REVEALED: What did Andy Ogles do with nearly $25,000 meant for child burial garden? He won't say Now, NewsChannel 5 Investigates has uncovered more questions that the freshman Republican won't answer.

Since Rep. Andy Ogles is back in the news for the typically bigoted, boneheaded reasons, it's another opportunity to point out that he once raised $25K to open a cemetery for miscarried babies. He then ditched the idea and can't explain what happened to the money.

This is still non-prescription dry food, but we're approaching the prescription level rapidly, and we might as well do wet food at that price point.

Despite not wanting to switch the cats to an all-wet-food diet, the diarrhea from one cat and mega barf from another 48-72 hours from the reintroduction of (sensitive cat!) dry food has kinda forced the issue.

(because racist people shouldn't be allowed in polite society. Wouldn't have to organize around racist if we marginalized them)

Won't lie, the last part, where someone else describes getting out of a first date at the first red flag, well, I'm feeling it. Shaking a little. This shit fucking sucks.

I know you shouldn't wish trauma on people, but I vindictively want my ex-PCP to get paralyzed with terror indefinitely. Soon.

I mean, I'm now navigating elevated PTSD symptoms over it, because I have medical PTSD, I grew up in an abusive home, I have abusive, manipulative exes. It's triggering as all fuck.

I still left. They've chased me (more than one phone call), and I still left.

The Gender Politics of Abandoning Your Girlfriend on a Mountain YouTube video by Rebecca Watson (Skepchick)

What this video describes is why I dumped my most recent PCP over the past two weeks.

He didn't like the way I pushed back against his attempts to "save" me, so he tried to punish me with threats of invasive GI tests. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf6r...

turns out lacking the most basic thing in life, a consistent place to sleep where your shit is not being constantly stolen nor raided by 3rd party actors, makes you go fucking insane. it destroys you. it makes you want to die. you losing your glasses becomes a reason to throw yourself in the street.

mutual aid can't fix this, only the state can. and it's a criminal act, class war, that basic housing is non-existent for those without the means (physical, mental, or otherwise) to make it happen for themselves. they become street detritus instead and we all suffer for it.

a simple example of this comes from within my own chapter, where an unhoused member routinely has mental episodes from being unhoused (he gets his shit stolen, his shitty temp job fucks him over, he gets stuck two states away with no ticket back, etc) that get him repeatedly stuck in a hospital

The QTs of this are psychotic. Russia is a rogue state and I hope Ukraine destroys them but acting like every conscript from Siberia is an enthusiastic Nazi is insane. Imagine blocking a Vietnam vet

don't even get me started on those terrible heckin doggo avatars who jack off over "Orc Deaths"

I am so confused about this, there have been like 150 Robin Hood live action films already, were they going to use a literal fox??

CBS Presents Robin Hood, in which a brave prediction market billionaire and his unassuming friends from Silicon Valley steal back what's left of everything from those conniving low minded masses but not before they have to thwart the evil spectre of Elections that must be stopped to save the world

Gave the custodian a chance to check up on his favorite part of the building. He's a sweetheart, so the worst part was the sweltering classroom, which I'd already gone back to once to get my glasses, water bottle, & pen I forgot when the faucet thing happened.

Yeah, there was a sub.

I ended my work day hunting down the head custodian to check on a faucet for a lab sink where a hyperkinetic freshman had fiddled loose the faucet and sent water everywhere. He did mop most of it up, and it seemed put together, but I got out at least twice as late as usual.

I think we should have a running crowd-funded repository to pay for the legal fees of people who take these pervert glasses off bros and break them in public

Protein is so tricky for me, because I eat more flexitarian out of necessity (overcooked meat hits me third-hardest, after creatine and GI bugs). So much Greek yogurt, so many RX Bars. I generally shoot for 200-calorie chunks, mostly bc that's also fast eating on break at school.

Oof. Yeah, pretty much. Have to be a lot more thoughtful about food these days. I mean, no use wasting space on anything bad, for instance.

YES EXACTLY

it's why it's so hard to explain the difference between a JD Vance and a Mitch McConnell to the Not Online

I have been discussing this with my mom a lot and I think the real divide here isn't generational or class: it's who has been both online & marginalized enough to know the red flags in an edgelord's reddit comments.

like the minute I saw the full posts, I knew there was more out there. I KNEW.

I do think a lot of this is motivated by the stunned indignation of the irony-pilled. if you get a Nazi tattoo for lolz bc you enjoy being shocking, then experiencing the same consequences as someone who got a Nazi tattoo out of sincere desire to do personal violence feels like YOU are the victim

and when the power differential runs the other way, they get to just be like "ha ha calm down, snowflake"

but when the shoe is on the other foot and it's like "actually 'no Totenkopfs in the Senate' feels like a pretty reasonable floor" then suddenly we are being Unfair™️ to a Nice Guy™️

like we have clear language about "intent vs impact" when it's a harmful thing someone does ACCIDENTALLY, but there's a whole other third thing which is "I did this to get one kind of attention (clicks, laughs, shock) but now I'm getting a different kind of attention (consequences) and I'm mad"

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

Earth in the Orion arm and Klendathu, on the opposite side of the galaxy

Ho ho, I missed this, maybe because it’s in the first minute: “To ensure the safety of our system, Klendathu must be eliminated”

"Why is Mills running" probably because the DSCC did some rudimentary background checks on the candidate leading the Democratic primary race in Maine, realized he had a giant Nazi tattoo, panicked, and picked the most prominent Maine Democrat who had won state-wide office to run against him.

I think I may have inadvertently filled up my dinner space with a frosted jelly donut. I wish I were kidding. It was hard to finish because I felt, er, full.

I'm past the super-touchy stomach, and now at the undereating aftermath of toddler-sized appetite. So great!

What's funny is that we know from generations of experiments that human memory is ridiculously, cartoonishly malleable.

People manipulating their pictures like this are literally fucking with their memories. They will remember that event differently, because of the meddling afterwards.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Not to belabor a point, there was a very public online discussion about these types of symbols in 2022-2023 re: the Azov Battalion and I doubt anyone caping for GP was brushing it off then.
