That became roommates, never got married, joked about being a couple, co parented their kids, and were buried next to each other. They were gal pals.
@GBBranstetter
You'd think in a sane country not only would we prevent this, but we'd commute sentences and make victims whole when the State can't, or won't, provide a safe incarceration to those in it's forced care. Or does being raped not count as cruel and unusual in our society anymore?

No, he saved the part of the comb used for new brood and not honey. After removing the honey, he reattached the brood comb so the offspring wouldn't be lost. He was trying to do as little harm as possible.

I've been abused and gaslit by my parents my whole life, and sometimes you just need another person who has been through it to say in bluntly, so here goes:
THIS IS GASLIGHTING.
THEY ARE EXPECTING YOU TO PUT THEM FIRST.
THEIR CONVIENICE IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR HEALTH.
@zoiedt
A few years ago Bank of America froze my entire account and kept a month of SSDI benefits because I didn't sound female enough to a customer service rep who kept calling me "SIR" in a loud deep voice. It was also during Pride month too. Banks are evil.
@SiliconeAndBone
I'm getting the vibe that they've just never had good sex, or an orgasm, and they'd just prefer to get it over with. But people who've never had different types of orgasms from different erogenous zones are really missing out on the best parts of sex.
@AuthorOfFiction
It's more than just genetic testing. There is also a internal and external genital inspection in some sports, which includes palpating the clitoris to determine if it's too penis-like based on texture and shape. So basically they want to fondle them too.
@ErinInTheMorn
I live in Teaxs. All my trans friends know the only way to survive being held overnight by the police is to get thrown in the urine filled isolation cell because you are gonna be raped in the male holding cell. Cops will refuse to honor your legal docs/ID with a big smile.

@LolOverruled
If coasts count as border, all airports, even GA airports, should count as borders, right? So this is effectively covering the whole country, because that's how they will apply it as soon as they want to. Ask for an inch and then take all of it anyway.
@Ancommiey
I just made it out of Houston in November. It's scary down there. Most people don't care and will leave you be, but all it takes is crossing paths with the wrong person and it can be a life or death situation. Knowing that state wants you dead doesn't make it easy to live there.
@AuthorOfFiction
“To evaluate the effects of high testosterone, the international athletic association’s protocol involves measuring and palpating the clitoris, vagina, and labia, as well as evaluating breast size and pubic hair scored on an illustrated five-grade scale.”
@AlexPetrovnia
So we are going back to just criminalizing cross dressing, and they will have no problem applying that to trans people while stopping transitions and preventing legal gender changes so no one can be exempt from the new morality laws. Wasn't this how the Stonewall riot was caused?
@sqiouyilu
I'm intersex and I'm of the opinion that if a person with PCOS wants to take the identity I'm not going to be offended. Awareness benefits everyone. I do wish there were a way better differentiate between conditions being functional (i.e. hormones) and structural (i.e. organs).
@remembrancermx
@SouthTexasPansy
I've been there. I may not know exactly what you have been through, but I recognized all the times I defended my parents and sought ways to blame myself while my friends stood by screaming, "An 8 year old shouldn't have to be that responsible! You are 100% not at fault" and such.
@epistemophagy
I mean, have you read the contracts she required her distributors to sign if they wanted to sell her books toward the end of the series? She has always been a petty person and used her power to enforce her desires even when they weren't things that authors should have demanded.

@oddgoblin1312
How the hell do people bond without sharing similar experiences? Seems selfish to expect your experiences to be so special that no one else could have ever experienced similar. 🤔
@adamconover
I think this should also result in copyright being returned to original authors. If you aren't publishing there is no service to society and copyright is only granted as a means to promote the arts and advancement for all society. Hoarding IP is theft from society.
@oriwa_
Also the first hour should just be them all in an inn arguing as they try to decide why they would even group up in the first place. That's all I remember from DnD, players not wanting their char to play with the other chars cause "my character would spit on them" and such.
@AxLizzie
@GBBranstetter
Yea, it's sickening that prison rape is now seen as part of the punishment. We have TV shows about it but no one seems to think that if you remove a person's freedom, you should have to protect them from victimization if you deny their ability to do it themselves. No one cares.🤬
@epistemophagy
I mean, autistic people spend their whole life fighting back against a system that literally tortures them. The cowardly ones don't make it. This is true of a lot of ND people. You have to stand up for yourself or you'll just be left to die.
@FemboyYt
You should get a wedding dress and dress it up with some seaweed or netting to add to the mystery. Also do some corpse makeup around the eyes and only fish when there is fog or in full moons. If you're gonna be a legend, might as well be a spooky one, right?
@IamJadehawk
@AnaMardoll
Livestock also has forced breeding and genetic controls. The powerful see people as commodities, children by extension are assets of the parents. Assets are to be managed, and you can see how the powerful are getting their breeding and quality control mechanics implemented.
@shaun_vids
A State gains its power from the consensual conformity of the people, or it gets it with a monopoly on violence. Most claim to do the first, all do the second.
@disrupthehuman
I honestly think most trans people that aren't nonbinary don't understand nonbinary peoples experiences. It's a sad case of where trans people should listen to instead of talking over nonbinaries when we talk about our lived experiences. It's exhausting.
@ZamboniToni
Once had a cop threaten to kill me for not getting out of the car while ignoring my screams of "My seat belt is on, I can't get out!" because I followed *HIS* orders and he never told me to take it off.
I complied and almost died for it.

