1/ I am in the Eastern Shore of MD, caring for my dad. In the grocery store a man whipped by me, moving way too fast with his cart. Asshole, I think. A minute later I hear him talk to a neighbor...
2/ “you ok?” She asks.
He is red faced, looks like he’s about to scream or maybe sob. He says something about not being able to pay for something important (I can’t hear what.) “and it’s not just the 800K of us, it’s all the contractors we work with, it’s all the restaurants...
3/ “...it’s all the people in the stores! There’s NO ONE THERE. And all the people we’re supposed to work for!

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” she says. “It’s terrible. I’m so sorry.” And she hugs him, showing more empathy in one chance moment than Trump in 18 days. #shutdownstories

How is there still no reporting on what people in Javanka’ synagogues think of them and their various horrific efforts and attempts at spin?
Part of the reason is National Enquirer, TMZ, Murdoch properties are in tank for Trump. But come on, this is also a story for NYT, NY Daily News, WaPo, Forward, NY Mag etc etc.
It. Is. Just. Sitting. There.

LOL, Kavanaugh denying underage drinking, claiming only the seniors were drinking, and only after they were 18.

That’s easily my new favorite lie in this whole thing.
Beyond its basic absurdity—this is 1982, 17 YO binge drinking was absurdly common—it’s wrong on the facts. Kavanaugh wasn’t 18 till February 1983. That was old enough to drink in DC—18 age until Fall 1986—but not to get grandfathered in in MD, which went 21 in summer ‘82.
But hey, maybe Kavanaugh meant that just the seniors were drinking in DC, and never in MD and never before spring ‘83 for him. LOL.

I was 15, waiting in the car for my mom who had gone into the grocery store. A man got in the car. All I remember is that I got myself quickly out of the car. And he left. I didn't even tell my mom when she returned. I was somehow ashamed. My heart still pounds thinking about it

I was 16. A teacher & a tennis coach sexually harassed me. I quit the class & tennis. An uniformed soldier rang our bell, tried to get inside when he saw I was alone. A college man at a summer job offered a ride home but drove us to a strip club. I was ashamed. #WhyIdidntreport

Most of you know I study particle dark matter. I find this stuff so interesting that I wanted to write a thread, all about this weird stuff, to tell you why it's so cool, and what other ideas exist to explain this unknown sector of our Universe!
Dark matter is something we do not yet understand (dark energy is even *less* understood, and I don't see a resolution to dark energy in my lifetime, but I'd happily be proven incorrect if someone figures this stuff out! My money is on dark matter being figured out, first).
Dark matter is something we detect by its interactions with gravity *alone*. We've yet to detect the particle, and do not know its properties. We have ideas, various models for the particle, various paths to solving this problem. None of which have been confirmed, to date.

Where YG is struggling in terms of figuring out his sexuality and is embarrassed about his lack of experience. Fortunately for him JM is more than willing to help him through it.
From what Yoongi can remember, Jimin’s always been rather open about his sexuality.

He can vividly remember Jimin sitting on their couch with his legs tucked underneath him, the corners of his eyes crinkling at the sides when Hoseok had asked that one question that had Jimin
smiling ever so brightly.

“Jiminie, how many guys have you kissed?” and at first Jimin had bursted out in a fit of embarrassed giggles, loving the way he suddenly had gotten all of their attention. Even he knew all of the members were curious, for they always have been.

AU wherein, despite the prejudice people have against hybrids, Jeongguk’s managed to work his way up the ranks and establish a name for himself.
Taehyung, a hybrid w/ a difficult temperament, somehow falls under his care.
The only problem? Jeongguk wants nothing to do with him.
Little context:
More often than not, hybrids are sold as ‘pets’. The handful that do make smth out of themselves still fall victim to some sort of discrimination. Jeongguk’s gone through a lot & is disgusted by it all, so when Taehyung’s given to him, he hates the entire ordeal.
Notes
• Jeongguk has been aged up, so he’s four years older than Taehyung purely to allot for time wherein he becomes successful.
• This may border on nsfw.
• Taehyung will not act as a ‘pet’ or anything similar. He is a person.
