I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind

To be clear I have never been more proud of anyone or anything

ITS EVOCATIVE! LIKE GREAT BIG HUGE BANANAS EXCEPT SHARP!

Genuinely confused as to what half of this website thinks kink means

Idk if this is a hot take but I do feel like a lot of higher support needs or just "weirder" autistic people who have a fixation on something super specific get their interests scorned and end up considering their interest kink because of that. Like someone who is drawing every character from every cartoon they've ever liked doing something super specific really might not have any sexual intent, but the outside world isn't going to take that as a possibility. They probably gain more acceptance and support tagging it vore and joining vore discords and being in a vore community that includes lots of people doing it sexually than they would if they just insisted it wasn't kink and that kink only meant sexual activity. In practice, people see that the community they are accepted in is a "kink community" and then naturally say "well kink isn't inherently sexual" because they're sincerely not sexually into the thing they're really passionate about. Honestly this same thing happens with less niche stuff like bondage where some people just fucking love ropes and want to talk about ropes and tying things and are fine with doing it on a human body because you can have some rope community that way. Their interest in doing rope stuff sexually might even come AFTER the whole rope interest thing. Like the sexual part of the ropes can be a subcategory of their broader non-sexual rope fixation. Leather is even more broad where leather clothes were fet gear, but you couldn't possibly call them inherently sexual now.

Tl;dr you can say "a nonsexual kink is just called an interest", but there are certain interests that are never ever going to be read by the average person as non-sexual. It's less work for more reward to say "I'm part of the kink community nonsexually" than to try to fight the uphill battle of getting normal people to accept your weirdo interest.

You know why.

Cause racial health disparities…

I hope this gets published

It is available for download as a pdf from their website. www.blackandbrownskin.co.uk/mindthegap

Hey, if anyone’s curious, this IS making a serious impact — this handbook was taught as standard practice for my EMT license course, as well as several other programs. A lot of new providers are being taught this as a matter of course.

I still reall need help and now Im losing my state health insurance despite me barely seeing any of my income. Please share.

a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered

you can make a little oasis right where you are, and it matters

I support the "fiction isn't real so nothing matters" mindset but tbf at a certain point it can tip over into "the curtains are just blue" territory

like yes actually there is a conversation to be had about how a characters actions are framed and how they thematically fit with the rest of the story and it can in fact reflect the author's beliefs. some authors are even trying to make a point

not all depiction is glorification but sometimes it is and you need to be able to tell the difference. not because your immortal soul will be tainted by reading The Bad One, but because you need to have reading comprehension skills

do i want to come to "the circus"? (apprehensive) describe it with two adjectives first
