I got a notification that someone used my password to log in from an unknown device and location. I don’t even use this password other places so not sure how this is possible. I’m sure it wasn’t me

They locked my account, I unlocked it and found out they had disabled 2FA “to protect my security” (wtf)

I changed password, re added 2FA w a new key, am I okay now? do people just brute force all of them or is someone trying to hack me?

I love Sex in the City, Love Island, The Bachelor, reality TV, etc as much as the next person. I grew up reading YA novels and was so excited to fall in love and date boys when I was older. I love talking about love lives, it could be my favorite topic.

So this is not easy for me to say: I think decentering men at a cultural level requires better media that isn’t centered around, well, men.

Guys TV is not like this. They watch fuckass youtube videos about some guy talking about running shoes or building something or memes. Marvel, sci fi, etc. These may have some sort of love life but it’s not the main focus. IMO this makes it easier for them to not center women- the media you consume affects your thoughts, especially in an age of high screen time.

That being said, IDGAF about sci fi or finance or marvel or most traditional male interests. There’s gotta be some sort of replacement that isn’t about men, male interests, or aesthetics.

So what is it? How do we prioritize and popularize more media that doesn’t center men? In 2026 why is so much of the popular shows etc targeted towards women still revolving around (usually hetero) dating?

I mostly mean this on a large, cultural scale but also the individual level.

I see a lot of general lash lifts on google but they’re not korean lash lifts, which I heard are less irritating

I don’t have a car so ideally in sf or close to it if anyone knows of anywhere!

wondering if a small carry on suitcase would be a mistake at hostels

I get some mild chronic upper trap/neck pain so would like to not have a backpack but if i’m yanking the suitcase up stairs, it will be even worse

going to portugal (hostels) and then london (hotels)

can afford taxis ubers everywhere probably
