On the other app, it’s all men in my replies about a pregnant woman and some dumbass using Grok

On World Mental Health Day, I'm thinking of those who...
Are struggling in silence
Have faced stigma & judgment
Are on a healing journey
Support a loved one dealing with mental health challenges
Need a reminder that its okay to ask for help
Courageously share their stories

The Insurrection Act and Martial Law are different. The main difference between them is whether we have constitutional rights or not. You have freedom of movement under the Insurrection Act. Under Martial Law, you have no rights. We need to understand these nuances. They will be used against us.

Well, that really helps my editorial for Bodyslam/Substack:

Confirmation.

I need to get this off my chest because, is it bad I care so much for these people I see on television weekly as if I know them personally when they don't know I even fucking exist?

That's to be answered someday, but idk.

I was thinking of Wardlow too. It’s sucked so much for him.

I think you’re right. They really do.

You should, whatever helps keep them in line.

Not renewing the contract of a pregnant wrestler is an awful look.

The South Carolina senator behind SB 323 says his bill wouldn't outlaw birth control.

But we found a pamphlet he wrote that says “all forms of the birth control pill” kill a “human being.”

NEW: Cops in Texas told 404 Media in May they used Flock to find a woman who self-administered an abortion out of concern for her safety.

Documents now show police were conducting a “death investigation” and discussed whether they could charge her with a crime: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Yeah, I agree with that too. Those wrestlers definitely have struggled but it just feels like a dark energy that clings to Kota.

Mark Davis has had a rough couple of years but still, I don’t think it’s been worse than Kota. Poor Kota. ☹️
