All of this has been a test of your collective morality and way too many people fucking failed.

If OU sides with that student for that essay—which was written so poorly she should truly be ashamed to have written it at her big age—I’m gonna want a refund for all my degrees, which will no longer have much value once the world sees academic rigor no longer exists there.

some folks will do anything to sound well read except for reading any books

It’s official. I am Toad.

First time having a guy try to pick me up by promising marriage…What year is this????

“This could ALL be yours…”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

i’m being radicalized by peacock charging $10.99 per month and having A MILLION COMMERCIALS

CPTSD survivors often experience this urge to apologize, again & again, to everyone & anyone-- & also this simultaneous resentment at feeling the need to apologize or justify anything to anyone.

It's like a tug of war between our "fawn" & "fight" trauma responses.

being canceled is not a real thing, it is a neologism describing the stigma that should come from bad behavior. the only consequences that come from it are the ones we collectively imposed, and as the last decade has shown, no one with institutional power is interested in that.

"My poll numbers have never been better."

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

Survival mode is supposed to be a phase that helps save your life. It is not meant to be how you live. -Michele Rosenthal

It's just really hard for me to comprehend how somebody could watch a Charlie Kirk video and think "This is informative and he makes a good point"

Like, maybe it's the fact that I have an actual university level education, but come the fuck on.

Reintroduced Carnivores’ Impacts on Ecosystems Are Still Coming Into Focus - Inside Climate News Yellowstone has long been a mecca for scientists studying how predators affect everything from elk grazing to vegetation height. They are still debating how to make sense of what they’ve learned.

Wolves didn’t “fix” Yellowstone because ecosystems aren’t machines. Elk, beavers, bison, drought, trails… everything interacts.
What remains consistent? Human impacts still drown out ecology. Yellowstone exposes the myth of ecosystem resilience.

Nuance: a day off is a day off, and those are hard to come by in a system is brutal as this one. Rituals are important & getting together with loved ones is something we should be doing more, not less.

ALSO Thanksgiving as conceived is a celebration of genocide, as Indigenous folks have told us.

drugs (and there is no evidence that they were), drug dealing or smuggling is not punishable by death in OUR federal code.

Killing foreign nationals in international waters is a CRIME!

So it is a fucking unlawful order.

I'm really sorry that my chronic illness is such an inconvenience for you, but have you considered that maybe, just maybe, it is infinitely more inconvenient for me?

Survivors of religious & spiritual trauma can experience specific struggles around the winter holidays in particular that are misunderstood & unacknowledged by the culture-- so much so that survivors can learn to bury or belittle those struggles inside themselves.

I see you.

actuallychloehayes › millennials 20h serious question for the millennials... my older cousin said she used to 'burn' cds for her crush. like... with ? was that a ritual? did it work? you guys were literally practicing witchcraft just to get a text back. i'm scared of y'all. Q 2.9K

My favorite piece of content today.

That’s fine for when you decide to celebrate…but when outsiders ask how long you’ve been together, we dc about the specifics of when you put a label on it. Just give us a ballpark of how long you’ve been in each others lives. That’s what we’re asking. The property contract date doesn’t answer that.

This reply helped me realize why I find it so off-putting.

Ppl use “married” as shorthand for committed; same way ppl point to a person’s religion as proof they’re a good person. Objectively, they aren’t synonymous & unexamined acceptance of such commonplace things makes me question their judgment.

Still think we’re not there yet?

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered public schools in Texas to remove displays of the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

ICE is basically the comments section with weapons.

These lesions are actually really common in folks with migraines, so it’s probably nbd.

&, if it makes anyone feel any better…the psychic I saw a few weeks ago says I’m stuck here for many more years. &, given what all she knew without being told, she’s statistically more accurate than google.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Had an MRI on my brain, due to migraines, which found “FLAIR hyperintense lesions”…&, according to
Google results they’re either nothing to be particularly concerned about OR I’ve got dementia & will die in a couple weeks 🤣🤣🤣

I’m at the dentist & they play Jesus music here…only this must be someone’s personal playlist cuz between When We All Get to Heaven & I’ll Fly Away there was a random country song where he was singing about how he likes to have women he’s never had 🤣

Self-care is not as easy for trauma survivors as it may sound. We've been conditioned to deny our need for care ("needing" anything feels awfully vulnerable) & to prioritize others at our own expense.

Learning self-care can be like learning a new language as an adult-- awkward.
