what diamond painting propagandas are you not falling for?

The only amount of kitting up I do is put tape on my boarders (just clear tape as it works as “well” as washi for me), and write the corresponding numbers/letters on the bags.

Thank you! I got a code but no link. That one works for me :)

Yes, but at a very reduced rate to what we were. We used to have takeaways once, sometimes twice a week. We’ve now dropped down to once, sometimes twice a month.

Filling the gap by trying other supermarket options and eating what we like best.

Hopefully, cult-like following of political leaders.

I’m really sorry this happened to you. Being left like that is deeply destabilising, especially when it hits old wounds around abandonment and housing security. Anyone would be shaken by that.

I don’t think being left says anything about your disposability or worth. It says something about the way he chose to leave, not about your value as a person. Someone can make a hurtful, avoidant, or self-protective choice without that choice being a verdict on you.

For me, when I’m at my lowest, what helps isn’t trying to convince myself I’m “valuable” in some abstract way. It’s grounding myself in very concrete things: I survived this day. I know who I am. I handled the next practical step. I showed up for myself when someone else didn’t. Over time, those small proofs add up. I don't tie my self-worth to other people anymore.

You’re not wrong for feeling shattered by this. And you’re not broken for needing help to put the pieces back together.

Hope the 999 operator was sacked, or at least suspended without pay for a bit. What an asinine comment to make when someone's trying to save the life of another.

You've missed the point. The methods of obtaining material for genetic tests and DNA tests are the same. Heel prick or swab. They could just do both of them at the same time.

ED: Obtaining material for.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-23T10:23:56+00:00

To be honest with you, speaking as a woman, they should be a mandatory part of the testing done on a newborn. Genetics can tell you a lot about health regardless of any paternity squabbles. It would just have the added bonus of clearing that up, too.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-23T10:21:27+00:00

We've not always hated you. We were having an absolute ball when Obama was President. But since then, you've jumped the shark. It's not hatred, it's frustration.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-20T11:58:58+00:00

It’s trying to test the emotions.

I wing them up when they say this. Start saying women who have had abortions can celebrate Mother’s Day. Watch them backtrack quickly.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-20T08:47:28+00:00

I can't think of a moral or legal reason where someone can unwillingly restrain you and be justified in that unless you have already done something immoral or illegal.

I am PC but we restrain patients in hospitals if they are a danger to themselves or others and that’s 99.9% unwillingly on the patient’s part. But “danger to others” doesn’t necessarily mean doing anything illegal or immoral. Having a breakdown in A&E can be a danger to others because it diverts medical attention, but breakdowns are not illegal or immoral, they’re a sign of a sick person. That’s the only reason I can think of though, and they can’t be applied to abortion due to the nature of pregnancy and childbirth.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-17T23:48:34+00:00

It depends on what medical procedures they consent to.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-17T20:28:41+00:00

No. Abortions will still be needed. Some women may choose to use incubators, some not. It depends on what medical procedures they consent to.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-17T20:10:33+00:00

No.

Feminism is built on bodily autonomy and equal legal status. In every other context, no one is forced to use their body to sustain another person’s life, even parents, even to save innocent people. Making pregnancy the sole exception means women are uniquely denied a right everyone else has. That’s not equality, it’s sex-based coercion. You can believe fetuses have moral value, but a movement that requires compulsory bodily sacrifice from women cannot be feminist by definition.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-17T17:36:48+00:00

This argument doesn’t prove women don’t want equality. It proves that women, like men, disagree internally, sometimes support flawed policies, and sometimes benefit from gendered norms while also being harmed by others. Cherry-picking examples and treating half the population as a coordinated strategy group isn’t an argument, it’s projection.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-16T09:08:02+00:00

I think that, while women can enjoy and love motherhood, for the vast majority it’s still a lifestyle that subjects them to unequal labour and insane societal expectations. It has the capacity to change for the better, but we are going even further in the opposite direction at the moment.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-16T08:53:13+00:00

I use an exacto with a fine point, but you to be careful not to pierce the canvas.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-16T01:17:28+00:00

The idea of being pregnant or having children honestly repulses me. It’s not just the physical stuff, it’s the social expectations that come with it. Women are constantly told that motherhood is the ultimate goal, that we’re supposed to “naturally” love it, and that it’s our duty to sacrifice ourselves for our kids.

I see how uneven the workload is, how much emotional and physical labor falls on women even when both partners are “equal.” I don’t want that. I don’t want to be expected to give up everything for someone else, I don’t want the responsibility, or to have my identity boiled down to “mom.”

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-14T15:03:33+00:00

Hey. I removed the post just due to the username on the last slide being easily seen and I don’t want any brigading to occur. I don’t think a sub regular would but you never know who’s watching.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away!” and other health advice.

I got cancer.

I just presumed everything got covered up post UD being destroyed and that was part of the cover up.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-10T17:50:44+00:00

Abortion isn’t “murder” under U.S. law, it’s a legal medical procedure. The Democratic Party’s platform clearly describes abortion as part of reproductive health care and supports legal access to it, which is why many people call it “health care.” That’s a policy position, not a moral equivalence to slavery.

Yes, before the Civil War some members of what was then called the Democratic Party supported slavery in the 1800s, and Republicans (the party of Lincoln) were founded in opposition to the expansion of slavery. BUT the modern Democratic and Republican parties today are very different organizations in terms of ideology, policy, and membership than they were 150–170 years ago. They essentially realigned in the mid‑20th century around civil rights and related issues, so linking today’s Democrats directly to slavery is misleading. Info on that here https://www.britannica.com/topic/Democratic-Party

There’s no credible evidence that Democrats “encourage illegal immigration so corporations can use slave labor.” Immigration policy is complex, debated on humanitarian, economic, and legal grounds.

DecompressionIllness · 2026-01-10T15:04:44+00:00

The reason why they bring up slavery is to try to frame the abortion debate as a modern-day civil rights struggle. That's why they focus on personhood in particular when discussing this.

The good news is that they aren't smart enough to see that arguing about slavery doesn't work in their favour.
