  • You can think of it like nepotism in the DNC. Bernie was the more electable candidate. The candidate the liberals and the left preferred. They went with Hillary anyway and they underestimated Trump’s electability in the actual presidential race. Essentially giving Trump the presidency in 2016.

    You can watch all of their surprised Pikachu faces during Hillary’s concession speech. They had a huge glass ceiling they were going to shatter all of this stuff. And it all fizzled out.



  • Excellent article. Just came out as gender queer. It’s terrifying being myself, but I 100% agree. They’ll keep pushing because it’s my very existence that offends them.

    Putting myself back in that binary box feels like death, because it is. It’s a spiritual death. Not just for me, but for generations of people to follow.

    So, I’m going to keep dressing how I like even if it offends. Because it also encourages and inspires other people like me and you.




  • I figured but still wanted to correct the dark matter/dark fungi metaphor in the article and saw an opportunity to do so with my favorite squid as I used to listen to Bauhaus as a kid.

    Twenty years ago most biology books still classified fungus as plants. That’s how young mycology is as a science. So, there’s lots of unidentified fungus on the planet, but we still fundamentally understand microbiology as a whole.

    Much different than dark matter/energy as we’re not sure really what they ‘are’. We only know them by their effects.




  • I also have cptsd.

    Can’t help much with the legal questions. But there’s medication that can reduce nightmares. Prazosin in particular. It blocks the adrenal response, so you are less likely to go into fight or flight while sleeping.

    Also, PTSD is recognized as a disability. It’s not easy to get disability for it, however discriminating against you for having it, when you are requesting reasonable accommodations is absolutely illegal. If you have medical documentation of your condition that will be helpful. If you don’t, I suggest you start figuring out how to document it. I see a trauma therapist, and my GP is also aware that I have it, as he’s the one that gave me the medication. This is the documentation I’m currently using to try to get disability and it would also work in your instance.
