this is just basic psychological self defense.
ads - not all ads, but many ads - want to make you FEEL BAD.
they want to create in you a feeling of loss, a feeling of absence, that they can promise to fill with their product.
don’t let them! turn that shit off the moment it comes on.

When you are raised to believe that God is love, and that God ALSO damns most people to an eternity of torture in hell, you develop a warped sense of “love.”
If you love someone, of course you try to save them from eternal suffering, no matter how offensive they find your proselytizing.

Thread. This is a crucial thing for non-Christian Americans to understand. Most Christian Nationalists think it’s an act of kindness on their part to tell you that you will be going to hell if you don’t convert. It’s incomprehensible to most of them that they’re being bigots.
I'm going to tell my favorite story again about reflecting the certainty of beliefs back at people who don't expect it.
A friend was one of the few Jews on faculty at a North Dakota University. Every year, his colleague in religious studies would invite him to come to his religious studies class...

The way to tell the difference between someone with genuine convictions and someone who yearns for power is to see how long it takes them to reach for power.

Ableism makes you think you will be the exception.
Disability won’t happen to you.
You’re “better than that”.
You’re “stronger”.
You will succeed where the rest of us failed.
It’s not true. Disability can & does happen to almost everyone.
It’s not a moral failing.

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.
