Every day I think about how Freud couldn’t handle the idea of all these women he treated being victims of sexual predation in childhood so he came up with other theories to explain it away

okay based on my research (read: checking the comments on a couple reddit posts that came up in search results), whole milk is the easiest to steam so I asked my partner to get some on this grocery trip and yeah, way the fuck easier
I tried nonfat yesterday and it literally just got hot lmao

I've been steaming soy milk and drinking it straight in the afternoon/evening when it's all cold and dark out (read: below 65°F) to practice
soy milk because that's what we have around but I might start getting 2%
although I think one person said nonfat is best for cappuccinos?

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

I was talking with a friend of mine today about that outlook one needs to have in order to deeply change systems. It's a squishy sort of emotion that we can't name or label cleanly, but she inspired me to write down my best attempt at describing it. What do you think?

Personality trait psychology has a lot to effing answer for imho
Researchers are now saying that AI can find correlations between facial characteristics and success on the job.
The Economist says that corporations would have a “strong incentive” to deploy this technology when looking at applicants.

Segregation is not a one-time thing that happened in the past. It's a thing that requires active effort to maintain.
Any neighborhood that you see with no Black people in it, is not because of a historical problem. It's because things are happening *today* that stop Black people from moving there.
