I do research and writing for a crime docuseries, and the amount of times sex workers go missing and cops/news don't care until there's multiple bodies or a more well known disappearance occurs, is DISGUSTING.

The Poughkeepsie Killer was killing sex workers in broad daylight and was keeping their corpses in his hoarder house attic. The families of Wendy Meyers and Gina Barone went to the press and were told that the cases "weren't the kind the public cared about".

Police had the suspect but didn't pursue the case until 5 women went missing. Why do their lives matter less just because they do a different kind of physical labor for work? Each was someone's daughter.

As a mortician, I'm highly confused what the hand-embalming syringes are doing ... is this supposed to be a pro-embalming poster? Get embalmed and look pristine forever?

Back incollege, I was a waitress at an Italian restaurant. A lady came in ordered a dish with lots of tomato in it, then demanded I tell the chef she was allergic to MSG, in an accusatory way. What she didn't know is that I was going to school for a medical based degree, and recently had a professor go off about how MSG is in tons of foods naturally and not to believe the craze about it being bad for you.

"Oh my gosh! You're allergic to MSG!?! I'm sorry, but all tomatoes contain MSG. Please choose another dish" ... "I'm sorry, ma'am but mushrooms have MSG in them too. I'll talk to my chef and see what suggestions he might have."

She changed her tone "I'm not allergic, I just don't want it added... it's bad for you... blah blah"

I didn't get tipped, but it was hella satisfying to passive- aggressively educate her.

It's crazy that the cutest one was left out

I'm a girl who likes comics. Do it. If you can find a nerdy shop with snacks, even better. Ask her about her favorite characters and have her pick out one for you to read, if you don't know it. That would be an awesome green flag for me. Be careful not to get too serious/gate-keepy, though. An open mind is the best way to approach this.

Oh gosh that's beautiful. "I get paid to make clothes and then slowly remove them" is more accurate but not as fun

Hmm... I'm a cosplayer/erotica model. So a seamstress that gets naked for money? Not too outlandish, but they'd never understand what cosplay was.

This is hard if you have to see doctors. They like to call from different variations of their numbers.

Furries. They're some of the nicest people ever. I'm a cosplayer and our worlds intersect a lot. They raise more money for charity than any group as small as they are, they're kind and accepting, and they're wicked talented. I trust Furries before muggles anyday

Adopting wild dinosaurs/Animal hoarding... Paleo Pines. It's like the rated G version of ARK. I've got 45 super cute dinosaurs, but because this is a game, I'm rich enough to be able to give them wonderful lives!

I was a postmortem scientist for a decade, and have a show called After Death, which focuses on SFX makeup and embalming, based on gruesome ways people have died! It's on a page called Bad Day HQ which focuses on the worst days in history... crime, death, natural disasters, conspiracies, cryptuds, etc. Honestly best side gig ever. I love being teach people about really morbid stuff.

My work. This was shot at the Anatomy of Death Museum in Michigan... And the channel itself. They won Emmy awards back in the 90s/2000s

It has:

• Mine disasters, where companies shut off oxygen, sacrificing people, so they wouldn't lose profits
• Deadliest human stampedes, where people were so concerned with getting to events that they trampled, crushed, and suffocated hundreds of people
• Famines that wiped out large percentages of entire countries, that mirror what's happening right now
• History behind the Bermuda Triangle and the stories of planes and ships that have vanished there
• Stories of some of the darkest crimes in history... from serial killers to gruesome, morbid deaths
• Disasters and crimes that happened On This Day!

I'm really proud and have a plethora of knowledge, so please ask away. Actually ran the Wayne State Funeral History Museum for 3 years 🥰

If you missed more than 10 days of work at any job, it's likely you'll be fired, so they can just pull themselves up by the boot-straps and find another job.

As a kid, we were so poor, it was scary. I remember living in a car, having to choose between going hungry or eating food that was past its prime, and learning Santa wasn't real too young (I couldn't understand why my friends got expensive dream gifts... I thought I had been good)

After going through all that and my mom overdosing, I started collecting things that would accumulate value or were an investment. Comic books and figurines are my go to, but I've also got machines for creating cosplays (as that's my career now). I won't buy anything that I can't pawn off in an emergency to survive, or use it to make money. I really should have been collecting coins/gold/silver, but I picked what was fun.

Also, shoutout to my elementary school's lunch lady, who noticed a tiny, thin girl using the free lunch program, and offered her seconds, after everyone else had been served. I don't think she knows how much she touched my life.

I can have a bit of onion powder, but dried onions wreck my stomach

Yup! Those are just the tops of an onion plant

I minored in business law and we were taught this

Per copyright law in the United States, the designs must be 15% different to create one's own artistic copyright. They're several that are close, but 15% isn't that much. Obviously Nintendo isn't a US company, but it'll be interesting to set how this goes

It's hard. I still eat garlic on occasion, even though it makes me sick. Luckily, I've always had a bad reaction with an onion, so my body rejects the flavor too

It sucks having an allium intolerance... no one will take my garlic from me though, even if it makes me miserable later

I'm so glad that someone leaked that Roe v. Wade was getting overturned. I scheduled my sterilization and I'm so so happy. There is still a LONG waitlist to get sterilized.

No babies, no periods, no cramps, no mood swings, life is good. (Bilateral Salpingectomy and Endometrial Ablation are an awesome combo)
