Actually, only people with ADHD truly understand what it's like to be AGGRESSIVELY uninterested in something like so uninterested you're angry

She's right. I thought I was destined for a life of sexual harassment because no one told me it was really about youth. As soon as I no longer looked underage, the harassment sharply decreased. It's one of the most depressing improvements in my life.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I’m going to guess the women are at the pool with no makeup and their hair is up or something

This is literally what half of Soviet 'history' writing is like: describing something objectively good but in an ominous and condescending tone

And what if I said this is a result of how significantly English-speaking cultures have undervalued smell?

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page. It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection. Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do. Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades. The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water. It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left. The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero. When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Me and my urge to learn embroidery, crocheting, painting, glass art, candle making, pottery, soap making, coding, gardening, calligraphy, jewelry making, drawing, baking, sewing, archery, ceramics, flower arranging, photography, perfumery, brewery and card making, all at once😭

Did you know the TV show “To Catch a Predator” was cancelled because they kept catching law enforcement, teachers, preachers, local officials, and other people meant to protect Children? The final straw? An Assistant District Attorney in TEXAS was courting who he thought was a 13yo boy. He didn’t show for the sting, so they sent law enforcement and camera crew to his home. The police entered, and Louis Conradt shot himself, taking his own life. Can’t make this shit up.

“women are people with periods.” not really many women dont menstruate. “well, women are people with uterus!” you can literally remove your uterus. “women are people born with uterus!” you can be born without one. “women are ppl with two X chromosomes” you can be AFAB and have a Y chromosome. “well women are people who are female at conception.” everyone is female at conception. there is no way to define womanhood that excludes trans women but includes all cis women.

People wonder why millennials can see through online nonsense so easily, and I’ll tell you how: we didn’t grow up with the internet, but once it showed up, every school paper demanded ten reliable sources. No random sites, no ChatGPT, just libraries and actual books.

I never see you at the club babe

in my experience as a weird girl no one really likes when you’re actually weird

This is it. This. Right here...
