Hey this frustrated the shit out of me that there wasn’t a source/link to the thread.

SO HERE’S THE LINK.

I wanted to retweet the thread and follow them. Thankfully OP didn’t censor their name, too.

Thanks for the hostile link bud

As standardized testing starts up I want to give everyone some reminders.

Your grades do not reflect your worth.

Remember to take care of yourself.

You are not a failure.

This test will not ruin your future if you get a lower score.

You can do your best, and that’s enough.

when lizzo said “self love is survival” and when hannah gadsby said “do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? it’s not humility. it’s humiliation” and when mitski said “i used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that’s awfully convenient to the world. for some of us our best revolt is self preservation”

when audre lorde said “caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare”

[elistudies]

and when albert camus said “the only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion”

Who could have possibly foreseen that organizing the entire service economy around low-wage workers without sick leave or reliable access to a doctor might someday backfire.

The revelation that plus size models more often than not have to wear “padding” (aka fat suits) when they’re too skinny bc the producers want them to have curves but still have a flat tummy and thin face was both shocking and also not shocking at all

[chubb-e-cheese]

Since some ppl asked for sources, here’s one I read

https://metro.co.uk/2021/12/31/size-six-model-reveals-she-wears-padding-for-plus-size-photoshoots-15845558/amp/

A model shared a fashion industry secret on TikTok, showing the padding used to make larger clothes fit models considered to be plus-sized.

Just for the record, I do think polygamy (i.e. marriages between more than two people) should be legal. If a group of consenting adults want to get married they should be able to do so, no matter how many members that group has.

"What about [example of an extremely unhealthy poly relationship]?" What about it? Do you think all monogamous relationships are healthy?

[penrosesun]

It’s so weird to me when people will point to like, literal polygamist cults, and treat them as evidence that polygamy should be illegal.

“But this cult leader married and raped a 12 year old!” My dude, my guy – if he had had zero wives instead of several dozen, it would still have been wrong for him to marry and rape a 12 year old. Monogamy would not have made this actual child rape any better, literally at all. You get that, right????

And... not for nothing, but do you really think that laws against polygamy make those victims any safer? If you were being raped and abused by your husband, which society do you think you’d have a better chance of escaping in: one where you could simply go to the authorities and get a divorce, or one in which the act of coming forwards and even just admitting that you were in an abusive polygamist marriage could be grounds for you and all of your spouses to face legal prosecution and potentially lose custody of your children? Who do you think can better afford to “just leave”: the woman who is legally married to (and therefore, legally able to divorce) a man and 50+ sister wives, or the woman who is legally considered an unwed mother, and whose rights to any continued contact with her non-biological children hinge entirely on her ability to stay in the good graces of their father?

Let’s talk about extremely unhealthy and abusive poly relationships, actually. Let’s talk about how anti-polygamy laws force these relationships into the shadows, and keep victims from accessing vital services. Let’s talk about how when the FLDS was busted for child rape, and discovered to be keeping multiple pregnant children within their compound, the media covered it as though the biggest issue was the polygamy, and the FLDS was able to successfully pivot the story to one of “religious persecution against plural marriage” rather than one of horrific child sexual exploitation. Let’s talk about that.

The Catholic Church spent $3 million trying to crush abortion rights in Kansas, and failed

[assumptionprime]

[whos-this-lisa-person]

If the church can spend 3 million dollars to influence the government, they need to be taxed.

you can get religious trauma from spiritual and pagan people too.

they're not immune to being shitty.

and your trauma is not less valid because it's not coming from christianity or other big religions.
