At least 30 writers have been arrested across the country since February, a lawyer tells the BBC.

Idk what happened, but I feel like less of a person these days. My creativity, energy, discipline, passion and even talent all feel like they are just gone.
Being with my family hasn't improved things. I think I have some sort of undiagnosed mental pathology (being too cool perhaps?). Or maybe it's cause my parents aren't letting me take my multivitamin gummies.
This is why I developed an alternative personality. I stay sane by straight up hallucinating my own company.
Everytime a Jewish (read: zionist) person is violently attacked by hamas (read: has to see a "free palestine" sticker on the street), it is a genocide.
Recent chapters are absolutely peak. Idk how far you are, but I would marry
In a heartbeat.
It really is just fish cum. The reason China managed to make caviar cheap is because they are extracting it without killing the fish, and caviar itself is actually fish eggs from sturgeon. Since you don't have to kill the fish to extract the caviar, a single female can produce way more over her lifetime, leading to a drop in prices.

The only thing I am geeking about right now is Kagurabachi.
I am overthinking my topic for the mega.
The key to liking arguments is to win them.
If someone said that to me, I would take it literally and miss all the subtext.
Going back to visit my parents has reminded me why I didn't want to come out to them. They generally just treat me as if I am stupid, as if everything I do will cause me to die or something and force me to follow their religious traditions.
No matter how much I love them, it is impossible for me to maintain a healthy relationship with them. I don't want to come out and have them argue with me about how I am not actually trans or how I am destroying my body with hormones. I know for a fact that I will get angry and say things that I shouldn't.
In retrospect, I literally just had an emotional argument with them, and it was triggered over how fucking stupid I am aparantly because I don't wash my rice. This shit ain't working.
At least that shit is a lot more fun than John akwardly rolling around killing 20-50 goons every location and then saying "yeah" occasionally T_T.
"To say that 'Everyone is Welcome' in a public school system is not political, it's the law," said one Idaho teacher.
On the contrary, the legal system is deeply political.
I ain't reading all that. The first few paragraphs alone convinced me it isn't worth my time. I really don't care about the grievances of idiots who think "science" should not mix with "politics".
And even if China is the senior partner to the country that europe cannot beat, europe can definitely beat them. All we need is unity (and infinite money to the MIC)
I finally watched the John wick movies. I am really surprised by how much of their runtime consists of John wick just wrestling/fighting with random grunts you didn't care about.
I was also expecting the movies to be highly tense, but other than the first movie, John barely ever takes damage. This isnt a spoiler (cause it's the first scene of the first movie), but in the first, my guy ends up completely fucked up and shot and bleeding out. In the next movies, John is fighting increasingly tougher opponents while taking increasingly less damage (and all the blunt force impacts he takes stop meaning anything).
I'll be completely honest, I thought the Americans were at least good at making action slop.
POV: Kris is telling you to proceed
I've used the word "catastrophic" too much these days, but like, I took my hormones to my parents, only to find out that the safe deposit I had booked cancelled on me. Now I have a ticking time bomb in my backpack.
Amazon delayed my delivered so it came after I left for my parents. By the time I will be back, the return period will have been expired.
Ali express decided to send my swimsuit to my address and not my parents. I don't have a body of water where I live :)
How do I motivate myself to start cardio so I can loose weight?
Does my brain have a switch that i need to press?
Dame Meg Hillier, who chairs the Treasury select committee and was a originally a key rebel, said βdivided parties donβt hold powerβ and that claimed that if Labour members want to see their values played out in this country βwe need to vote for this todayβ.
We need unity and power so we can ram through more ghoulshit policies.
I'm not kidding when I say this, kill these people.
China is cracking down on young women who write gay erotica
At least 30 writers have been arrested across the country since February, a lawyer tells the BBC.
I had no idea that there was a fujoshi in the BBC cast of "journalists", and I have trouble believing that the arrestees would be forced to strip nude. Does anybody have more information on what is going on?
I'm giving up :(
I ain't doing all this spy bs. The more I think about it, the more avenues there for things to go wrong. Plus, I'm also going to have to visit Taiwan for important business, and I am not risking taking my hormones there because they have the death penalty and what not for "drug trafficking".
The whole logistics of hiding around my hormones then using them in secret just makes me think it's better for me to not even try. Plus, unlike what I thought at firsr, I am definitely getting mood swings from my schedule. If I want to avoid them, I need to speed up my schedule, increasing the risks of being caught.
So yeah, I will be off HRT for a while. Maybe I shouldn't be making this decision while drunk and on the tail end of my last hormone shot (been 10 days), but I don't feel like being sober right now. My dysphoria is at a high point so I really just prefer to drink instead of thinking.
Anyway............. the latest chapter of kagurabachi was a ba
Update #4: Still Fighting to Stay Safe and Heal β We Need Your Help

