Saw a young woman walking down the street and thought, 'Dear god, she's forgotten to put on a shirt'. She was basically wearing a jacket over a bra. How was she not cold???

a hoe never gets cold

TBH I envy women confident enough to dress like that. I've always wished I could build up the courage to do so. Some bras are cute I want to show them off.

I found a guy on Tumblr, who is a convert to Judaism... sort of? As far as I can tell, he has some Jewish family, but wasn't raised Jewish, and now he's gotten really into being Jewish, though I don't think he's done any official conversion thing. Maybe he doesn't need to because of the Jewish ancestry, idk how that works exactly.

But my first thought, after reading his blog, is that if Jewish people weren't subjected to anti-Semitism, and therefore considered an oppressed group on Tumblr, there's no way he'd be into being Jewish.

I don't assume this about Jewish (or any other religion's) converts in general. But this particular guy has built his whole persona around being oppressed and being an outcast, and I get the feeling that that is the main thing that appeals to him about Judaism. :/

Religion is usually matriarchal from what I know, which is why despite my father being Jewish, my brother and I are Lutheran because our mother is.

So if his mom isn't, and he hasn't actually converted...

'if X people weren't subjected to anti-X, and therefore considered an oppressed group on Tumblr, there's no way they'd be into being X'

is a thought I have often.

I suspect his decision/attitude is pretty common among people who are just "outside" of any group they have some kind of connection to. It's possible he enjoys the label of "oppressed" but it's also possible he wants to be proud of being something at all.

Of course, I'm just speaking as a half-breed who was never included in the things involving either side of my heritage, so maybe I'm being more charitable here than I ought to be.

If you have a physical or mental health problem and you have access to treatment but just choose not to get it or have ideas that drugs are a conspiracy and don't work, I don't want you to complain that you still have the problem and it's ruining your life.

I would give two legs and an arm to have your life you ungrateful toads.

I’m sorry you aren’t getting the care you need; I hope some day you can. (hugs)

I theoretically have access to (mental health) treatment, but I gave up after my initial assessment appointment. They told me to call in a month when appointments for the next three months would open up. I called at the time on the date they told me to, and everything was booked.

They told me to try again in three months and sent me to a support group that met early Saturday mornings. Weekend transit sucks here; I went once and it was 2.5 hours each way by bus. Waking up at 5 am on my day off to re-traumatize myself every weekend wasn’t my idea of a good time. Since I wasn’t suicidal and was holding down a job (both still true, phew) I couldn’t get an appointment any sooner. By the time four months rolled around, I was doing better than I had right after my mom died and never called to try for an appointment again.

I’d be willing to go to group sessions if they were closer, or later in the day, but not if I can only see a therapist one on one once or twice a year if I luck out when I call. Group anything is stressful for me and honestly I think therapy in general is stressful for most people; without one on one therapy to go with group I felt like a struggling student in a lecture class whose professor never had office hours.

It’s great that a lot of people have access to mental health care that didn’t used to, thanks to Obamacare/Medicaid expansion, but it seems like the number of therapists hasn’t increased as fast as the number of patients, so they (rightfully) deal with people having urgent crises before people who need less immediate mental stuff dealt with. I don’t begrudge people crisis intervention, I’ve needed it before and couldn’t get it and am lucky to be alive. But it would be nice to have professional help organizing my brain baggage.

Sometimes I think it should be illegal for anyone under 20 to use the internet.

I could say that for a lot of folks over 60 as well, but it wouldn't be fair to punish the sane ones in the group, would it?

It should certainly be illegal for anyone under 10 outside of library settings, for multiple reasons relating to mental (being ill-equipped to process and sort vast swaths pf information) and physical health (hand and eye development). There's something seriously messed up about giving young children smart phones too.

I will not be lectured on environmental matters by anyone who has more than two biological children.

What if they wanted one, but had triplets?

da

Well, that is still over the mentioned limit. Intent of the parents doesn't really mean anything.

ayrt LOL I'd feel sorry for them. But they'd get a pass from me. Surprise!triplets - or more - is sheer bad luck.

If you hate your job and are always complaining about how much you hate your job and how awful it is but then you never take any steps to try to get a new job, shut the fuck up and stop whining.

Brought to you by someone I know who complains non-stop about how terrible and unfair their job is but then can't be assed to apply to any other jobs to try to get away from it.

I have a family member who never pulls their weight, only ever contributes to problems, has horrible hygiene, and lacks empathy for others.

I wish we weren't related every single day. I think I'd be glad if they died.

Honestly, I have that same thought about someone I share blood with, minus the horrible hygiene. (They go out of their way to pretend they're so clean and pure, right up to their appearance. Not that caring about your appearance is a bad thing, but it seems weird when they're so careless with everything else.) They're only nice to people they can't control, take zero control over their own lives while expecting the people they abuse to manage the abuser's issues. I have zero interest in revenge or outing them to the world, but they can't die fast enough for me (if only to stop their lame fake-ass attempts to break no-contact). Which sounds horrible, but I don't need a reminder that they exist.
