If someone happens upon this around 7pm ET (USA - i think thats 11pm UTC) tonight (5/17) and can remind me, me and my ADHD would greatly appreciate it.
I tell every doctor "a few weeks ago" and then when they suggest a date I say yes. So every doctor has a different day lol. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me
Well considering that one woman literally pulled another woman's skirt down (not all the way) because she felt it was too short, in front of other people, and then called 911 herself, I wouldn't put it past someone in a bathroom to do worse if they "suspected" someone was trans, whether or not they actually are
Also I'm sorry for all the commas but I already did it and I don't want to edit it lol
I think there are a few problems - many private schools are religious, many parents have to work multiple jobs for their small apartment (and so can't do homeschooling), and a lot of people, at least in my area, that were homeschooled as children have religious fundamentalists for parents that completely fucked their lives educationally and socially (and so don't see homeschooling as a viable alternative)
But yeah, public education has sucked for awhile. I remember in high school they gave everyone in my grade the same final exam, but half of us studied one subject and half of us studied a different subject. So my class was royally screwed. Did I mention the test determined the teacher's pay for the following year? So the teachers were screwed also.
Yeah, I was trying to find something that didn't need water for when I'm away from a sink. Saw those tablets and thought they'd be great! Luckily I read the description.
Well she didn't meet with him...so technically she didn't lie
My guess is she was "planning" to meet with him but never told anyone (except her publisher) and ultimately "cancelled" it because she probably had no idea how to even approach getting such a meeting in the first place

Judges, at least in my area, are increasingly explicitly listing which rights are being taken and which rights remain with the individual. For example, financial concerns or driving may be directed to the guardian but the individual still has the right to get married. I would hope that voting would be one of those line items.
So if Biden's actions are impeachable, and Biden acted similarly to Trump, is Mills saying that Trump should have been convicted and removed from office during his first impeachment? 🤔🤔

Respect for Life: Parties to the Geneva Convention on Engagement with Flies (GCEF) shall respect the inherent value of all fly life and seek to minimize harm to flies whenever possible.
Proportionality: All actions taken against flies must be proportionate to the threat posed and aimed at achieving a legitimate military objective, such as protecting public health or preventing harm to humans or animals.
Article II: Rules of Engagement
Prevention and Deterrence: Parties shall take all reasonable measures to prevent fly infestations and deter flies from entering areas where they may pose a threat to human health or safety.
Non-lethal Measures: Parties shall prioritize the use of non-lethal methods for controlling flies, such as fly swatters, fly traps, and insect repellents, whenever feasible.
Minimum Force: When lethal force is necessary, parties shall use the minimum force required to neutralize the threat posed by flies, taking care to avoid collateral damage to non-combatants and civilian property.
Protection of Civilians: Parties shall take all necessary precautions to protect civilians from harm during fly control operations, including providing advance warning when possible and avoiding the use of chemical agents that may pose risks to human health.
Treatment of Captured Flies: Parties shall treat captured flies humanely and refrain from subjecting them to unnecessary suffering or cruel treatment.
Article III: Humanitarian Considerations
Medical Treatment: Parties shall provide prompt and appropriate medical treatment to individuals who have been bitten or otherwise harmed by flies, regardless of their nationality or affiliation.
Humanitarian Access: Parties shall facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance, including medical supplies and insecticides, to populations affected by fly infestations, in accordance with international humanitarian law.
Article IV: Compliance and Enforcement
Compliance: Parties to the GCEF shall comply with its provisions in good faith and take all necessary measures to ensure that their personnel understand and adhere to these rules of engagement.
Monitoring and Reporting: Parties shall establish mechanisms for monitoring compliance with the GCEF and reporting any violations or incidents of concern to the relevant authorities.
Accountability: Parties responsible for violations of the GCEF shall be held accountable for their actions and, where appropriate, provide compensation to victims for any harm caused.
Article V: Conclusion
The Geneva Convention on Engagement with Flies reaffirms the commitment of the international community to uphold humanitarian principles and protect the rights of all living beings, including flies. By adhering to these rules of engagement, parties can mitigate the impact of fly infestations while minimizing harm to both flies and humans.
Similarly, I was on a sort of diary forum and someone decided to share their very graphic life story with no warning whatsoever.
I mean I get why they shared it but it was so horrifying to know that a child went through that. I mean I know there's always the possibility it was a fake post but given what I know about confirmed cases (including someone I know personally), I believe it.
Crochet for me. It took me forever to figure out how to do it - to even get one simple stitch done. Somehow I figured it out but it's still really hard
I’m guessing it’s from dry air god me but even with humidifier I always have to blow my nose a bunch of times in the morning. Sometimes my lungs feel tight for a while after waking up. This happen to anybody else? Why does it happen for you?
Fascinating. I had assumed it was everywhere but I looked it up and it does seem pretty rare globally. It has caused illness in countries nearby you though so be careful traveling :)
