@LokiLusts4u@ask_aubry My grandmother would do sewing, laundry, and all other housework once the sun went down. Some times not stopping until 3-4am. It was her soothing time, and she even says she was most able to concentrate at that time. So the 1am edit isn't really that far fetched.
@ask_aubry So triggering! I wish we could all just swamp his inbox with actual facts about breastfeeding and resources to get him mentally assessed for his insecurities.
@ask_aubry WTF? She's had more than one child with this insecure manbaby? She's fought more than once to use her breasts for what they're actually meant for? This manbaby needs to see a therapist and never get another gf/wife until he fixes HIS issues.
@ask_aubry There is such a thing as too far w gender reveals. Use a cake or biodegradable confetti. Seriously, stop releasing balloons, stop poisoning water, and stop damaging birds to broadcast what gender your baby is. It's going to be born whatever it'll be born as regardless.
@TypicalRatBoi@IP9614113012949@skyera1n@ask_aubry You did say asexuality was a trauma response "your fiance had bad experiences as a child and doesn't want to bring any others into this world" is exactly what you said.
@TypicalRatBoi@skyera1n@ask_aubry That would be like saying other species have gay relations, but humans don't. We're still animals, we can still have animal behaviours, hence the infanticide, homicide, wars, and idiocitity that travels around. ๐
@TypicalRatBoi@skyera1n@ask_aubry Agree to disagree about what? Humans truly being born with no sex drive or not wanting sexual relations like a lot of those on the spectrum of asexuality? You can't disagree about the facts and truth presented by so many others and the science that has backed it.
@TypicalRatBoi@skyera1n@ask_aubry Uhm... Try again ratboi. We've got three kids. He just doesn't have a proper sex drive like a typical heterosexual. He's asexual hetero romantic. Like I'm bisexual biromantic. Asexuality is NOT trauma based, tho they can suffer intense trauma from it for not having "urges"
@rivercitywoman@piper4missouri Good, stick by your belief in choice, and keep your fingers OUT of other womens' choices. Not your body = not your business. And even though it STILL isn't your business, she DIDN'T have 5 abortions. She had 2 miscarriages and 3 living children.
@janeite1900 @piper4missouri That was my immediate thought too. I've had four pregnancies, three live births (but all were labelled as medical abortions/inductions resulting in live births in my charts) and one spontaneous abortion (or miscarriage).
@AndrewWrigley01 @EddieBacon9 @troonytoons Probably not porn itself. If you can't differentiate between the fantasy of on screen entertainment and your reality, that's mental illness.
@blkroisin @streetwormtv @thechosenberg Doesn't have to be on a slab unfortunately. We're on piers, and STILL get ants at the first sign of storms or if foods left out for more than a few hours, or it's going to be a hot day outside
@lizardtantrum @ask_aubry Exactly my take too. My partner sometimes gets insecure about the knowledge of my having bigger, but he's also then very mollified by the fact I'm w him, he doesn't hurt me (big hurts!) and he's also spoken about his exs to me. This dude was just too much
@mushycrouton Please don't attack, I mean this as a genuine "how do I sort my thoughts" question - If my opinion is that for marriage and for full trans transformation - wait until beyond sure and commit, and wait until adult enough to decide? I don't know how to word it better. My brain broke
Opposition to the slaughter in Gaza is becoming mainstream, which is obviously great, but when political impulses go mainstream it means there's going to be a massive and concerted effort to funnel public sentiment in a direction that doesn't damage the interests of the empire.
They're going to try to blame this all on Netanyahu.
They're going to insist that Israel itself is fine and all that went wrong was a fluke incident in which an aberrational right wing faction briefly got into power.
They're going to try to wash the western empire's hands of the mass atrocities it directly facilitated in Gaza.
They're going to try to frame Biden as a basically decent politician who found himself trapped in an impossible situation.
They're going to keep pretending a two-state solution is right around the corner and doing everything they can to stall out meaningful change on Palestinian rights, while blaming any obstacles to peace on the Palestinian resistance.
They're going to pollute the information ecosystem with a deluge of messaging which is all designed to counter the notion that Gaza means the entire status quo needs to be overhauled โ with regard to Israel-Palestine, with regard to US foreign policy, with regard to the US government itself, and with regard to the western power structure in general.
They're going to say everything they need to say to ensure that everyone understands that the basic status quo in Israel, the United States and the western world is working perfectly fine, and this was all just an innocent little oopsie poopsie caused by a few bad apples.
They'll justify, they'll excuse, they'll exonerate, and then they'll distract, moving public attention on to the next big thing and allowing the amnesia of the daily news churn to wash Gaza from our attention โ all while pretending to be on our side.
This messaging will need to be fought tooth and claw. We cannot allow them to neuter this political moment with spin and propaganda. We need to make sure their criminality remains front and center of public awareness, and we need to push for the real revolutionary changes that Gaza plainly proves are needed.
Let mainstream sentiment turn against the current Israeli regime and bring an end to the butchery in Gaza, but don't let the imperial narrative managers co-opt anything. Don't let them hijack the zeitgeist that's been building. View all words and actions of the western political-media class with aggressive skepticism, and push back forcefully every time they try to push public sentiment in a direction that advantages the empire.
@CollinRugg A 12yo stupid enough to light themselves on fire... And we're blaming another app? Remember the tide pod challenge? That was teens too. Darwinism at it's finest, it's sad that it's so young, but as the saying goes, you can't fix stupid.
@ask_aubry I spent over $1000 on pumps, specialist appointments, and other gadgets to help me with latching, constantly being told my supply wasn't enough cause she wasn't gaining (finally found it was her mouth shape/latch) and still had to move to bottles. Never shame, u just don't know
