I hope your day was more than adequate 🙂

because women approach him and treat THEMSELVES as sex objects

That's some A+ victim blaming right there. E. Jean Carroll didn't do shit

Doesn't really matter if they weren't targeted if they still ended up dead.

My school had a kid build a computer for the science fair, and our science teacher was like "yeah, you basically just put together an expensive lego set." and gave him an "adequate" ribbon

Was going through links on a wholesome subreddit the other day, looking to calm myself down, and happened upon a video of a young teenage girl in an audiologists office getting her cochlear implants turned on. She was emotional, and happy crying, as her mom filmed her. But it just seemed kind of wrong to share? Like, this is a private moment for you and your family, and you can see the moment the girl realizes she's being recorded, and how she then immediately goes to wipe tears/cover her face.

I've come to revel in the idea of not recording precious moments, just because I don't want to cheapen them with the inclusion of a smartphone, a screen to separate myself from life happening on the other side. I take a similar approach to good deeds. Do something good, or kind for someone, and then don't tell a soul. Keep it with you, for you, only. Hoard those moments like a dragon, and whenever you are having a crisis of faith, where you're unsure as to your own worth, remind yourself of those times you did something kind for no other reason than it was the right thing to do.

It's not they filming that's the problem, it's posting a video of them being vulnerable on social media for everyone to see, and possibly be used against them in the future. Would you be appreciative if the next time you ugly cried, someone took a video of you doing so, adding their commentary, and then posted it for the world to see?

That's a nice thing your mom did, and your tattoo is a great reminder that however bad we're feeling in the moment, that "this too, shall pass."

bro, what? did you even read the article? they shot him? he didn't get away?

wow. the fact that they're finding these chemicals in Placental and Amniotic fluid is nuts

And then the chemicals themselves are just... a list of some very nasty things

I'm reminded of the Propublica article that blew the lid off the fact that 3M's PFAS accumulates in our tissues and causes cancer.

At the time, Johnson said, he didn’t think PFOS caused significant health problems. Still, he told me, “it was obviously bad,” because man-made compounds from household products didn’t belong in the human body. He said that he argued against using fluorochemicals in toothpaste and diapers. (...) “These idiots were already putting it in food packaging,” he said.

A great read that makes me want to chuck it all and find a nice long road to nowhere to bicycle/camp down... just need my own Bear to bring along for the ride!

The ProPublica Report that this piece cites has more information

fucking heartbreaking. brian kemp, drumpf, samuel alito, clarence thomas, john roberts and the three Trump appointees — neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett have blood on their hands.

I discovered this at a wonderful restaurant in Columbus, OH that is now closed, but it's a spicy indian chili-like dish that, when served with a fried egg on top, is just brutally delicious.
