You replied to my post, to explain to me that the joke was that he was fat and gross. I understand the joke. Fat people understand the joke, and we understand that you think we are all gross.

Is that what you want us to think? If not, don't make the fucking joke. That's what I'm saying, goddammit.

If these AI's are conscious, then they are guilty of manslaughter at minimum, given the number of deaths by suicide they have on their digital hands

Seems like a good time to re-up this sentiment: FED IS BEST.

For all ages of human. If the choice is not eating or eating, it literally doesn't matter what, you eat. This is therapist sanctioned advice. Eating enough food is the goal. Doesn't matter what it is.

Everything else is secondary.

in the store just now and there was a couple looking at those prepped toddler meals and he was saying β€œeverything’s better if you just cook from scratch” and she goes β€œthey don’t look bad and they’d save me so much time” and he just kept repeating β€œit’s better if you cook”

I did not commit a crime

These are not things that happen at camps which are not designed to kill the people they incarcerate. ICE centers are concentration camps.

Oooh can't wait. I have a person in my life who cooks only with low sodium goods and won't salt things and the food tastes grey. I wish I could guide them back to the salty life.

I've been living in a hotel since mid-2024, and I've finally found an apartment if I can come up with $2500 up front for the deposit + first month's rent. Any help is appreciated, including sharing this post. #MutualAidRequest #TransCrowdFund

I wonder sometimes too if it's GPS causing issues? Even though it'll re-route you, people panic if they aren't turning at the correct spot and will cut across 5 lanes of a freaking expressway to make an exit and it's so absolutely dangerous it terrifies me.

Abstract
The Preliminary Exploration into Adoption Reunions (PEAR) survey examined the mental health issues faced by adoptees and first mothers. Data were collected from 1313 adoptees, first mothers, and first fathers. Study results indicate that adoption has lasting adverse effects on both adoptees and first mothers. Adoptees and first mothers are significantly more likely to attempt suicide (35 times and 37.7 times, respectively), abuse alcohol, display hypersexual behaviors, and restrict their eating compared to their peers: While first mothers have a lower life expectancy and are more likely to die by suicide than women who did not lose their children to adoption, adoptees frequently struggle with their identity and sense of belonging. They expressed experiencing trauma from their separation from their first mothers, regardless of the quality of their adoptive parents. The findings also highlight the negative impact of the secrecy surrounding adoption. Themes of secrecy and shame were prevalent in the responses from both adoptees and first mothers. The findings highlight the importance of listening to and validating the experiences of adoptees and first mothers and that there needs to be transparency in adoption practices, which may reduce the stigma associated with adoption, and facilitate healing.

I have frequently cited a well-known study that found that adopted people are 4 times likelier to attempt suicide than are non-adoptees. Other adoptees often mention another much higher estimate: 35 times likelier. Here is recently published research that makes that claim. πŸ₯š

Obviously, I don’t think any of us could presume to speak for Rev. Jackson. But the thing that strikes me is that β€œI told you so” isn’t a call to action. Even Obama’s speech, which deeply moved me, mostly wasn’t a call to act. In my conversations with him, the Reverend always implored us to *act*.

the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.

This now happens in reverse for me. I can't wear contacts because of dry eyes, and haven't been able to for over 15 years. My face without glasses no longer looks like my face. I feel naked without them.

Apparently someone needs to say it again but you can just not imply that Trump is an awful person because he's fat. You can just list one of the million ways he's morally and ethically terrible. It's not his fatness, I assure you.

Your fat friends and family can hear what you're saying.

jack's shirt reading "i did NOT let my lead actor sleep with me for the role. i did ask him if he wanted to trade his body for the part, and i did fuck him, and i did cast him as the lead in exactly the role he asked for, but those things are all unrelated" is raising a lot of questions that should really already be answered by his shirt.

pointlesscandies

People pitting Dean and Boston against each other are wild because first offβ€”game recognizes game.

But more importantly, these two aren’t playing the same sport.

Boston wants to have fun. Dean wants one thingβ€”and he is going to get it, no matter what.

Boston is like, β€œI want to sleep with this man and I don’t care about the consequences.” Meanwhile Dean already has the entire cascade of consequences mapped out on a blackboard, and somehow it ends with you in prison and him owning your favorite outfit.

Boston is a good-time guy with shaky morals, but he’s pretty straightforward about it. He’s crazy, but is he willing to go all in like Dean is? I mean, I fully believe that if Dean felt like it, he could will himself to get pregnant just to baby-trap his man.

Boston, my dear. I think you should hide.
