When I was training to be a battered womenâs advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:
âYou can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if theyâre having a day where their best just isnât that great, or their best doesnât look like your best, you have to be okay with that.â
Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isnât that great today, but I have days where my best isnât that great either.Â
Op Iâd like to thank you for sharing this. Ever since the first time Iâve read it Iâve held it in my mind and it really has helped me to be kinder to others and to myself.
The claim is not new â the Miami Herald published its findings in summer 2025.
source for the congresswoman thing as well, because i hadn't heard about that:
The Trump administration has repeatedly attempted to restrict or thwart congressmembersâ access to ICE jails.

A non-paywall version of an April update about how her shit dem colleagues are failing to stand with her
The infection, caused by the fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes type VII (TMvii), spreads through intimate contact and has predominantly been seen among men who have sex with men. It causes painful, coin-sized rashes on the arms, buttocks, trunk, legs, and genitals. While infections can be treated with oral antifungal medications, treatment can take several weeks, making fast detection of the uncommon infection critical.Â
âTMvii can resemble other skin conditions or sexually transmitted infections, so proper evaluation is important,â says Tom Carpino, Ph.D., the Hock postdoctoral research fellow at DGHI, who has studied the public health challenges of emerging STIs such as mpox. âThe lack of awareness among the highest risk individuals and communities, combined with the lack of wide-scale testing and reporting from clinics, are ingredients for a very serious epidemic to go under the radar.â
go to settings > dashboard > interface and turn on show timestamps. please. do this for me i'm begging
i'm so serious about this. without timestamps you don't know when a post was originally made. every day on this website i see people reblogging years-old articles, freaking out like something is recent news. i see people getting slammed for shit they long apologized for that's getting dragged out as if it just happened. old outdated science and history posts, recall warnings from five years ago, politics discussions that make no sense now.
this isn't just an issue with tumblr's settings, although the fact that timestamps are opt-in is fucking bonkers. people do not read dates on posts, on articles, on anything, and behave as if everything they see on the internet, now over 30 years old, is brand new and currently relevant. look at dates! remember that things from 2022 are not as relevant as they might appear to be! stop mindlessly repeating things you don't even pay enough attention to to know when they happened!
this is the only post of mine i've ever actually wanted to blow up please use your big beautiful brains to actually know when something happened

Whenever people generally talk about drug addicts they seem to like totally miss that theyâre talking about someone with a medical condition.
Yeah maybe some people do bad things because of their drug addiction but plenty of people do plenty of bad things in the name of the bad circumstances of their lives. It doesnât make their actions right but it also doesnât make them worse than a sober person smashing something because theyâre extremely stressed or stealing or attacking because theyâre extremely angry.
And sometimes yes a drug addictâs condition is their own fault. But so are lots of medical issues. Should a person not be given a cast for their broken leg because they shouldnât have been climbing that tree? Should a doctor just let someone die of a stroke because they shouldnât have been eating that much salt?
No, thatâs rediculous. And yet thatâs how a lot of people want to treat drug addicts.
If youâre addicted to something you deserve the same amount of support, care, and sympathy as a person with any other chronic condition. You deserve healthcare. You deserve to be treated with dignity. Divorced from your other actions or flaws or strengths as a person. You deserve to live well and be as healthy as you can be with your condition. Whether you want to stop being addicted or not.
Meta contractors in Kenya told two Swedish newspapers that they're being told to review highly sensitive footage recorded by smart glasses.
Much of the footage being recorded by the glasses is being sent to offshore contractors for data labeling, a widely-used preprocessing step in training new AI models in which human contractors are asked to review and annotate footage. Itâs a laborious and highly resource-intensive process that tech companies often gloss over when discussing the prowess of their latest AI models. The reality can be messy. Meta contractors based in Nairobi, Kenya, told Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and GĂśteborgs-Posten in a recently published joint investigation that theyâre being told to review highly sensitive and intimate data. âIn some videos you can see someone going to the toilet, or getting undressed,â one contractor for a company called Sama said. âI donât think they know, because if they knew they wouldnât be recording.â âI saw a video where a man puts the glasses on the bedside table and leaves the room,â one data annotator told the newspapers. âShortly afterwards his wife comes in and changes her clothes.â Other footage included imagery of peopleâs bank cards, users watching porn, or even filming entire âsex scenes.â An employee added that they felt forced to watch and annotate or else risk losing their job. âYou understand that it is someoneâs private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work,â the employee said. âYou are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.â

