It's a Texas state law, so *technically* nothing to do with Trump. I'm sure he'd love it, but it's just run of the mill Texas oppression, not the orange kind.

It is/was inevitable. You can't have a safe city in an unsafe state. It can buffer you a little, but it can never fully protect you.

Unfortunately, I don't think people realize that "no criminal record" is nearly impossible. If you can't legally get a license then you can't drive to work, to a job you also can't legally have. There needs to be nuance between forced criminality of undocumented existence and willful violent crime

I have hope and also fear. Companies like @textio.com are trying to use AI for good, and it's an interesting concept to find justice in pitting AI against itself XD That was a really interesting article, thank you.

Does covert government effort = regular marketing? Because even if she was, that would just be like... campaigning and marketing. There's nothing all that scandalous about either of those concepts

Do you mind sharing how you found them? My partner is in this situation and is terrified to step through the door for the first time. I'm less so, but I haven't been in a LONG time because of trauma.

When in doubt, get a drs note that lists your meds and their dosages and states that it's necessary to your health to have these meds with you. That will work in most situations (but make sure if you're going to a non english speaking country, you get that document translated)

Of course you should, that's imperative.

Do you need more? My pronouns have been generous 😅

But I think they should be fiercely local. Holiday expenses have just wiped out everyone's accounts, you've just dealt with family, so this one should be for meeting the neighbors.

I love your mask! Where did you get it?

We got ours yesterday too, really minor side effects, vaguely sore arm and that's about it.

Absolutely true. And then finding exceptions, and later learning it was because they had a crush on you, AKA you still didn't exist apart from them finding you attractive.

I gained a fair bit of weight freshman year and, paradoxically, watched myself socially disappear.

Anecdotally, I'd guess that more abusive marriages are dissolved no-fault than ever are for abuse grounds. This is SO awful to advocate for. Leaving is dangerous enough, conditioning leaving on leveling accusations that will most likely cause escalation is irresponsible.

My birthday was this week and my friends, family and partner got me puzzle things that I'm now happily working away at. It's a silly thing, but it's really nice to be unplugged for a bit at a time

I have no idea why, but I read that "screaming more names that I love" and was like, huh, that DOES sound cathartic 😂

Powerful meditation, thank you for sharing.

The Mean Girls (used somewhat gender neutrally in this case) grow older but they don't always grow up 😭 I'm sorry, Rowan. Your joy is beautiful and worthy of sharing and celebrating.

Alas, only rich white men get their way by trantruming. Sometimes it even gets them on the supreme court 🤷

They were banned because they gave women unrealistic expectations of men having emotional depth and consideration toward their partner. It was even framed that way - porn shows beautiful women wives can't live up to, romance novels show caring men husbands can't live up to.
