My partner of two years decided to end things right before the holidays because he felt he needed to "explore the world as an unattached individual" and discover who he was without a safety net.
The twist? We had planned a trip months prior, and I had used 150,000 of my personal, hard-earned airline miles to book his first-class ticket.
A week after the breakup, he texts me: "Hey, just checking into my flight app and I don't see my boarding pass. Did the airline glitch?"
I had called the airline the day after the breakup, canceled his ticket, and deposited the miles back into my account.
I texted him back: "No glitch! I just realized that flying first class on my airline miles is the ultimate safety net. If you're going to truly explore the world as an unattached individual, you've got to start from the ground up. Literally. Hope standby treats you well!"

Cult leader Jim Jones used to fake assassination attempts so that his cult would worship him harder. Just thought I’d share that history with everyone

진짜 화나는 건, 이 “오리입 질경” 디자인이 거의 180년 전 만들어진 거라는 점임.
그리고 더 빡치는 건 그 탄생 배경.
1845년 미국 의사 제임스 매리언 심스가 흑인 여성 노예들을 마취도 없이 반복적으로 생체실험하면서 만든 도구가 지금까지 표준처럼 쓰이고 있다는 거.
당시엔 이미 마취제가 존재했는데도
“흑인은 고통을 덜 느낀다”는 인종차별 논리로 여성들 몸을 실험대처럼 사용했고,
그 과정에서 나온 게 지금의 금속 질경 디자인임.
근데 문제는 2020년대가 된 지금도 본질이 별로 안 바뀌었다는 거.
환자가 얼마나 차갑고 아픈지,
얼마나 수치스럽고 긴장되는지는 뒷전이고,
“의사가 보기 편하다”
“병원이 비용 적게 든다”
이 이유로 그대로 유지돼온 거잖아.
실제로 여성 디자이너들이 통증 줄인 실리콘 질경, 꽃잎처럼 부드럽게 펼쳐지는 디자인 같은 대안을 계속 내놓고 있는데도,
의료계는 “기존 것도 되는데 굳이?” 하면서 변화 속도 엄청 느림.
결국 여성들이 수십 년 동안 말해온
“아프다”
“무섭다”
“검사 자체가 트라우마다”
이 목소리가 의료 시스템 안에서는 너무 쉽게 사소한 불편 정도로 취급돼왔다는 게 제일 답답함.

Acho que deveríamos começar a enfiar isso em todos os médicos homens uma vez por ano, até que mudem o design.

If you poured a gallon of poison in a CEO's pool, you'd be arrested, for attempted murder.
They pour 10,000 gallons into your drinking water, that's just business.

There's sh*t in the rivers and sh*t in the seas,
they sh*t on the poor, it's a corporate disease,
I'm sick of the sh*t and the waffle they spout,
for the good of the country, let's get these sh*ts out.
RE-NATIONALISE THE WATER COMPANIES.
Feargal Sharkey@Feargal_Sharkey
You'll want to be sitting down for this bit. Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends. And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

I can understand a minister or shadow minister suffering from burnout and consequently returning to the back benches.
But a backbench MP? With no formal responsibility other than voting? What is it that time is being taken out from?
What is it that there is a ‘leave of absence’ from? MPs aren’t employees.
Is this just a letter to say no surgeries for a few weeks?

Ustedes me secuestraron en altamar. En la cárcel me separaron del grupo, me metieron a un contenedor, me esposaron, botaron al piso y me golpearon por más de tres horas hasta causarme una conmoción cerebral.
Esos son sus valores, estas fotos sólo son propaganda

This is so insane. A evil genocidal country went and illegally kidnapped peaceful protesters on international waters and now they are parading them around like cattle and NOT A SINGLE major news network is covering it.

How did people get scammed into doing shared ownership.
What do you mean I pay a deposit, I pay a mortgage, I pay RENT on top of that AND I only own less than 50%?!?!

@Wommando @PeteWri71368222 Up to 4 years for carrying a knife.
But if you use that knife to threaten girls while you rape them you can walk freely out of court.
English
"Look back in courage" the judge tells the girls - including one who had told the court she wanted to die.
No. When these girls look back, they’ll remember the pain. The violence. The terror. The humiliation. The sound of their rapists laughing while their lives were destroyed.
And playing behind it all like a sickening backing track: a judge delivering sympathy and praise to their vile attackers - before watching them walk free out of court.
If there was one thing that could have offered the smallest fraction of "comfort" to these girls - it was justice. And there was none here.

Fun fact: It is typically illegal to sell a puppy younger than 8 weeks old because it’s considered cruel to separate it from its mother, but unfortunately corporate America expects women to return to work 4 weeks after giving birth.

Folks a little correction here👇hard working Taxpayers are actually PAYING for these FREE breakfasts; I don’t have Children SO? I’m paying to feed Other people’s Children; IF? In Poverty? Of course I’ve no issues BUT? Not for parents who can afford such & they should pay & NOT Me👇🤷♂️

Across the country, free breakfast clubs are saving parents £450 and boosting children’s life chances. Will Reform councils back Nigel Farage in his attempt to close these clubs, pinch money from parents and take food out of local children’s mouths? sunderlandecho.com/news/people/su…

If she killed them though, the judge would have no understanding or grace for her and would imprison her. So my question to a patriarchal society is .. what do you want women to do?

I think that 35 hours work a week should not only pay the rent and put food on the table, but leave you enough over for the odd night out and an annual holiday. And if that belief makes me an economically illiterate leftwing extremist, so be it.
