These all are from Dollar Street. I tried to take roughly in the 'middle' of the quartile ranges. I mostly chose the photo I was going to use before I looked at the photo, but sometimes changed it if it felt very out of place compared to others in its range or was a bad photo
Roughly speaking, the quartiles for each (household income per month, in USD, adjusted) are $0-400, 400-800, 800-1600, and 1600+. Again - I tried to take middle ones, so we got mostly photos from around 2-300 range, 600 range, 1100 range, and like 2k-3k range
err srry bottom was closer to $100 range and top was closer to 3-4k range
gonna throw a few more in here

our ancient curse was that men go die in wars and women do childrearing. but we've gone and lifted men's curse and not women's, and the resulting fury at the inequality is the thing we call feminism. we won't find equality again until we solve childrearing
Re: everyone being like nooo children are great
Yeah ok they are great. I believe you. But moms are clearly in the trenches and from the outside it looks rough
Also jfc obviously men still die in wars but the percentage is way way lower than it used to be.

Just searched my name on Twitter and basically 99% of the (high number) of mentions are viciously negative. It's so crazy that just being an openly weird slutty woman generates such universal hate, completely unaffected by high commitment to (trying to be) kind and truth seeking
the thing about this that makes me saddest isn't that people hate me, but the overwhelming hate with nobody defending me. People are ashamed publicly to support me, they don't want to be called a simp or cringe. I get it but it's a little pang that makes me feel alienated
I think I had some shock when I saw how positive the reception was to the decker photo. People just overwhelmingly called him based, chad, respect for him increased. I knew it would be better than the way people treated me but I don't think I expected the gap to be so huge

i've heard ppl who lost a lot of weight talk about some angry cynicism when people start treating them better, even ppl they've known for a long time.
I'm having a bit of that now that twitter seems to like me. i've been consistently myself this entire time, what's happening.
literally last weekend i had multiple ppl come up to me at a party and go 'oh are you aella? i see you on twitter cause everyone hates you'.
if the thing that causes ppl to like me is that i just publicly was patient and knowledgeable with a doofus then this feels kind of shallow and fickle and bad incentives for me. Like what, i win the tribal allegiance game by doing very easy, low-brow things? oh no

i feel like i got friendly with the anti-woke coalition over the past few years, but now it feels like they're walking off a plank into extremism and i feel frustrated about it. Being anti a bad thing doesn't make you right by default; righteous revenge is not compassion
i cant believe i went through years of being super trans-cancelled, shinigami eyes labeled a transphobe due to my sin of being nuanced, and now im feeling like im about to become an insane woke trans defender in the eyes of those who moved further right than me
maybe this is cliche af but my calibration method is something like "Imagine you were really, deeply in love with someone, but also had good boundaries around not overexerting yourself, betraying yourself, or lying. From love, what would you say, how would you act?"

as someone who's eaten a buttload of lsd, tripsat another buttload of people on lsd, and seen plenty of examples of ppl kinda losing it after lsd, here's my advice to not go insane:
1. LSD can be lifechangingly good. You shouldn't make the decision to avoid it lightly/
2. I would be hyper careful if you have bipolar, schizophrenia, any psychosis in your family. I'd be careful if you're trans, have anxiety, are switching any meds, or if you've exhibited unusually high amounts of altered beliefs on other drugs.
3. I would START WITH SMALL DOSES. Seriously. Start tiny. Slowly work your way up. This can give you the opportunity to notice at very low levels any symptoms that are a clue you should not continue.
Those symptoms are:

The more I've learned about kinks, the more I realize I have no idea what's going on, and neither does anyone else. If someone makes a bold, blanket claim about kinks, they don't know what's going on.
Probably some kinks are the result of trauma, sometimes. But it depends! 1/
Certain fetishes seem correlated with childhood abuse more than others, and in certain demographics more than others. And even among the fetishes that are correlated more, there's still a substantial fraction of people who are into weird stuff and report zero childhood abuse.
Not all kinks are created equal - there's different categories of fetishes, and my theory (looking at all the data i have) is that they likely have different types of causes, and use different types of the brain than others, and play vastly different functions
