major problem as I see it is the overall structure. Coming from Reddit (or Lemmy) it looks like it is broken up into smaller communities that you can select from the sidebar. But in fact these function more like tags, because everyone is subbed to and can post under any of them. This manifests with the life.women tag which was introduced when I was active on Tildes. Initially this felt like a positive thing, and a place for women to discuss issues relevant to them. However, it’s impossible to curate who or what can be posted under that tag so what you ended up with lots of men arguing in the comments about women’s life experiences and no way to block them. (Compare this to WomensStuff on Lemmy which manages to be inclusive while remaining a safe space.)

Tildes works a select group of people, but for everyone else I think it just ends up a frustrating experience.

You’d be wrong on that I’m afraid:

The Black and White Minstrel Show is a British light entertainment show on BBC prime-time television that ran from 1958 to 1978. The weekly variety show presented traditional American minstrel and country songs, as well as show tunes and music hall numbers, lavish costuming and often with cast members in blackface.

My dad worked at Gatwick Airport as a cleaner in the 70s when he was a teenager. His first week there, a woman drops a duty free bag with a bottle of booze in it and he rushes over to clean it up. He’s just about to put the bag, full of liquid booze and broken glass, in the bin when one of the senior porters stops him and tells him to bring it in the back. Turns out they had a filtration system in the break room for this exact scenario. They’d pour the booze out of the plastic bag and through a sieve that would collect all the broken glass, it would all go into a big container at the bottom and voila, free booze! They offered my dad some, but he declined. Anyway, I guess if you were working at Gatwick in the 70s you could have had a chance to drink some airport jungle juice, you’d just need to be brave enough.

You can get bath crayons for kids that let you write directly on the wall of the shower or w/e. Searching brings up lots of options…
