I was watching a video and there was this ‘joke’. He sees a couple fighting and it seems really threatening and aggressive only for them to start passionately making out and the end of the gag is, ‘this is why I mind my own business.’
And I can’t help but think about how I’ve read about domestic abuse previously being seen as, ‘a personal issue’ a private matter that everyone might know is going on but no one’s really supposed to talk about. It’s convenient for abusive people when others mind their own business, it’s easier to isolate their victim and make them think what’s going on is normal. It’s convenient for them to be able to hide assaults behind the thin veneer of, ‘sex games’.
Remember that if you or someone you know is being preyed on by an adult while they are a minor, there is a cyber tipline that covers international cases. If you have had your nudes posted online before you were 18, there is also a method to get such material taken down and the perpetrator held legally accountable.
Didn't wanna add this to the last post bcs it's a bit off topic but HEY WHAT THE FUCK??
Wow! What a great idea, it's not like there's ever been a severe weather event that ended up killing a bunch of people who only speak Spanish because they did not have access to appropriate warning systems they could understand due to systemic racism treating them as disposable-OH WAIT NO THAT DID HAPPEN.
Actual horseshit. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the USA, this is just another sign that systemic racism continues to devalue the lives of anyone who isn't white and it will get people killed. I'm not kidding, I don't fuck around with severe weather warning systems, and if you take even the shallowest look at the history of meteorology in this country you will immediately see how many people have died due to not being properly informed about tornados and other natural disasters. Anything that makes it harder for the average person to know if a goddamn tornado is heading right for them or not is a miscarriage of social justice and should be corrected immediately.
Idk what can be done to restore the channel, but in the mean time please look out for your friends, family, and neighbors, especially if you live somewhere prone to natural disasters and extra especially if they don't speak English. If The Weather Channel won't step up to ensure that the flow of information is easily accessible to everyone who needs it we're gonna have to do it ourselves.
women can’t make satirical pieces without every self important loser insisting every word is sincere ignorance or simply going “not funny (would be funnier if it were a man)”. even among progressives it’s weirdly common to think women are not intelligent or funny enough to do satire or even just a bit with deadpan delivery
… Tbh it feels weird to judge any female celebrity for being mediocre while males get to be as boring as they want and make millions from it (and get to be the ones in charge of the industry at large)
In response to bans on trans women in women's sports, some have suggested that all sports leagues and competitions should be gender-desegregated and open to all, regardless of gender. Do you support this, and what effect do you think it would have on the number of women in professional sports, and their median pay?

A U.S.-born citizen was arrested in Florida on Wednesday and charged with illegally entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” Twenty-year-old Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez was detained for a day at the request of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, despite his mother producing his birth certificate and Social Security card at a court hearing.
Leon County Judge LaShawn Riggans inspected the birth certificate during a court hearing on Thursday, confirmed it was “an authentic document,” and said she found no probable cause for the charge, the Florida Phoenix reported. But a state prosecutor said that because ICE had asked the local jail to hold Lopez-Gomez, the court did not have the authority to grant his release.
… This book is so dumb in such obvious ways that it makes me think the people who keep recommending it to me didn’t actually read it.
Tbh it reads especially hollow when the ‘skirt go spinny’ crowd mocks the ‘I’m just a girl’ crowd. When a man does the same schtick they eagerly kiss his ass and feminism suddenly becomes being a killjoy asshole who hates women.
Husband can rape you,humiliate you,cut you into pieces or blend you into puree ,sell you into prostitution,donate your vital organs to his relatives leaving you dead...
Husband is god ,he can do anything to you no one will bat an eye.."but he is your husbanddd,let him cut you alive ,its your divine duty to obey and serve him"...
I hate the parents of the bride/ women the most ,to them their daughter is either burden or somebody's possession....
I don't care about the judicial system ,if somebody kills your child ...give them merciless death...that bastard should not breathe one extra breath !!
If you are not gonna love your daughter ,nobody in the world will...
I'm so exhausted of the femicides committed by men all over the world .
And the guy above who killed his wife by "unnatural" sex act should be raped unnaturally by other guys..may he die of sepsis or leprosy ..praying death for his worthless self..i curse him ,curse every man out there of painful deaths...may these men never rest in peace !
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
