you'd think child support is crazy pricey based on how redpill guys talk about it, but the avg payment is ~$450/mo & that is, imo, an INSANELY good deal for something as expensive as a baby.
So it's even fucking crazier knowing BK Dad Defiant is getting $60k PAC checks & still wont pay for his kids

🤔 there are statutes covering what can be done. there are also religious convictions and this argument feels moralistic.
dead bodies are dead and don’t care. how the survivors feel matters more, and in the USA spouse is legal heir sans last will and testament.

Mike, I really don't have the time of day to go over the complexities of what is and isn't normal stuff to do with a dead body. You should maybe talk to your preferred spiritual advisor about this.
no, I didn’t misunderstand you. is the purpose of the procedure to extract something from a corpse or is it erotic? if it’s erotic it’s necrophilia. are you claiming that extracting sperm from a corpse is de facto erotic for the harvester?

If you're a trans person who's been sleeping on your name change or any of your identity documents I would strongly recommend getting them in order ASAP. Even if you live in a blue state you don't know what rules might change in the state your birth certificate is from or at the federal level.

it’s unfortunate when a neighbor goes from “good” to trying to stop you from working in your wetland bc “curb appeal for rich ppl”. I did not comply. wetland restoration is more important to me than getting to live next door to affluence.

here’s the thing abt being old with really good recall: it’s fukking lonely unless you have younger far left friends, bc so few of us remember what things were really like and we desperately want to pass our memories on so ppl don’t forget that this has all been planned and we really are expendable.

yeah 💯%. dogs are incredible & are hella trustworthy, but they perform the job they’re trained to do.
cops train scent dogs to alert when they’re signaled. they’re used as ways to circumvent warrant requirements & the bill of rights, not sniff out drugs.

there have been wetland use policies in place in the USA since the 80s, yet I find myself in a position where the only way I can get information on an unpermitted pond built after 2000 is by filing a lawsuit.

a government that fears criticism this much is already fascist.
This is deeply troubling territory. Based on what appears to be being proposed here it would be tantamount to criminalising criticism of the government. There's a word for a regime which does that.

how do I get men to stop interpreting me as female? they don’t even believe me that I don’t want to date them.
femininity is fun once or twice a year but it really does feel like drag. I only mimicked it bc my 2 choices were bull dyke or cishet woman. I wanted to just be androgynous and bi.

i am continually thankful for what a cis woman friend told me early in transition, “honey, all of femininity is shadowplay. it’s ropes & pulleys & holsters. being a woman is tricking men into seeing what you need them to see so that you fight another day. now put on the fucking shapewear.”

learning to recognize all gender as performance really helped me unpack a lot of internalized brainworms.
i realized that rituals like makeup felt like drag because they are already grounded in spectacle & societal burlesque, not because of some innate failure on my end.

I’ve worked at a lot of different jobs which has been pretty cool actually bc I have a better understanding of how not to make a lot of ppl’s day worse. it got me thinking that “conservative wife” really has been the worst job ever, and I’ve pitched manure, cleaned urinals, and worked at a bank.
