Incredible!

I lost the ability to comment on insta bc I commented in my representatives page. He is not only an elected representative, he is pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atl. This is the pulpit MLK led hia movement from. So yes, I am extra mad that he has not even made a statement. I have already done the emails, they don’t care. So I figured a public comment on his insta post would stir something up, it did. Meta told me I’d be stfu for a while.

So once I was able to comment again I stated that meta can fuck right off and I’ll be signing up for telegram. At least journalists can post freely there.

I feel this, but more along the line of chosen ignorance rather than actual stupidity. Either a new topic us overwhelming or they worry\fear they’ll get it “wrong”. Also, being from the south, where so much has been politicized, they fear the tribal back lash of thinking for themselves. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I was never the type to “go with it”.

The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don’t get ear covering sound without a jack.

I was shocked when he got a gov’t contract after he admitted to all that fuckery in Ukraine. Wtf is happening in gov’t???

This is what I came here for

This made me laugh really hard and not know why. Congrat

I was taken to task aa a hostess in 1989 for saying ," enjoy your lunch" rather than “gentlemen enjoy your lunch”

Organic ,non bot, actual real conversation, is not going to skyrocket. It’s going to grow like a real world thing. This is good imo

So this us when we write to our reps? Make social media post?

From what I can see as of a couple hours ago, they’ve been bombing the south and refugee camps. So far they use this messaging as a way to corral and murder.

I love you lemmy, this is why I’m here tkutkutku

It sucks that those are our choices doesn’t it? Live with a little loneliness but a lot of peace and joy , or not lonely but also harassed and always second, third ,or not even there.

Like you, I’ve left the entire idea behind. I dated quite a bit once I was single and was always disappointed. The pool is just not there, at least where I live.

I am way more happy though, and just made peace with things. None of us gets everything in life, I’ve had lots of fun and love my work. I think that is success at this point.

Cheers, glad any of this helped!

I went to join Planet Fitness, they insist on an app. They watched me leave. Kroger charged more than advertised, ooooh it was a digital coupon only available through the app. I left the item with the cashier. Order out? Only on an app? I guess I didn’t want to eat that so much anyway.

Edit to add: I don’t know how we are going to deal with apps that are forced upon you, that feels really gross especially if you are younger, like at your school. Forced commodification should be illegal.

Not going to do it, it feels controlling and abusive and I’ve worked too damn hard to let that shit go on.

Hey hey now, not so fast! She needs to add Gen X here too.

Wow, I’d never heard of this . Just now playing the video. This is indeed a terrifying decision to protect a very corrupt man, and a system that allowed him to do these things.

This is such a hard thing to see and then to accept as real and truthful. It hurts horribly, so so painful. When I think of what she gave in order to be there for him, it hurts even more. When I finally faced this about my ex ,I cried so hard I couldn’t breath. I couldn’t share the same room with him, it felt like a betrayal to me.
However, to him? It was just the water we all swim in. Heartbreaking for both parties I think. That he shouldn’t experience love in any depth is also tragic.

Wow, mine did the same thing. Eventually he treated my work as an enemy to compete with, which was detrimental because my work is a part of me, it’s not a place I go to, it’s my craft. Much like being a writer. I was the one who would “not work” if the kids were sick etc, he thought very little of my contributions (which were good) to our bills etc. Like I should just presto magic money into being after not being able to work, he’d act as if I was just not working hard enough.

Even at tax return time, he literally was shocked when I told him we should be sharing the refund and he refused.

Eventually, he lost this war , and I’m happily growing in my field. I really wanted to be married, I didn’t want to end our marriage but I couldn’t face myself with this treatment and he couldn’t understand what I was saying.

I can personally attest to this, from my experience, as well as stories friends have told me. It is much worse with older male doctors, also as women age this type of treatment occurs more often. Also, black women get the worst of it, as many recent studies show. Mortality rates during pregnancy are terrifying.
