  • I don’t have the know how to talk about safety and privacy, but here are some caveats.

    I think you have to use their client and can’t add your adress to 3rd party clients like thunderbird. Their client is however nice to work with.

    If you forgot your password, the only way to change it is by using a key that is given to you after account creation. Keep it safe! Check for spelling errors If you lost the note or it’s not in you passwordmanager or whatever you use, your account is not recoverable. Their support can’t help you reset your pw.

    Other than that they make email encryption pretty easy with a checkbox right under the recipient in the email editor.

    Another handy feature are the aliases. (Payed feature) You can set up some email adresses for certain purposes, and filter their traffic into different inboxes quite easily. If one of them.get’s compromised, deactivate and move in. Your master adress is probably still usable.

    What I do not like is the fact that paying customers get support first.


  • Been there. I feel that stating your needs is often enough. Instead of explaining complicated and intimate thoughts/emotions tell the other person “I need some time for myself” or “I don’t want to speak about this topic” etc. … It strikes the balance between not making yourself vulnerable and setting boundaries.

    Self check: maybe I feel this way because I became more happy with myself lately. Therefore: if it doesn’t work for you, that’s okay.














  • but it’s not an ADHD “pick up every hobby” friendly one

    That’s true. I was in luck and there was a blacksmith in town who opens his workshop to kids on occasion or travels to job conventions and brought his tools with him. Maybe there are comparable activities/ offers near you, which I can highly recommend. Not only will you not have to worry about tools and materials, most importantly there will be a “teacher” around.

    If you find something and decide to check it out, have fun! :)


  • Blacksmithing is one of the few hobbies that a guy probably can’t teach his girlfriend because women usually use a different technique to make up for strength differences.

    Me, a woman who tried blacksmithing before: Don’t use spring steel or other metals that are hard to manipulate/hammer into shape when starting off. Don’t start with a sword, start with bending and twisting a nail into… whatever. If they like the hobby they’ll stick to it and the muscle will build over time. And if it doesn’t: power tools.
