I know what is hiding in this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
I know what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
Guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone, oh save me
St Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra, in Turkey in the 4th century AD, and he is officially recognised by the church as the patron saint of sex workers. (To be fair, St Nick is the patron saint of over a hundred professions.)
Because deep down we know that what matters in this life is much more than winning for ourselves. What really matters is helping others win, too, even if it means slowing down and changing our course now and then.

AMAZING. Also bc with masks, even if we go out, our extreme attractiveness is easily kept under wraps. No awkward, rapey compliments in the food line. No sneaky photos getting taken of us on the bus. No glaring girlfriends dragging their lecherous boyfriends across the street
@navyhato
I'll help you out: you used photographs from 2022 for all the actresses other than Katie Leung. Why you did this I'm unsure, as they are all equally beautiful to this day. Are you fetishizing youth? Fetishizing Asians? Either way, here's Katie Leung in 2021/2.

I have to disagree here. Being hit on by anybody of any gender tends to be annoying, invasive, insulting or all three. More people should approach at a slight angle, with no physical contact and an offering of snacks, as one would a grumpy cat.
My dad died of his fourth heart attack on this night 24 years ago. An incredible mind who only settled down, after a string of capers, girlfriends and poor dietary choices, in his early 50s. Furnished me with genetic awkwardness, a lifetime of missing and inspiration. Amor fati💙

It's neat to have assumptions about people you never met, enjoy them. But don't vomit your inevitable disillusionment all over the internet -- that's silly. Silly goose.

In order for non violent action to lead to your desired situational outcome, the people you interact with need to have a concience.
Nonviolence "working" = you successfully being nonviolent.

And on that note it could very well be the work of a human, likely a smaller person like my 9 year old, legit making a mini funeral for her beloved bees.
Still a really cool example of cross-species interaction :)
Be generous with your family. Even if your convictions clash with theirs, don’t reject them—your skepticism of your infallibility can only benefit you. It will also save you a good deal if grief when they're gone.

The CPSMA says teaching primary children “what it means to be transgender would require to teach something about which there is neither a scientific nor social consensus to highly impressionable young children”.
...BUT IT'S OKAY TO TEACH THEM ABOUT CHRISTIANITY.
There are different races of animals, but not of humans, there are only different tribes of human. If you cross a Chinese and a British you will get a human. If a chimp and a gorilla mate they will produce a cross-species.
There is no racism. Only ignorance, hatred and bigotry.
Dept. of Equality has confirmed that migrants' shopping access will be restricted to a ‘food hall’, contained within the Direct Provision Centre, where items are purchased using a cashless points system.
Department of Equality? Cruel joke. More like Department of Segregation.
Even when the government tries to be nice, they still insist on segregating asylum seekers. This is disgraceful Minister

There is so much ridiculous stuff on this thread outing people as super sexually insecure or total chauvinists...smh.
1. BDSM does not have to centre sex. At all.
2. So you stumbled into 1 (one) kink club 1 (one) time? Guess that makes you a connoisseur then!

9 years old in New York. Not thrilled with life.
19 years old in Sweden. Loving the forest.
29 years old in Galway. More forest love.

I'm 29, I have acne scars, I have circles under my eyes, this photo is entirely unedited and I'm not wearing any makeup either. I've never had a facial or any kind of cosmetic surgery.
I go out like this every day, and I feel beautiful.

Nonsense. You've met one nerdy guy and youve met one nerdy guy.
Furthermore the human brain isn't fully developed until 25 years of age. Someone 25yrs+ dating someone 25ishyrs- is an exploitative unequal dynamic...
This is maybe my favourite recent picture of myself, taken yesterday by my daughter who instructed the pose and then made me laugh at the last minute.
And I'd just been reunited with my family after far too many long years.
Here's to seeing and being seen by those you love.

Consensual BDSM is not the same as violence against women - not least because women are not always the /s of a D/s relationship.
Having more than one partner and practicing ethical polyamory are not the same thing.

📍overpopulated slums and prisons,

That sort of thing.

Yesterday my daughter said,
"I don't believe in god, but I believe in mother nature, cause I know that's basically *pokes my butt.* And I believe you are a kind and loving force who brings justice to the world."
Nobody ever try to give me any compliments again. I'm full.

Yes, to make way for the next batch of warmongers. Because that's clearly what's important here - palatable rhetoric and smooth stage transitions. Inequality? War? Misery? Systemic oppression? Pfft, we didn't come to the theatre to think about THAT!
Debt-based economics breeds inequality and poverty. What's required is total system overhaul and transition into a resource-based, true economy.

Without insightful, attentive adult intervention, young people become locked into a feedback loop of immature behaviour - in which conflict is resolved through tantrums and vulnerability is exploited - which we carry with us well into adulthood.

At eighteen, I chose to become pregnant. A week later, I was. The following 7 years which marked the final stages of my neurological development were spent orienting my behaviour and thinking patterns around selflessness and empathy.
I've given birth. I've had a laparoscopy.
I defeat depression every damn day.
My body is my fortress. I carved it myself from the clay of a scared little girl. I'm so proud of what I've made.

Fewer strangers pulling up to ask for directions. Rarer to get followed home. Less sexual harassment in the post office cue - 6 feet away! I have actually walked past groups of men without being proposed to OR groped!

Ridiculous. You don't "graduate" from working on yourself. Once you feel you've got a decent enough grip on things, you start going less, but the door is always open if you need extra help in the future. You don't graduate from visiting a gp, do you? Gosh.
