I wonder if this genre just gets a lot of engagement? Lots of 😂, lots of 😤, in addition to the usual marveling at the horror.

Please add me to the list!

Those knobs are so cute! 😍 The whole thing is coming together beautifully.

And I still can't get over how far you've come in such a short time! Look at you go!! 🎉🎉🎉

what a terrible time to be literate

please take this knowledge from me

This was an interesting read, thank you for taking the time to write it up. It is so helpful to see so much of my experience in someone else's, it makes me feel much less alone. ❤️

A person in a fawn response state might find themselves laughing at a racist joke, agreeing with a reprehensible opinion, or a violation of their bodily autonomy, in contradiction to their own values, because they are instinctively trying to avoid coming into conflict with another person by being assertive and maintaining boundaries

😞 it me

Combine that with the autism making it so I genuinely didn't even know how to advocate for myself, and church and family saying I shouldn't because I should serve everyone and turn the other cheek, and it explains a lot about my life.

there's a discussion to be had about whether autistic people pleasing/fawning is itself a direct response to social rejection and trauma due to socialising, but that's something for a different post.

I'm very much looking forward to this one!

I've been following this series of posts, and every one of these has felt so perfect

makes me wonder - did he write the comic with this intention??

is Garfield a figment of all our imaginations? The avatar of our collective depression?

I'm gonna be real bloomer about this shit and take this as a "maybe the tide really is turning" moment

really really really want the last vestiges of public support for this genocide to be shamed out of existence

oh hey sorry, you dropped these

I'm wondering if they were frozen patties that somebody defrosted in the microwave, but then decided "fuck it" and did a few minutes at high until they were "done"

I've always assumed the pigs don't enforce driving laws for shithead trucks because those are their coworkers and friends

Why did this come up? Has another neighbor reported them in the past?

what is even the point of the Carolina squat?!?! I've only seen it once in person, and it looked so fucking dangerous to everyone, truck occupants included

omg omg omg 😂 I just saw a regular pickup truck with crazy camber and a squat thing going on yesterday, that would be sooooo fucking funny on cybertruck

now I desperately want to see one with itty bitty tiny tires, super close to the ground, like that fad in the early 00s

scraping the ground every time they drive on a brick street or hit a pothole 😂

please baby jesus, if we can't have communism, at least give us a cybertruck lowering & stancing fad

The essential, most common ingredients are: flour, vegetable oil, sugar, orange juice, baking powder, nuts, and raisins. Other ingredients may include cinnamon, cloves, soda, and water.

Sounds yummy af!

It's going to be way too hot to bake here this week, but maybe next week I'll try it.

This is the second recent time Biden has mentioned potential future vacancies on the courts. He told a campaign rally last month that he would name “progressive judges” to fill vacancies. “The next president -- they’re going to be able to appoint a couple of justices,” Biden said in Philadelphia at the launch of an effort to court Black voters.

“Look: if, in fact, we’re able to change some of the justices when they retire and put in really progressive judges like we’ve always had, tell me that won’t change your life when Trump justices are already gutting voting rights, overturning Roe, decimating affirmative action, and so much more,” he said that event.

IF ONLY THERE WERE SOMETHING THE PRESIDENT COULD DO

nope, just judges

Anyway

(but not for the judges who will make these decisions, just the guy who might get to decide which judges get to decide)

THE DIARRHEA HAS A HAND

love the look on dude's face, it's like he can hardly believe what's happening - I think this is the first time he's tried that height, and the nervous poop propelled him over

we could never bottom this

Did Gboard update overnight and start giving you the most ridiculous text prediction?

You might be interested in this interview with Dr Miyabe Shields about cannabis and ADHD and autism. I mentioned it in a thread on /c/neurodiverse last week, but I'm starting to feel like it needs it's own post because it keeps coming up.

One of my big takeaways was that she truly believes that most daily users of cannabis are self-medicating neurodivergents trying to survive in a neurotypical word.

Video description: Dr. Miyabe Shields has a PhD in endocannabinoid pharmsci and is co-creator of 'Network of Applied Pharmacognosy' with Dr. Riley Kirk, a non-profit contributing to education and destigmatising of emerging medicinal natural products. Miyabe is also a thriving queer and neurodivergent Instagram personality with over 40K followers, which is often used to promote 'Project Chronic' from 'Dose Like A Scientist', a community-based educational platform for neurodivergents providing a network, teaching them about pharmacology and advocacy.

it's a lot like the PeeWee, but it involves more booty than pelvis
