Those people who live with a partner,or at least not solo!
How would you feel about doing a ‘swap’ for a week with your partner on all the things you each do ‘at home’?
That includes everything from housework to walking the dog to the ‘mental load’ of remembering, organising what needs to be done etc.
Do you think you would cope ok? How about your partner,if they had to do what you do every week?

I have a cousin who lives in Denmark,he likes it there well enough… what do you think of this article? Is it realistic or not?
Also those who live in other parts of Scandinavia or the Nordics… what do you think? Does it also apply to your country?
I know it’s Sunday morning and we should be talking about more lighthearted stuff, but… It is insane that people are dying from measles in the year of our lord 2025, and in countries with perfectly adequate, free access to vaccination. Insane! I have no more words for it. It makes me want to grab people by the shoulders and shake them. It is so frustrating.
Do you have a least favorite item to go clothes shopping for? I guess for me it’s jeans (like many other people). I usually wear US size 28 or 29. Yesterday I tried on two jeans, both 29, from the same brand. The first one was labelled as “perfect fit” or something, and I couldn’t even put my leg through it. I was so frustrated, I almost didn’t even try the second one. And then I did, and it was almost a little too big? WTF. There’s just no rhyme and reason to it.
does anyone here use Lemmy? what do you think of it? do you recommend it?
My volleyball team is playing the second day of a tournament today. Our coaches accidentally put us in division 1 when we are a division 2 team. Despite being in a harder division we are doing good. We have lost every match, but have scored some points.
