I'm reading the declaration for tonight, and like in many, the teenagers detail the food they're given every day.

Breakfast: pudding, oatmeal, juice
Lunch: Noodle cup, juice
Dinner: Small bean burrito, cookie, juice.

Just doing some basic Googling, that's about 1250 calories
A little more Googling about caloric needs:

"Teenage boys should consume 2,200 to 3,200 daily calories per day on average. Teen girls should consume 1,800 to 2,400 daily calories per day on average."
verywellhealth.com/top-superfoods…
These three teenagers (14, 16, 16) are *hungry* because they're being underfed. The two boys are eating *about half* of what they should be. The girl is getting only 2/3rds. Every day, for weeks-to-months. And that doesn't even consider the vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
There's not enough food.

And they're too scared to ask for more.

Amanda *🎨daily* wants kids out of cages for xmas

Okay. I know this isn't my normal topic, so bear with me. This is a non-specific thread on reporting *Domestic Violence*. If that's not something you want to think or hear about today, this is the warning to mute it now.

#DoesAnyoneFuckingCare
My situation was fairly mild. I'm not going to share details, but the only reason I thought to re-contact my divorce lawyer was because he was continuing to harass me. In the course of talking to him about the harassment, I mentioned something that I didn't realize was a big deal
He replied back that I needed to document it and we needed to file a protective order. After spending over an hour at the sheriff's office a few months before and being straight up told that I had nothing they could do anything about, this was a bit of a surprise.

Amanda 🆘 is Painting Daily Border Quotes

They started 0 tolerance with no tracking system. They didn't count the kids they took. They literally didn't write down their parents names. They took ~300 children UNDER FIVE and 5200 5+ from their parents without making note of who arrived with kids.
wapo.st/2Nttp4e
* Correction - 300 of the 1500 recently disclosed were under 5. Many more than 300 of the 5500 total were under 5.
If we assume that ratio is about equal among all separations, there have been around 1100 babies and small children, under 5, separated before, during and after 0 tolerance. Not including newborns taken from their mothers in the hospital if a relative couldn't come forward.

Day 98: “About three days ago I got a fever. They moved me alone to the flu cell. There is no one to take care of you there.”

Separated from his sister and her child earlier, he was then separated from his twin as well when he got sick.

Day 99: “When they separated us from my sister, we lost contact with my family. My sister had a paper with my parents’ address and phone number on it, and she also had that information memorized. I don’t know my parents’ number.”

Thanks largely to Twitter, today marks the day I am 30 pounds lower than my peak 2019 weight in February. 30 pounds lost in 8 months. I was 204 pounds and now I’m 174. I’m a stocky 5’9” build, so it’s hard to tell by looking at me. Here’s how I did it...

#weightloss
First, I came across a tweet that basically said, “Hunger is the feeling of losing weight.” That changed my #mindset about responding to #hunger. Instead of eating or snacking, I trained myself to appreciate the discomfort.
Second, I came across a tweet that said something like, “Americans are eating 14 hours per day.” I thought, “That sounds ridiculous.” But I realized I’d often have breakfast at 8am and ice cream or chips at 10pm. So I set a rule to only eat between noon and 7PM.

Day 171:

It's easier for people to disagree with you than to think up an original solution on the spot.

Don't take it personally, just lazy brains being lazy due to their nature.
Day 172:

The most important step is always the next step.
Day 173:

It's true that smart people are often wrong, but the average person is almost always wrong.

Mudakun - obscure blogger, not an influencer
@Mudakuntweets
I need to motivate and write sumthin for my blog but everything is either too "big and messy" or "feels not worth the effort now"

Until I got this idea to play with FANDOM TERMINOLOGY SHITFIGHTS
and the current anime season's take on guys hangin' out in a band;

(Oh snap! Muddy-kun is gonna frick this one up in classic gettit-wrong fashion)

No..wait... Have been watching it on a certain "grey" aggregator site, fun to read comments too.

Of course commenters are all sloppy with terms: "GAY" "Yaoi" "shonen-ai".

By ep5 all I can guess is that one chara has a man-crush and another, a roomie. Read in what you will -- or am I erasing? Or am I reluctant to be trolled by the writers?

Besides the point. What we got here is an almost genre-perfect take on a "guys friendships" story.

Day 92:

To be manipulative is to purposefully engineer the signals you give out in order to deceive.

To be authentic is to be open, honest and integral, to mirror on the outside what is on the inside.

Make sure not to fool yourself
Authenticity is courage and strength
Day 93:

Feeling is the water flowing down the river
Reason is all the rocks and obstacles that divert its flow

A man without his or others' feelings is like a dry river bed

A man without reason and self-control is like a flood, to drown all that is living
Day 94:

If you're not disabling all notifications on all devices (messaging and mails included) you are giving others control over your life. You become a slave to them, and their algorithms.

Disable them.

Day 5: George Papadopoulos Russian Collusion Setup Tour.

So it turned out that one of my good friends from Atlanta was also going to be in London. We decided a couple of weeks ago to create our very own George Papadopoulos Russia Collusion Setup Tour. @GeorgePapa19
You may start laughing like we did at the silliness of this, but at the same time we wanted to see with our own two eyes were Mifsud and Downer plied their trade as SPIES! Our first stop was the Andaz Hotel. This was where, by his own account, George met with Mifsud and a...
...honeypot. We had a very nice breakfast there, like George, whole we caught up on our lives and colluded about George. I thought about asking one of our waiters if he might know who George is or who Mifsud is, but I had watched too many SPY movies to know that waiters also...
