They do this to trans guys too. Recent hospitalization was 50/50 “she” versus “he” from the nurses and docs of course.
They refused to put me out and barely gave me pain meds while I was screaming as they stabbed and dug around to drain an abscess. Worst pain I have ever experienced was “anxiety.”
A well timed “ctrl w” is also very useful. Say goodbye to your ELO…
As a teacher, I love control-shift-T.
“No Mr, I wasn’t playing Geometry Dash!”
If anti abortion activists actually wanted anything other than publishing women, they’d be outraged by the state of maternal health care in prisons. They are okay with a woman miscarrying because she gets the shit beaten out of her in prison, they just don’t want anything to be her choice.
You’ve never been that poor?
I mean, there’s quite a few calculus problems that you can do without calculus. Pretty much 80% of the optimization problems/max’s and minimums in a typical Calc 1 class can be done if you remember that -b/2a is the vertex of a quadratic.
Which you’d think would need some sort of permit or approval process? But it looks like you can just do whatever you want if you have the $$$
I’m absolutely sick of them. I get home from work at dick o’clock and always have to make sure there’s not one lying down in the middle of my parking spot.
My mother has somehow never held down an actual full time job, but has a house.
I have routinely worked 60, 80, 100 hour weeks much of my life. I sleep on the floor in a studio apartment.
Well yeah, of course, his friend Jerry Trivers told him that because their mutual friend Jeffrey Epstein paid him to.
You have to be friends with the governor to be let out.
They even brought her chick fil a.
It’s a jail that regularly kills people.
They say second death this year in the article, but if you talk to homeless folks, the trick is to kick you out before you die so it doesn’t count.
Possibly Apis because the context of the story is the Israelites waiting for Moses to come down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments, just after their escape from Egypt, but worshipping bulls was a huge thing in the entire Fertile Crescent area so it could have been anything. Bulls are kinda a big deal at the time period - you see lamassu with human heads and bull bodies guarding lots of temples and palaces in Mesopotamia.
Moses is so pissed about the golden calf because he was literally just talking to god. He leaves them alone after getting them out of Egypt and they immediately get into polytheism.
The actual early Israelite religion was polytheistic, had temple prostitutes, burned cannabis for ritual purpose, and very likely had child sacrifice - probably of the first born.
Could include the bite marks from the teenager he orally raped.
It just gives me the vibes of what happened to Johnathan Joss - the King of the Hill actor who was murdered. He was married to a trans men, and they had received homophobic harassment which the cops had refused to do anything about. The murder wasn’t “about” him being married to a trans man, but you can’t separate it.
I wonder if this is a similar situation. Cops do not take trans men seriously.
For those wondering why this is “lesbian” paper - many trans men have connection/ with the lesbian community. We often spend some time identifying as lesbians because if it’s the community we might have come of age in. It’s not something i really identify win, but it’s not that unusual.
Ya know, I’d rather just have plain text website designed for 4 gb or less. I’ve never been in the financial position to have 16 gbs, and it’s far worse now. I just want to not be denied access to text because all websites want to secretly run so much JavaScript and all the other shit. Eventually I’ll give up on the web and just be happy on gopher and Gemini.
Most middle and high schoolers use chromebooks nowadays.
Hey, btw this guys pastor doesn’t think women should have the right to vote. The military has been actively purging women.
Actual advice:
Your job is not to explain to the person what they are feeling is not real or rational. This is actively unhelpful. The experience is very very very real to the person undergoing it.
Remember that your body is chemicals. There are chemical systems that exist to tell you that you are in immediate, life threatening danger. These chemicals are able to override everything else - it is clearly evolutionary favorable to be able to just be on high alert sometimes.
These chemicals override your ability to reason. In the moment, some sort of physiological, primal reminder of safety. Food is good. Lying down. Touch and kind words from someone you feel safe around. Something that tells your body crisis is over and it is time to activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Breathing exercises can be good, but if you do them like a drill sergeant that can make things much worse.
I’m fortunate at this point I think that I’ve burned out my body out with caffeine and high danger activities, along with experiencing something like Christian hell in a bad weed trip. I don’t think I react properly to danger anymore, but I don’t experience panic attacks annymoe either.
Hi ex husband! And mom! And Dad!
My UU ordained friend is a nonbinary activist who was in Minneapolis during the ICE shit.
The first time I went to a UU service, I was invited to a rationalist group that meets there.
It’s all of the good things about religion (ie - community. People who will meal train for you when you are in trouble, people who will teach your kids good shit) without much of the baggage.
I’m personally going to start attending either a UU or a really loosely Methodist group just for the social aspect. I think one of the failures of atheism is the lack of acknowledgment of the benefits of community and ritual. There’s not enough “third places” in the world, and churches can fill that roll quite well. Perhaps this is just my own recent near death experience speaking, but it’s good to have a community that cares about you.
