idk I think people shouldn’t be able to sell their children into marriages at 14 years old just because they don’t share my beliefs that that’s horrible. Meanwhile they think that an abortion harms a child in a way that outweighs b the mother’s right to decide whether or not her body gets used as life support and I don’t. I think whether or not it’s important to meddle in other’s private and family lives is actually a fairly complicated question.
I’m also shocked to see that pornhub, xhamster, and xvideos are all 20+ entries down. Maybe the internet isn’t for porn, at least anymore. What is this world coming to? LITERALLY???

psych nurse here: somatic exercises are also for your mind. your mind is part of your body. the idea that they’re separate things or that the brain is “in charge of” the body as opposed to a neat accessory that can do helpful things for it is silly. That concept in and of itself causes a lot of psychological dysfunction that somatic therapies exist to rectify by reunifying the two.

I mean we’ve already accepted that we don’t know how big the universe is. The way physics has been going lately the universe might actually be bigger than reality.
if there’s higher dimensions they’re still part of the universe as I know it, they’re just not in the parts I can perceive. There’s very little useful speculation I can do in relation to the parts I can’t perceive. Apparently this is called “existence monism,” so this would be one of the other things in the Wikipedia theology tree. personally I would classify it as a type of Monolatry.
3·2 months agofun fact! the complimentary term to “phallic” is “yonic” !
I mean it would actually impact my ability to hydrate certain patients under certain circumstances if there really ever 0 plastic straws anywhere ever.
entering the workforce as a young millennial I had a lot of older coworkers talk shit about the young kids wearing their unprofessionally fashionable jogger scrubs but they certainly don’t drag through spilled bodily fluids like flared ones do!
chatgpt aside this is a much more realistic way to look at it than left / right.
I hate it when patients come in having had that be their attempt. Like no you only thought you didn’t want to be alive. Now you know.
