pickling in the bog, mistaken for a log.

if I remember correctly, there is a mushroom that may be responsible for ALS clusters and another mushroom that can cause you to be depressed for up to 6 months. why do mycotoxins behave like magical curses?

I’m disabled and it pisses me off so much when people use termination for medical reasons in the case of fetuses with non-fatal congenital conditions as a reason that abortion is evil and pregnant people shouldn’t be allowed to decide to end a pregnancy. I would not damn a dog to be dependent on the American medical system, much less a human being for the next 75+ years. Do not talk to me about eugenics until the mentally ill and physically disabled stop freezing to death on the street and dying of treatable illnesses because they can’t afford a caretaker OR their medication OR stable housing. If someone wants to terminate a pregnancy before that fetus becomes a living, kicking, screaming, breathing baby, you cannot compare that to the fucking vile things that happen to actual living disabled people in our society every fucking day. There are actual disabled people begging for help and you’re ignoring them to pretend like you give a fuck about unborn disabled “babies”.

And it's always from the people who are complacent with or accepting of the vile things disabled people experience!

These people see disabled people like pets. They imagine a dimensionless caricature of a child born with a disability who is happy and loving and sweet, that is who they imagine when they hear about TMFR. No inconvenient opinions, no concerns, no pain. They do not see disabled adults being given little to no agency and no support. They do not see disabled people as complex human beings with complex points of view and complex challenges and complex lives.

I don’t have kids cuz I can barely take care of myself

The manosphere & incel view on standards for women is so wild. Dudes will complain that they cannot get laid and then say that they only want a woman who is 10+ years younger than them, attractive, fit, willing to go 50/50 on everything financially, willing to submit to him as the greatest authority and also a virgin who has never kissed anyone. And then they complain about not being able to find a worthy wife or even a hookup while refusing to lower their standards even a little. The thought of dating women in their own age group and league (women who would be ‘equally yoked’ to borrow a biblical term since they love misusing the Bible) never occurs to them because they would find the female version of themselves disgusting, just as disgusting as the well-adjusted 20 somethings they go after find them.

They’re on Reddit saying texting “hi” is low iq and gives people the ick and that’s why they got ghosted. They don’t let u say hi no more….. we’re in a loneliness epidemic bc everybody is a weirdo about every little thing im cracking up

If you say "hi" and that's it you sound like you don't give a shit. Why would I want to talk to someone who won't even introduce themselves properly? Make an effort or suffer your loneliness epidemic.

You people are crazy . You’re just crazy. This isn’t a normal world anymore

It's poor netiquette. If someone sent you a letter in the mailbox that just said "hi" would that not drive you insane?

I would send hello ^.^ back ….. and feel warm inside