That post explaining the details of the so-called supermajority⌠What I immediately think when someone brings up the âwhy didnât Democrats codify Roe when they had the chance?â thing is that that person has no political memory of that moment in time. They have no idea what theyâre talking about.
The fight to pass the ACA was all consuming. There was no air for anything else. It was messy and long. I mean, the death panels tangent alone was, what, two, three months? And we were always on the edge of it not happening and everyone knew it.
I guess it wonât help these people who donât have any actual memory of the time to say this, but codifying Roe wasnât even on the table. It wasnât on a table in a room three buildings over. Everything was ACA.
And then we passed the most consequential health care legislation in multiple generations, the country immediately punished Democrats over it, Republicans have been picking away at it ever since, and the people who benefit daily from that law donât even know it, but do complain that they didnât get more when they almost got nothing.
Half of America's politics for the last thirty years has just been one long cycle of "How dare the Democrats not do thing we didn't give them the votes to do? Both sides are the same! I'm not going to vote Democrat! Now, why aren't the Democrats doing more?"

Moths in Disguise: these are all just harmless moths that have developed the ability to mimic wasps, bees, and/or hornets
Top Row (left to right): Eusphecia pimplaeformis and Myrmecopsis polistes; Bottom Row: Pennisetia marginatum
Moths are exceptionally skilled when it comes to mimicry, and there are hundreds of moth species that rely on that tactic as a way to protect themselves from predators. Their disguises are numerous and varied, but hymenopteran mimicry is particularly common, especially among the moths that belong to subfamily Sesiidae and family Arctiinae.
Yellowjacket-Mimicking Moths: Pseudosphex sp. (top and bottom left) and Myrmecopsis polistes (bottom right)
Some of their disguises involve more than just a physical resemblance -- there are some moths that also engage in behavioral and/or acoustic mimicry, meaning that they can imitate the specific sounds and behaviors of their hymenopteran models. In some cases, these moths are so convincing that they can even fool the actual wasps/bees that they are mimicking.
Such a detailed and intricate disguise is unusual even among mimics, and researchers believe that it developed partly as a way to trick the wasps into treating the mimic like one of their own. Wasps tend to prey upon moths (and many other insects), but they are innately non-aggressive toward their own nest-mates, which are identified by sight -- so if the moth can convincingly impersonate its model, then it can avoid being eaten by predatory wasps.
Wasp-Mimicking Moths: Pseudosphex ichneumonea (top), Myrmecopsis sp. (bottom left), and Pseudosphex sp. (bottom right)
There are many moths that can also mimic hornets, bumblebees, and carpenter bees.
Hornet-Mimicking Moths: Eusphecia pimplaeformis (top left), Sesia apiformis (bottom left), Paranthrene simulans (top right), Pennisetia marginatum (middle right), and Sphecodoptera scribai (bottom left)
Bumblebee-Mimicking Moths: Hemaris tityus (top and bottom left) and Hemaris affinis (bottom right)
Moths are some of the most talented mimics in the natural world, as illustrated by their mastery of hymenopteran mimicry. But it's not just bees, hornets, and wasps -- there are many other forms of mimicry that can be found among moths, and the resemblance is often staggering.
Moths deserve far more credit than they receive, to be honest, because they are so incredibly interesting/diverse.

