The plight of the demi-femme: Disconnected enough to get confused, insufficiently masc to avoid paying for every sin of Eve. Probably twice.

I don't know but I'm starting to feel like I need to catch up on internet myths about autistics just so I can understand what I'm being accused of by certain family members who need to log off more.

[calmly] the pain from psychologically scarring yourself for a good three years is really bad and unfortunately for both you and the people you hoped to help it actually meant nothing, well nothing except you psychologically scarred yourself almost certainty making you a worse person and advocate

Weird thing is they'd probably yell if told they could modify the patterns themselves, because that would require their own effort

I'm 42 and was out with long COVID for a couple years, but *also* I'd had fairly severe post-viral issues from very young until 24. Getting older has mostly taught me what I need to do to be well.

I think 5.5 is what we have now and it's great for some things, but it was definitely better for the previous size of our family and our previously limited capacity for leftover storage

Part of the excellence in this study is that the programming was identical beyond the name the chatbot was given and how it referred to itself pronoun-wise. For ages, people have been trying to claim that there was some secret other difference when it was people Checkmate

If we needed more evidence:

The result was that Johanna—who was the “female”-appearing agent, ended up with about 10.25% less money than her male-appearing counterpart, Jonah. Participants afterward said they also saw Jonah as more human than Johanna, as well.

I've done one of each and C-section recovery was way more difficult for me honestly

Screening question for fathers-to-be: Do you understand what the 6-week rest period entails and that it's not optional (And also that sex is *one* important facet, but ignoring the rest of it can literally put your partner's life in danger and/or leave her with lifelong injuries)

I can't decide if this is too harsh or the right amount of harsh, but that reminds me of incels coming up with every theory in the world except the correct one

Hahaha oh my god I did not connect that with the economic fixation but that makes sense

Yeah the first time it hit my friend group (when the perpetrators were boys, not men), my 13-year-old friend's Pepsi was drugged. By another 13-year-old.

“Let him die”: the repeated phrase of the Sages when brought the case of a man who has become sick with passion for a woman. For me, the story holds important wisdom about whose problem it is when a man desires a certain woman — and it’s not the woman 🙂 (Sanhedrin 75a)

A grey ornately decorated gate on a white background. The repeated Talmudic phrase is integrated into the curves of the gate in Aramaic/Hebrew letters. The gate is covered in large green snakes, and smaller red snakes surround the place where the gate would open. The left side is watermarked with “@maimonides_nutz”

there’s a reason that ben Gvir and his fellow ghouls absolutely love showing that footage to people. Because watching people commit atrocities on repeat is a good way to make you forget that repaying atrocities with atrocities just doubles the corpses

I'm wondering if it's more visible in rural areas than in cities. Because *wow* is the organized aspect visible in rural areas.

Rice + a protein + bag of frozen veggies + salad dressing, a category of meal that I made a *lot* when I was a single mom of a kid who didn't sleep. Very cheap, one pan, makes lots, easy to vary.

I specifically cannot buy this because the Wonderland-obsessed teen would make the baby wear this every day for weeks.

I did not know anyone used that as a flex because all I can think of is "well this guy isn't going to survive his wife (or his divorce) by more than a month or two."

I'm autistic and memorizing things was my favorite stupid human trick when I was a kid. Poems, short stories, entire books of the Bible.

It's good to point out these sorts of lame intimidation efforts. But it's also important to put the ineffectiveness in context. If the goal is to promote voting, flagging the structural limitations of federal threats should be part of that process.

Look, this is bad. Yes. But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi). What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.

This is so odd to me because I'm usually the chilly one in the house and 55-60 degrees feels perfect to me. Can't even get the toddler to put on clothes willingly until it's like 45. (Clothes go on anyway, if you're shivering you need to fix that)

I also hate the “but I live in a safe state” argument. Ooooh, I can vote for my vanity candidate because I can count on enough other people to actually do the right thing, fuck off. Their “conscience” is actually sounder than yours

It's tempting sometimes to think ADHD meds would fix me, but honestly as soon as basic sleep and safety needs are met I just...start getting things done with little effort.* Remembering that's true is the hard part. *outside of an MCAS flare

Gaslighting is not a synonym for lying. A politician can't gaslight you; a cable news reporter can't gaslight you. (Unless they know you personally.) Gaslighting is a form of interpersonal abuse over a long period of time, and requires the victim to trust their abuser.
