really reminds me of the lead-up and early years of the war in iraq, just wall to wall coverage of exactly one set of ideas while millions of people opposed everything about it

I'm absolutely loving the mental image conjured by describing the behavior of the likes of John Roberts as "digging through the trash bins of history like racist raccoons looking for leftover oppression". Really wish I'd developed the skills to draw that.

I had thousands of microwaved meals "from scratch" as a kid; my mom would microwave whole chickens. I haven't owned a microwave in more than 20 years. Not in my house!

Likewise. Trashcans, buckets -- a decorative bowl one time that I recall, but never EVER anything from the kitchen. My brother once caught a whipping just for spitting in the kitchen sink.

sometimes i hate myself for believing him, and i treat it by reminding myself that i believed because i hoped, and i still hope, and it's important to keep hoping even when you've been betrayed

i'm old and don't watch movies/tv and therefore don't know who the young stars are, but every time i see pictures of y'all, i think you must be stars. so pretty, so put together, so camera-ready, such a resonant harmony with what we know is beautiful togetherness. pretty, pretty women. y'all got it.

There are real neurobiological differences that make a difference in how people feel and perceive, and therapy and medications are extremely helpful to millions of people. Therapy serves a different purpose from self-reflection because it is itself a social activity exterior to your own perception.

There are places that have sliding scales for affordability, but it's still not available to everyone. There are a lot of written resources you can consult -- I'm autistic and also believe other people's emotions are their own, but my behavior affects them, and they matter. Don't dismiss their needs

These activities are all egocentric and self-affirming, and not being at all concerned about other people's feelings or reactions is in the same set. "You don't need therapy if you're a sociopathic narcissist" has the same communicative content but is equally untrue.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

Since 2019 I've liked to remind you that we should work to break up not just ICE, but abolish the entire DHS. It's a post-9/11 reactionary agency that needs to be destroyed.

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

when you vote for President you are voting for a coalition rather than a person. the right understands this very well, which is why evangelicals lined up behind Trump.

I already decided to compromise when I decided I had to vote for Biden because I will vote for a bag of rancid meatloaf to keep Trump from becoming President again. Biden's mental state is irrelevant; I already thought he was a bag of rancid meatloaf; I'm voting for the democratic apparatus.

Anyhow the best time to address the shit was yesterday, the 2nd best time is today. Demand everyone asking for your vote to support packing the court, stop giving your resources to the police, demand public housing, healthcare, childcare, education, transit, food support and a right to privacy.

you're striking out at someone else because of your own self-loathing. you're cruel to her because you hate yourself. that's being sad out loud in a way that children are sad out loud. you can't get help here -- this is not a place where people can help you not feel this way.

really seems like you're arguing with someone who has profound depression and is able to rationalize anything into a worst-case framework where nothing ever gets better and there is no reason to push or hope, where every bad thing is an indication of inherent badness. you're arguing with an illness.

yeah, it definitely should not be anyone's goal weight at 5'10" -- my goal weight is 150, I just can't ever get it there without force-eating a diet extremely high in fat and sugar. i don't know what AI is supposed to add to the nutrition conversation except fucked up expectations and grim nonsense

Thanks. I'm not trying to extract shame from you, just trying to raise awareness of how this kind of discourse can be unkind -- the other comments here are illustrative. This is just the shape I am. I love being tall, but being very thin comes with a lot of social punishment I did nothing to earn.
