Lamentably true.

Yep that part is gross and also the part where the same doesn't apply to Daddy.

The worst part is when you spot the same thing on people you know in your home town and turn out to be right. There everywhere, the fucking creeps.

Not the weirdest boner I've ever heard

The amount of times antibiotics or surgery have saved my life already I'd be dead so many times over 😬

Oh wizard. Oh no. You're gonna give yourself nothing but nightmares with that tome, there's got to be less dangerous things in the library.

Yep. My kid is doing an ecology related degree and watching everyone else cheat the assignments by getting the planet wrecking lie machines to do them for them, and despairing.

Fuck me. You just made me imagine a world where a politician could say "I don't want to speak to that issue until I've been briefed by the people affected by it"

I think it's actually kind of critical to develop the ability to, and comfort with, just fucking saying when you don't know something, or don't know enough to have formed a strong opinion. Especially given our disinformation situation. Plus it invites people who DO know their shit to the convo

There's nothing "far left" about wanting refugees to have an easier time of it. It's called basic humanity. Fuck's sake, they're homeless because of conflicts and genocides our country is profiting from. Least we can do is not treat them like garbage at their lowest point.

You know what, when I was my kid's age, I used to like Women's Hour. Always thoughtful, nuanced, mature discussion.

My kid can't listen to it though. There's such a high chance if you tune in you'll hear someone from a literal hate group saying outrageous, hurtful lies about trans people 😣

The really cute part is afterwards he did a serious deep dive into the whole topic and did a presentation on inclusion for his workplace 😭

I forgot to come out as non binary to my brother for 5 years and then thought it was off that he called me sis. Oops. He was around the name change!

Just to step everyone down from how uncomfortable that is, I'm gonna leave this here as a midway point back to whatever the fuck passes for baseline these days.
