He put his hand on my lower back after puberty, where before he’d just hold my hand. I should probably have clarified that. My dad was not an affectionate man.

This was also in the early 00s when purity balls were common, so having attended one of those I definitely feel like his hand placement was possesive

My mother did not. My father may have, but what I remember is when I was older and he started putting his hand on my back when we were out together. That was weird and possesive

My parents did not love me lol

That is a fabulous cape!

Tag yourself!

I’m the shapeless blobs in the back

I always thought that part of the song was about domestic violence, and she’s covering up bruises. I guess it could also be covering up injection bruises

No thoughts, just box

He was cast because he was in the mad max movie a couple years before, and the director thought he could hold his own ground opposite Schwarzenegger

By the time I was a teenager I had some idea that what was happening to me wasnt “normal” but I didn’t understand just how bad it was until I was an adult. My peers would sometimes stare in shock at what I was complaining about, but I think if an adult had tried to intervene I might have understood the severity of my parent’s actions.

Young me was fairly terrified of everything, but I think we would bond over music. I work with teens that have similar issues now, so I know I’d at least be able to put myself at ease lol

Top center is Timothée Chalamet (Dune). No idea who the rest are though

I went back and forth between something I typically listen to everyday like Spiritbox, and something I love but don’t listen to all the time like Blank Banshee.

Blank Banshee won, Frozen Flame

This is maybe an odd choice, but I’d make Cher listen to it. She was the first major artist to use autotune (in my memory at least). So maybe she’d be more open to the heavily technology-dependent parts of vaportrap too

I agree with you, I was just sharing what I knew of the process. My grandpa was rejected in a different state, but they were kind enough to cremate him for us.

Same. I’m facing a dire financial issue at the moment, been seriously considering finding a home for my pets and dipping out by the end of the year. The only thing that’s kept me from doing that already is that my oldest pet is 16 and does not do well with anyone

There are a few reasons that I know of: Heavy bodies are more difficult to move, fat bodies take longer to dissect, and large bodies don’t always fit on the (usually decades-old) tables.

I think that weight is a disqualification that’s been changing in recent years, because even in Europe bodies are starting to trend larger. But it’s still something to keep in mind if you live in like Mississippi and think the University of Mississippi will take your 350 pound grandpa when he passes on.

I think it’s implying the opposite, that they abused their body so much during life that they no longer qualify to be donated. Weight is one of the major disqualifiers for whole-body donation.

The vast majority of bodies go to medical institutions for surgical training, with a smaller percent going to research

The quote also says it was a professor at Columbia, which is one of the universities the administration has been bullying lol

I feel like Spotify’s recommendations have seriously gone downhill in the last two or three years. Most of the new music I actually like I’ve found in music comms on Lemmy

I prefer plain sparkling water. No flavors or sweetener, just bubbles. Unfortunately my bladder doesn’t agree that it’s the best way to consume liquid, so now I’m dehydrated all the time because I can’t convince myself to just drink still water like a normal human

I’m aware of that. I am not sure why you told me to watch that video when I was trying to figure out why they chose folinic acid supplements specifically. Because folic acid and folinic acid can really make people with MTHFR deficiency sick, and for some it also worsens their autism symptoms.
