When my ex husband was around during my trips, he would freak me the fuck out. My body was in terror, I understood more than in that moment. The same lack of respect that I brushed off when not tripping sent me into a spiral.
It was a warning sign I didn’t take.
Wonder how research on black maternal mortality is being treated.
Considering how many of the women that have died due to Dobbs have been women of color… if one was “pro life” the fact that black women being 3.5 times more likely to die in childbirth should be concerning.
That’s literally what they call trans men. That is the argument. We are all supposedly autistic, which means that we can’t be trusted to make decisions over our own bodies. That is constantly used to infantilize us, and will eventually be used to take away our ability to access transition.
or even water
We never stopped the “lol treaties with Native American tribes don’t count” bullshit.
It is, but it took Venmo and I don’t think Walmart does. I needed groceries and that seemed to be the best option with my only money being the $50 in the Venmo account. I thought about asking someone if I could send them the money and get cash instead, but didn’t have anyone I could do that with.
Yeah, I prefer not using venmo, but I had negative money in my bank and some Venmo money my boss had sent me. I wanted groceries and that was the only money I had “access” to.
Already use a credit union 🙃
Not trying to lay blame, but doesn’t Venmo ask where you want the money to come from every time you send money?
No, unless that shows up if you are transferring in the app. It did not ask me where the money would come from. I was using a grocery delivery service and selected Venmo as my payment option. I assumed that selecting Venmo over my bank would take it from my Venmo.
I already got my credit union to forgive a charge on an accidental 1.99 purchase. I don’t think they’ll do it again.
I have even less hours this month. I’ll probably just end up driving off a bridge. There’s no way I’m ever going to be financially solvent again.
Animaniacs is actually good tho
Cross stitch/knitting are both good for that.
You’re still sitting on your couch zoning out watching TV, but you do feel mildly productive.
The crazy fundamentalists support her now. It’s all over Facebook.
There’s a difference between burning a book as a political statement because the author is actively harming you, and having a meltdown because the book has magic in it.
It also makes me uncomfortable that you characterize this as “sides.” As a trans person, my “side” is that I deserve to live, have access to medical care, and be treated equitably. Treating this like it’s an issue with “sides” is fucked up - one “side” thinks that all trans people should be forced back into the closet or detransitioned against our will, the other “side” just wants to be fucking alive.
She got her teddy bear dirty, and was super rude at the “doll hospital.” What a spoiled brat.
It reminds me of hypnotoad. Went from bouncing off the wall, having sobbing on the floor meltdowns over the fact that my car is broken and demanding everything in the pantry to zonking out on the couch like a frat kid watching Koyaanisqatsi on his first edible.
Not really down with burning the books, just that Rowling is using money from the series to fund a campaign against trans people.
I’m not going to spend money that someone is going to use to turn around and attack my rights with.
Like, if I was in the UK - it would be illegal for me to piss basically anywhere. Trans women are supposed to use the men’s, but because trans men are autistic self hating lesbians (the kind of shitty propaganda that bitch funds) we don’t exist and can’t piss in the men’s or the women’s.
I’m not very opposed to the mediocre children’s book series for their content - it’s just typical “the status quo is good actually.” I’m not going to give money to people who are using their money to hurt me.
AI written books have no value.
If it was not worth writing, it is not worth reading.
As someone who loves books, I avoid print-on-demand. Most of the time they end up with terrible, jpeg artifact ridden covers, disorganized page breaks, and terrible quality text.
A lot of the better creators are on Nebula. I don’t think they’d take Pewds though.
The ADA is toothless right now.
Oklahoma City Police and the state were found to be in violation of the ADA by using police to respond to mental health crises, inappropriately imprisoning and institutionalizing people with mental health disorders.
After Cheeto Mussolini got into office, he ended the investigation and there are no plans for meaningful change. I doubt that any ADA issues are currently investigated.
In the US, it’s really that you are taking a pay cut during the year to get paid during the summer.
I’ve never had a real “summer break.” Always either second job, professional development, or school.
