A “flash warning” in font to small to read is not a proper flash warning

A “flash warning” in the corner of the post where you cannot see it right away is not a proper flash warning

A “flash warning” that appears the same time as the flash is not a proper flash warning

A “flash warning” in a hard to read font is not a proper flash warning

A “flash warning” in the caption is not a proper flash warning

A “flash warning” in the comments is not a proper flash warning

—

A proper flash warning is

- in a big, easy to read font

- is up for enough time before the flash for someone to read

- is in the middle of the screen

Put proper flash warnings

wishing everyone a low pain and manageable symptom day youve got this.

It's okay to do things slowly.

It's okay if doing the dishes takes you an hour.

It's okay if walking to the store and back takes up your whole morning.

It's okay if it takes you a year to finish a book.

It's okay if you need a moment to think between every step of a task.

It's okay if you need to sit down while getting dressed.

It's okay to eat slowly.

It's okay if you need things explained to you multiple times.

It's okay to be slow in any way whatsoever.

I don't know who needs to hear this but:

-"it only hurts a little" is still pain

-"I can ignore it" is still pain

-"I can cope with/manage it" is still pain

-"it's bearable" is still pain

-"I can push through it" is still pain

-"it doesn't hurt that much" is still pain

-"it doesn't stop me from doing x" is still pain

You don't need to be in agonizing pain to be in pain.

shoutout to slow learners. shoutout to people who take a very long time to parse and grasp new concepts. shoutout to people who struggle to follow directions. shoutout to people who can't perform a task just after watching someone else do it. shoutout to everyone who needs learning aids, needs to take notes, needs to try multiple times, and needs to be told the explanation repeatedly.

you're not dumb. you're not lesser. you're not doing it on purpose. everyone learns at their own pace, and people forcing you to learn faster than you can are the ones causing a disruption in your ability to learn. it's not your fault.

We need to remember that we are fighting for equality and equity.

I think if you leave out the media, women aren’t as celebrated as you think. Can I ask in which ways you think men are oppressed in the west?

"If you leave out one of the biggest areas that women are celebrated, women aren't really celebrated all that much" is certainly a take.

And yes, I can tell you exactly how men are oppressed and/or disadvantaged and/or discriminated against in the west. Here are just a few examples:

In the US, men can't register to vote without also signing up for selective service (the draft), while women don't have to

In many European countries, men cannot legally be raped by women. The definition is set up so that only women can be rape victims of men

The Duluth Model, which says that cops responding to domestic violence calls must assume the man is the perpetrator even if he's the one who called the cops or has injuries, is widely adopted by the police

Women are heavily favored in custody cases

Men have zero say in whether or not their children are killed by their mothers in the womb

When DNA tests show that a man is not the father of a woman's child, sometimes a judge will still say he has to pay child support because he makes more money than the real father

There are hundreds of women only scholarships, but very few men's only scholarships (though thankfully this one is changing)

Discriminatory hiring guidelines that favor women over men

The difference in response, both legal and societal, between physical violence from a man to a woman and physical violence from a woman to a man

Ad campaigns that chastise men for being men and celebrate women for being women

Hell, the current US vice president was picked solely because she was a black woman

And those are just a few examples. So, while women do face problems as a group in modern western society, it's men who currently have more societal disadvantages.

You sure love saying every pregnant woman consented huh? Really nice you rape apologist

That’s actually not what I said at all.

And abortion is often used to cover up rape so if one of us is a rape apologist it’s you.

[resilientdeafie]

quick question- do you know what an ectopic pregnancy is? one of your recent posts you were celebrating that Wyoming does not allow for termination of an ectopic pregnancy, so I'm wondering if you know what it is

Yes I do. I have a friend who has had an ectopic pregnancy. You need to read the actual bill before making assumptions.

Women with ectopic pregnancies in Wyoming will still be treated because it’s not an abortion.
