I do think it's pretty funny that fanfic premises based on illegitimate kids as an excuse for crossovers over the years have gone from "Mom character CHEATED on Dad character 😡" to "once upon a time, mommy and daddy had a threesome and now we have YOU!" lmaoooo. People don't want marital discord they just want a third parent

For whatever this is worth....

A large part of my childhood experience felt to me, at the time, like 'Adults Making Up New Rules Just to Make Me Miserable'.

It was far more complex than that, of course.

But in the 70's, it was still "He does so well at reading, and he passes tests based on minimal attention and effort, but he just can't get along with other children, and he assumes he's being mocked a lot of times when he isn't, and he acts out."

I don't even claim I'm much better than I was then, or in my twenties, or thirties, or forties. Everything I seem to understand about myself now, just makes me sad/angry that I can't get that information back to younger versions of me. Even as I realize that people who cared about me and for me back then were absolutely trying to tell me some of this stuff.

I could have had a lot more fun as a kid if my brain didn't insist on making it harder for me.

I probably also could have a lot more fun now if I didn't keep constantly swimming in my own memories.

But, hey, my spouse likes me and my Mom and I have a far better rapport than we did then.

"It hurt to lose to Ronald Reagan. But after the election, I tried to make the transition as smooth as possible. Later, from my experience in trying to brief him on matters of supreme importance, I was very disturbed at his lack of interest. The issues were the 15 or 20 most important subjects that I as President could possibly pass on to him. His only reaction of substance was to express admiration for the political circumstances in South Korea that let President Park close all the colleges and draft all the demonstrators. That was the only issue on which he came alive."

-- Former President Jimmy Carter, on losing the 1980 election and the transition leading to the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, interview with TIME Magazine, October 11, 1982.

Shocking how many people don’t know that hens lay non-fertilized eggs and think the yolk they’re eating is a baby chicken

Had to unfollow this one person on here cause they just would not stop making posts about how transfems on e getting periods is just made up symptoms and like, I don't have definitive proof I only have my and others experience but like how do you, as someone who is not on e, who has access to the same amount of studies looking into this with decent sample sizes as I do (none), feel so confident to say it's all just placebo and made up ? What makes you so confident ? Cause I gotta say after almost two years of nearly right on the dot once a month suddenly feeling nausea all week, taking the most unbelievable shits, feeling all my organs cramp, and having mood swings out the ass which always just so happens to line up with when the two people with uteruses in my house also get their periods, I feel like I have more data to work off of than you do
