Ah, the joys of kids who have the searching capabilities of a blindfolded bat.
Dad: “Pick up the socks on your floor”
Kid: “I did”
Dad: “… what about the 4 on the floor that I can see from the doorway?”
Kid: “Oh, those”

If the Dems had any fuckin’ brains, saying “the part of Epstein is trying to make laws that let them look in your kid’s pants” would be a pretty easy way to crush the Republicans
it’s also a thing where people can be convinced. the right got some people worked up about trans women in sports but possible to get people a lot more worked up about individual/parental rights, genital inspectors, etc
I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

“The party of Epstein wants child brides and child labor” might work as a follow-up message.

Like you know it's a shitty world for people giving birth when they're jealous of an animal giving birth in a barn just because the person taking care of her is trying to be respectful and compassionate and kind.

What I found profoundly affecting was when I was talking about how I try to take care of my goats when they're in labor and women started popping up in my Twitter mentions to say they wished they'd gotten care like that.
Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements
2) they pre-date the age of social media
3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?

Saw this as a response on a thread about Bethesda games and mandatory Steam updates fucking with mods, where someone was muted by the OP.
And went “Yes, that actually is how voluntary interactions work offline as well. We don’t have to stand still and let you talk to us.”

Oh man, this sounds like an actual critique of a story in creative writing class around 1991.
Other students: The character's actions don't seem realistic.
Author: But I did this. This is what happened to me in real life.
Prof: Fiction has to be better than real life.

Okay,
SNAP isn't technically a welfare program. It is a USDA program.
Specifically, a subsidy program. Not for the hungry but for the farmers, food producers, and processors.
