Got suspended on twitter for saying I hope Trump dies so guess I gotta come back to tumblr lol

[sailor-sardonyx]

Please help.

I’m a 23 year old lesbian who lives way below the poverty line. As of yesterday, I got a call that my medical debt has been sent to collections, and I have no choice but to enter into a payment plan I cannot afford. I don’t know how this is going to work. I was already drowning beneath my bills, surviving off of the food from the restaurant I work at. I still need to visit more doctors to make sure what’s been hurting me isn’t something more serious.

Please help. I’m so fucking scared.

Even 20 dollars helps. Even 2 dollars helps. Even a reblog helps.

Pay Alexandria Thompson using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/roseofnokstella and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back everyone to the grand 2025 relaunch of OC Central. After a couple years of inactivity (and me finishing the semester), it's about time we get things kicking back into gear. That especially includes the beloved discord server, which is is turning 8 years old this year!

With a fresh new overhaul and folks eager to share and see content, it's like nothing ever changed (aside from a lot of relaxation on certain policies, lol).

We hope to see you there!

"don't go grocery shopping when hungry" doesn't work for me because Not Hungry Me cannot conceive of a universe in which food is needed so she buys like a cup of pomegranate seeds and some fancy cheese and thinks that'll get us through the week.

[twofingerswhiskey]

FUN FACT the scientist who said that made it the fuck up! he's also the same dude who said that if kids made eye contact with the character on food boxes they wanted it more. so now all the cereal mascots/kids mascots look downwards to a child height. but THEY MADE IT UP and it's allllllll bullshit and bad science to the point cornell deleted the fuckin cereal eyes study from the face of the earth and modern research is saying you SHOULD shop when ur hungry because it makes you put more value on food that would give you more nutrition and actually sharpens your ability to feed yourself well

[squidcrimes]

So I think the cereal box guy was Brian Wansink and honestly that tracks. If Wansink thinks we should be grocery shopping when full then we should definitely be doing it when hungry. Bruh is an absolute joke.

[twofingerswhiskey]

THAT'S THE BASTARD

[twofingerswhiskey]

IT'S HIM

imagine being so bad at science that your university forces you to stop

things he also came up with that are BULLSHIT:

eating around fat people makes you eat more junk food??? (wtf?)

portion sizes affecting how hungry you feel

"if you are served second portions you are more likely to take seconds"

the entire concept of mini and fun-sized portion sizes (based in fatphobia btw!)

the idea of boredom eating and stress eating being bad for you and not normal

the idea of eating in front of a screen being terrible for your digestion

that julia child's cooking was trying to make you fat (based on 18 of 4500 recipes...)

the idea of western food being unhealthy

the cereal eyes thing

the shopping while hungry thing

and much much more!

also he committed kickstarter fraud in 2018 and is a massive fatphobe who thinks fat people recruit others to become fat by just existing. fuck him lmao

Here's a few articles by Stephanie M. Lee about Wansink's multiple p-hacking scandals. Initially I just found these looking for more information but now I'm also extremely amused by how much she was on this guy's ass for his shitty science.

[lostinhistory]

Maintenance Phase also did an episode on this guy

[queeranarchism]

When you first learn about Brian Wansink, he's an extremely funny example of a BAD scientist.

When you think longer about Brian Wansink, the fact that he got so much media attention and many people know his lies but not the retractions, the fact that he was able to spread flagrant fatphobia with hardly any pushback for so long and the fact that there were policies based on his bullshit, is horrifying.

Story is wild

Little girl was part of a county fair agro-educational program where they raise an animal for a few months and at the end it’s slaughtered. Supposed to teach them about the economics of farming and stuff.

But the little girl loved her goat so much she was crying on the day her goat was supposed to be taken away, so her mom sent the county fair people an email saying “I’ll pay for the goat and any expenses. We’ve had several deaths in the family in the past year, I don’t wanna take away one more thing my little girl loves.” Technically the goat had already been sold at auction, so the mom was on the hook for about $1000, only about $70 of which would have been profit for the county fair.

The county fair people were irate and got law enforcement involved, over this “breach of contract”. They literally got a fucking judge to sign a search warrant, authorizing them to go to this little girl’s house and search every room and every cabinet or box “large enough to contain a small goat”. The sheriff’s deputies seized the goat, and whoever they gave it to immediately slaughtered it, though they were supposed to wait until some kind of agreement had been worked out.

In the county fair’s initial email correspondence with the girl’s mother, they made it clear that they were pissed off because the story of the little girl who loved her goat was circulating on social media making them look bad, and they felt the girl needed to be taught a lesson about keeping your promises or whatever. So they refused the mother’s offer to pay for it, and insisted they get the goat. Even if it meant sending the fucking cops into her house lmao.

[kunosoura]

the congressman who bought the goat didn’t have any objections to the family saving the goat from slaughter either! it’s fucking insane that the cops were so eager to play act their swat commando fantasies that they played stooge to the benefit of no one except some self important local organizers!

Alternate link, LAtimes locks their stuff behind paywalls sometimes

[theelectricfrog]

Don’t forget the part where the goat wasn’t where they had a warrant to search, so they drove 500 miles, leaving the area they have legal jurisdiction in, then searched a farm they didn’t have a warrant for ans seized the goat. The fair then had the goat slaughtered, even though a court had ordered them to keep it alive until ownership was resolved and despite the fact that both potential owners of the goat had decided to keep it alive.

They broke multiple laws in order to “teach” a little girl the “lesson” that “everybody has to follow the rules”.

I sure hope all of the complaints sent to Shasta District Fair CEO Melanie Silva, whose decisions these were and continues to defend her actions, are polite and don’t waste too much ink. I’m certain nobody would take advantage of the fact that the Sasha District Fair and Event Center’s contact page lists their phone and fax numbers, not to mention the email form below that.

Would be a shame if that information was to circulate far an wide, and ruin that despicable woman's easter holidays

[ralfmaximus]

I found the lawsuit filing. It is a work of art, brief and to the point. If you read nothing else, check out page 2, the section headed Nature of the Action. Magnificent.

[bisquid]

One of the things that bugs me in the notes is a bunch of people being like 'it's a livestock animal, it's her fault for getting attached' and.

My dudes, I cannot emphasize enough that the little girl's emotional attachment to the goat is in fact the least of the issues with this story. The main issue in this story is the fact that a bunch of cops broke multiple laws, including the unlawful entry to the property the goat was being held, the unlawful seizure and destruction of said goat, and the unlawful use of a criminal search warrant in a civil dispute case, just to start with.

The little girl owned the goat. At no point in the proceedings - and indeed at no point in the proceedings in the course of the normal auction-purchase-slaughter of a livestock animal in this program - did the fair own the goat. At no point in the proceedings did the person who successfully bid on the goat actually own it - he had made the winning bid to purchase rights to the meat. He hadn't even done that yet! The goat legally and incontrovertibly belonged to the little girl. The very worst that should have happened in this story is a brief property ownership dispute in a civil court.

The fair CEO decided to unlawfully force the auction of the goat, and, when the girl's mother began to dispute her actions, to make a false claim of theft, with precisely ZERO legal basis, calling the cops on an already emotionally fragile child, and then had the temerity to be angry with the child's mother because the story was making them look bad on social media.

Regardless of your opinion on the meat industry, livestock slaughter, or 4H, 'cops drive 500 miles, perform an illegal search, seizure and destruction of an American citizen's property, on the word of a biased 3rd party with zero legal rights to the property in question' should make you angry. Because it is a violation of civil rights, and also had no motive besides needless cruelty to an already grieving child.
