From a lay perspective, this feels mostly like an ad/fluff piece, but the opportunity for an open source, long form source for sound classification still seems useful.

Any expert opinions??

We have so many records of ancient raiders claiming that some "primitive out-group is disgusting," but you have to imagine that millions of years of evolution wouldn't allow for chronic death and infertility.

How much of globally endemic pelvic suffering exists because Ukip spread their underflora?

No really, are there any studies on feminine hygiene in prehistory and history that include epidemiology of initially low or no contact groups vs. post-colonization?

Could some of today's most annoying global feminine hygiene problems be related to asshole marauders and their jock itch?

My ever-present, childhood obsession with disease transmission is just doing its usual thing, and then my wife points out, "I wonder about natural pelvic and vaginal microflora."

How did more geographically segregated prehistoric populations handle exposure to foreign microflora?

ADHD puts your brain on spiraling loop cycles from minutes to days to weeks and beyond. Frequency illusion, but you do it to yourself and thus perpetuate the thought.

So anyway: Feminine hygiene (aka basic medicine) throughout prehistory and history has been bouncing around my brain.

Billionaire-owned Washington Post really put out an article about how SNAP beneficiaries are lazy freeloaders and their kids eat too much anyway. Every day is a good day to cancel your subscription.

does anyone know people who do sensitivity reading/cultural consulting for fanfiction?

I don't think I'll need much but for writing Sam Wilson I should probably at least talk about some scenes and story beats with someone beforehand

My only hope at this time is that the eugenicist business class who seem to be championing this end up with such severe illness from their own evils that they restore it before kids are permanently maimed or killed from these exposures.

If this occurs, there will need to be literal border checks between states to prevent nationwide outbreaks. I have to imagine a passport marking a Florida resident will cause people to be blocked from international flights to some nations too.

And it's all in service to fear and suspicion.

Point of note, with loss of housing, a lot of people won't have a kitchen to work with.

Creating a communal kitchen option for individual neighborhoods may be necessary. Coordinating with local health groups (food hygiene), fire safety, cold weather safety, etc will be vital.

We refuse to let neighbors go hungry while politicians posture. We can stand up a street-level safety net in days. Neighborhood plan: "Block Food Steward" model One steward per block. A volunteer with a single shelf or 2-3 totes of staples who coordinates quiet, no-shame help. Starter shelf (suggested): 10 lb rice • 10 lb dry beans • 8 lb pasta 12 cans vegetables • 12 cans protein (tuna/chicken/beans) 2 large peanut butter • 2 shelf-stable milk packs • 1 cooking oil Baby formula (sealed), diapers (mixed sizes), wipes, soap, toothpaste

How it works: 1. Steward posts once to the block group: "I've got a small shelf of staples. DM 'BAG' no questions asked." 2. Keep a simple in/out tally; rotate oldest first; replace what's used. 3. If demand spikes, steward pings the block: "NEED: 6 cans, 2 pastas, diapers size 4." 4. For larger needs, handoff to a local food bank. Privacy and dignity first—no photos, no public names. Comment to volunteer: STEWARD - [Your Street Name] Comment to donate: DONOR - [Item or $ pledge] Need help? DM me the word BAG. No shame.

Volunteer at food banks this week. Show up for a 2-hour shift. Sorting, bagging, intake, there's a role for everyone. Donate smart. Shelf-stable staples first; ask for priority items before dropping off. Be kind to clerks. They didn't create this mess. They're catching the fallout. Hunger is not a negotiating tactic. Contact your state and federal reps today and demand: An immediate SNAP/WIC bridge with retroactive benefits. No more hostage-taking of basic nutrition assistance.

De-link food aid from unrelated fights. Fix the pipeline, then debate policy. No politics at the pantry door. We help first, argue later. No purity tests. If someone says they're short on food, we feed them. Dignity and privacy. DM, porch drop-offs, initials only. Safety: sealed formula only, check dates, store cool/dry, pet-safe. The Timeline? Tonight: Name stewards; seed each shelf with a starter kit. Within 48 hours: Every block has at least one steward, a group text, and a small reserve.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP

This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1.

Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.

We have less than two days until Nov 1. Give, volunteer, and spread the word.

The solution here is to do everything in our power to support each other. To prevent riots and keep state governments empowered to cast out MAGA/Project 2025 terrorists (ICE, DOGE, etc) from their borders.

To hold strong even as we tighten our belts.

Empathy and open doors.

This destruction of government services ahead of a cold winter is about the Insurrection Act.

It's about Trump signing fascism into full effect.

No protest will be allowed. No journalism to cover violations of rights. No freedom of speech to talk about it. "Speech against ICE is terrorism."

SNAP benefits going down isn't to protect Epstein. It's to cause food riots.

The same is true for Medicare/Medicaid going down and RFK Jr being allowed to cause mass illness. Riots over healthcare.

If there's mass riots, or even one, they have their media arms spin up fears of insurrection.

Epstein is an issue, without question, but it's not the reason the House remains shut down. It's shut because they want Trump (really Miller, Thiel, Vaught, etc) to have unmitigated power to implement control over the US.

It's about dismantling America without the barrier it the Legislature.

I like being wrong. It's nice to have my anxieties told to sit down, shut up, and act appropriately.

I just wish I was completely wrong.

I predicted starvation and thugs and racist enslavement from Project 2025. The "how" was the question.

I was wrong about the how, but it's still happening.

We are not safe until hate has no place to hide. We are not a nation until we eliminate all privilege that divides us.

Passing isn't a privilege. It's a delayed death sentence in a racist world.

For folks like me, that means it's even more important that we fight against racism and bigotry by exposing claims like "it's all in the past" or "they're just joking" for the abuse that they deliberately hide.

Black-and-white portrait of Walter F. White, a light-skinned Black man in a suit and tie, photographed from the chest up. He has closely cropped hair and a serious expression.

He looked white but wasn’t. Walter F. White was a Black journalist who used that “invisibility” to investigate 40+ lynchings across the Jim Crow South. He risked his life pretending to be what America pretended didn’t exist.

Just because a creator isn't living on the streets and can stream, doesn't mean that they're perfectly okay. Ripping at each other over who's drowning more helps no one.

We don't pull each other down into the abyss, we lock arms and kick up.

If there’s a primary, core reason for my (and many others’, I imagine) plummeting mental health in the past 5 years, this is it.

It haunts me. It enrages me. It frightens me.

The construct is not the gender. Just because culture demands you go shirtless and get skin cancer to impress ladies on the beach, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

The only real mandate is that we're kind and considerate to each other. Everything else is just you being you.

If you like adrenaline, do it (safely). Women evolved in the same environment as men 20,000 years ago. I don't think sabertooth tigers stopped before a bite and asked whether someone was male or female. Nor do I think Regina the cave lady would refuse to defend herself from said tiger.

Of course there's more to it. Non-binary is as complex as living in gender binary. And that doesn't solve the problem for others who aren't non-binary and want to fit in with their peer gender norms...or does it?

If you like pretty in pink, do it. You don't stop being a man for act of color.

And then I was free. I was free to act femme if I cared to in social situations. I was free to act masc too. I was free to be neutral and just human. And being simply human, unadorned by any ridiculous mandates like dress or attitude or roles or actions, is just so pleasant to be.

No, no it isn't gender, it's culture masquerading as such. Mr. Rogers was just as much of a man as Platner, but instead of being a putz like Platner, Fred Rogers recognized that a man is a partner, parent, neighbor, and friend.

There is no value in your gender. It simply is.

Platner and most of modern male culture assumes struggling and suffering because it's manly. It involves hazing and hierarchy because "men must be competitive." Aggression is rewarded, and stubbornness in the face of stark reality is a mark of male perfection.

But is that gender?

A benefit of realizing I'm Pan and Enbi is that I don't need to play gender games in how I engage with things. Much of my struggle with my own existence was in trying to understand why I wasn't "manly" enough around male peers, no matter how hard I tried.

And then it clicked. "It doesn't matter."
