@Thomasdelvasto_ As a former christian, the whole religion is soaked in discomfort w/bodies' normal functions, nudity, etc. V disembodied belief system. Dancing—a basic and ancient human tradition seen across cultures—is even outlawed in a bunch of christian sects. Physical joy is frowned upon.

I'm proud to say my 1st FREE newsletter, Palimpsest of Flesh, is launched into the world! The Corpus (essay) is about how I've linked AI face, female bodily autonomy, and trad wives to the same (inhumane) root issue. ALSO: book, pod, & watch recs! https://t.co/Da6bGSKSLJ

@zeno001 @newscientist I'm the author of this article. Trans people exist. That's not "ideology" but facts. Their bodies have immune systems that aren't studied and might be affected by the same things all our bodies are affected by.

@allie__voss I always dress nicely when I fly (and generally). But I don't care AT ALL how other people dress. Why do you care so much abt this? And NOT that the Trump admin cut the rule to force airlines to pay passengers for delays like they do in the EU & rest of civilized world?

@DrRajeshPatil20 @lsferguson He's a socialist, not a communist. My god you can't even get the most basic of facts straight.

@loggyrhythm @financedystop It's bupkis - and you don't NEED 83K when your basic needs are covered. It's exactly why I left the US. Earn a lot of money to go bankrupt anyway if you get cancer or have an accident cause the healthcare coverage is a total scam = sucker. The food is cheap bc it's crap.

@Rothmus Not a single man looks better with short hair. Not a single one.

@AllEyezOnDoe @rayhawkfam @MattWalshBlog OK, so what makes an adult male?

[Starre Julia Vartan @thecurioushuman]

@balamobi @_Saffron_Girl_ I've seen people barbequing on their driveways many times? WTF are you talking about?

[Starre Julia Vartan @thecurioushuman]

@Whoawhatthehec @FreeNortherner I'm assuming you don't have vision problems and can see that they aren't cooking the pancakes on the cement directly? I don't see how this is different than throwing maple syrup on snow or picking apples off trees or cooking marshmallows over a campfire?

[Starre Julia Vartan @thecurioushuman]

@AllEyezOnDoe @rayhawkfam @MattWalshBlog OK, so define what a man is for me.

[Starre Julia Vartan @thecurioushuman]

@rayhawkfam @MattWalshBlog These people are so damn insecure about their own gender that they hate on others who know who they are. It's really, really pathetic. And that fear of their own selves drive them to literally torture others, it's incredibly sad all around. They will eventually lose.

@MattWalshBlog My friend hid she was left-handed when she was in Catholic school because they mocked and punished her for it. Didn't change the fact that she was left-handed. Good job on bullying kids! I'm sure this will have no long term ramifications.

@Steve_Sailer @BecomingCritter Why would you assume it's race rather than some other factor like: quality of public education, which is much more directly tied to IQ? Or nutrition, which is also directly tied to IQ in studies? Or lead exposure? Toxics exposure? All the things we know are provably tied to IQ?

@AJA_Cortes Meanwhile I know a LOT of people getting constant handouts from their Boomer parents.

[Starre Julia Vartan @thecurioushuman]

@ArtemisConsort Yes. It's called having manners. There are many of us who can do this, it's not some great skill. But it's rude.

[Starre Julia Vartan @thecurioushuman]

@AriseLeviathan @Noahpinion "Men are far rougher and more severe with each other than they ever are with women." That seems like an issue men should deal with. And no, men don't have "more rights" in a country where women have to fly to other states to have an ectopic pregnancy handled properly.

@QuetzalPhoenix Lots of single moms don't date though. You're assuming that if they aren't with the dad, they are dating many "strange men" - but that's just one possibility. And making a crappy relationship the model for your kids is horrible. You just perpetuate crappy marriages that way.

@LisRey2141992 @atensnut They do in literally the entire rest of the world. I'm in Australia and eggs are kept on shelves.

[Starre Julia Vartan @thecurioushuman]

@atensnut OK, god has nothing to do w/it and you are not exposed to CL on the shell but yes, most of the rest of the world does not wash the bloom off and stores eggs on shelves, not fridges (I'm in Australia and they are just out there next to the bread). This is an American thing.
