I should hope they'd be able to separate attraction from their own daughters, however.
And it's largely "societal norms" that have made young girls attractive to men. Many fashion models, for example, are between 14 and 18 years old. The media has been sending out problematic signals for ages.

I wish they would as well. Very much!!

It is telling that the rapist in chief is surprised at US citizens' unwillingness to let the story drop. It shocks him, because abusing little girls means less than nothing to him (or to those like him). He lacks the human decency to even imagine that anyone feels legitimate outrage over this case.

I could have gotten a shot at my last doctor's appointment, but of course it didn't start hurting until the very next day. Now it's either wait another month or pay an extra $100. Classic timing!

Your approach is the correct one. I'd be the first to admit that the Whiney Bitch in me is winning lately, and I know I'm not helping anyone by letting her have her way.
It may not always be evident, but I do very much enjoy the positivity in your words!

Insomniac Version 😑:

I am up very early in my mourning.
For the days bleed into sleepless nights.
I grieve for humanity, too silent, when rage is required.
I hear echoes of dreams I had, when I better knew my bed.
I see sacks of darkness, burdens blooming beneath my eyes
which once held hope.

Dear Men,

Every day that women do not burn it ALL down is a bloody miracle.

We have watched 2 brilliant women get passed over for the job by a serial rapist with COUNTLESS victims.

He had ZERO qualifications.

Please speak out every day.
Call your reps.
Call out BS around you.

My question exactly. I can't comprehend anyone even thinking this way to begin with, but then taking it that extra step and admitting he thinks that way?? As far as I'm concerned, it's an admission of guilt, and guys like that shouldn't be allowed anywhere near little girls!

It's past time for ALL women, including the Ivanka Trumps, Laura Ingrahams, Karoline Leavitts, and even the barely-human Boeberts and Noems to stand up in defense of little girls bought, sold, and assaulted by their male counterparts. I don't know how these gals sleep at night. It's such a betrayal.

They are such violent, rude, hateful people. I'm not sure if it's nature, nurture, or a combo of both, mixed well in the Faux News blender, but it's definitely out of control!

Right after trump was elected the first time, I was talking to a friend about him being attracted to his own daughter. We were in a coffee shop, and a magat overheard me. He immediately jumped into our conversation, and claimed that this is how ALL men think; no shame at all. I pray he wasn't a dad.

🤢 🤮

Yep. 💯

Girls over the age of consent?

I need this in my wardrobe...

The little worm is probably on the list himself.

This got stupid a very long time ago. It's always the ones pointing the finger at others isn't it? It has been clear for ages now that drag queens and members of the LGBTQ+ community are definitely NOT the people children need to be concerned about.

Same. I avoided FB forever, but finally had to start an account using my real name for work. Within three days I'd been contacted by two exes. (I ditched the account as soon as I left that job!)

They should just put photos of all the elected officials (and appointees) on the religious-right next to the word "hypocrites" in the dictionary.

Two things that shouldn’t be for profit: prisons and healthcare, because the incentive for harm is too great.

Keep ’em sick.
Keep ’em locked up.
keep the checks coming.

Best case scenario is that everyone boycotts Paramount, and Trek ultimately falls into more capable hands. Given it's politics, anyone merged with Skydance certainly won't put any emphasis on traditionally "Trek" values.

I'm the only person with my full name (according to all online searches), and am far too easy to find, so I wouldn't use my real name on any social media platform. That said, I'm nowhere near to being an "influencer" of any kind, so it hardly matters.

I do not want it!!

Women who raise children pretty much on their own are fucking super-heros.
I could NOT do it.

I am parting ways with Lyrica, forever. Seriously. One week on the stuff may reduce my need for pain medications, but it also turns my reflection into
THIS:

These are the folks with the ability to grab children of the streets and detain them indefinitely.
Children in this country (and others) aren't at all safe from the straight, GOP, "Christian" men in our country.

Bajorans prefer spicy food, so I've leaned mostly in that direction. We should do a combo cookbook (an effort to reconcile Cardassia and Bajor following the Dominion War). I've been trying to figure out sand peas and Yamok sauce for a while now...

I've always felt I'd have had a better chance of surviving under Sisko's command. Pretty sure Kirk and Picard would have gotten me blasted right in my red shirt almost instantly.
