Our list of gang affiliated clothing was so long the teachers couldn’t remember what to enforce. They didn’t dress code anyone because they’d have to start following the rules for everyone.
It included: bandanas, slouchy toques, white tank tops, black hoodies, red or blue hats, and red or blue shirts.
Fun fact: The school sports teams wore black hoodies with gold logos.
Grade one detention. Yelling at another kid for reading over my shoulder during quiet time after I quietly, repeatedly asked him to stop.
I’m in my 30’s now and you can still get FUCKED Mrs. Williams. You can eat a dick too, Patrick. Get your own fucking book.
This is called a ‘Hyperbole.’
I didn’t realize I was giving fascists a reason not to stop being fascists.
that’s super weird and also I think fascist somehow
It’s a toy. A succulent little toy.
Friendship transports a type of good.
Steve’s still just as fit as ever, he even offered his truck so I didn’t have to pay movers. My kid likes to play with Clara’s on weekends, while she tells me the funniest stories about customers. She’s seeing someone new she’s pretty excited about. We’re all in a band and we practice in my garage on weekends, since I don’t mind hosting. I’d rather fill that space with old friends than bitter memories.
I believe in good sources. Thanks for noticing ~
I get whatever’s on sale.
Interesting perspective. Care to elaborate?
I’m not able to go vegan. Crickets are a pretty low impact animal protein product, and I don’t find it any harder to work cricket flour into recipes than I did trying to make things vegan. I actually like cricket stew, crackers, and cookies.
Could be good for pets, too, if obligate carnivores/omnivores can get the same nutrition from more environmentally friendly sources.
For background, I was vegetarian for about a year before both a doctor and a nutritionist confirmed it was why I felt sick, tired, and in a fog most of the time.
Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids. There’s been a fair amount of research done on its role in mitigating ADHD, specifically. I take them and notice a decline in mood and overall presence of mind when I’ve forgotten to take my pills for a while.
If one of my besties thought they could live their best life as a helicopter I would absolutely support them.
Bumping because I’m interested, too. I tried teaching myself ASL, hoping to find a good, free app. The only decent resources I found were paid.
Shit, we should just stop observing and testing because the dictionary has us covered.
Aside from personal anecdotes, like my trans aunt marrying a straight man, and trans friends dating self-identified straight, or gay people who have never had a relationship or attraction outside their preferred gender—there have been studies on the subject.
Not many, admittedly, since it’s a new area of research. Politics, presentation, and genitals are factors (attraction to pre-op vs post-op trans people differs,) but there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence, articles and surveys that have been published if you searched for “straight attraction to trans identities.”
I didn’t post a link because none are as specific and comprehensive as the volume of information from a search. The Wikipedia article by that title has a short list of resources as well.
And why not challenge yourself to consider alternatives to your views? Learn more about sex, attraction and gender identity because it’s interesting? Unless there are specific reasons you don’t want to think straight men could be attracted to trans women.
Not at will, no. But the sex/gender attraction thing isn’t accurate.
People who consider themselves straight may still feel the same level of attraction toward trans people of their preferred gender. In my limited understanding, this is based on a combination of presentation, hormones and pheromones.
Rick is a treasure and I want to get fit with him.
Turns out I can only get off using my feet.
Yes. This is the shit I need. Fun dangly toys on my ceiling.
Wattpad, Smashwords, and AO3 come to mind for online writing/publishing platforms.
