I hate this so much, but I need to take an extended social media break. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and of rape, the news and hot takes to current events is all…too much. If you desperately need to reach me, message @atleastonce.bsky.social Love & peace to all of my fellow survivors.

Dumb question perhaps, but is a torc worn with the ends facing your front? Or does it sit okay if you have the ends fave to the back (which I’m guessing is when you could attach a crime-against-humanity-Becky-brooch to it?)

Tonight was good weather for making a big pot of chili with my husband and topping it with some hot sauce and corn chips.
A large pot of chili, made with pinto and kidney beans, ground bison, chopped onions and green peppers, garlic, crushed tomatoes, and a shit ton of spices. My “secret” ingredient is a heaping spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder.

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

My pulmonologist in 2017 had me do a CT scan of my lungs and the radiologist had noted that my liver had cirrhosis. He never told me the details. In 2019 I was being considered for a surgery and that MD was giving my records a thorough review. When he asked me if I knew, I just about fainted.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Today’s EMDR didn’t go so well, as I ended up in a full blown panic attack. Therapist struggled to talk me down, and I’m still not doing incredibly great. My husband came home early to help me, and I’m now sipping a THC soda and listening to LIVE DRUGS from The War on Drugs to chill out.

new research reports that cats vocalize more when greeting male owners. researchers suggest that this is because cats have apparently learned that men require additional explanation when provided with basic communication. I don't like the idea that cats are judging me this accurately.

Some of these workshops are also HUGE red flags in the context of helping men feel less threatened with flirting, as I truly doubt some of these women have any idea wtf they’re getting themselves into. IMO, teaching D/s and spanking/impact play is going to be like handing a gun to a toddler.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."
