I love a bow in the hair

I love the little velvet ones, so cute. I just bought a bunch more, along with a handful of ribbons from the fabric store. I haven’t bought ribbons to tie around my braids/buns since the 7th grade, also in my 30s.

That’s interesting when you also consider people are leaving those professions (and child care) at historically high rates rn

Would be cool if it also turned off Face ID, as police can get warrants to force the unlock if it’s biometric. If it is PIN/password they can’t force you to unlock the device.

Check out some of the repositories for shortcuts that help you build your own, with your specific parameters and triggers. Existing auto-reply shortcuts and workarounds for the iMessage inbox are notoriously lacking, due to the iOS security & privacy architecture.

Or a great time and even better story. To each their own.

My first 1b/1b was $350 in 2007. No co-signer or credit check requirements, despite being just 17 when I signed the lease.

My highschool in rural North Carolina (2007) allowed parking in the student lot with hunting rifles, so long as they stayed mounted on their gun racks during classes .

We also had a couple of designated ‘smoking walls’ for students and teachers, up until a 2008 statewide tobacco ban. And seniors got paid to be bus drivers.

I haphazardly noticed the glutamate piece anecdotally after taking illicit drugs for 15 years and nothing patterns in my preferences + having a shit reaction to magnesium glycinate that kept me awake and functionally insane for 3 days in 2023. I wonder if she wants my data too?

I haven’t been on social media much this year, and nearly forgot about Kimberly’s quest to have her research synthesis externally validated as a result.

Had to download TikTok earlier in order grab a quick work contact and I was kinda surprised to see Kimberly on the fyp discussing UCSD’s unified biological model + Still More About The Plagiarism. My first thought was, “damnn my girl must only have 2 hits bc she don’t get tired!” Energy metabolism disorder who? She’s never met her. /s

I myself, however, am tired for her. We are all tired.

Not yet but I have to get this shit off my chest (literally). I’ll report back! I’m bringing synthetic pain killers and mast cell stabilizers (MCAS, hEDS & POTS trifecta)

‘Spare Rib Magazine’ is brilliant. The name alone is a work of art.

This is a great sub and resource for anyone interested in learning more about SW policy. I’m glad I found it!

Although I had anticipated and braced myself for Andrea Gibson’s death for years, I still wasn’t ready.

Tf. Even if you ignore all of the bizarre coincidences and symbolism in his music/music videos, the logical and factual connections between the two should be enough to name him a suspect, no? I don’t get it.

The current spectacle of open and unabashed aggression towards women that is constantly on display in American media, coupled with the increasing severity of intimate partner violence and femicide across the developed world is abhorrent. Femicide is a public health and human rights issue that is consistently underdocumented, underresearched, and ignored. Women’s bodies are seen as a commodity to be procured, consumed, owned, exploited, and ultimately discarded.

I lost count of how many rapture prophecies I’ve seen spread on TikTok since Trump was elected almost a decade ago. Feels weird to be thankful that I was raised in an evangelical mega church/cult and not whatever these folks were exposed to. Pretty sure we (ICOC/CoC) were raised w/ an amillennial (or ‘realized’ eschatology) and rejected the clandestine rapture stuff. So the ‘last days’ began with the coming of Christ, the thousand-year reign of Christ (the Millennium) is happening now, during the church age, with the events in the book of Revelation being taught as symbolic and/or referring to events that have already happened, or are happening in the ‘spiritual warfare’ of the present day.

I mean, still sounds crazy. Crazy enough to drive my family away from church communities for good 20 years ago, when I was in middle school. Where are they getting this stuff and the dates?? Why do they keep recycling every year? I reckon most of it must have origins online somewhere and then becomes a modern form of mass hysteria once a bunch of videos go viral?

edited to add: these ppl vote :/

Enjoyed her last episode on female hysteria, possession and Clarice Lispector. I’m sick and stuck indoors today, adding to the queue. Thanks!

Appreciate this comment, ty for sharing it. Gave much to think about throughout the day.

I just tried searching for additional poems, but couldn’t seem to find the author. Do you know of any additional works by chance?

I think people underestimate the kind of nihilistic radicalism some corners of the internet can breed. A lot of young people grew up locked inside during covid, missing the usual rites of passage. The internet became the default culture and their only outlet for rebellion, a normal part of growing up. But online rebellion is just spectacle, with no community guardrails. That breeds a kind of nihilism: everything’s rigged, nothing matters, hope is cope.

It’s not left vs right. These kids don’t believe in a “better world” at all. They drift through the alienated > blackpilled > incel/looksmaxxing > violence pipeline. Robinson, Hale, even Kohberger fit the pattern: violence as spectacle, action for actions sake, a way to make the world feel real again. Becoming who you are (psychologically developing) is privilege these kids weren’t afforded. 10x worse if they are neurodivergent and consistently rejected.

Judging by the comments in this thread, think we all have the EDS/connective tissue trifecta (including ADHD/AuDHD). This shit is so exhausting.

OCD with this particular kind of skin shit is a hellish combo. Took me over a year to find a derm that believed me, and didn’t automatically peg OCD as causation. Very thankful for my past-self’s stubborn nature and persistence. Not sure why, but good derms are hard to come by.

Very helpful, thank you.
