Spacefem.com is a small community owned & run by some regular people. Not a company. We are not out to recruit you for data mining purposes, there is no venture capital exit strategy, no one is asking about profit margins or even making this a full time job. There are no ads. Posts here are not a commodity to be sold. We are just a fun group of people who like chatting about creativity, nerdy things, feminism, and sometimes pants. This site started over a decade ago and hasn't even changed colors. It is a safe, inclusive place to share opinions, rant, celebrate, cuss or just take stupid quizzes. We were around before every corporate social media site had to "connect" you and we'll be around when they're all gone.

Sun May 20 3:00 PMI like to sew. This calculator tells you how to make an arc for any skirt you've got the fabric for - just type in your measurements.
Sun May 20 3:00 AMAre you a young single gal wondering if you need a man? Take our quiz.
Sat May 19 3:00 AMThe post-op sore throat really sucks... I know it well. Sometimes they are so rough when they put the tube in. I drink a lot of tea with raw honey in it after times like that, and it helps... and eating popsicles. Have you ever seen those empty plastic popsicle molds you can buy at the dollar store? I fill those with half juice and half water and just eat those all day. The sugar gives you a bit of energy too. If the hospital is nice they'll let you use a freezer somewhere.

Fri May 18 3:00 AMI wondered if due dates were accurate. 5,000+ internet friends chimed in. See the charts here.

IDK I apply to a lot of things on it but never hear back from any of them. :(
I think you can ask people to write recommendations on there but I dont' know how that works?
I'm not sure how to get full recommendations but I know that if you list your skills on there you can ask people to add their acknowledgment that yes you know how to do the thing. I think having it as a reference and second more detailed resume is linkedins greatest strength. by Enigma in Careers & Education

Tue May 15 3:00 AMThe fastest introduction I could possibly muster.
Mon May 14 3:00 PMAt one point I convinced myself I disliked Edgar Allen Poe. It was for some superficial reason - disliking the emo fanculture around him. He's great.
It's hard for me to pick one because there are so many kinds of poems. So I'll stick to three, one long narrative poem, one lyrical poem, and one medieval poem.
1. Long narrative -

Mon May 14 2:58 PM Engineering is one of the coolest jobs in the world, but there are so many disciplines it can be a little daunting to choose one for yourself! I wasn't happy with the existing quizzes, they were mostly way too direct (do you like bridges or wires? uh...) or way too career-spammy, and they were all way too serious. So with that in mind I took some personality traits and kinda did my best attempt at mapping them to engineering fields. It's not scientific or accurate because it really doesn't matter, engineers do so many things and move around so much there's no way to predict what path you'll end up on... so relax! This point of this test is to combine the fun of a personality quiz with the usefulness of a career test... hey look at that, fun AND useful? It's getting engineer-y already!
Mon May 14 3:00 AMI thought it was implied that I'm talking about realistic possibilities. One can't deny the possibility altogether of it getting better, if not for the simple fact that Leelah could have played and won the lottery. Or been cast in a movie or had some other great fortune.
But there isn't a plausible way it could have improved. by Pikachu in Ranting
Sat May 12 1:00 PMYes. In the worst one, I was taken to the hospital and had a concussion. I was able to call one person, and it was the wrong person. She contacted the people who were living with me at the time so see if they could help me out (like pick up my dog, who was in the car with me, from the police station) and only told them I had a head injury, in those words! They were out of town and freaking out thinking I was in a coma or going to die. by melsbells in Random

/\ I assumed Rowan meant in their home town?
yes, I meant where I was born (or more technically where I lived after being born, since there was not a hospital in the town I lived in, but I think that probably doesn't really count). by rowan in Random
Tue May 8 3:57 AMHallo! Back in the day I studied Communication Studies at Concordia in Montréal. Now I'm a government statistician but the liberal education, critical thinking and teamwork skills I learned there are still really useful.
I hope the community here makes for a good final essay ;) by metawidget in New Members
Sun May 6 9:10 PMOver the years I've learned to subdue my brilliance because a lot of people completely miss the point of what I'm saying or they take it personally. As I get older I'm becoming like a wild animal that just wants to conserve energy whenever possible, which means meaningful engagements only. I've learned not to cast pearls before swine or try to explain things that are obviously above someone's level of comprehension. I don't mean that condescendingly... it's more to do with that I have always loved sharing knowledge and teaching people things, but now I know to only do it under certain circumstances. When I was younger I gave away far, far too much of my time and energy to people who really didn't deserve it. I'd practically go out of my way for them even if they didn't enthusiastically want it.

Wed May 2 9:00 AMI love going for long walks at night when most people are at home and in bed, blasting my ipod. I can walk huge distances. I'll stop in my favourite parks to stretch on the monkey bars and benches before moving on. I have a rich inner fantasy life so it's win-win when I can exercise my body while letting my imagination run wild to music. Night time is so soothing and I almost never run into anyone, except for the odd person doing the exact same thing I am, lol. Or the occasional cat that wants a little petting and to walk with me for a while.

Wed May 2 8:56 AMEwwwwwwwww splashy toilets are so gross. And why are auto-flushing toilets either INCREDIBLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT FLUSHING or completely unresponsive??? I'm not a huge fan, although I also don't like that people step all over the flusher things on self-flush toilets. by Bork in Ranting