LGBTQ+ rights still have a long way to go in the country, but advocates praised the change as a signal of more to come.
Molly Sprayregen (She/Her) at LGBTQ Nation:
The South Korean census will allow same-sex couples to identify themselves as spouses for the first time in a move LGBTQ+ activists have praised as a significant step toward equality. The census is conducted every five years in the country and kicked off this week, with the Ministry of Data and Statistics reportedly confirming that committed same-sex couples can now check âspouseâ or âcohabiting partner.â In the past, doing so would cause a form to be rejected or marked with an error, The Straits Times explained.
While homosexuality is not criminalized in the country, same-sex marriage remains illegal. There are also no anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination protections, and according to Equaldex, only 23% of the public fully supports LGBTQ+ people being open about who they are. Despite South Koreaâs portrayal in its global entertainment industry as modern and gay-friendly, the country has long tolerated LGBTQ+ discrimination and, in a 2020 report, was ranked among the least gay-inclusive countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The absence of progress can be traced to lobbying efforts by The United Christian Churches of Korea and other church associations, and to very public hate campaigns by loosely affiliated groups like Anti-Homosexuality Christian Solidarity, who have deep-rooted connections to the countryâs political class. Efforts to pass a broad anti-discrimination law through the legislature have failed many times, but hope was renewed last year when the countryâs liberal party took a majority of seats in the legislature.
This is a big step for LGBTQ+ rights in South Korea, which is very meager in that category (even compared to Japan).
âThatâs why itâs hard to make friends when youâre older,â she said. âFriendship is rude.â
Her friendâs eyes widened. âWhat?â
âThink about it! When weâre kids we decide who we like and stick by them no matter what. As adults, weâre taught to be polite.
But, friendship is an impositionâ at least, I want it to be. Call me after nine oâclock. Donât think youâll ever wear out your welcome. Overshare, show up at my door, go to the grocery store with me so we can waste another hour chatting.
Weâll never be friends if we spend all of our energy trying not to bother each other.â
hate to break this to you but if you call yourself self aware but you are only aware of your faults and never acknowledge your strengths you are not self aware. you just repackaged your self hatred
Self aware means the whole self.
You are more than your faults.
You are more than your sins.
You are more.
ok so like. number 7 is true but what if ur driving a car or maybe a spaceship

if you're in the throes of cosmic despair i cannot recommend museums enough. art or science or history it doesn't matter. oh we're all connected, all of us and everything, throughout all time and space, and no one, no one, no one is alone? awesome. that's what i thought i just wanted to make sure.
If you are in th USA and on SNAP and can't afford museum prices, check out Museums For All, which offers free or reduced admission to a LOT of museums, zoos, etc. to families on SNAP.
PLEASE use this service. People using it helps make sure funding for it remains available!
It reduced our cost getting into our local INCREDIBLE art museum from $30 to $1. We still had to pay for the special traveling exhibit, but the reduced price meant we COULD see the traveling exhibit!!!
And spread this link as often as you can. Email it to friends on SNAP right now. It is so important that lower income people get to see things like animals and art, too. It should not be limited to the rich. Thanks to this program, in many places, it isn't.
Go! Go go go!
anti-fatness is not just body shaming.
anti-fatness is discrimination. anti-fatness is having next to no legal protections for being discriminated against. anti-fatness is being denied housing, jobs, receiving less pay and promotions (legally) because of your size. anti-fatness is being denied access to clothing, seating, transportation, and other human rights because infrastructure has been designed to exclude you. anti-fatness is less likelihood of receiving a fair trial. anti-fatness is dehumanization. anti-fatness is being denied necessary surgeries, but not surgery that amputates the digestive tract with the intent to starve and shrink you (it doesnât work either). anti-fatness is mutilation. anti-fatness is being subject to torture devices that bolt your mouth shut. anti-fatness is being told by close friends, family, and professionals that you are better off living with an eating disorder or other life-threatening illness. anti-fatness sells you starvation as a guaranteed opt-out of oppression, but doesnât tell you that bodies will always regain weight to survive. anti-fatness blames and punishes you for failing at an achievement that is quite literally impossible. anti-fatness is a $90 billion dollar industry. anti-fatness is being denied gender-affirming care. anti-fatness is being barred from in vitro fertilization and reproductive healthcare. anti-fatness is being barred from adopting children. anti-fatness is being removed from your loving parents because they couldnât make you thin. anti-fatness is intentionally starving your own baby so they wonât get fat. anti-fatness is disproportionately high suicide rates. anti-fatness is being killed at the hands of medical neglect and mistreatment. anti-fatness is the world preferring a dead body over a fat one.
reblogging this again because so many people still do not realize that fat liberation is deeply political. fat liberation is not body positivity. it is not about loving yourself or being non-judgemental. it is about THIS. đ
It isn't about self-esteem. It's about survival.
