I know other countries have better parental leave than the US but are there any countries that have taxpayer-funded retreat centers and 6 months of paid leave after you’ve been sexually assaulted

It’s also called the Seattle Process because it’s been so baked into the neoliberal culture here

I think a lot about how my taxes paid the cop who beat me for sleeping outside when I was a homeless teenager

Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor never got writing credits on Tangerine. I wonder who Sean Baker stole from this time for Anora

I don’t want to see Anora because he didn’t credit Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor as writers for Tangerine. Without them, there is no movie.

I read all of Rand’s books while I was a homeless teenager, living in a cave, because I found the Ayn Rand Institute’s college scholarship application. I wrote an essay in my cave about how altruism was my true calling. Needless to say, I didn’t get the scholarship

I’m curious if you know what her username means β€” houseinhabit. Is it like a house shrouded in a nun’s habit? Because that’s kind of terrifying imagery

It was mostly based on future speculation about groundbreaking GMO research in the mid 90s to make tomatoes more frost resistant with flounder or salmon genes. So for class I wrote about the ethics of not disclosing animal GMO plant products for kosher / halal / Jain / vegetarian etc shoppers

Love this one! I wrote an essay on the ethics of not disclosing this on food labels in middle school in the 90s!

Elon having college-age kids on DOGE is so much like how the cult I grew up in, the "Moonies" mostly recruited on college campuses.

Young & impressionable, they don't yet have a wealth of career experience to compare this job to. So they'll do their best to prove themselves without question.

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country.

In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

Me last summer: β€œI don’t feel well.”

Doctor: β€œAre you in pain?”

Me: β€œI don’t know. What is pain? I’m in discomfort. A lot of discomfort.”

[Doctor orders labs]

Doctor: β€œAre you sure you’re not in pain because your kidneys are murdering you rn”

I stupidly hoped that because I’ve been sexually assaulted so many times before that it’d be easy to bounce back this time or something

My migraines were under control until I was sexually assaulted a month ago. Now I start each day unable to see any light without vomiting so that’s neat
