I was 17 the year Roe passed. I was on track for a pro ballet career and couldn't go on the Pill. Getting pregnant would have killed my career plans. But, I knew an abortion was something I'd never forgive nor forget. I chose prevention hypervigilence.
@ahernandez85a@RealJamesWoods Yes. If you can agree with these criteria.
Party affiliation means $, only.
Govern with high mindedness and humility. Disallow yourself to be strapped into the Party Puppet harness. Lead from a firewalled, benevolent, selfless countenance. Are not power-hungry.
Is this you?
@paramountplus Walmart+ subscribers cannot upgrade Paramout+ subscription to include Showtime. Horns of a dilemma? Just got 6 months Walmart+ for free for having to carry separate P+ subscription. Score. Explaining what Sho is to guy in Taiwan? Priceless.

For those who have not had a close friend or family member fall prey to addiction's unrelenting claws, this (above) may make no sense. For those of us who have been dragged into that world and tried to help, this is the only thing which makes sense.
Cancer patients are coddled like the helpless infants they often become, met with sympathetic gazes, gifts, helpful inclusiveness. Addicts are disdained, ridiculed and rejected by society as a whole. Most assume addiction is a choice. Addiction is no more a choice than is cancer.
@paulinaporizkov Finding a suitable mate is difficult regardless of age, gender, social status, financial status, or mental/emotional fitnness. Relationships are challenging, often not worth the investment of precious time and effort. Yet, true love is, still, a worthy goal.
@QuickMick5@SheKnows@paulinaporizkov The ID, is wired that way in men. In women it's attracted to young beautiful well muscled men, to make pretty, strong, babies, protect them, build a house, etc. The frontal lobe is where logic overrides that archaic BS.
@RealJamesWoods Mandates for vaccinations are pretty much over. However during Covid19 heyday, the short lived spike protein antibodies effect, preventing deep lung pathogenesis, may, have helped turn the tide from exponential to hit or miss, in the most vulnerable.
@paulinaporizkov Excellently atsute: "But does being beautiful mean that you have a greater responsibility to be virtuous? By that same logic, would someone less beautiful have less responsibility to be virtuous?"
@GodlessLiz I'm always simultaneously fascinated by and deeply annoyed with these endless, completely pointless, arguments involving what was written so very long ago by bunch of narcissistic, power hungry, misogynistic, psychotic, story tellers. Let it go.
@bookclub022@paulinaporizkov@paulinaporizkov Hoping you haven't taken too much offense over the "former model" bit. The assumption that models can and must only be young does run deep in our culture. I imagine your slight perturbation is balanced by your gratitude for the exposure. π
@paulinaporizkov "Harrasement, perversely, became a confirmation of desirability".....
Thank you for this.
I've purchased your book in the Audible format. I am now certain that hearing your words, in your voice, is the best way to experience this ground breaking effort. β€
