These are a couple of the photos from the pre-execution photoshoot Tangaraju posed for. He hadn’t wanted to do it at first but a loved one had wanted to have more recent photos of him.

Rest in Power, Appu.

@Videominivan True! Extremely critical perspective and the irony.

Oh Ross

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Ross makes a list of Rachel’s pros and cons including: she is ditzy, too obsessed with her looks, and ‘just a waitress.’ He thinks apologizing means calling into a local radio show to dedicate a song to her. Later, he wants Rachel to quit her new job because she has an attractive coworker. He calls her to apologize about his jealousy, hears that her co-worker is at Rachel’s apartment, and decides to sleep with another woman because of it. His controlling and insulting behavior is seen as endearing and charming— rather than a red flag, reflecting his deep insecurities.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

Trauma doesn't only f*ck w/ long-term memory or memories adjacent to the trauma. LOTS of survivors find their short-term memory, concentration, & executive functioning take a hit, too.

Trauma tries to kick the sh*t out of every domain of functioning it can get its claws into.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

I've been addicted to substances & behaviors, & I can tell you: people pleasing & seeking validation is among the hardest emotional addictions to quit.

That fantasy that others' approval or love will make everything okay is more intoxicating than any drug.

IYKYK.

அவ்வீட்டு வாசலை தாண்டும்பொழுது
காம வெறியர்களை கேட்க்கவில்லை பெண்;
பாதுகாப்பு கேட்க்கிறாள்.
பாலியல் குற்றவா��ிகளை அடையாளம் காட்டும்பொழுது அவதூரு கேட்க்கவில்லை பெண்;
நியாய��் கேட்கிறாள்.

I can’t get over how he speaks about women’s lib and safety. The gall.

[National Right to Housing Network @R2HNetwork]

Women & gender-diverse ppl—esp within Indigenous communities—are disproportionately impacted by hidden homelessness.

This #IWD2023, join our Network & partners across Canada to call on the fed govt to create a gender-inclusive definition of homelessness➡️

[Centre for Suicide Prevention @cspyyc]

A person with thoughts of suicide can call their identified support people to let them know when their thoughts are becoming more intense, signaling that they need support. https://t.co/0qBujBG2Kn

[Cajaani Velautham @CajaaniVel]

Happy IWD! I am reminded of the strength and the resiliency of these bold and unapologetic women who are not afraid to take up space! Embracing equality begins with equity and it begins in the home and continues in every space that women and gender-diverse folx navigate.

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.

They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.

Don't let them fool you.

@chummasiri Unpopular opinion indeed! Surya is still a better actor and way hotter than Karthi.
