Dude didn't want to wear his shoes and my mom said he had to wear them to go outside, so he wore them to go out and then took them off. He's 3 but if I had done that I would have been in TROUBLE and I'm glad she realized he just thought he found a way they could both get what they needed lol
My mom and I will probably never work through all our trauma but today she was telling me how one of my nephews found a loophole in a rule and not only did she not ascribe malice but she said when she talked to him about why the rule exists she heard MY voice coming out of her mouth??? Crying now
We could both get the same one if they switched it to "reptiles"
But my neighbor kids all love coming over to see mine, so luckily I'm only driving away the right people
I hope you don't interact with it! It's something that can happen in any skin crease, so I have heavier friends who have had it in other places, and it can be itchy and painful but washing often is good prevention and tea tree oil and dandruff shampoo work to treat it!
Horribly, you can be prone to skin fungus in that crease and it's a real bitch to get rid of. However, I've been rocking G cups for almost 20 years and it was only one really horrible summer, so hopefully you can dodge it!
this is so pervasive among TERF women because their definition of womanhood fetishizes endurance of bodily suffering, and instead of looking deeply at how fucked up that is for THEM (and their daughters!) they act like it’s playing on Easy Mode for a trans woman not to have menstrual cramps
nor just bodily suffering but all "feminine suffering". a big reason terfs end up aligning with misogynist conservatives all the time is they see dealing with misogyny as a part of their identity. they don't actually want to get rid of it. fundamentally unfeminist shit
They want to take away overtime pay
“How many hours did you work this week?”
“60”
“Well well well looks like we only need you for 20 hours next week, so no OT, sorry about that”
It's also really reasonable for people to burn out, because there are just not enough people for all the work. It's daunting, it's exhausting, it's depressing, and there are good days but there are as many days where you feel like you are, at best, just putting off defeat for a later date. Idk sorry
A couple of years ago, @mskellymhayes.bsky.social tweeted something like, "work the problem like someone who wants to find a solution, not like someone who wants to have been right," and I've thought about it so much since. It's harder than it should be but also the only way forward.
As democracy teeters, a reminder: Jonathan Mitchell, who represented Trump at SCOTUS in the 14th Amendment case, is trying to end the ACA’s preventative care coverage requirements in a case that is aimed at opposition to PrEP coverage, which prevents HIV transmission.
You should grab some of my horror comics. They’re available from my shop and I can ship to most places. If you don’t see your country available lmk and I’ll add it.
Hey motherfuckers, just found out my kid had post-viral myocarditis from COVID in 2022! Discovered because of constant fatigue and dizziness when standing. They now use a cane.
COVID is surging again so do the damn things! I know they suck but not as much as giving someone else a heart condition.
I don't think every cop is a violent sadistic sociopath, but I do know if I were a violent sadistic sociopath who wanted to hurt people without suffering consequences, there's one career that I would be *extremely* drawn to
protect trans kids. defend puberty blockers and HRT treatment for minors.
stop attacking children for having an endocrinology disorder goddammit.
it’s bullshit i have to spend all this time on electrolysis as an adult just because some christian perverts are obsessed with controlling strangers.
Like instead of telling moms to constantly be homeless and move, u could I dunno actually push for fibctioning safety nets so they don't have to leave. But ppl don't want to do that so families end up in perpetual wandering and displacement.
I know "high quality" is very subjective especially by culture, and "childcare" has historically been used coercively and in ways that perpetuate cultural genocide, so I am NOT advocating for shit like that, it would require a lot of work and care to figure out the right solutions and supports.
