they/them
I met my last long term partner on a dating app, but these days it’s not a route I’d want to take. I met someone on discord more recently in a really wonderful community that allowed me to get to know him and make other friends with none of the same pressure
The only reference I have to go on off the top of my head there is Django Unchained where a difference was noted for those working in the house vs fields. I imagine it was used as emotional manipulation to bribe them with better living conditions in some cases, though
Jokes aside, there have been cultures where women went into labor and would deliver by themselves away from the tribe. It’s been a while since I read about it, but iirc if she returned without the newborn is was either unacknowledged or at minimum just accepted as her decision. Imagine having a still birth or a child with extreme physical deficiencies prior to modern medicine. I do remember thinking when I read it that it surely resulted in women not returning, too, because childbirth can be risky even with a team of professionals.
Also wet nurses have been a thing, and the practices with that range from understandable to horrific - think wives of slave owners not wanting to breast feed, so they force a slave that’s given birth recently take on the duty, usually as a priority over their own child. Course, there’s always been women who couldn’t produce milk, so it has been done altruistically, too
Fourth panel was definitely me, and I’m comfy. Get you some electrolytes, though! Happy new year
You could maybe read it as the cop having implicit knowledge and mourning the loss before he takes action. Like “I sure will miss ya”
Super dark, got a sharp, uncomfortable laugh/gasp outta me
I’ve taken a few classes that touched on this concept. Most interesting to me is the concept of the two halves seemingly being secular vs deist, essentially. Now I’m wondering if the deist half is the “nonsensical” side, as you described.
So how many images would need to be generated at once to take down a city 👀
The carton stuff literally tasted like sweat the one time I tried
I remember thinking she had dropped it on accident and felt bad for her when I first saw it as a kid. She made a little “oh!” with a look of what I thought was surprise
Such as increased rates of infertility iirc
Certainly shouldn’t mean people are less than for being amused by it either… O.o
Actual fact: abortion is a life saving medical procedure
There’s a Netflix doc titled something like “the staircase” where a guy got tried for murder because his wife fell down some stairs. Regulations are written in blood, as they say
Good example for why journaling can be useful:)
Weird, I guess he claims ghostwriters only assisted him with making outlines, but unless he had Steven King level of cocaine addiction idk how he was able to churn out that much so quickly. I haven’t read any of them since I was a kid, though. The dummy episodes gave me horrific nightmares.
Was Washington leading troops after he became president though?
Gotcha, I hear you. I didn’t mean that seeing the wall without context is normal to have a terror response to, either, but I think we’re in agreement otherwise. Tear down the walls by repairing the wall :P
I worked at a public disposal area for a little while and can attest that at least my flyover state/zipcode does separate and sanitize plastic. Cardboard was the only thing that couldn’t have touched oil (including pizza). We only accepted plastics #1 and #2, though, and part of my job included climbing into the dumpster and sorting through. I’d miss it if workers rights weren’t simultaneously such shit* here
*autocorrect trying to sanitize my language too