Hey loves,
First, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has shared, donated, and sent love so far. Your support means more than words right now.
But things have gotten worse. We were attacked by people from the host community because of who we are. They burned our shelters, and two of my sisters were badly hurt as we ran for our lives. We got them to the only private hospital that would treat us, and thanks to you, weβve been able to pay half the hospital bill.
Weβre still struggling to cover the rest and find a safe place to recover. Hereβs what we need urgently:
1.Hospital bills: $900 total / $675 raised / $225 still needed 2. Relocation somewhere safer: $350 3. Food, medicine, and basics to heal: $250 Total goal: $1,500 β still need $825 to reach safety.
Every share, kind word, or do
Cloth wrap as option for breast binding?
Uh, so as the title says, I want to use cotton fabric rolls as a way to compress down my breasts as a way to hide their growths from my parents (whom i have to visit soon). I tried buying binders made for transmascs, however, I didn't find an option that fit my ribcage (which I am finding out is actually really large). Then, with the wrap, I can wear 2 layers of shirt (I'll claim it's a fashion thing) on top of that. I'm not quite sure how well it will work.
Alternatively, I also now have 4 sports bras with removal pads. The problem with the sports bras is that while I can easily explain bringing along rolls of Bandages, bringing along bras would wierd them out a lot and raise questions. Idk how to hide any bras I bring along, since my mom always goes through my stuff.
I'm also really not sure how I am supposed to hide my hormone supplies. What I've come up with so far is to pre-prepare supplies, put them in a padded metal box. Then once I get to my parents, I bury them in the grou
New (recycled) attack on mamdani dropped
I saw this graph be posted around on reddit (the graphics definately look like they are from the zionist rag). I don't know which attack piece it was pulled out of though.
I'll be honest, I'm not sure what exactly is happening here, cause I didn't follow the election at all. However, I doubt that primaries are all too representative of the broader state of public opinion in NYC.
According to a quick Google search on Wikipedia, the primary had about 1 million votes, while the population of the 5 boroughs of NYC is almost 9 million.
In theory, a sample size of 1 million is more than enough to make a good statistical comparison, however, personally who votes in democrat primary is a self-selecting category.
Despite this, I am seeing the rather typical accusations levied against mamdani about champagne socialism or whatever (by the same people who don't mind killing the poor and third worlders, but I digress).
One commenter went as far as to proclaim that "there is no more
Least confidently incorrect libs
Post link for anyone who cares
Looking at these liberals just confidently parrot whatever 10th grade "political science" education they got in school in response to any global event makes me appreciate the actual bourgeois intellectuals who have to hard carry these idiots.
A comment chain resembling the "mental gymnastics" meme
I can't for the life of me figure out where I got this old ass image from, but I find it intensely funny as a philosophical amoralist. Hell, it's funny from a vegan perspective, or even from a "this reads like satire" perspective.
"It's a trespasser so I killed it", "the rodent was a thief so I gave it the death penalty", "You are a psychopath for questing the arbitrariness of conventional moral standards".
Best part is, according to the metadata of this screenshot, I took this screenshot on some post titled the biggest flaw of my hero academia, which raises more questions than it answers.

