Any day we’re all breathing is a good day

Be well, friend

Given it also has a mouth-to-anus tube, is there a name for a double torus? Genus-2 torus I guess

Lashes? You want them to look fabulous?

She didn’t seek out this publicity. She and Bill did ask that their testimony be in open court rather than behind closed doors, (don’t we all want to hear Bill testify how well Trump sucked his dick?) and she’s calling for Congress to do what everyone here wants them to do; hold Trump to account for his crimes against children and women.

All songs with sirens should start with an advisory, like in the lyrics by the lead singer, with the opening chords, so it plays every time.

“Yo, motherfuckers, we got sirens comin’ up in this bitch, so crack a window in case the popo sneak up on your ass during the chorus.”

(Hello fellow kids do we still say popo?)

Would you arrange your bromo bricks to form circles, or waves, or just go wackadoodle?

Do IQs go into negative numbers?

Completely open borders? That’s almost like…imagine there’s no countries… 🎶

Live your dreams! Nobody knows what’s under there, just go nuts with the whole box like a kindergartner who’s just figured out how to peel the tabs by themselves. Just, if you get the urge to band-aid your nips, try to be sure your areolas are under the not-sticky part.

Arizona is not on the West Coast

Mobsters indeed. I wonder, if the Mexican army swooped in and killed the head of the MAGA cartel, would we see the kind of violence in our streets as Mexico is having now? I mean, they’re certainly well-armed enough but they are also lazy Americans. They’d be like, “can I go down to Home Depot and hire some Mexicans to do it for me?”

(Which tbf is pretty much what I’m doing now with this speculation)

My weather is the same but I live on the first floor on a very busy Los Angeles street, so opening the windows lets in too much unfiltered grit and smog. I do step out onto the balcony daily to care for my plants and feed the birds, so some air gets in then.

Meryl Streep movie, she could save only one child from the Nazis (or they’d have killed both, the cruelty was the point) and the guilt and trauma stays with her throughout her life.

I was implying that if your mom had to give up one twin for adoption it might still be a painful thing she doesn’t want to talk about.

My solution? Oh I’m not saying the women should have stayed in Instagram! It’s one reason I never joined in the first place. If anything I was wondering if women created a No Boys Allowed WomenSpace totally separate. And still I think it would be brigaded.

I think we agree on the basic evil of societal misogyny. Although as an old woman who has lived through changes, I have seen that having more women in a workplace or field, especially as we start to fill the upper echelons, can help fade certain parts of the misogyny or at least drive it underground.

Your mom said the doctor told her the ultrasound showed “two babies” but I had an ultrasound at 5 weeks and they looked at the tiny embryonic speck and said, “there’s the baby!” In fact no babies are shown in ultrasounds, only fetuses. But my point was, they may have seen one 7-month fetus and one little shriveled thing and said “there’s two babies.”

I guess it’s also possible she brought two babies to term, made a “Sophie’s Choice” to give one up for adoption, and didn’t want you to be heartbroken or afraid of being given away too. And since other people had heard about her being pregnant with twins, she gave you a story you could accept as a child.

And another possibility is that the doctor gave her anesthesia or rohypnol or something and took the twin to put up for adoption, telling her it was absorbed. She’d know she had given birth but not remember it was twice. It’s terrible but not unheard of.

You could ask her, if you feel you’re both adult enough now to handle the emotional implications of all the possible explanations. Remember that you can still trust her love no matter what, but she might not know the whole truth and/or might be ashamed to admit it.

I hope you’ve started scanning the dark periphery like we do. Not because you deserved anything that happened to you! And I’m not assuming you weren’t already. But because I can’t do anything to protect you from over here on the Internet and I don’t want that to happen to you anymore. It’s when we’re near home that we tend to let our guard down.

You are 3x correct, dingdingding! Go have a treat.

I am certainly not going to save Instagram, since I never joined. But if you mean it can’t be saved, that might be true as well.

If every female person left Instagram today, what would happen to the misogyny? Would it be starved of fuel or would it escalate and spiral until it explodes in (increased) physical attacks?

And if the women and girls created their own female-positive space, how long before it was brigaded? Judging by everyTwoX post that ever hit R/All, I’m putting the over/under at 6 hours.
