I was glad that my mom was also "oversensitive" so at least she understood that part. But overall, yes. You're told long enough you can't possibly feel how you feel, eventually you start to deny it even to yourself. You just live with constant pain and people wonder why you have such a "bad temper."

Violet Affleck: "To confront the Long COVID crisis I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers and mask mandates in county medical facilities. And most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason." 🔥🔥🔥

Ok I’m trying to turn this depressing but important thread into something positive. Please tell me about the animal info books you love or find super useful. Clearly it’s time to acquire some more books as relying on the internet gets dicey.

It is absolutely wild to me how many customers get incredibly pissed that cashiers cant do things that would make it trivially easy for people to steal from them. Like, I understand you're frustrated and it's inconvenient but the policy wasn't made to inconvenience you personally.

I love the NMNH Allosaurus. We have trace and body fossils showing us theropods sat just like this, and Allosaurus eggs have been found at several spots. Even the skeleton itself got an overhaul to be more accurate, especially the skull.

I shouldn't feel like I'm 60+ years old unable to relate to the youngsters with people *my own fucking age* because I have almost 0 of the same cultural references because I was isolated from them my whole fucking childhood.

This is why the New York Times likes to fuck with the Democratic Party. It generates long dramatic story cycles because the Democratic Party campaign people have no means to handle crises and their throes of panic generate good copy.

People vote for candidates that they don’t like. If your rule is “no, you also have to like them, and I will angrily insist you do so” you are telling people they shouldn’t vote for a candidate they don’t like. Nobody has to like a politician.

It is fully okay to vote for the NLRB board being able to protect unions and the FTC to keep all our grocery stores from being owned by the same entity. You don’t have to like the goddamn candidate.

How many of the formative socially traumatic experiences I had with people my own age growing up were due the fact that my social experience wasn't in line with theirs, resulting in age-inappropriate expression/behavior? Because I had so much less practice interacting with people my own age

Like. I can't say I wouldn't have struggled anyway. But. How much of my struggle with making and keeping friends is because I had so little practice compared to basically anyone else my age during my formative years, causing me to be behind in social skills, leading to social trauma?

Me as a teen (still drinking the koolaid): "My socialization was great! I got contact with others & I would have been bullied in a school" Me now: "I got about 1/7 the practice socializing with people my own age, & was deliberately & inadvertently isolated from the wider culture."

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

When Johns Hopkins Hospital stopped masking, my otherwise really smart & experienced transplant nurse told me that COVID can't be airborne or they'd be required to keep wearing masks. The American healthcare system has been filled with "wash your hands to prevent a respiratory virus" misinformation.

Like, okay, if medication and/or further testing isn't a good option for me, I'm fine with that. But. I would like to have some idea of what would indicate that it would be.

Unmasked leftists, are you “being shamed” when told to wear an n95 or feeling shame when realizing your actions & values don’t align? If you can’t tolerate discomfort, you can’t learn, grow, or resist systems of oppression. Expand your capacity for discomfort to expand your potential to liberate.

The Democratic Party has no good options because they opted to give the public no good options. This is a disaster of their own making and no one has a magic fix for the catastrophe they’ve created. That Trump could be so well positioned is an unthinkable failure of politics.

If you're a member of a political party (i.e. a registered voter), and you want to communicate something important to your party's leadership, reaching out to any federal electeds who are also members of your party (congress, senate) or any statewide official (governor) is a way to communicate
