I find it interesting that the same people who say college is too expensive to publicly fund will support these programs where some K-12 tuition is as much or more than college tuition
Why are so many people willing to deny Jesus so that Trump can win? It feels like that lady wanted to say Trump but only said Jesus out of obligation. I just don’t understand it. Probably because it doesn’t make sense.
“Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students “for being homosexual or transgender.” They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for “cross-dressing,” by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts.”
Yep! Ducks and pigs are the two I think of. I recommend using the keywords “reproductive system” and not trying to google duck/pig penis lol. You might get some images you don’t want to see. Or maybe you do want to see it, what do I know?
Humans on the other hand…pretty straight forward. Unless you are a “real Republican” in Texas, I guess.
If you go to a physical therapist, make sure they actually consider your other health issues (if any).
My recent experience: I tried multiple PTs. One said they were familiar with my issues, but kept trying to make me do things that were painful and then tried to gaslight me by saying I wasn’t actually in pain. Another one didn’t even ask about my other health issues (which absolutely affect their work), and then proceeded to send like 6 different assistants in to guide me through the exercises. None of them asked me how the exercises were for me and I wasn’t even told how long I was supposed to do them for. I finally just booked an appointment with a PT that I already know is good, but I can’t get in for a few months and it’s a couple hours round trip to go in person. It sucks but at least with them I can trust relatively well that they aren’t going to actively harm or gaslight me.
I ended up ranting a bit so feel free to ignore this comment 🫣
It’s so shitty too because even if you spent years or even decades paying your bills on time, if you hit a few hard months you are completely fucked. None of these companies, not the government, not even the community gives a shit. Everyone just tells you to apply for food stamps, go to a food bank, apply for section 8, etc etc, without realizing that (at least where I am) they actively vote for and support policies that prevent most people from accessing those things. Not to mention food banks have so much moldy shit it’s not worth standing in line for 5+ hours to get nothing edible and then have to go to a different place next week because god forbid you go to the same food bank twice in a month. And then section 8… So many places their waitlists are closed for 10-20 years! If you get accepted during that time you still have to apply, find a participating landlord, and jump through 5,000 hoops before you can even plan to move in somewhere. And don’t get me started on healthcare!
I will say that one example for all is Abba’s “Mamma Mia” which I interpreted the beginning of chorus “Mamma mia, we are collagen” and the beginning of the second part of it “He’ll something broken hardly”. Don’t ask past me why I had to make it about intercellular matrix.
I know it’s still online, but I’m not sure if you’ve done this already. I personally join community groups on Facebook and see how they interact with people. It’s been quite telling.
It’s ridiculous how much rebuilding takes, at least in the US, and how much racism and classism plays into it.
I went to NOLA like 5 years after Hurricane Katrina and most of the houses I saw in “certain” (poor) neighborhoods still had the spray paint on them from first responders. Also one of the (predominantly black) universities there I don’t think had fully rebuilt either at that point while the other (predominantly white) university had just gotten a new sports field.
I just can’t imagine being in a war torn place where much of the world hardly acknowledges you as a human and trying to rebuild your community.
It just blows my mind every day the cruelty in this world - and the fact that there are so many genocides happening simultaneously. I still remember when I was a small child finding out that WW2 did not hold the only genocide the world had ever or would ever see. I still can’t quite wrap my head around it.

Do you have any smell you like/dislike even though most people don't?
I’ll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.
