Best Concert Ear Plugs in 2025: Lab Tested HearAdvisor has tested all the most popular concert ear plugs for 2025. Compare performance and listen to audio samples.

something sort of like this exists at www.hearadvisor.com/earplug-rank...! my use-case is [autistically protecting my ears from] loud music rather than general daily wear but they cover some fairly low-rated options

it's always really fascinating to see the conversation around trans women in a women's space oriented around the perpetual idea that the trans woman is a potential threat and never that she might be acutely vulnerable to violence from her surrounding peers in such a space as a marginalized woman

this also partially stems from the broad cultural idea that a trans woman can never be a victim to violence or abuse i.e. whatever happens to her is deserved or justified. people of all genders can be acutely aware of the ways they can perpetuate violence ... except when it comes to this situation

instructions unclear my council tax bill is now addressed to Ms The Vyper. I swear I spelled it right on the form

each name change is actually prefigured by some form of clue. still haven't worked out the intermediate steps but apparently in another few iterations I'll end up with RENO

I gotta change my name *again*?

Thank goodness for lesbians

solidarity; take care of yourself. your work lately has been incredible :)

it's wavy I swear

the 15th anniversary remaster cover for the fat of the land just adding more crabs is one of the funniest album covers I’ve ever seen. i think about it all the time

the first time I came across Dan Bongino's name I thought he was a parody of that Type of Guy; the second time, I inadvertently re-invented it from first principles while making up silly names for my cat and riffing on "the Bongus", and it took me out for a full five minutes

we need robust public transit and urban densification so beautiful and handsome lesbians in their 30s can travel around the city at night drinking things under the gleaming lights and contemplating their jobs, exes, and rivals

"rat sanitizer" would be compelling either as a product or as a job. or as a rat that sanitises, especially if unionised

you skipped over the shot of a rat to establish it's a Spooky location but it actually looks kinda sweet. this was one of my favourite episodes because of a half-second smile Reid gives Morgan

this or cutting out all of the investigations of increasingly tenuous serial killers would've kept me watching it. just leave me the obligatory post opening credits scene where they talk about federal jurisdiction and the fluffy polycule stuff and i'm a happy woman

the first time I ever saw Criminal Minds was after my friends had talked at length about Shemar; I only half paid attention and thought at one point he said "that's Shemar".

thus, I came to believe this was the name of his character, and he regularly confirmed this with his cool catchphrase

I once picked up a Nintendo Wii from a newsagents in this delightfully combative neighbourhood

(my point above was that "4-6 hours after my last dose" was, definitionally, not a "trough level".)

yup! I do half when I get up, half in the evenings, otherwise I get late-night "flushes"; until the new doc I postponed the morning dose and booked my test first thing to get an actual trough level. explained all of this to them... ask me how I became an advocate for lying to clinicians

best of both worlds: my doctor said to arrange my test between 4-6 hours after taking my daily gel because "we want to know the trough level". they're non-binary

Very dashing!

i find it intensely satisfying to combine this one with a dainty little wave

It's SO WILD that the Moon exists!!

Consider, She is:

-RIGHT up there
-Approximately as big across as The Continental United States
-Made of rocks
-Again, She is RIGHT up there!
-You can SEE Her
-She lives in Space
-She lives in SPACE and you can SEE Her
