I have earned this. Please. Please, after so much pain, let me have this. Let me have what joy I can

Life is too brief and too fragile, and it is unfair to spend so much of what little we have of it suffering. There is a sick irony in wasting moments being afraid of not having enough moments

Brain bad

I'm a couple weeks overdue and I just gotta get those shits zapped. I also am definitely noticing that the period between laser and the next "gotta get zapped" experience is lengthening. If I had made it to my scheduled appointment this time it would have _just_ been when hairs started showing

Why are you certain it can interfere with sleep?

If you can hear it it isn't infrasound

When someone makes specious and dishonest arguments it's important to call that out so that other people aren't tricked into taking his claims seriously. When someone repeatedly misrepresents research they should be rejected as a source of credible information.

He is thoroughly misrepresenting the research

It is theoretically a component of sound pollution but refers to sound that humans cannot hear and are almost certainly unaffected by

What alarming impacts on human health are you referring to?

I feel like you don't see as much of her at all anymore. Her weird Epstein statement recently was the first time I'd thought of her in months

I made it to "the fat prince stood undulating in insurmountable fear" at the end of Chapter 2 before cracking up. Pretty good performance as these things go. I don't think I would have made it that far in My Immortal.

Highly recommend this if you're tired of the rainbow passage

(At least it wasn't My Immortal, right?)

I used to just mix up sour cream, salsa, and shredded cheese and use that as a dip. Lazy stoner food or brilliant modern cuisine? Who is to say

Residential collection of rainwater is legal in all states, there are just laws in some states capping how much you can collect (at levels only feasible for industrial/agriculture usage). This is to keep property owners from drying up streams

Down lovecraftian

Devin is that for me. It almost took my breath away when I realized

Someone who is both an open transphobe and an open chaser seems like a rare bird. Usually they conceal one or the other

I always wanted to meet someone who observed me and thought as much about what makes me me as I do with the people in my life. To be seen and known, deeper than just the surface

Where'd she get it

Yeah, it's a mistake to try to impose modern politics on the late Republic, but if you're going to, it's hard to argue that Brutus et al were leftists

A woman forced to have children in order to produce soldiers for the leader of the country is being treated as one, for instance

In both cases you're applauding fascism with a specious "anti-imperial" justification, so they seem related to me

Once you say "you can just buy X, you can just do laundry" you have started erasing the main reason not to check a bag

I only really wear one pair of shoes most of the time but a pair of size 13 snow boots and a medium light winter coat takes so much room I could never fit them into a carryon. Plus my razor blades can't be carried on, etc

What size do you wear

Yeah, I almost never make it to baggage claim before my bag is there. I'd have to walk very quickly with no stops

Right, it's not like I'm going to enjoy my "free time" before the flight. Flying is an all day affair broken up into three periods: "trying not to panic", "actually traveling", "catatonic in the hotel room at the destination, recovering"

If I could be the first person on the plane and the last person off every time it would be my ideal situation. Walking past people who are sitting makes me sweat bullets

I just don't want to lug a huge carryon through the airport. I want to hand over my heavy stuff to a person and forget about it for most of the rest of the trip. I don't know why I'd want to avoid this
