I was actually going to say microwaves, but specifically the thing where people use the parts to make those things where you can burn fractals into wood. They look super cool but apparently if you brush up against the wrong component your heart just stops.

I was in a shitty relationship with the brother of my shityy ex best friend. We all lived together for several years and the short version is

  • she made most of the money

  • I contributed what I could while working more hours at a worse job for the first couple years then working while in school for the rest. My parents were also contributing funds.

  • he was completely jobless pretty much the entire time

  • they both constantly complained at me for not doing most or all of the housework and when I would breakdown from it they would mock my mental illness

When things finally all went south I picked a fight with her as she moved out over a small sentimental item I knew she would be too stubborn to not fight back over and got him to fight with her over it until they blew up at each other then cheated on him with a guy who honestly just kinda moved in and steadily started taking care of me (did I mention I was working in a hospital while in nursing school all through 2020 while supporting my leech of an ex?)

This other guy started doing my laundry and cooking for me while my ex just ...kept playing video games. Later my ex was like "I did notice that you stopped fighting with me about chores" yeah that was you getting replaced by an upgrade dipshit. He says I traumatized him. I hope so. I hope he never does any of that to anyone else ever again.

Still with the other guy. He's a mess too but not nearly as much and in a lot of the same ways as me and he's never not had a job and oh also I've never had to threaten to bathe him by force.

Well clearly Mr. Sanders (of all people) is an antisemite.

It should be enough that if you're not kid friendly say so plainly and don't make it easy for them to get in / stay in if they get caught. If you as a parent don't take any initiative from there to keep your kids away from those places that's on you.

Gym doesn't help the weight issue. You gain weight in the gym, you lose it in the kitchen.

I've been casting a hexagram a day and using ifate's simplified modern translation as image prompts. This one came out particularly interesting, but I've got some others here.

I've gotten really into esoteric spirituality lately, and I've been thinking about telling some stories from tarot readings then turning those into images if you all are interested.

If you're as disabled as you say and either you have documentation (such as state benefits) or it's just obvious I would try APS (adult protective services) over the cops. Things will move faster and more effectively if you do some of the legwork (hypothetically speaking) for them ahead of time.

  1. Get in touch with the family that might take you in. Try to find three options who confirm they will take you. Write down or keep in a Google doc or whatever their: full names, phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses. The number one thing I see holding up cases like yours is housing, and if you have all those details worked out ahead of time a caseworker can do a lot more for you a lot faster. A lot of the time our psych social workers can get someone a uber / lyft or bus ticket easily enough, the problem is figuring out where they're going. If you have the contact info of someone they can call right there and then who has already agreed to take you, you are a slam dunk open and shut case. Get three so you have backups.

  2. Arrange for a ride locally such as a friend or acquaintance or literally anyone else who has a car and is willing to help you for 24-48 hours. This should not be hard to talk someone into. Many people want to help a person like you but don't have the resources to house someone for weeks or months. For this acquantaince you are an easy way to help and feel good about themselves. Use that. Tell them to wait for you to contact them. Again, try to get three options set up so you have two failsafes.

  3. AFTER you've done that, call your local APS (adult protective services) or file a report online. Do whatever you can to keep your family from knowing you called because it might take a few hours up to maybe even a day or two for them to get to you and you don't want your family tipped off in the meantime. Tell them you're being held by your family and kept from accessing your legal identifying documents like your birth certificate. If you get state benefits your documentation or papers regularly mailed to you may also have a compliance / abuse reporting hotline number somewhere on it. You could also try a crisis hotline through an organization that does community outreach. Tell them they have abused you in the past and you are in fear for your life. Tell them you HAVE A PLACE TO GO you just need help getting your documents. Again, you are easy to help in this situation, they don't need to worry about setting you up with benefits or housing or anything, just transport maybe. This is what the numbers and addresses are for, they may want to confirm you have somewhere to go and even have options. Just play up the danger and that they're keeping you from your documents. If you get an asshole worker wait six hours and try again (change of shift) or try calling a different agency or the next town over. You may also be able to find other places to call or worst case scenario call 911.

  4. The SECOND they show up and if they're able to get you those documents, get the hell out to that person who's helping you locally and block your family and do not tell or hint or give them any other indication of where you're going. Don't even tell the person giving you a ride if you think it will get back to them. If necessary tell them an entirely different final destination and just get them to get you to the airport / bus terminal and get out.

  5. while you're waiting, get all your medications, medical equipment / supplies, any valuables or sentimental items, and 3-5 changes of clothes all in the same area of the house. Make sure to pack sentimental clothing but especially pack accessible clothing that's easy for you to dress yourself with. Get them into a bag if you think you can do so discreetly, but a box or even just a pile in an out of the way corner is fine. If you have any special skin safe shampoo or other non-medicine but important toiletries stash them too or just make sure they're all in the same place in the bathroom. Get everything into 1-3 discreet / hidden piles so you just need to throw them in a trash bag and go. If there's any valuables you think your family will try to dispute ownership of, try to get any receipts or photos of you wearing or using them or texts from someone who bought them for you or whatever else you can find and put them in a Google drive folder or email to yourself. Worst case scenario though, be willing to leave some things behind if you have to.

Good luck and godspeed. :)

Look at men's bodies! They have prostates capable of being stimulated to climax. God designed men for the magnificent job of bottoming and what could be more beautiful than a man orgasming while getting railed up the ass?

Also happened in 2017 when the same supplier's facility in Puerto Rico got hit (the US's primary IV / dialysis fluid supplier). They already knew this was an issue and never actually fixed it. IV fluids are one of the most basic medical supplies. And if I'm hearing correctly a lot of hospitals aren't rescheduling elective surgeries (and some electives are necessary / time limited but many aren't or are even cosmetic). Completely preventable problem that could be being managed better even now it's happened.

They're dishwasher safe! (At least so far) I throw the caps in the utensil basket.

Shameless clone of one of my favorite Facebook groups for real science diagrams and infographics that just look fucking silly.
