The carton stuff literally tasted like sweat the one time I tried

This really depends long-term. Not everyone that experiences trauma develops PTSD, but at least speaking for myself, I've had a few decades of hopelessness, helplessness, and a lot of general emotional immaturity for my age. Particularly since so much of it occurred when I was a kid and heard the line about being mature...I regress to that childish mindset often in my 30s still. It's taken a lot of effort to develop the social support I've needed in conjunction with therapy and education to even start the process of actively healing rather than just surviving.

I remember thinking she had dropped it on accident and felt bad for her when I first saw it as a kid. She made a little "oh!" with a look of what I thought was surprise

Lmfao I had to start using the covers for litter boxes since one of mine does this. I feel bad, like I know it's not great for them to feel confined but...I am not letting that continue

My state is trying to constitutionally ban the use of ranked choice systems 🫠 fingers crossed the muppets just drew enough awareness to implement it after we reject this amendment

It would only show the info relating to the account though, right? I don't share my Instagram because I can't figure out how to disconnect it from my Facebook (plus it doesn't embed on discord - very rude), but I don't use my real info for any of my other accounts.

Oh shit, idk why that hadn't clicked for me before. I'm really sorry. Of course that makes sense

Such as increased rates of infertility iirc

I thought that was just me being ADHD lol. I watched from home and paused a few times to do other stuff. I didn't think it was great, but not the worst. I also went in looking forward to the musical numbers that somehow people didn't know about. Overall maybe 6.5/10? (This is probably the first time I've graded a film tbh)

Certainly shouldn't mean people are less than for being amused by it either.. O.o

It's not having a face tattoo on its face that's the issue...heh pun intended

I mean that's exactly what trans means, so they're just being redundant and perpetuating this weird fear mongering. Honestly some of them are just stupid, others seem to know a lot of constituents are stupid and appeal to it while knowingly preventing funding for education so future voters AREN'T stupid

 

Hey y'all - I'm starting a video series breaking down our statewide ballot questions since I looked last week and had no idea about some of them. I'd really appreciate any support you can give, whether it's watching, commenting, or following my channel!

I just want to vent a bit - I started seeing someone a few weeks ago. Old fling that I ran into through some friends that got rekindled, and I was excited that it seemed like more than just casual hookups this time. But there were some yellow flags I ignored that turned out to be red flags, and now I'm feeling frustrated and hurt.

Dude for real dropped the line that men are more "capable" and "logical" on me. That gender studies are "indoctrination." I told him we should probably stop seeing each other if that's really what he thinks. It wouldn't be logical for me to keep seeing someone that thinks lesser of me, now, would it?

I'm grateful to have some guy friends that I turned to after I left, cuz I wanted to go into "fuck all men" mode, but I know it's not true or helpful. Just like there are women out there that have internalized misogyny, there's feminist men, enbies, etc. We're all just people and we're not monoliths beholden to differences in biology. This is just sexist, manosphere bullshit in particular

Anyway. I'm still feeling angry and wanted to put it out there for some support and solidarity. Anyone have a recent win they'd like to share or something?

ETA: Thank you so much for the conversation y'all! I've been trying to keep up but I gotta get some sleep. I'll check in later but hope everyone has a good day. Keep up the empowerment! 💜

 

I know it's not the most engaging or thought provoking question, but I'm having a bad day and would really like to find a space to vent

 

I was noot prepared for this intensity

 

Say hi to Frankie 😄
