Don't have a dad? Have a dad, but he's awful? Well guess what, kiddo, I'm your dad, now. Here's twenty dollars and bedtime is at 8:30pm but, if you don't tell your mom, I'll let you stay up until your show is over. 👨‍👧‍👦

My boomer dad asked me last week why I'm still renting at 43.

I told him a starter home in our area is $410,000.

He said "so save up."

I said the down payment alone is $82,000.

He said "that's not so bad, break it into pieces."

I said after rent, insurance, and daycare I put away maybe $400 a month.

He did the math out loud. Got to seventeen years. Went quiet.

Then he said something I didn't expect.

"I put down $3,200 on our first place. I had it saved in eight months working at the plant."

Then he just sat there for a second.

"I always thought you kids were exaggerating."

That's it. That's the whole conversation.

He wasn't being cruel. He genuinely had no idea. Nobody ever showed him the number.

Most of them aren't defending the system. They just never looked at it.

Been a minute since I've shared more of my fursona, so here are a couple doodles.

[The Princely Type 😘💕 @Thecattydddy]

An assortment of art of my fursona, most of which feature @Terranatior's as well, since he's pretty much the only one I talk to about him 🤣🤣

recently ppl have been asking me a lot of questions about why ai is so bad for the environment if its just water and i have learned that most people think the issue is solely water related so i wanted to talk briefly here about the actual issues. hold on for me to type all this.

If you're not already paying close attention to the fight against data centers, don't sleep on it. We don't see a lot of issues with such a broad base of opposition. It's a crucial fight, and it blurs political lines more than just about anything these days.

The largest attack on black voting rights since the 1960s is unfolding in front of our eyes

Too many low paying jobs require certificates or licenses that should be trained for and free while on the job training.

Long story short: It's going to target everything the government doesn't want you to see or say.

It's going to be the same thing here in the US and your country soon, too.

"pretending" to provide care to a patient with low blood oxygen levels and trouble breathing is fraud. This young woman had every right to know she was not recieving oxygen. She could have been transferred or called an advocate. The fact she died makes this fraud a murder

Two Black lawmakers were arrested for their opposition against white state legislators eliminating Black representation in the state of Tennessee.

Absolutely insane things are happening in the year 2026.

[amadí @amadoit__]

sometimes it feels like i'm exhausting the superlatives and doomsday rhetoric. then at the same time it feels like these things aren't being said nearly enough.

this is beyond dystopian. and it's not some worry for the future, it's happening now.

[Layla in Gaza @It_is_layla7]

IF U SEE THIS #ART , PLS SHARE!

ONE WEEK to start treating patients at my uni in Gaza! I’m waiving all fees for them, but between tuition & dental supplies, the bills r adding up.
A little help could cover the basics so I can keep fixing smiles✨️🦷

This dude is such an evil piece of shit.

SSRIs are the only things that actually helped my OCD diagnosis and related panic attacks.

This would kill people. He is a monster.

[bug girl @buggirl]

calling things that help keep normal people alive “entitlements” while they hold the earth hostage, lighting it on fire after extracting every drop of perceived value from it and its resources. it’s unbelievable that we’re letting these parasites live for so long

Chelsea Perkins murdered the man who raped her.

She pled guilty and took full responsibility.

She was given 22.5 years in prison.

Jesse Mack Butler raped and strangled two children. One sustained such severe neck injuries she almost died.

He got community service.

Grow up watching your parents fight, and by age 12 your brain looks like a soldier's coming home from war. The same alarm circuits keep firing whenever someone gets angry near you. None of these kids were diagnosed with anything. Their brains had already changed.

Scientists at University College London scanned 43 kids in 2011. Twenty had documented family violence at home. When the researchers showed them photos of angry faces, the danger-detection parts of their brains fired exactly like they do in combat soldiers. The kids' brains had quietly learned, before they could put it into words, that anger means danger and danger can come from anywhere in the room.

That study was about violence. But Martin Teicher's lab at Harvard's McLean Hospital has spent decades showing yelling alone does similar damage. Verbal abuse from parents physically changes the parts of the brain that handle language and sound. The long-term hit on adult mental health is about the same as being hit, or watching one of your parents get hit.

And this is common. In 2024, UNICEF estimated 400 million kids under 5, about 6 in 10 globally, regularly face violent discipline at home: yelling, hitting, or both. In a Portuguese study of more than 5,000 ten-year-olds, 57.7% reported a household member regularly shouting or yelling at them. It was the single most common bad thing in their lives.

Teicher's team also found that the brain's memory and stress center physically shrinks by about 6% in young adults who were maltreated as kids. Vietnam combat veterans with chronic PTSD show roughly the same drop, about 8%, in the same area.

The damage doesn't stay in the lab. The CDC's most recent youth survey linked 89% of teen suicide attempts and 85% of teen suicidal thoughts to bad experiences before age 18.

But the same brain that absorbs fear can absorb safety. Romanian orphans moved into stable foster homes recovered real ground. Across decades, Teicher's research has shown that warm, predictable parenting physically builds up the part of the brain that helps a kid stay calm, and quiets the alarm system over time.

A child remembers the fights. They also remember who came back to fix things afterward. Both leave a mark.
