"internal family systems" therapy is no joke, and if you pick up a book on it and go through some exercises without a trained therapist to guide you, it can seriously fuck you up. don't ask any of my parts how they know. they are all busy screaming.

It is not a stretch at this point to say that, if you are using a Ring doorbell, you are an ICE collaborator.

This is just a snapshot, here’s the interactive version: www.thevoid.community

They 'hallucinate' 100% of the time. Sometimes those hallucinations happen to be correct.

Why are we so bad at vetting people before they launch a campaign? Like, "does have nazi tattoos?" "did some racism on reddit?" seem like easy things to check.
