At the family barbecue my cousin’s husband kept joking that “period mood swings are just an excuse to be a bitch.” His 13-year-old daughter finally said, “Dad, when you have a kidney stone you cry and everyone brings you ice packs. When Mom has endometriosis she still packs your lunch. Sit down.” The table went quiet so fast you could hear the burgers sizzle.
BREAKING - A New York woman is going viral after being repeatedly harassed by a group of black women on the subway, only to drop the N-word on them as the subway doors closed.
Imagine what would have happened had they gotten those doors open…
🚨🇦🇺 AUSTRALIAN POLICE BUST "INTERNATIONAL SATANIC CHILD ABUSE RING," FOUR ARRESTED
Strike Force Constantine just took down a nightmare.
Four men have been arrested in Sydney over their alleged involvement in an international child abuse network that shared material depicting satanic rituals and occult symbolism.
Police say they found "thousands of videos" on seized devices showing abuse of children ranging from infants to 12 years old, as well as animals.
The alleged ringleader, a 26-year-old man, was arrested in Waterloo after police used a battering ram to enter his apartment.
Three other men, aged 46, 42, and 39, were arrested at an apartment block in Malabar.
All four were refused bail and will appear in court in January.
The investigation, launched in April, is part of a global effort after cybercrime investigators worldwide flagged a rise in satanic-themed abuse material.
Police are now combing through thousands of files to identify other members of the international syndicate.
The victims have not yet been identified.
For years, anyone who mentioned "satanic ritual abuse" was labeled a conspiracy theorist.
Now police are holding press conferences about it.
These networks exist. They're global.
And they're hiding behind encryption while trading footage of infants being tortured.
Four arrests is a start. But this is clearly just one node of something much larger.

A daughter came forward saying she felt uncomfortable and that someone in the home was watching her - but instead of being heard, she was called a liar. No child should feel unsafe or dismissed when they speak up.
I saw someone calling this cringey.
Grief is a hard thing to process and for a cancer survivor whom lost her chances to have kids and a group of people who needed the parental love, this connection, its community showing up for each other, it is a positive coping mechanism.
People think depression means your sad and crying all the time. Depression for me is being stuck in a twilight zone. i can't think , i don't respond to things , nothing is interesting , i just feel empty. not sad , just blank. I have a lot of days like this and they are hard .