The libs are cooked and can't be uncooked
We had a lunch lecture where this environmental scientist gave a talk about critical materials and how big of a problem our reliance on these are. He links the whole thing up with politics pretty well, explaining how various political actors are involved and benefit from this or that.
At some point, he even mentions how in the netherlands, policy doesn't get passed without a buy-in from industry. It means quite a lot, cause this guy is government hired in recommending policies.
Then he contradicts himself in the next paragraph by saying that this is the curse of democracy that people make stupid decisions.
I ask this guy about the contradiction. How you simultaneously harp about profits over needs, the evils of consultancy firms, and the inability of the Dutch government to do anything but pursue corporate interests, while also talking about the problems of "democracy"?
He just tells me "we are a democracy that's why the Dutch government listens to industry". Well not exactly t
I souped my pasta
It's over bros/siss/xes
I boiled the pasta, and instead of draining the water, I accidentally added the tomato sauce into the water with the pasta. My pasta is now soup.
The only saving grace is that I usually undercook my pasta and eat it crunchy. So I can still reduce the "soup" a bit before it becomes overcooked.
I just tasted the pasta. I added salt to it which was a mistake because the sauce I bought also has salt in it. I now am beginning to understand how that "if I cook even the simplest of food I will somehow fuck it up and poison everybody" gag in anime works.
I love platonic ideals
I think the title is pretty self-descriptive. I love me some platonic ideals. They are so cute and cuddly
There's even more platonic ideals I love. I love those platonic

I swear to God this woman is basically "western fascist chauvinism packaged in a sleek wrapper".
Peak coloniser brain. The only ones they show respect for is other colonisers. I wouldn't be surprised to see if she had produced some video or the other using (metaphorical) calipers to make (metaphorical) skull measurements of the incurable Arabs and why they deserved to be genocided by the superior aryan white settlers.
I find this shit even more disgusting just how comically wrong all this shit is. You don't have to dig up obscure facts! It is the Americans who systematically obliterated the public institutions in Iraq and Afghanistan in the first place! Shit is common knowledge for anyone who literally bothered to read news articles of the wars, forget doing actual research!
If the liberals are really so concerned about Afghanistan, could they try to not steal Afghanistan's foreign reserves and try to intentionally create a famine there?
Truly, these people gorge themselves upo

I can't with this fucking paper anymore. I spent the past few days morning to night developing my models for the circuits I am working on. I have to submit this paper (for a first draft, so there is a silver lining to this) tomorrow by midnight. I had not run my simulations yet, or added citationSS.
I sit down to finally run my simulations, then I realized the circuit had a connection in a slightly different location than what I'd used in developing my theory. To my horror I have come to realize that this makes all my work over the past few days useless and I have to redevelop the theory.
I swear to fucking God, I'm done with this shit. I feel tempted to just ignore this problem and fix it by the time of my final draft. I've been working 7 days a week for God only knows how many weeks now. I just want a regular Sunday for once. I mean, I still have to make citationSS even if I ignore the other problem. And I have to study for a regular course as well...

Voice training apps?
So uh, I've been girlmodding for 2 months now (or is it 3? I forget), but I've been pretty lazy about it. Haven't bought a bra (I had a sports bra, but it was so uncomfortable to wear. Now going outside is getting uncomfortable because of chaffing), Haven't gotten proper clothes, or waxxed or any of that shit.
But, that stuff can be fixed relatively easily. The big thing I need is voice training. Unfortunately, I am like the worst person in the world for keeping my focus on things (I am 90% sure i have at least mild adhd). Plus, I have no idea how to actually voice train. So my question to you all is if there is some voice training app I can download.
I need something
Now this might seem like overly specific requirements, but I figured that it's 2025, there should be something out there.
