Oh, don’t worry, that’s only in urban schools.

(hint: urban is a dogwhistle for Black)

Wow, the PO Box analogy is the best, most simple way I’ve ever seen anyone explain 2FA. Thanks, I’m stealing that for when I need to explain it to my tech-illiterate family members for the umpteen millionth time :')

Definitely not more expensive here. We just had to replace ours on a budget and the affordable ones were all gas, over $150 less than the electric ones. Would’ve loved an electric one instead but it was a no go this time.

Barefoot shoes for life! I have switched entirely to barefoot shoes - or at least, foot-shaped and zero drop, even if the sole is thicker - and my feet have never been happier.

Some of my favorite brands:

LEMS - good hiking shoes. Nice wide toe box, decently lightweight, don’t look too goofy.

Peerko - good all-around. Lots of looks, some casual, some nicer. Definitely avoiding the crunchy outdoor hobo and/or silly clown shoes look.

Designed by Anya - Anya was a barefoot enthusiast who eventually made her own line, with loafers and boots. Cute and comfy femme barefoot shoes.

Vivobarefoot - used to be a little on the crunchy outdoor hobo side, but some of their more recent looks have stepped up their game nicely. I really like their loafers.

You are falling for conservative lies. You are regurgitating them to the detriment of those around you. Stop it. You are being either exceedingly ignorant or willfully harmful.

To spell out the reality of the situation: The North Carolina institutions are not providing surgeries or hormone therapy to prepubescent children, nor is this standard practice in any part of the country.

At most, prepubescent children transition socially and may receive puberty blockers to ease or prevent serious psychological distress associated with dysphoria, after thorough questioning and therapy. No doctor would ever give a 6 year old AFAB child testosterone, nor estrogen to AMAB. Nor are children being given puberty blockers willy-nilly. It is so fucksake difficult for even adults to be approved for gender diverse care, and you’re out here trying to claim that children are being indoctrinated to think they’re trans and given hormones for, what, fucking fun? Like, holy shit, that’s absolutely unhinged and I cannot possibly believe you are acting in good faith in spreading this complete pile of shit.

Aerial arts! I started taking lyra classes about two years ago and aerials have become my main AuDHD special interest. I spend probably a quarter of my day doing, watching or thinking about it and am perfectly happy to talk it up to anyone and everyone in an attempt to get them doing it too. Spinning and/or being upside down has become my happy place :)

Mom & Pop is a(n American?) colloquialism referring to small, frequently family-owned-and-operated businesses. They may not be as likely to use shady ‘I can’t believe it’s not slave labor’ practices, but they frequently have other, very glaring issues such as shitty pay, treating you like an outsider if you’re not family, and covering up the bad behavior of anyone who is.

I mean, there’s support and then there’s enabling. Not all things that ND people do are good, either for them or those around them. We as a community don’t act like it’s ok for Autistic people to go around grabbing women’s tits “cause they don’t understand social conventions” (though I’ve absolutely come across this argument before, which infuriated me), why would we act like it’s ok for NPD people to manipulate and emotionally abuse those around them “cause it’s just the way they are”? The goal is to support them in a way that limits harm: both the harm that comes to them from outside, and the harm they can do to others.

Because I can’t get my husband to take his shoes off right when he comes inside after 13 years together, so I’ve given up and just started wearing shoes inside myself 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m pretty sure they know it’s a band name, given that they said “radioactive” dragons and Radioactive is ID’s biggest hit ;)

Yep. I’m on immunosuppressive medication so gimme gimme - I’ve managed to only get one very mild case of covid so far and even that was fucking miserable. Do not want, please give more vaccine.

Oh hey! I used to read TDP a lot back in the 2010s. Nice to see you’re still active!

Yeah if I’m gonna get digital-carded to play a video game like I get regular-carded for booze at 34, I will absolutely just start pirating everything.
