Everyone talks about privilege. White privilege, pretty privilege. But what about allergy-free privilege? These people need to recognize their life advantage and grovel to us sufferers who spend our lives squirting shit up our noses and battling swollen membranes

I don't think it's possible to create any sort of classifieds without these guys. They are a staple. They are ingrained. They are the foundation.
Also, if you want to pay to smell someone you should be clear about what the smell provider can expect you to be doing/wearing during the smelling...

Logged back on FB after maybe 4 months away and my tolerance for the clickbait reels is so low I can't even watch them at all.
Esp the ones that are like SEVEN AUDIO STIMS THAT PROVE YOU HAVE HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM or REASONS YOUR GLUTE IMBALANCE IS DESTROYING YOU. The fearmongering is ridiculous

When I was younger I tried wearing foundation for a while. The more often I wore it, the uglier I felt any time I took it off and didn't wear any. I relied on it more and more. My baseline changed. It skewed my self-perception (and also made my body dysmorphia worse), so I stopped wearing it at all.

And it can allll be rooted back to Intagram and Meta. The idea that you have to capture and dissect everything you create into short video snippets. The thing you're creating becomes a marketing exercise in and of itself. Podcasts became a marketing tool to generate content to appease the algorithms

I've nearly completely avoided the political side of x since getting on there. Only had one disaster where a bunch of people called me the R word, but the one thing I cannot escape is the people posting @grok questions. It's terrible. They do it as replies too. "Lord Grok, summarize THIS"