@HugoThatPinkCat
It gets worse when you read the books. Hammond has helped him with something financial, which to Hammond must be a trifle, but the deal is such that this man must work nonstop to accomplish a near impossible goal or Hammond considers him to be ungrateful for the help he got.
@chronicallybeee
I'd be dead if not for delivery. Times I was unable to get out for supplies for months and I don't have a car, so when you factor in the time and cost of transport, the delivery is about the same cost to me. Why shouldn't I save my energy? Is my comfort not as important as abled?

@anaisbetts
Had a manager that said I was too negative for pointing out serious design flaws once. I'd seen similar things blow up before and despite being told I had been hired for all my experience, I was expected to not use it. So glad I left that place.
@suchnerve
My favorite true crime video I ever watched was about a woman how made a business of supplying hard to detect poisons to women for the purposes of "divorcing" their husbands sold as makeup.

@Chican3ry
Sounds like my dad. He went out of his way to make me homeless for being trans. Still trying to recover from his "love and support" two years later. He really thought being a parent meant he got to end my life too. 😠 These types of parents are way too common.
@iamharaldur
My parents disowned me and destroyed all my possessions. I'm so glad that there are real parents in the world like you that put their children's needs ahead of their own desires. Thank you. 💜

@gunsnrosesgirl3
No problem. Love bees. Had a couple hives and you learn to spot the difference between the types of comb. The bright almost powdery yellow capped cells have brood in them, the honey cells have a darker colored cap so it's easy to see which is which when you've been around them.
@the_nerd_skull
I love how she used her royalty checks to defend herself from criticism a few months ago. Nothing says entitlement like bragging about how you are too rich to give a shit.
@nytimes
"How did that happen?" you ask? Are you kidding me? Have you seen the crap you write about trans people? It's pretty clear it happened because you helped make it happen. You helped start a genocide, where is your integrity?
@livininjeopardy
@ErinInTheMorn
It's Texas. They will just ignore your ID or lose it. My friend was given the choice of the isolation room for two days with urine on the floor or to wait with the men until they could verify her ID & duty commander signed off. She transitioned young and passes. What can you do?

@jenelaina
I remember learning about it in high school, but it was presented as a side note in a "we did this bad thing, but we don't anymore, so celebrate our freedom" sort of way. I can't imagine they could even mention the tragedy today without getting sued under various new laws.
@fujomod3r
And who would sign up for a study with a 50% chance going through puberty when you aim is to not even start it. It's unethical to tease people with their condition getting worse based on a flip of a coin.
@SloaneFragment
How can anyone watch that interview, see that Drew is a kind and compassionate person, and then decide they hate her for that? I think people that hate her for this need to reevaluate their life.
unless you have had more than a decade of your life stolen from you, you prolly can't get in the headspace of someone like Britney rn. you simply lack the lived experience. she's free again, let her make the decisions on what she wants to do with her life and her body for once.

I always liked "he was cleaning his gun and it went off in his face". I've actually heard that one used to describe what was either a murder or a suicide given his girlfriend was sitting right next to him.

@bromethazine
I don't even want to know when my parents die. They no longer get to be in my life or my thoughts. And for their sake, I really hope they don't find a way to force me to go to the funeral, cause my eulogy will accurate, but not kind.

@ButNotTheCity
SSRIs are pretty whacky in that we still don't really know why they work, just that they work with some people, and some people actually get no benefit from them at all. They just know they help some people for some reason so we (over)use them.

@EllieSageRN
Straight cis guys too... Had a guy that had this look of awe on his face when he had aftershocks for almost a minute one time I made him come... "I've never had that happen before... that was amazing!"
I didn't have the heart to tell him they only get better from there...

Protective orders are useless as police are not required to enforce them. The Supreme Court has already ruled that the police have no duty to protect citizens from harm. This decision came after a woman was murdered by her ex despite a restraining order & reports to the cops.
@DrifterWorkshop
OMG, that reminds me of the old Ninja Gaiden arcade game where you could pull the no parking sign out of the sidewalk and use it and the clump of concrete as a bludgeon. I love it! And I wish I'd known you did game design sooner too!
