The mixed usage of "fertility rate" and "birth rate" to imply that teenage girls having less children is damaging to overall fertility in the US sure is a choice.

There is NOT a fertility rate drop here. Only a birth rate drop. Those are very different things.

The same people who want to shame teen mothers and keep them in poverty by refusing to help them are mad those same teenagers either learned how to fuck more safely or stopped fucking.

Looking for size #40 thread options in colors other than white or beige. Not sure if they exist, honestly.

For the record, I know about Lizbeth, but their size 40 does not seem to actually be a size 40, which is just...what is the fucking point.

Anyway, any non-Lizbeth non-Golo (found out the hard way its sizing is also questionable) size #40 thread recs if you have them.

Just finished. If anyone needs me, I'll be curled in a ball and wishing something could have been done to help them. Even Jack. Maybe especially Jack.

It's a book about thinking you know how to be a person, but honestly, you're maybe sixteen at the most. You've barely started being a person, and you think if you stay "civilized" it'll fix everything. But it's also a book about what happens when one person who so clearly and desperately needs power to feel secure is good at wielding it.

And it's about all the people who get stuck in between, and how the most reasonable out of all of us can be ignored and mocked if they're not the "right sort" according to what "civilized society" determines is the right sort.

They're just scared boys who had always been told their Britishness would protect them. And, when they're found, the fucking adult authority figure scolds them for not being British enough about how they dealt with the terror and isolation and power struggles they had no idea how to manage and it became a terrible nightmare in real time because one--and it only takes one--had the ugly need to be seen as a god-like warrior.

I have more notes, but really, that's it. I knew it was all going to hell before I started reading it, but the ways it was shown in the story are going to echo in my head for a long time. The biggest one was when Jack identifies the sow who is feeding young, and rather than think, "If we leave her to feed those piglets, that's more meat for the future," he has them kill it because it's the biggest.

That's sort of the whole book in a scene. Destruction and wreckage for a present-moment's pleasure and the aftermath of not understanding how to work cooperatively.

Back then, Gale was a masculine name. It wouldn't have been seen as delicate or feminine. I was actually named after my grandfather (who was born in 1928), whose only complaint about his name was that it wasn't spelt in the regular way, and let me tell you, as someone who inherited the name, that Y is very annoying.

you know considering how tough and masculine the name Buck is and how delicate the name gale is i wonder if naming him buck during basic training was bucky protecting him

If you only treat antisemitism like a real issue when your political opponents do it I think you're an ignorant hypocrite with a small heart and an empty void where your integrity should be.

Hip update: Still some soreness overall, but that's expected while the medicine does its work. I have ass bruises from the injections, but I can sit pretty comfortably. I may not need multiple naps today.

It takes a few days for the medicine to really get in there and do its job, so basically, a week from now I'll know where I am. I feel much improved, but it would be awesome to just be pain free for awhile.

BOTCHED COUP D'ETAT LEADER YOON SUK YEOL HAS BEEN IMPEACHED CONSTITUTIONALLY AND UNANIMOUSLY, AND THE DECISION IS FINAL!!!!!🥹🥹🥹🥹🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

WE DID IT!!! WE KOREANS DID IT!!! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORDS!!! I WANT ALL INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES TO KNOW THAT WE DID IT🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵🩵💙🩵💙🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💛💛💛💛💛💙🩵💛💛💛💛

I'm nearly in tears. All the mental and physical pain and suffering that me and other Koreans have gone through waiting for his ousting has finally been paid off.

It was NEVER easy. I can't believe how many obstacles there actually were to come to this conclusion. Yoon and his cronies, his ruling far-right conservative party, and their blind supporters never gave up till the last minute. They took numerous cards in their sleeves to prevent this glorious day from happening.

Still, such is life. Life is full of chaos. Humans are just chaotic. Some are unbelievably great, while some others are just downright scumbag. That's just how it is. All we need to do is never give up going forward. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

hello all just popping on to say that if youve taken depo provera (injectable birth control) for a long period, it has now been linked with a much higher risk (5.6x base likelihood) of brain tumors than the base population and there is a lawsuit being staged against pfizer for not disclosing or investigating this risk.

“Got a patched engine, needs some slow time. Feel like bein’ a body in the right seat?” “Sure thing,” Curt says, easy. “Thought you could use one flight with no bandits comin’ your way.” Curt barks a laugh, loud and startled, and the sound of it settles warm in Gale’s belly. “Well, thanks for thinkin’ of me, Major,” he shoots back through a wide grin, clapping his nav on the shoulder as he gets up and makes his way over to Gale. “Be a nice change.”

shout outs to @redbelles for aviation help, and @handheldrope for the VERY inspiring art this week!

What's this? A summery top posted in time for you to make one yourself for the summer? It's a rare scheduling win.

This top is very cute, quick to make, and easy to adjust for those of us with bigger arms. You can get the pattern here.

What were the numbers for the prompt list thing? Is that still a thing you're doing?

I am still working on prompts! I have a file open with the last picked batch listed. I'm hoping to get back to actively writing them in the next few days.

#perpet knows.#bucky's a house dog. a lap dog.#gale is a guard dog. gale is the great pyrenees with the spikes facing out covered in blood from defending the pack.#both of them heel when curt calls#THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS IS BUCKY < GALE < CURT#masters of the air#buck(y) sandwich#he's got a choke chain for his pitbull and a shock collar for his rottweiler.#you understand.

Gale course corrects based on a "tsk." He is a VERY good boy once he understands that being good gets him rewards. Bucky is the wild pup because sometimes chasing his own tail is very distracting.

We all know Curt has a leash for Bucky, but let's be clear, he tucks two fingers into Buck's belt loops, and that bitch goes wherever he's tugged.

Oh dear looks like The Independent misspelled "Nazis" as "rebel fighters." How embarrassing. I'm sure they'll release a correction any goddamn minute so as not to try and paint literal Nazis as some sort of "doing their best" rebel group while also apologizing to Israel for implying that the Houthis are something other tahn just fucking Nazis.

They're fucking Nazis.

The reason I don't have a problem with Israel bombing Houthis is because Houthis are fucking Nazis. And all us leftists were supposed to be on the side of "not siding with Nazis."
