I hate sports and I usually don’t care who wins or loses, but as an autistic person, France winning the World Cup genuinely bothers me.
France is one of the most nationalist countries in the world. They even refuse to learn other languages because they think they’re so great. And now they have yet another excuse to jerk off and celebrate their blind nationalism.
Meanwhile, French autistic children are being forcefully removed from their parents and shoved into freezers. Some of them has died in these freezers. The ones who survived has been forced to live in shitty psych wards for the rest of their lives. French autistic children are not allowed in public school and the vast majority of autistic adults are unemployed because of job discrimination.
This shit is happening because France is too blinded by nationalism to question their own government. And now France is being celebrated more than ever before. Their nationalism is growing even stronger.
This… worries me.
wait what the FUCK
I never knew about the freezer thing, God, this is fucking horrible. What the actual fuck
It’s a disgusting pseudoscience they call “packing”. They wrap small autistic children in wet blankets and put them in freezers for a while. They think autism is caused by unloving mothers and that this process somehow reduces the autism. At least three children has died and thousands has developed serious heart problems. There are probably a lot more deaths that the government simply covered up, as they have shut down and threatened to sue anyone who made documentaries about it.
“City Of Love”
Okay I did some research because there wasn’t a link
Making fun of girls who dream of being a wife and stay-at-home-mom actually doesn’t make you progressive or feminist or cool, it just makes you a person who shits on someone else’s dream, a.k.a an asshole
Whenever someone says that I say “Okay, whatever floats your boat, I guess” and then I think “Why would she want that? Isn’t it boring to just sit around all day and do nothing?”
Moms don’t “sit around all day and do nothing” – they have a incredibly important 24/7 job: raising little human beings. Don’t devalue that by calling it “nothing”.
Man, my mom cooked, cleaned, paid the bills, went grocery shopping, did my hair every morning before school and every night (which, as a white woman with no prior experience of doing black hair, especially on a tender-headed child, is no easy feat). She helped with my homework, consoled me after a bad day, frequently volunteered at the school. She even picked my anxious, crying ass up from kindergarten early nearly every day for the first semester and would lie down with me every night when I was a child until I fell asleep (and that usually took several hours). That’s not even scratching the surface of all the things she’s done for me and my siblings. She was always the first person up and the last person to go to bed. Nothing about what she did, and continues to do to a lesser degree, is easy.
Domestic work is constantly undervalued even though every family depends on it. My grandmother on my mom’s side would go hungry just so her kids could eat – that is not nothing.
Also, if you would commend a man for being a stay at home dad and doing exactly what women have been doing for centuries, don’t pretend you care about women’s labor.
I don’t see how it’s so incomprehensible to some people that lots of adults do not want to see porn.
It absolutely isn’t a problem that you don’t want to see it.the problem arises however when in your desire to not see it, that you prevent people who do want to see it from enjoying it.
No one should be enjoying an industry that exploits women and children and changes the brains of the people who view it and damages everyone involved. It’s evil and it should be put out of business for everyone’s good.
Also, tumblr allows minors. There shouldn’t be any porn on a site shared with minors.
If people don’t like that, tough. They can go somewhere else.
Been seeing a lot of stupid stuff lately about cow hobbles.
Hobbles in the dairy industry are meant to keep weak cows from falling and doing the splits after a difficult calving or on slippery surfaces. They aren’t a “punishment” (lmfao). They’re a therapeutic tool used until we know the animal isn’t going to fall and further injure themselves. That’s it.
We use hobbles in chickens and other fowl in order to fix spay legs too!
People don’t blink at it because it’s typically done on cute little chicks with obviously DIY hobbles. Often times it’s made with medical tape and cardboard so it looks medical unlike with cattle hobbles. Hobbles are such an important part of animal welfare to prevent broken and deformed body parts which prevents an animal from being put down.
So important! Cows are not flexible creatures, if they fall (which they do sometimes) they can be hurt badly sometimes to the point that they’re permanently lame. Cow hobbles help them stay upright when cows’ hips are weak. They don’t impede mobility, they aid it.
