Hello! So I’m 99% sure the veterinary hospital (the one off river road) is open today but whenever I call it says “I’m sorry we don’t recognize your entry” and hangs up? Has anyone had this happen before?
To start, obviously what she did was wrong. Leaving a full term alive baby where it was? Completely wrong.
BUT. We don’t know her situation. We don’t know what happened. Nobody of sound mind body and soul is giving birth in a toilet. None. If you are sane, that’s not happening. She had to have been unwell. Maybe it was a cryptic pregnancy. Maybe she was being trafficked. Maybe she was raped. Maybe she has an intellectual disability.
The way people are demonizing this mother who made a mistake is horrifying.
I’ve done sex work for survival. It’s horrible. It’s awful. You are seen as sub human and just something for them to pay and fuck.
SW isn’t cute or quirky or fun. If you enjoy it, good for you! But don’t tell women to go to sex work because “it’s freeing” or whatever bullshit you’re spreading. And unless you’ve done SW for survival, you don’t know how much it hurts.
So there’s a laundry list of diagnosed issues. But I don’t know where to start. Do I start with therapy for my PTSD? Do I start with BPD? Do I start with my OCD? Do I start with CBT-I for my insomnia? I’ve also had suggestions for EDMR, for regular CBT (not just insomnia focused). I just feel so overwhelmed with where to even start.
So I try to log in and it gives me the option to send a notification to my iPhone 15 (I just cleared that and turned it in for the 16) or an authentication app (which you have to have access to your account to set that up.)
I went through the account recovery stupid selfie thing a few days ago, it eventually let me back into my account but only on a browser. Which quickly crashed and I no longer had access to my account at all. But I can’t change my password. I can’t access my account at all. I’ve had this account for 13 years.
I’m a weirdo and I love doing the arm gesture to get truckers to honk. It always makes me laugh like crazy and makes my day. How do truckers feel about regular drivers asking them to honk?
Misandry isn’t nearly the same as misogyny. Men hate women because of stupid sickening reasons. Women hate men because they have been our number one predator for all of history. Women are scared of men because they have proven we should be.

Late last year my grandfather died. It was incredibly sudden, and I wasn’t able to attend the funeral. I went in to get some candles, some crystals, and some incense to make a little altar for my grandfather.
The woman there was so incredibly unkind. She was snapping at me, rolling her eyes, any time I asked a question she looked like I had just asked her to help me move my couch. Incredibly inconvenienced and looking like “wow you’re actually going to ask me a question”
(Not a meme but I needed a flair)
Lesbians deserve more respect in the LGBTQ+ community.
Lesbians are the reason we STILL HAVE a community. We are the first letter because we were the only ones helping gay men during the AIDS pandemic. Without lesbians, we wouldn’t even have a fucking community.
When doctors and nurses refused to care for AIDS patients, refuse to even be in the same room with them, we stepped up. We helped them.

I have horrible, constant nightmares. They range from zombie apocalypse, to my parents sending me to a facility (wouldn’t be the first time) to awful things happening to me and my family.
The worst by far are the nightmares involving my wife (both 26 f)
We had one major fight in our entire relationship. But it almost ended us. We worked it out, but I still have nightmares years later. And it’s not even just the fight that caused this. I had these nightmares before too. I was raised to think I would never be good enough for anyone to love. That I’m too much, too dramatic (constantly triggered BPD in an abusive environment isn’t drama but ok) that I’m too loud, that I’m just…too much.
But my wife loves it! She loves that my laugh can shatter windows. She loves that I care too much about animals, and about our friends. She loves me. And it’s so hard wrapping my head around the fact that someone loves me like that. For all of me. For my entire self.
So I’ve had people here tell me “I don’t see doctors or use the system, I just use telehealth or PP” but genuinely utterly how is this NOT using the system? Like I’m not trying to be rude. I’m not being snide. I genuinely do not understand how using telehealth or PP to see a doctor isn’t using the system. PP and telehealth are still the system. You are still seeing a doctor for help.
Our medical system is deeply flawed. But for many of us in America, we don’t HAVE another option. We need reform in the medical community for women and trans people and POC and so many more. So here’s some tips to MAKE the shitty system work for you. (These work. I’ve done it. I’ve had friends do it. I’ve had social workers tell me about this shit)
If your doctor refuses a test, DEMAND they notate it in your file. They are required to then they’d get a review as to why. They always change their tune (I had what my doctor called a rash and refused to test it. Told her to notate that, she tested it immediately, it was fucking staph)
Ask for a chaperone! It’s always great to bring someone you but that’s not always an option. Your doctors office is required to provide you with a medical chaperone so you aren’t alone with the doctor.
If your doctor tries to make claims your cervix doesn’t have nerve endings, tell them to notate the refusal of pain meds, ask to escalate, and a lot of the time citing your sources helps. Have articles and passages already pulled up.
The system is failing us. But we can manipulate it back.
Peach cannabis has officially been bought out by Nectar. Oh, and it had been on the market for MONTHS before they bothered to tell the employees they were selling the business.
I’m dog sitting a sweet old lady dog about 10 days in June. And when I met her mom she let me know “oh BTW Pearl has a ton of liver tumors and masses that can burst at anytime and stress makes it worse. There’s nothing to be done so if she dies she dies while you’re watching her! No big deal”
MA’AM. THAT IS A BIG DEAL
Like cmon. I understand this is a feminist group. But that was just fucking gore and sickening.
Do you or anyone you know need a wheelchair? It’s an adult wheelchair with a 300 pound weight limit. We just got my wife an electric chair and I want to find someone who needs a chair but can’t afford one. Completely free!
