you ever find a mascara so bad people should go to jail for selling it

That’s *so* many Amities

Stay at what home?

It all smells like bullshit.

The guys who say they want a wife who stays at home to raise the kids can’t afford to do it alone, so what’s the real real here? Fantasy stats?

I mean if we’re taking dreams into account what are we actually tracking here

“I want a lolly!”

I can’t square shit like this with the undeniable fact that it’s basically impossible to buy a home on a one-person salary.

Younger generations feel this more than anyone and it feels like a problem with the methodology if that isn’t the driving concern with men who want stay-at-home wives.

I can do it with a num pad from muscle memory but my brain’s not in on it without

Mine was 6 digits! What a DWEEB

BOURDAIN COME BACK

Barbie disgusted face x6

What an odd piece…

I’m kind of just standing here afterwards going:

FAQ Friday What is the Broken Arm Theory?

The broken arm theory or ‘syndrome’ describes a common experience faced by some marginalised groups in medical settings. It occurs when medical professionals let personal stigma or bias shape the questions they ask or how they treat their patients. The broken arm theory originated within the transgender rights community, to describe the medical misattribution and invasive questioning that many trans and gender diverse people experience within general healthcare from medical professionals. The theory extends beyond gender, LGBTQIA+, and sex work discrimination also affecting other marginalised groups. It can be based on factors such as disability, weight, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, drug use, and more.

How does the Broken Arm Theory show up for sex workers? Picture this: You’re a sex worker and you walk into a clinic with a broken arm from a sporting accident. Instead of having the presenting symptom (your broken arm) be the focus of the appointment, somehow the doctor’s attention seems to be on your work. For example, the doctor might assume the injury is from a client.

While in some instances, healthcare providers may focus on sex work in a way that feels outwardly hostile, the Broken Arm Theory can also show up in pathologising or voyeuristic ways. I had cold and flu symptoms and went to a new GP. Once I disclosed my sex worker status, she asked irrelevant questions about my job and became focused on STI tests. I just had to sack a very sweet mental health professional... they were too interested in my life as a sex worker and our sessions were more discussing my history and stuff like that than about helping me.* *Treloar, C., Stardust, Z., Cama, E., & Kim, J. (2020). Rethinking the relationship between sex work, mental health and stigma: a qualitative study of sex workers in Australia. Social Science & Medicine, 113468.

Have you ever had a health care professional's stigma and bias impact your healthcare? You may have experienced the Broken Arm Theory.

People doing important work like this deserve the protection of large institutions. While independent media is cool & exciting I get really nervous about the risk we’re asking individual journalists to take on.

We have to think of sustainable ways to support this work, beyond keeping the lights on.

in year 7 history they’d say shit like “being fat was in fashion at the time because there was a famine” & if we extrapolate that then genAI has flooded us with a surplus of that creepy stepford girlfriend look & men are about to go absolutely *feral* for the fucked up looking ogre women in response
