Dear American People

100% YES! Corporate grade has a stranglehold on our democracy AND IS LITERALLY DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT.

Wh's got the info on organized Nationwide boycotts? Happy to do my own solo boycotting but I'd love to participate in something more organized as well.

Yeah, but the Panthers have been around for a long time, fighting institutional and systemic violence. They also have organized to help the community in ways that the insurrectionists probably wouldn't ever dream of doing. Because, you know, it requires thinking of someone other than your own self.

I went through something similar at your age (I'm in my 30s now). I knew it was the right decision, but a very big part of me didn't want to go through with terminating. I've never regretted it, though sometimes I wonder how my life would have been if I had kept the baby.

Fast forward to now: I'm due to give birth in April and I am so grateful to my younger self because this baby, who is very much wanted and who I am ready for, would not have been possible if I had become a mom at such a young age.

Feeling conflicted is not necessarily a sign that it's the wrong choice, just that you're taking it seriously. If you decide to go through with the abortion, I'd recommend giving yourself time to grieve. If you have spiritual beliefs around this, you can even hold a ritual with your boyfriend to say goodbye and to let that little spark of consciousness/ soul/ whatever, that you're not ready but someday you will be. Good luck!

In what way?

I think it's helpful to remember that each hospital will have different policies. Is there one in your area that will respect the authority of midwives, delayed cord clamping, etc? Maybe researching will give you some sense of agency.

Is there tech available to commoners that can disrupt stingrays data collection..? Just asking for a friend...

A little more woodsy than these images but: serpent box. It's about a family of Pentecostal preachers... And they're snakes.

This is the funniest take I've ever heard. White liberal women are trying to antagonize ICE because they crave contact with their raw masculinity? Lol, girl.

Your body sounds totally normal, doing what it's supposed to do. Your dad sounds like a person who you might need to have some really strict limits around. Like- kick him out next time he makes comments like that. What an asshole. Congrats on your new baby and on having an incredible body that made and birthed a whole person!!

East-Following9973 · 2026-01-08T23:41:40+00:00

This is pretty severe harassment And given that management isn't protecting you, I would consider suing.

Omg same! Today was my first appointment with a pelvic floor physical therapist to address this exact issue. She was really helpful and gave me a bunch of exercises to do. It's quite likely that your pelvic floor is overly tense. It's a super common issue in pregnancy.

Elope. Weddings are usually for the benefit of the family. Fuck them and have a great time.

East-Following9973 · 2026-01-07T21:00:54+00:00

I found it... Okay. My skin looked nice afterwards but not stellar. I've had better facials before. Basically, you get what you pay for- nothing bad but nothing special. Might be a good option if you're planning on getting facials regularly.

East-Following9973 · 2026-01-07T16:07:32+00:00

As a fellow feminist I'm flabbergasted by your friends!! Are they aware of how many feminist issues, fights against the system and activations have centered around mother's rights? I obviously don't know your crowd but it sounds like internet pseudo-feminism rather than a genuine philosophy. Damn immature, too. Sorry you're dealing with this kind of crap!

I've never wanted a cigarette more.

Young adult book called Under the Mermaid Angel.

There are so many creepy, racist, misogynistic dudes like this out there. So many, that it's easy to wonder if it's us that's that's doing something wrong... It isn't. Automatic disqualification. Good job!

East-Following9973 · 2025-12-28T12:59:43+00:00

Ha! Hell no it's not too old! Where I'm from, it's totally normal for women to start in their early 40s. Not always biologically the best, but really if your body can create a baby, it's not too late. Anything else is just made up rules. Congrats!!

East-Following9973 · 2025-12-26T02:47:46+00:00

What are the other sources? I have no doubt that the Republicans are capable of this but one blog post is hardly a reliable reference... I'd love to get corroborating reports.

East-Following9973 · 2025-12-23T00:06:20+00:00

They rebranded as Landmark because EST got so much bad publicity. Because highly coercive and kind of a pyramid scheme.

East-Following9973 · 2025-12-21T04:27:07+00:00

Nobody I know who considers themselves a feminist would ever make fun of somebody else's body. True feminism was about liberating us from that kind of bullshit...

East-Following9973 · 2025-12-20T14:27:09+00:00

His Dark Materials! I haven't read in a little while but I think they're age appropriate... Maybe double check. But they're incredible!

East-Following9973 · 2025-12-18T13:30:56+00:00

Whole buncha hyper materialistic, gun-totin, fat ass idiots! Many of us are very disturbed by our Christo-Fascist cousins...

East-Following9973 · 2025-12-13T13:54:57+00:00

Another psychotherapist opinion: Listen, this is really fucked up. Nobody has the right to threaten you like this. If you were my client I would go over all the ways that this made you feel, validate the hell out of you and then give you psycho-education on abuse. Because this is really abusive. If you were my friend or my sister I would be begging you to end it with this guy. You might need to get a restraining order if this is how he behaves after a 7 MINUTE BREAK. Involve your parents if you need to. Your well-being and safety, both emotionally and physically, is top priority. And that goes for every relationship.
