was watching an Olay & Friends & TheConsciousLee said–
“You usually try to sensationalize ‘men’ in women’s sports. And your argument is that trans women […] should not be putting they hands on a [cis] woman. But then every instance that we see an actual man putting they hand on a woman and being violent, y'all defend it.”
like literally. every person wants to put the weight of the entire legacy of patriarchal violence at the feet of every trans woman and girl for just existing, while at the literal same exact time playing defense for every single man who abuses, rapes, hits, and degrades women.
This is a “plein air” painting which means I set up my easel right across the street of this Chase bank in my city and painted it like it had caught fire. The police questioned me on the spot. Three weeks later Homeland Security was knocking on the door to my home. The question they kept asking me was “Do you hate these banks?” I can honestly say yes.
And I just think this is the greatest artist statement I’ve ever read.
We don’t talk enough about America’s permanent ongoing saturation of “Stranger Danger” hysteria. It’s like this country’s whole social ecosystem teaches full grown adults to perceive an invisible army of rabid bogeymen lurking around every fucking corner. And it’s everywhere. Absolutely fucking everywhere, top to bottom, from true crime media and urban legends like the old Poison Halloween Candy thing to our sadistically rage-fueled, revenge-based justice system and immigration policies. The NRA and the war on drugs and post 9/11 airport security and mccarthyism and satanic panic and just E V E R Y T H I N G in America, everything that has defined its history for 100+ years is constantly nothing but this fucking FEAR TERROR FEAR TERROR for positively no reason. None.
“I’ve decided not to vaccinate my animals. Think about it, how often do you see a rabid dog?”
Yes Heather think about it. Think about how few rabid dogs you see in your comfortable western country with easy access to vet care. Think about why it might be that you’ve never seen a rabid dog. Really dig deep here you absolute fucking fool.
You want to know how close you are to rabies at any given moment?
A box of kittens was given away for free in an elementary school parking lot here. This is the largest city in my state. One of the kittens became ill and later tested positive for rabies. All of the other kittens in the box and every single person who petted them in the parking lot had to be tracked down, and many of these people had to get painful and incredibly expensive shots. The kitten obviously died. I still have no idea if the people giving away said kittens were ever found and hopefully they were not bitten.
Give your stupid fucking dog a stupid fucking rabies shot. Even if you don’t boost them every year, one shot is usually enough to grant a life long immunity. Stop fucking with incurable diseases. You’ll lose.
1. know they are scamming you with dangerous pseudoscience so you shouldnt let them near your neck or give them money
or
2. genuinely believe their dangerous pseudoscience so you shouldnt let them near your neck or give them money
and thats simply the facts of the matter unfortunately. maybe you disagree and thats your right and id never try to take that away from you but you are unfortunately completely wrong and i would encourage looking up more about this
At best, chiropractor adjustments are as effective as a massage and at worst they can kill you. Just get a massage, those won’t kill you and they are usually cheaper.
^^^ its literally this. any actual effective treatment a chiropractor does to you, it is something they borrowed from massage/physiotherapy. the massage and physiotherapy technicians will do all the stuff that actually works and promotes healing, and NONE of the stuff that creates a blood clot that takes three months to get to your brain and kill you (which will not be blamed on the chiropractor even when it should be). everyone in the notes going “but i feel better after i see my chiro thats why i keep going back :(” is experiencing the short-term improvements you will get from any form of physical touch in a medical context, this has been extensively studied. the fact that the underlying issue remains is part of the chiropracty scam.
