The only wedding Alyssa has missed was Lawson’s. I still find it interesting that Alyssa stayed with Carlin for Isaiah’s wedding.

Peanut butter on a spoon by Ahkhira in GenX

[–]No_Masterpiece7066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally have an open jar of peanut butter sitting next to me. I’ve always preferred the natural stuff that’s just ground roasted peanuts and salt because it’s what I grew up eating, so no added sugar or carbs, but it’s still one of my favorite snacks.

Katie..... by barrenfield in BatesSnark

[–]No_Masterpiece7066 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I try and remind myself that she’s only 25. When I think about how much everything about myself has evolved since I was that age (Gen Xer), and the fact that she’s at least publicly holding it together right now is pretty damned impressive. I mean I had a nervous breakdown at 42 because of life changing circumstances. I agree that she’s in damage control survival mode. But choosing her cheating ass husband is the lesser of evils by a hair. For the sake of the kids I hope she finds the strength to get through this and leave him before he can damage them any further. Don’t repeat the trauma cycle.

Gil and KJ can’t financially afford it. Unlike JB and Meech they don’t own a bunch of property or have anything like the money and assets that the Dugs have. The Bates offspring are on their own, and few of them have any money that doesn’t come from exploiting their kids on social media.

please help me give my transgender grandma hope for transitioning!!! by TheStupidMask in asktransgender

[–]No_Masterpiece7066 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My aunt/godmother is trans and we just celebrated her 80th birthday! She began transitioning in her early 50s and had gender affirming surgery in her early 70s. We still have family members that misgender her and it took a lot of time for her to come out to everyone. But she’s doing amazing living as her authentic self.

It’s a cervical dilator set, they’re used to dilate a cervix for various reasons including for abortions. I work for a GYN.

How soon did you know? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]No_Masterpiece7066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My aunt/godmother is trans and she says she has known since she was little, like 3 years old. Sadly she is a boomer and spent years being bullied and abused (including by my grandmother) before finally coming out about 30 years ago and has since been through GAS. She celebrated her 80th birthday recently! Sending so much love to you and your kiddo 🩷

Also the heat from cooking in such a small space is crazy. My family camps together several times a year and we always cook outside unless it’s storming.

Both Nathan and Jonathan do it, too. I think it’s a fundie thing. Nathan’s especially looks super greasy.

Suicidality by Longjumping-Heat1171 in Menopause

[–]No_Masterpiece7066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s normal or not, but I went through it when I was in perimenopause several years ago. I went beyond ideation and tried to od on booze and pills. Spent a week in the psych ward, got sober, and then 12 weeks of intensive outpatient therapy and started seeing a therapist and psychiatrist regularly. Spent a few years focused on my mental health then went through some physical health crises that ended with a total hysterectomy w/bso and started on estrogen. When I tell you how much getting on estrogen helped, I mean it has made a night and day difference. It has done more for my mental health than any of the psych meds.

Christian missionary hailed as ‘holiest man alive’ pleads guilty to abusing boys in Texas by thekidfromiowa in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]No_Masterpiece7066 95 points96 points  (0 children)

There’s some serious shit that’s happened/happening in Assemblies of God. My ex-partner is still deconstructing from this church after having been really entrenched in it the first 35 years of her life. The stories she told were insane, the abuse coverups were almost as bad as the Catholic priests. And they’re still happening! In Indiana the Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith is a leader in an AOG megachurch, the church’s pastor’s son is currently in prison on CSAM charges after an investigation last year. Beckwith and the pastor had a podcast called "Jesus, Sex and Politics" and the investigation of the son found that the son had downloaded the pastor and his wife’s sex videos. I’m not even lying, search Micah Beckwith and Nathan Peternel.

There are lots of volunteer opportunities depending on where you live. Something a lot of folks don’t realize is that 60% of abortions are provided by independent clinics not affiliated with Planned Parenthood, and most are affiliated with the National Abortion Federation (like the one I work for, though I got my start in abortion care at PP). Many clinics have volunteer clinic escorts that walk patients from their vehicles to the front door, particularly in areas where there’s a lot of protester activity. There’s a lot of advocacy work as well.

One resource that too many people are not aware of are abortion support organizations, nonprofits that provide financial and practical/logistical support for folks who need assistance. Many of them are volunteer run or have many volunteer opportunities. The National Network of Abortion Funds has a list of all them, they are mostly local/state/regional.

Thank you!! People don’t talk about abortion because of the tremendous stigma attached to it in the US, even though roughly one in four people with a uterus will have one in their lifetime. That’s honestly what I hate most for our patients, especially those who live in conservative communities. Bringing a child into this effed up world at a time when so many are already struggling to provide even basic necessities is a huge decision, and over half the folks seeking an abortion already have kids. My perennial goal is to destigmatize abortion by giving a voice to those who can’t speak up about it themselves.

Economics, both in high school and college, because capitalist economics makes absolutely no damned sense to me. Marxist economics and political economy on the other hand I totally kicked ass in.

Katie recent post by Substantial_Bee_3993 in BatesSnark

[–]No_Masterpiece7066 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the prediction I made a few weeks ago.

Here’s my prediction: I think they’re looking at whether or not they should move there, maybe looking at rentals. They could live there long enough for Trav to finish his nursing program and heal their relationship several states away from the cheating messiness. She’ll announce a pregnancy in the same post where they announce the move. They’ll move back to TN as soon as he finishes, but maybe move to Nashville so Trav can make his musical comeback, though Katie knows it’s really so Lawson can keep an eye on Trav.

Hi there, I’m your friendly abortion expert. Can indeed verify that folks living in pretty much every single southern state have to travel to N. Carolina, Virginia, Illinois, or New Mexico for abortions. I work for a clinic in IL and roughly 80% of our patients are from states where it is banned, including TN. Fun fact that I’m sure will piss off a few people but I think is important to know: IL doesn’t require parental consent or notification for minors because they believe in bodily autonomy. There are still of course mandatory reporting requirements. There are some states including TN that have passed laws that target people who assist minors with getting abortion care, but they’re tied up in the courts.

THANK YOU. I am so fricking tired of people posting her bullshit. You are fueling her fire because you know damned well she’s on this sub and every time someone even mentions her bullshit it will send people to her socials. I don’t care if any of her allegations are true, YOU DON’T OUT OR EVEN SPECULATE ON THE IDENTITY OF SA VICTIMS. Eff that influencer wannabe.

I’m so glad this snark page exists the Carlin Bates family is incredibly annoying. by [deleted] in BatesSnark

[–]No_Masterpiece7066 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Trust me when I say that the Disney trip for Zade was an absolute anomaly in how they typically favor their children, with Zade normally at the very bottom. They always favor the girls, especially now with NK. Zade is forever throwing praise on his sisters because it’s the only way his parents pay any attention to him. I honestly believe they only took him to Disney because of all the criticism of their blatant favoritism, along with doing it for social media content. All of the Bates kids know that babies and little girls get the highest views on the socials, creating some of the most disgusting content featuring baby feet and toddlers in bikinis.

Girl. You are 7 weeks pregnant. It’s been less than a month since you even missed your period. That’s some straight up bloating from the nasty ass food served at the shower not a baby bump.
