baristas deserve 100 dollars per hour

there's a whole culture of mostly white women whose entire personality is "Don't talk to me before I've had my coffee or ill kill you" and a barista's job is to deal with those people before they've had their coffee

"Outfit repeater" is such a dumb insult. Yes, I like my clothes and will wear them. You sound like a Tiktoker who does Shein hauls. Ratio.

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

Thinking about this conversation from Discord

Now see, this really pisses me off (the “kids are resilient” thing, not your response to it) because there has been study after study about what actually happens!!!

If the kid receives support during/after the traumatic event, they get stronger.

If the kid does not receive support during/after the traumatic event, they get fucked up.

True resilience in kids has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been the result of the support they receive.

One thing about me is I would always prefer the found family be unhealthily codependent little freaks than “grow up” and become people that only see each other or talk on special occasions. I want them ENMESHED in each other’s lives PERMANENTLY.

Essential information of previous post:

  • A product called "i can't believe it's not estrogen" by a company called "estrolabs" is being advertized on Twitter.
  • It is not estrogen. It is ashwagandha.
  • The active ingredient increases your lutenizing hormone, which will cause your body to produce more of whichever sex hormone it produces endogenously.
  • If you have testes, this will increase your testosterone levels.

If you are transfem, this shit will increase your testosterone levels.

They are lying to you to take your money. Don't fucking touch it. Tell your friends and family.

If you're desperate, DIY is an option. The subreddit r/TransDIY is an excellent resource, as is the DIY Wiki.

If what you really want is a herbal supplement, there are certain herbs that will have a minor antiandrogenic effect. The DIY resources here will have more information on it.

Edit: the dose of ashwagandha is so high that it will give you serotonin syndrome within four to eight weeks. This shit is evil.

i think there should be more options on the ultimatum beyond “leaving engaged to the person you came with, leaving with someone else, or leaving alone”…. like i know it would destroy the format of the show but i think the MOST desirable option would be for the ultimatum giver to retract the ultimatum and go to therapy 🙃

The Ultimatum Queer Love reunion thoughts:

Vanessa: most improved. Tbh she just made a terrible first impression bc from ep 5 she wasn't as terrible as people made her out to be. She was just loud, brash, and had no tact. And she seems to have done some introspection!

Lexi: why is she still so annoying towards vanessa??? Like you won! You got your love! Leave Vanessa alone girl, and shut the fuck up sometimes.

Aussie: still hasn't come out?? Yall been engaged a year my g 😭😭

Mildred: the worst person objectively!!! Homygawd put her under the jail

Mal: I've come around to her because holy shit, being proven right in the worst way sucks

Yoly & xander: they FOR SURE hooked up and are lying. Yoly, omg, what a villain! Xander, no backbone and no accountability

Tiff: glad they got out

Rae: needs to STAND UP

Sam: perfect baby angel, 10/10 no notes (even though I wanted her to choose herself 😭)

idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine
