Yeah, but one strategy against christian attempts to force themselves into schools is to have a number of different religious organizations request the same right.

Does anyone have a link to a source on the age of the kid? I'm wondering if I'm missing it. People keep saying she's 17. Was that in one of his edits?

I remember when a relative still had a feeding tube they were leaving in just in case and he accidently yanked it out. I believe we put paper towels and blue tape over it and he called the doctor. the doctor was like 'oh it's self sealing it's fine' and my relative was all 'doc....please look at it...' so we took him in and he got a proper bandage and told it did in fact look fine.

This poor florida man....

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/black-like-me-50-years-later-74543463/ Here's an interesting article on that.

By the late 1960s, however, the civil rights movement and rioting in Northern cities highlighted the national scale of racial injustice and overshadowed Griffin’s experiment in the South. Black Like Me, said activist Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), “is an excellent book—for whites.” Griffin agreed; he eventually curtailed his lecturing on the book, finding it “absurd for a white man to presume to speak for black people when they have superlative voices of their own.”

This lawsuit is like an ad for her show, and she doesn't even need one.

The one I still feel guilt over was a time when i found out someone had left an animal trap loaded when they left for vacation. There was a live raccoon in it. I know I shouldn't've carelessly opened it, but I should've done something. Even killing it would've been kinder. I carry that one with me, to remind me to act when I can. I'm still bad at it, but I try.

The other day I told a customer I could smell gas in her apartment, and even though I feel like a dumbass because it wasn't a leak (probably lingering smell from them moving an appliance and hitting it on and off by accident), I don't regret mentioning it. Sometimes I just am going to be an obnoxious jackass about that stuff.

Thank you for making the joke first so I can pretend I didn't come to this post to make it. I'm just here for important political conversations, yup.

If more trans kids live until adulthood and/or can safely come out, there might be enough just around that they're seen as natural human variation, and then how will conservatives use them as a scapegoat during hard times?? Think of "think of the children" republicans, and their needs! They have to throw atypical kids into a pyre as an example, or people might just live their lives how they want without fear. What will they do then?

I was in college around the same time and recall doing my usual minimum research for a new system and still to this day think "acer's crap, right?" when someone mentions it, even though the memory of why is gone.

That one person was probably just trolling, but nowadays teens are much less likely to be sexually active than in previous decades.

I agree that part of a way to deal with it socially is to not, like, ruin peoples lives when there are nude or pornographic images of them out there. When you lose your job because your ex posted a sex tape with you online and attached your name, and now you're struggling to keep your house - that's a devastating consequence, regardless of how someone personally feels about porn of them being online.

I think we should all be like "it could even just be AI" to our more conservative acquaintances when they're worked up because someone posted gay porn of a local teacher in their group chat.
