I write a weekly blog with the simplest HTML I could come up with. Everything done by hand with a text editor and FTP client. Nowadays I'm getting requests to add an RSS/Atom feed - which the blog had back in the old CMS days, when I used WordPress or whatever. But now that I have this low-tech approach, is there an easy way to set up an RSS or Atom feed? I don't want to go back to a CMS just for this reason.

My sister is breaking up with her boyfriend this weekend and moving her stuff out of his house on the same day due to her boyfriend's month+ long manic bipolar episode which he refuses to acknowledge as an ongoing health emergency. I'm going to help her move her stuff out in one swift event. But he's scary at the moment, and I am anxious about how this will play out. Details below.

My public two-year college admissions office - of which I am a staff member - wants to take up marketing's suggestion that they contact previous applicants who did not matriculate for a "study" asking them their reasons, with an offer of entry into a drawing for a $100 gift card as an incentive to participate.

I know you are not my (or my mom's) mental health professionals but there is zero chance of my mother ever visiting a mental health professional and I'm just hoping someone with similar experiences might be able to give some insight into the decades long mystery of why my mom is so different from everyone else I've ever met.

We've been trying to grow our social media presence. Lately (I'd say it's been the past three or four months, but the last six weeks especially), Facebook is actively working against us. How do we get Facebook to allow our content?

What factors should I consider in deciding whether to ask for an accommodation at work? I have been WFH since March. They now want me to come back in unless I have an accommodation through HR. Unbeknownst to them, I have cancer and could probably get one. It’s not an aggressive cancer and I’m not currently in treatment. It might not actually be an enhanced risk, but I bet my oncologist would give me the documentation I need. What are all the possible downsides of doing this?

Last night, me and my partner ventured to a bar (all social distanced and sat outside!) and while we were walking home, I made a comment about how we drink quite a bit when we're together and maybe we should try having fun without alcohol, in the prospect of getting healthy / in shape. He responded by saying he felt like he had no hobbies, and when I'm not staying at his flat, he gets really lonely. What should I do?

I saw a Confederacy apologist unloading a new-to-me argument for the reason the southern states seceded from the union: that they paid disproportionately more in taxes than northern states, and received little in return. There are a number of websites advancing this argument, but my quick perusal suggests they're all run by Confederacy apologists. I'm wondering if there's anything to this argument, and if not, what sources debunk it.

I have a viking mixer, and I have a problem It is a Viking professional 7 qt, and while using it to mix some pretty stiff dough, the dough mixer attachment snapped off. not only did it snap, it snapped below where I could grab what was left of it and twist it out. I have tried taking it apart, to no avail. Does anyone have an idea, other than send it back to Viking?

While taking advantage of all the COVID down time during PRIDE, I have been reading and listening to books (also this), as well as an amazing podcast to understand more of the history and development of my community, While these are amazing for filling in the gaps, I would like to read some of the original gay publications/source documents, especially "The Native" which was very active in the initial AIDS crisis. Unfortunately my googling hasn't helped - are there any recommendations? Thanks

“An estimated 92 percent of all women who receive a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome choose to terminate their pregnancies, according to research reviewed by Dr. Brian Skotko, a pediatric geneticist at Children's Hospital Boston.” However when I went looking for women sharing their first person accounts of getting an abortion in this scenario, I found one (via Shout Your Abortion). Where are the first person accounts?

I purchased some KN95 masks -- they are now easily available from any number of vendors, eBay is flooded with them. However, the masks I purchased, which of course looked just fine on the model wearing it, they are about the size my fist, and are barely adequate, They are not in fact adequate at all. Have your purchased KN95 masks that are easily large enough for you? Looking to spend $1.00 -- $1.50 apiece, 10-25 masks. Any help appreciated.

Inspired by a recent Twitter conversation – What's this sort of word-game where you link similar-sounding words by their definitions? My family has played it, often on long car rides, and I've seen many Twitter threads of it... my earliest memory of it is, I think, some TV show for kids, but I'm not sure if it was supposed to be educational or funny.

Pretty much what it says. We have 50% custody, the child is currently with other parent, other parent has told me that they will now keep the child because of unspecified quarantine issues.

On Wednesday, March 12, Seattle Public Schools announced that schools would be closed for at least two weeks. On Thursday, March 13, Washington state governor Jay Inslee ordered the closure of all King County public schools (including Seattle Public Schools) for a minimum of six weeks. Why was the closure extended by a month one day after it was first announced? Disagreement between state and local authorities? New information regarding the spread of the virus? Some other reason?

I'm an assigned male at birth (AMAB) non-binary person. I have some mild gender dysphoria with my face, which I want to look a bit more feminine. I'm happy with my chest as is and would be unhappy and dysphoric with full-blown breasts. I'm a chunky person so I kind of have titties already and I don't mind them at all. I think I'd be okay with a slight amount of titty growth. Is it possible to get the facially feminizing effects of low-dose hormone replacement therapy without experiencing significant top growth?

My SO/partner had a sexual encounter with another person. She recently told me. What’s really difficult is that when she told me, I had to ask many questions from her to get the full truth, and I kind of feel like actually hurt more by how much I had to try. How should I move forward, if at all?

I don't really expect this question to be "answered", because there's really no way to do so. But I think that attempts to answer it would lead to some good recommendations, so... A couple of decades ago, I was in a bar and heard a song. I have a few more details, but not many. What was the song?

For a month or two I've been keeping an intermittent eye on a used book being sold on Amazon by 3-4 sellers for ~$30-40. The price hadn't changed much when I looked a week or two ago, but today all four sellers are listing it for over $900(!) What gives?
