I’m still waiting for that magical day, too.

Didn’t make it through the wall of text. Shame, it looked interesting.

Is that it that “activists want to insert themselves and their cause into every possible area of society“ or is it maybe that trans people are actual living breathing humans who are a part of every possible area of society, and they have the right to exist and live their lives in peace, same as you?

The only people in the story that are “forcing” anyone are the bigots who are actively attempting to ban trans people from competing, but they’re doing it poorly. Not surprising, since most bigots lack critical thinking skills.

Can’t read, paywall

Pronounce it with a “sh” in front - sheeet

Owner Stuart Rome told the New York Post Ms Russell was no longer employed at the Woodhouse spa in Birmingham, and that staff were “pissed” about her abduction claims.

The 25-year-old told police she was kidnapped while stopping to help a toddler on Interstate 459 on 13 July. However, police say they have doubts about her account after finding suspicious internet searches on her phone.

Mr Rome said staff had been devastated by Ms Russell’s disappearance, and had passed out flyers in an effort to help find her.

“As the information came out that there were some questionable things, we’ve been a little pissed off, mainly because so many people took so much time out to search”

Thank you for this!

Bonus lion!

Well, bison are a lot bigger than cows, and they’re not domesticated . Also, people are idiots. I don’t know if these women were being idiots, I couldn’t read the article because paywall, but I’m not holding my breath on the matter.

Finally, a prize I can use!!

I’m just glad I didn’t win a lemon party.

Um, th-thanks, I guess..?

The love letter would be interesting to see, as would the nft cards, but maybe I can auction the rest. Lol

Looks to me like a Manitoba maple. Those fuckers are relentless, will grow absolutely anywhere, and are impossible to kill.

1, 2, 4, 8, and 9.

3, 6, and 7 require too much physical ability to be true. 5 and 10 are both plausible, but I doubt they’d be a headline.

Oh, interesting. That one has been on my want-to-read list for a bit now, glad to know it’s worth the read!

I need more cats. I don’t have the right ratio yet

What sci-fi would you recommend?

You could always highlight the more interesting stories, like the one where Lot gave an angry unruly mob his virgin daughters to rape, because he couldn’t bear the thought of two strange men having to fight off that crowd. Or the verse about “blessed is he who dashes the little ones heads on the rocks” or whatever it is. Or write a disclaimer in the front, reminding readers to not take anything written inside seriously, and to think critically while reading.

I know it’s yikes. It felt icky to write it out, but I did because its true. It’s well documented that women are far more likely to be “running the house” even when working full time. So many articles, podcasts, and books have been written about it. There’s even a comic floating around the internet. (https://english.emmaclit.com/2017/05/20/you-shouldve-asked/)

Guess I won’t be sleeping tonight. Thanks for that.
