youtube shorts is just tiktok without being on the app the amount of "i'm a [qualification] and [misinformation]" could make one turn their skin inside-out in protest. "i'm a board-certified OB-GYN & it's only been about the last hundred years that women have actually experienced menopause. We didn't live long enough to experience it" how can you be so incredibly wrong about something so integral to your practice. King of the Hittites Hattusilis III was told in 1250 BCE that his sister was too old to reproduce at age 50+. Aristotle wrote in the 4th century BCE that women stopped menstruating between ages 40 to 50, common menopause ages today still. i cannot begin to tell you how 4th century & 1250 BCE don't really count as "the last hundred years" unless that -s is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waiter waiter more misinformation laws.

long personal ramble below 👇👇👇👇

fuck it I am just going to go make friends!!!

i have been in a state of chronic and debilitating loneliness for most of my young adulthood. realistically, much longer. and there are so many obstacles to social interaction in my path that i’ve been stubbornly clinging to since i was a teenager. i have severe anxiety and depression. i hate small talk. i get triggered every time i take the bus - or do anything else. the traumas i have experienced in my life make it really difficult for me to connect with others in a meaningful and lasting way.

but i am done caring about that bitch!!! i am going to do what every therapist on the planet has been begging me to do for years now and just start going to one of those stupid lesbian book clubs on meetup. and it will be horrible. i will probably feel really isolated and unfulfilled at first, and the commute will drain my soul, and i will almost certainly be the only person at the function having a full-blown out-of-body experience and/or contemplating imminent death.

but you know what? at the end of the day…that shit literally doesn’t matter. bc if I keep sitting here on my intimacy-starved ass hoping the connection I’m searching for will drop out of the fucking sky, i simply will not survive the winter. i’m too mentally ill to take that kind of risk with my own stability, and even if I wasn’t, I have zero desire to remain in a state of perpetual misery and desperation anyways.

would it be great if some some sort of ao3-found-family-meetcute scenario smacked me directly in the face like a hyperrealistic dildo? sure. but the odds of that happening are probably close to zero. so as much as hate it, I’m gonna have to accept that my social needs will simply ~not be met~ until I actually go put the boring, unflattering legwork in to fulfill them.

anyways….thoughts and prayers for me, i guess. i wish this country’s social support systems were less idiotically structured, and i wish caring and being cared for didn’t feel like such a drastic survival need for me right now - because, truly, it is PROFOUNDLY unsexy. but thems the grapes. so I just gotta do the damn thing and hope something good comes out of it in the end.

How is tarrows relationship with the scavs? Does she have any scav friends?

back at Fish's!!!! she has a whole fam, still! well... technically. after her life as a sluggy that was a sister to two scavs and part of a whole tribe, her relationship with them is pretty good. i like to think that animals n such r better capable of feeling out a person's spirit so they'd know that that there is Their Tinkerer

she can Kind of understand them- it's kinda like trying to listen to the second/third language you know but the speaker is going full ham with some accent that makes it hard to completely make sense of their sentences

her rep would be continentally good and she'd still refuse to harm them (both the Tinkerer and the Seafarer aren't capable of hurting scavs, speaking in game terms, n they r locked at chieftain lvl of rep). prolly would go out of her way to help them out n would be all panicked if They panicked cuz of her shotgun

Review: A Gathering of the Tribes--The Black Lives Matter Issue

Guest editor Ishmael Reed has gathered poets and writers for Issue 16, the Black Lives Matter Issue, an issue that takes on police violence aimed at the bodies of black men and women, and the institutional in the bones racism hardened in its marrow.…

On 7 October, Hamas carried out an unprecedented surprise attack on Israel. Under the cover of a barrage of rockets, fighters from the Hamas military wing, the Qassam Brigades, broke through the Gaza border fence to attack nearby military bases and settlements (kibbutzim).

Israel claims that during the attack, Hamas fighters massacred some 1,200 Israelis, the majority civilians, while committing unthinkable atrocities.

A close review of events on 7 October shows that Hamas fighters instead carried out what amounted to both a military assault and mass kidnapping operation to break Israel’s decades long siege on Gaza, which many view as the world’s largest concentration camp.

In the process, they did kill hundreds of Israelis, including soldiers, police, and civilians, while taking hundreds more as captives back to Gaza.

At the same time, many of the claims made by Israel about the scale and nature of Hamas atrocities, including the most horrific, have proven to be fabrications.

Shockingly, many of the Israeli civilians and soldiers who died that day were killed not by Hamas, but by Israeli forces themselves, both as a result of friendly fire and the controversial military policy known as the “Hannibal Directive.”

The policy dictates it is better for Israel to kill its own soldiers or civilians rather than allow an enemy to take them captive.

As detailed below, the Israeli military unleashed overwhelming firepower to reconquer the military bases and kibbutzim near Gaza that had been taken over by Hamas.
