Sunday Morning Reality Check: this whole thing (except the Bubba punchline, cmon) has made me quietly upset and uncomfortable.

The irony is: there aren’t many out there who really did escape an incident on the sex violence spectrum, *especially* when children.

To be callous shows fear. Sad.
The "jokes" and general callousness in response to the Epst*in emails just affirms my belief that the gulf between survivors of sexual violence and those who aren't / or otherwise do not recognize their experiences as violent is WIDE.

Ok well that was cathartic and unhinged.

That’s when I’m at my best, maybe.

At Chavín de Huántar, which flourished from 1200 to 400 B.C., researchers uncovered bone snuff tubes containing the Peruvian Andes' earliest evidence of psychoactive drugs.

I’m going to break down crying over my failure as a scholar.

I was there in 2010 writing about EVERYTHING to do with this. From the chemistry to the anthropology.

Oh it’s fine. Chavín has gotten popular I guess.
Analysis of artefacts found at Chavín de Huántar found nicotine from wild tobacco and alkaloids, including DMT. Archaeologists believe that Chavín leaders used hallucinogens to establish class structures by creating an air of mystery, mysticism and power. #ChemSky

So rather than Chavín de Huantar being seen as the source of this religion, it more accurately seems to represents the evolution of pre-existing north coast religious beliefs.

‘While conducting research at the site of Chavín de Huántar in the central highlands, the team discovered a sealed chamber that contained 23 carved bone and shell artifacts, including hollowed-out “snuff tubes” bearing traces of nicotine and DMT, the hallucinogen found in ayahuasca’.

You know when you read a staremrnt from the mods that’s total rank ass? Aaron, I know for a fact that you had the time to work on this a little longer so it didn’t come out so insane.
First I’m sorry that you had such tragic experiences. That’s horrific.

1) if a person on the news, such as a female journalist talks about a topic, does she deserve threats in a joking way?
2) would you believe those acceptable to receive on your account?

Aaron, it's silly to think you can moderate away the anger of the peasantry when the horrors of the world occur over and over again without any justice. Civil discourse is not between an abused and her abuser.

It’s about time I watched #DelhiCrime and got back to knowing/speaking Hindi/Urdu.

Also, Shefali Shah played my hero in Monsoon Wedding. Oh how she screamed the things I didn’t know how to say to anyone yet.

And I have a fever of 100F.

If you have siblings or a large family with many cousins around your age, did you ever have silly Disney type dynamics where you each fit a particular archetype? "The funny one", "The glamorous one", "The smart one", "The sad one", "The athlete", "The one blessed by Jackie Onassis as 'clever'?"

There’s almost no Star Wars Twitter friends anymore on there — you’ve all come here.

But I just posted a few sorta-oldies but goooooodies of the brainwormed SWtwitter tweets in the last 8 years.

I was cleaning out my old ass computer of ten billion pictures and screenshots…

Violent, powerful men - and their apologists - rate sexual and gendered violence so low on the scale of their antisocial behaviors, it’s likely a typical and innate human habit.
