I think there's a whole buncha people who never were taught what happens when dictators take power.

These are all from the 20th C.

Bayard Rustin could be the most influential civil rights activist you’ve never heard of. Did his sexuality and religion keep him out of the history books?

It's interesting, intellectually I *know* that life has just been one-hit-after-another but I'm Gen Jones and I was taught to just keep going, & hope

yesterday my therapist had me really slow down & acknowledge how much has/is happening *and* that I am handling it well

I am so uncomfortable now!

Someone came up to me recently and said “aren’t you Jim Lynch?” And I said “why, does he owe you money?”

Turns out it was someone I went to grade school with.

Rewatching Cool Runnings the other day and I want to bring back the cliche “well that all depends, who’s asking” when companies call you and demand to know who they’re speaking to before they even say who they are representing XD

James Marion Sims, known as “the father of modern gynecology," achieved his breakthroughs by experimenting on Black girls and women, without anesthesia or meaningful consent.

It’s an origin story the US medical establishment has spent almost 180 years trying to reconcile, whitewash, or ignore.

The photos themselves are harrowing enough. They don't need the label of 'ritual' to make them any worse. When a child is abducted by a pedo and tortured like this they're never allowed to live to tell the tale. A gang of pedos, a private estate/island. Ask yourself what was the likely outcome here?

Ritualistic claims usually come in because they want to blame other religions, in particular Satanism.
