Neurodiverse queer who is mostly here to follow more interesting people and might speak up occasionally. (Probably to nerd out about lit, history, mythology, f1, prog, cool LGBTQIA people or many of the other disparate things that spark their brain meats.)

(Correction, it was five people, but the location was as bohemian AF so it might as well have been twelve starving artists and a chorus line.)

Can confirm. Last year I had a six person meeting in which we laid out, "So this is my primary partner, I get you're also dating him and I'm not, and I'm with you two but you two aren't with eachother... what do we even call this all?"

It took a lot of detective work and digital archeology but I'm pretty sure that's the ghost of Cesare Borgia. Care to explain?

Strongly recommend Vivaldi. Chromium based but with most of the spying junk ripped out, compatibility with Chrome plugins and a really efficient customisable UI.

I'm already cleaning my biggest stomping boots and planning how I steal my father-in-law's authentic claymore. Reckon a loincloth is too ostentatious for a first meeting?

You got ADHD symptoms? ADHD symptoms plus insomnia and midnight spurts of activity can be indicative of your body not releasing enough dopamine. It's a long shot and I'm far from an expert but learning this transformed my work and sleep.

The income of the average Hatian is, IIRC, a quarter of what it was a few decades ago almost exclusively because of 'international assistance'.

One of Haiti's staples was rice and one 'bailout' from the international community forced it to allow imported rice that grossly undercut local producers in price, devastating its ability to provide for its people without yet more 'help'. Similar help also caused a recent cholera epidemic.

Yep, Haiti has been repeatedly sabotaged economically and socially by America and France especially since it fought for its freedom. From paying 'compensation' to France worth 3000% of its GDP for ending slavery to 'assistance' from other nations that has destabilized it and made it poorer.

Facts. Expression, lends itself best to people who want to express tings and their motivations can be anything from validation to sincerity to distraction to obfuscation. It's no surprise that the kind of people who inspire us and create things that connect to us often turn out to be kinda shitty.

It's hot as hell out right now. Bosses refuse to give workers what they need to beat the heat on the job, from AC in trucks to shade and water breaks, for fear of losing any of their profits. The only solution left is for us to organize and fight.

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

The more you have to ask yourself questions the easier it is to justify gorging or starving. Plus the more stressful your relationship with food gets. At least in my experience from living with an eating disorder.
