At the same time it’s not helpful for those struggling there. Discipline is built up by the practice of doing. I have ADHD too and when I build up dread I get worse task avoidance, but when I do a little bit and keep building on the bits I do it gets easier.

I’ve also found that it helps when I celebrate solstices and equinoxes. Acknowledging and participating in each season keeps them from flying by

Yeah he could have retired and come out, tried to make the worst people in SC more tolerant of specifically white cis gay men. But even that basic decency escaped him.

Never let it be said that he ever found a moral choice difficult, for he spent his whole life choosing to do the wrong and cowardly thing without question.

Male prostitutes in DC are gonna have to tighten their belts through this difficult time

I’m sticking with Robertson where I can. It’s so much better

Nah the ones with the cookbook are on the opposite side of the political spectrum

It’s a type of mustelid (weasels, otters, and the like)

I wish stoat consistently worked for me, it didn’t so I switched to matrix

Being in a bad place has absolutely resulted in plenty of people turning to sex work and sleeping outside. I’ve had to do the latter completely sober.

Yeah drugs can make the situation worse, but it’s really easy to be in a financially desperate position and turn to drugs to cope with what you’re having to do to get through it.

The reality is that drug addiction, financial destitution, and homelessness are complicated and there are multiple categories of people in these positions. Drugs will often make the situation worse, and can be the incitement to the downward spiral, but for plenty the drugs are more of a symptom than a cause.

Wow, that first link was painful to read

Yeah it’s a mixed conservation recreation area. People living there impedes both purposes. Especially when those people are mentally ill and not committed to the aims of the forest service

Exactly. I knew a woman in college who wore hijab. Apparently in high school she didn’t, and her family always treated it as her choice. She chose it because of the racism and anti muslim mistreatment she faced making her embrace it as a fuck you to the mistreatment. It made sense to me, though it saddened me how much harassment she had faced. How she dressed wasn’t my problem, and I was always more focused on the brain under her hijab than the hair.

I dislike such cultural expressions of modesty, and I worry about cultural pressure towards them. They remind me too much of my baptist cousins. But I firmly oppose the government or society intervening in how people dress. So long as every person old enough to choose for themselves is permitted to, my opinions are my problem.

“It’s called Noo Amsterdam, I don’t know why you think it’s referencing some place we’ve never heard of, it just means big harbor”

As does Medina OH. We have a lot of middle eastern names in the country actually.

Also Memphis TN is named after the city in Egypt, and I swear I’ve seen some Cairos around this country.
