this happened to me . Didn’t know what dysphoria even was but loved that I could make my period stop and my breasts shrink. Thank god I found out I was transgender

but also imagine getting off the boat at Galveston in 1848 after living your whole life in Germany you’re getting malaria you’re getting yellow fever etc etc

im from Texas and I was genuinely shocked that that was where a lot of 48ers ended up based on what I Know

- end chattel slavery!/ they /DID/ help build a better and freer world - just across the ocean! I am not a very patriotic person, and as much of a bitter commie as many of the 48ers themselves - but their story represents America at its best to me

I learned recently about the 48ers - Germans who came to America after the failed revolutions of 1848, many of them fought for the Union as enlisted men and even like, generals. their hopes for building a better world in their home countries were dashed, but they came to America and /helped -

I also , in the course of getting a humanities major (bc that class ruled so hard I went and did classics as well), became a way better writer & got experience writing convincing arguments. which helped me get the first F31 grant awarded to my Ph.D lab

We actually should not have empathy for people who subjugate children to their own torturous personal beliefs. These children suffered just as much pain and permanent disability as if they had been severely physically abused. This is not an innocent mistake. A functioning society cannot allow this.

I don’t think these people work out

every policy preference and ideological bent RFK has is oriented around killing more children. It is so truly demented and bizarre

ma’am the wet bulb temperature is obscene if I could be naked in this park I would

Going to a theme park on a nasty hot swamp and getting mad when ppl wear as little as possible to avoid getting heat stroke
