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…

part of the impetus for creating ao3 was a series of content purges intended to hit bad evil content also hitting, for instance, support groups for survivors, and g rated content if it was also gay.

its code is open source so i genuinely think people with their own ideas about moderation should take advantage of that or anything else (wordpress?) to make an archive. if there are good stories on it, i’ll visit. There should be more archives in general.

There are some scripts that might help? https://openuserjs.org/scripts/sarken/Blurb_Blocker https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/3578-ao3-saved-filters But it would be nice if it was easier.

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.

I guess “hopeful” means something different to me? I’ve read stories that made me think it would be better if there was no tomorrow, if it was going to be like that. I suppose the “hope” there is in the personal determination to act in the present to prevent that future.

i recently also adopted a bonded pair and it’s such a good idea. the scaredy cat of the two settled in really fast since he’d be hiding and then see his niece walking around getting pet and purring (not being attacked by the terrible humans who stuck him in a box just the other day) and he’d poke his head out.

plus, you’re always getting to walk into a room a find them cuddling adorably. it’s great!

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.”

He might need some time to adjust to the change in routine? It’s tough to say. I had one cat about your cat’s age who was very social and routine oriented. After his wild adjustment period, he settled in, and he would sleep all night. I hope consistency is all you need, too, but my cat might’ve been a weirdo.

Another cat figured out nighttime was when humans sleep only after closing her into the other half of the house when she wouldn’t let us rest.

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

That was the only method that really worked for my first cat - an enormous stray. So now I do it by default. It seems mean, but it doesn’t hurt them and any method that takes less time I think is less traumatizing. I hope?