“Okay but why do we even have weak cows in the first place, what are you doing to them” – a strawman “misinformed animal rights”-type person I made up just to ask the question for me, because now I’m curious and would like to have an answer ready in case someone asks me that in the off-chance this subject ever comes up 😮
Often when we use hobbles it’s usually because the cow hurt herself somehow – they can slip and fall if they’re not careful or if they get too excited. Sometimes injuries just happen. Also, sometimes after calving cows, especially older ones, can be weak and appreciate the extra support.
Cows are often hypocalcaemic and hypomagnesaemic after calving, which makes it hard for them to stand. Because of this they can slip around, or “go down” (get stuck lying down) for long periods. This causes further damage that exacerbates the problem, such as muscle death and nerve damage. It’s often this nerve damage that necessitates use of hobbles, because the nerve that makes their legs stay under their body (the obturator nerve FYI) doesn’t work. We tie the legs together under their body because they literally cannot hold them there themselves.
Why is it so important that the cow isn’t lying down? Cows aren’t well built for lounging around. It hurts their muscles and nerves (think cramp or pins and needles from sitting in one place too long but waayyyy worse). If they’re on their sides, they also can’t burp, so their stomach fills up with gas and compresses their lungs, which kills them very quickly.
So yeah, hobbles are definitely not a punishment, they can be life saving!
Oh so you think Steve Rogers, who grew up during the Great Depression & Also fought in WW2, doesn’t have a fatalistic sense of humour that rivals that of the most hardened Gen Z teen? Hah okay then
Peter Parker, after failing his Spanish assessment: Lol when will death befall me
The rest of the Avengers: Ohmygod Peter honey it’s okay it’ll get better I promise please don’t say things like that you’re gonna be okay-
Steve, high-fiving him: We can only pray the reaper will arrive early for his appointment with us kid
The first conversation they ever have is when they both have breakfast at the Avengers Tower. Steve burns his toast & he just looks at the wall and declares, completely deadpan, “There is literally No Point to existence At All’ and then on the other side of the room he hears the instant response of “oh mood” which is basically the story of how Peter Parker & Steve Rogers bonded for life.
I feel like I read somewhere that it’s kind of a way to see if you’ll incriminate yourself
That’s exactly what it is. If they’re asking you that question they want you to admit to whatever it was (speeding, etc) so they don’t need evidence and you can’t fight the ticket.
Play dumb, but be polite.
“I’m not sure, could you please tell me what you saw?” Or something like that.
Remember, just like in an accident, don’t admit fault. You can decide later if you want to fight the ticket, but if you admit fault then and there, you lose that option.
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as
the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, you have been given
very many graces in this age of new technology. All of these things are
given by way of making life in the world more palatable. Do not be so
foolish as to think these innovations come from human ingenuity. Your
discoveries and inventions are all part of My generous grace.”
“These days, new technology is being used in some evil ways. Unborn
children, snatched from the womb, are being incorporated into medicines
and food. Pornography has taken on new dimensions and comes alive in
heretofore Christian homes – invading young minds. The sanctity of many
vocations is being challenged through this innovative technology.”
“What I have given is meant as a means of saving souls. I give you
new means of making the world ‘smaller’ by use of this technology. Much
of what I have given you has been distorted, as My approval of
obscenities and ‘illicit’ gain.”
“Do realize you live in a world of compromised Truth. Always search
out the Truth of each goal and every way you are using the grace I give
you. Do not make money your goal. Make pleasing Me and saving souls
your goal.”
Read 2 Timothy 3:1-6+
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of
stress. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud,
arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good,
treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power
of it. Avoid such people. For among them are those who make their way
into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by
various impulses,

The real irony is there is plenty of fanfiction that goes through more rigorous editing than some published fiction. So the difference in quality between fanfiction and “professional writing” is totally arbitrary and made up. Except that some things that are more expensive are worse.
Fanfic has really raised my standards for what constitutes good writing.
