What does that look like in this situation? I agree, in theory, but _how_ is it applied to a divorce? How does it apply to the financial power imbalance of 'breadwinner' and 'active parent?' I'm also curious, what

Amethyst is pretty nice, though I find I have to restart it once a day at least because it loses an app or two over time.

Not the poster, but also an ex-bay area tech. The amount to which I was steeped in tech due to being able to do things like dumpster dive for computer hardware in the 80s definitely affected my career path, but _that is not a thing anymore_

Instagram's lack of a re-post feature is specifically because their platform was meant for original works, not memes or reposts. It's dismaying that they aren't standing behind that.
