I have memories of my parents telling their memories describing pretty heavy neglect when I was 0-3. I have a lot of vivid memories of abuse beyond that point, and it’s like therapy and education just bring up more. I dunno what else to do with my life but obsess over how to help prevent it for future generations however possible

Most people start retaining more concrete memories around three. It’s when we develop object permanence iirc

Fuck, am I!?

We’re the most social creatures on the planet. It may not sway anyone, but it could help keep moral up for those of us more at risk for skipping from sheer depression or apathy.

The amount of passive aggression I expressed in my teens like this was too damn high. I’ve kept my Facebook but haven’t posted in years and have been systematically hiding posts as they pop up in my memories page.

I’m still working on it, but y’all, I suggest if you struggle like I do with people pleasing, take a day or two to consider if it is worth directly bringing up to someone. Sometimes that silence or passive aggression becomes enabling. We can’t expect people to care about hurting our feelings if we don’t learn to express that hurt in healthy ways

Note: this only applies for those that can accept healthy communication of hurt feelings and adjust their behavior. If you communicate directly that you were hurt and the person doesn’t care, fuck em

Which is why we’re also seeing entire maternity wards shut down. Doctors can’t provide care without risking being jailed or being sued for malpractice, so they just won’t practice at all.

I mean, as a woman in my 30s, same. I’m not worried about it or anything, like if I meet someone that’s great, but why stress over it? Dating is supposed to be fun. If you’re stressing out, take a break. There’s no rush. I say that knowing I only have so much time left to have kids, but again, stressing over it doesn’t help

Imagine telling women who have experienced extreme violence that your solution for them is further violence. I cannot own a gun for my mental health. We can protect everyone by working to prevent violence.

I was reinforcing the request. I did a couple general prompts with your claim and think there’s some research to support it, though it’s not much; and, as with anything, there’s nuance.

Shit, I only have two songs so far. Let me rephrase: requests are necessary

Well hey, good news! She wants to raise the minimum wage, too. But I see that as a side step, as well. Stronger worker/union rights overall would be ideal.

That and workers rights, please. And education. And childcare. And general healthcare.

We have some in the Midwest as well

Ah, one of my favorite numbers to sing to my limited captive audience. ITS THE FINAL CAT MEOWWWW

Full album will be available spring 2026. Requests welcome.

In this service gig economy, the $50k is absolutely huge. How many can use that to start up serious independent social media channels? Don’t mind me over here day dreaming. That’s a good year salary to try to generate income, and if successful can create more jobs by hiring extra help for editing, management, etc. Think of it like a drop in the bucket with what Putin was willing to pay propagandists per episode.

Also, $35k sounds like a good down payment in most states

Total tangent here, but I have a lot of cognitive dissonance around Butker. I mean I call him Butt Kicker. He’s an amazing athlete but has gross political ideas and power.

What’s dumber, I was upset to hear Brittany Mahomes passively endorsed Project 2025. I wasn’t terribly surprised that’s her stance, but seeing her confirm it and quickly backtrack with petty bullshit just. Ugh. Meanwhile, our other star players Kelce and Mahomes are keeping their mouths shut as Swift is taking heat. Idfk. Just a bunch of drama that makes me feel like I’m back in high school, but the stakes are much, much higher.

One of my favorite pass times is asking ChatGPT my hypotheses with prompts to search the web for academic sources (the free version is limited, but it works for a good few prompts over a few hours and let’s you know when the cool down period is over).

Any time we make claims, it’s very likely at this stage of human technology that there’s research on it you can access and hone ideas around. Anecdotes can be really powerful in driving our interests and pursuit of knowledge, but I think we should always check in and be aware we’re biased, fallible, sometimes hypocritical creatures.

Wait what? I can’t tell if you’re serious, but if so, I’d love to see research on the first part of your comment. If you were joking please feel free to ignore me.

“If you listen to her, you’re stupid and shouldn’t vote” is my favorite emotionally abusive narrative.

Fuck these creeps. To anyone that felt inspired by Swift, you deserve to feel empowered.
