#StructureChange is coming...a thread. (speculation based on extensive research)

We will have an entirely new set-up or system- to which we will soon begin the transition- new structures for financial, energy, legal, health, education & political systems.

Lots of upset Hollywood Stalinists calling my representatives and demanding to know why they still represent me.

This is how they work, people.

But since I'm already rich, they can't hurt me. It's the aspiring artists they destroy, either mentally, by making them afraid 1/

Personal thoughts on how to choose Vaccine as of date in India given tremendous uncertainty about approval/availability of Vaccines.

If you can get it "somehow" .Get a Pfizer/Moderna Vaccine . Previously it appeared that Pfizer Vaccine would come in Private Market and will be administered in Metros.

But Pfizer developed cold feet and Govt seems not interested (as Vaccine requires -70 degree for storage and distribution difficult/price high-> could precipitate health iniquity).

As a compromise ,if you are very high risk(>50,comorbidity, elderly in family). Consider taking Covishield. Hold off/get Antibody titres if you have autoimmune/neurological disease or history of severe allergic reaction as here the Vaccine has higher risk of side effects

While approval in Clinical trial mode is granted for COVAXIN . Wait for phase 3 data . (don't get sucked in by "indigenous" tag yet).

He was sending out All those messages surrendering ..

Both The Light and Dark sides have been asking for

forgiveness in many ways .

Because I am who I am I have to listen. I have to give EVERYONE = Chance to repent and come clean.
No I Am not protecting any of [THEM] who have committed all those crimes. I am/Was at the time giving everyone the chance to make things right.

1. I know I've been raging angry since the #MAGA #DomesticTerrorism attack on our nation, but for 20+ years I swore allegiance to the US Constitution, and I'm still so furious that our own POTUS would encourage our very own citizens to attack our nation.

#MAGATerrorists

2. The oath of office we vets take isn't something to be taken lightly. I would literally give up my life to protect our leaders, even those I disagree with. I would lay down my life for people like Trump, @LindseyGrahamSC, & even @tedcruz. I would take a bullet for all of them.

3. The fact that they would not only support, but still continue to encourage the #MAGATerrorists doesn't just hurt me as a citizen, but it destroys me as a disabled combat veteran. Their support of those who wish to bring down our country hurts me in ways #ISIS never could.

4. People like @tedcruz has never served, so they don't know what the pain of watching what they do to our country does to us who would literally stand against the gates of hell to make sure they survive as they flame the same fires which would kill me & my brothers & sisters.

5. They have no respect for my life or the life of loyal veterans everywhere.

I would like to remind them of the oath of office we officers must take to serve them to lead us in a mature and orderly fashion, not supporting #MAGATerrorists to bring us to the brink of #CivilWar.

For us to get through what needs to happen next, our society and we as individuals need to learn how to accept feedback that our behavior needs change and sit with the discomfort of being wrong.
I see over and over again that people are so uncomfortable with this idea that they

distance themselves from reality when others make complaints. You see them question if you're sure that is what happened, they make excuses and wonder if you maybe interpreted it wrong, or maybe you invited it all because if YOU did something wrong here then they can distance

themselves from the idea that similar abuse might occur to them. Instead we need to be supporting people who are speaking truth to abusers. We need to not tone police them, gaslight them, or diminish their stories. But this is exactly where people go first because they are so

unable to sit with the discomfort of reality. They would rather denial that anything happened at all. Then they are safe from it too.

The problem is that this mechanism provides cover for abusers and gives them the space to abuse. It discourages people from coming forward.

And if you try to talk to an abuser about their behavior they won't hear it either. There will always be something wrong with how you phrase your complaints, purity tests, gaslighting, and further abuse.

But there is a moment between the complaint and the response where a breath

Here's a happy story to end the week. For years @RonJichardson and I had fantasised about going to New York. For almost as long as we'd known each other we'd dreamt of going and having a holiday there. In 2011 we sorted it and set off on our adventure.

We went for 10 nights which is a long time in New York. It was emotional. For both of us NY was the land of dreams. Seeing the Ghostbusters Fire Station is still one of the highlights of my life. My main memory is of the bars. I think we went to every bar in New York.

The best thing about going for 10 nights is you can do the tourist stuff pretty quick and then you're just mooching about as if you live there for a week. The days are long, especially when you're doing a pub crawl every day.

One of the games we'd play at home was The Lookalike Game. On a train, in a pub or on the Tube you'd spot someone and say "over your right shoulder, looks like a short Les Dennis" or "by the bar, a male Barbara Streisand". It was purely for our own amusement.

Towards the end of our trip in New York we're walking down a busy street in downtown Manhattan. We're playing the lookalike game. Jon says "he looks like Billy Connolly". I look up and there's a radiant man in a North Face gilet. He didn't look like Billy Connolly.

Ok, holidays and coups are mostly over, so back to threads.
There was some recent talk about pompeii because they dug out some more of it.

Like, seriously: CW for *very old* porn.
Also, I will speak of the casts of dead bodies in pompeii. That can be disturbing.

Truly, civilization never recovered.

Literally "beware of the dog", so it's easy to think it's like our modern similar signs. (1/2)

Let's talk menstrual cups and periods. Ask me whatever questions you have and I'll do my best to answer.

I have been using a cup since June 2020 and it has literally freed me. I use a Sirona Small. I've answered some really common questions below.

1. The best way to find your size is a finger test. You will need to insert a finger in your vagina and then find your size. This video will help

2. Don't go by the descriptions on the menstrual cup website. Your age has nothing to do with your cervix size. Your size can't be changed unless you give birth. So, you have to measure it. Make sure to measure it when you are close to your period.

3. When you pick a brand, pick one that is FDA approved. This ensures the brand has used quality silicone for the cup. You can check the measurements for Sirona Small and approximate for other brands. I bought mine from Amazon.

4. Women have 3 different holes which connect to three different systems in the body. Your vagina connects to the reproductive system. Your urethra or pee hole connects to the excretory system and your poo hole/butthole is the final step of your digestive system.

For years, I distrusted sidewalks. I grew up in Athens, where sidewalks are cramped, cracked, or just missing. I learned to walk on the street, something I had to “un-learn” after moving overseas. But I spent time in Athens recently, and it all came back. A thread—on sidewalks.

First rule: sidewalks are *not* for pedestrians. They function chiefly as overflow parking. If there is enough space on the sidewalk, a car or motorcycle will appear. Vehicles win—every time. (Photos taken around Alimos and Palaio Faliro.)

The next barrier is the trash can. The urban planner has often firmed its place on the sidewalk with this little insert. Good luck squeezing past these guys.

And, of course, these obstacles exist alongside others (e.g. trees, poles, etc.). Combined, they are a formidable barrier—like a poorly played game of Tetris. The committed pedestrian might pull off the slalom required, but most will simply walk on the street. Easier that way.

The indifference towards the pedestrian extends to every non-car user. I often saw bikers on the tram path—the only way to move seamlessly along the coast. Or they risked their lives to ride alongside cars. The bottom line is this: unless you’re in a car, get out of the way.

I wrote this a similar thread a while back but it’s worth repeating given the way in which QANON and similar theories are spreading and how it resonates with people who are mentally unstable. This is a thread about giant ants. Sort of.

A while back, I was covering a terrorism trial and a guy I knew from decades ago who had since become schizophrenic became fixated on me. He became strangely convinced he could save the world and that I had to be part of it.

He was convinced at times I was Hillary Clinton (in disguise), and at other times he thought he needed to impregnate me (against my will) to save the human race. He once emailed a whole bunch of people at the newspaper where I worked. It wasn’t great.

I ended up getting a restraining order against him. But since I had once known him, and had known him at a time when he wasn’t like this — when he hadn’t posed a threat — I tried to understand what was going on.

@JustUsADOS @AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot In my humble opinion, there are some (few) who claim “FBA” because they don’t like the moniker “descendants of slavery”. But, they don’t understand the significance, connection and necessity in being explicit that we are owed reparations BECAUSE OF “slavery”... 1️⃣▶️

@AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot And, everything that followed on the timeline from slavery til now. But, these *few*, need to understand that “FBA” IS an “org” (that does nothing) except for dox people, speak recklessly about ADOS, Black immigrants, and other people who ARE doing the work. Tariq can *say* 2️⃣▶️

@AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot it’s not an “org”, but once he trademarked it, created some kind of “flag”, took money from thousands of people for a “conference”, and created some sort of weird and dangerous *allegiance* amongst those people... it’s an “org”. That does NO real work in furthering our cause.3️⃣▶️

@AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot So, those *few* who are doing some work (in Marlon’s case) need to pick a definitive side in name, and principle. Because, whatever work they are doing, needs to be within the continuity of the foundation and work of ADOS who IS an actual WORKING ORGANIZATION. As well as a 4️⃣▶️

@AbdullaahDawud @BreakingBrown @doritegrocery @Amazon_Queenn @melanatriot DEFINED lineage. Those *few* are NOT actually helping, but are in the long run, harming the momentum and progress of those (ADOS) who ACTUALLY created and initiated the definitions, foundation and momentum for the reparations *movement* in the past few years. I can clearly 5️⃣▶️

The chaos inside the U.S. Capitol came after the police force that protects the legislative complex was overrun by a mob of Trump supporters in what law enforcement officials called a catastrophic failure to prepare https://t.co/DqwlosQxKY

The siege of the Capitol represents one of the gravest security lapses in recent history, current and former law enforcement officials said, turning one of the most recognizable symbols of American power into a locus of political violence

While events such as a presidential inauguration involve detailed security plans by numerous security agencies, far less planning went into protecting the joint session of Congress that convened to ratify the results of the 2020 presidential election, officials said

That lapse came despite glaring warning signs of potential violence by hardline supporters of Trump, who are inflamed by his baseless claims of a stolen election and hope to block the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden

And security initially was handled almost entirely alone by the U.S. Capitol Police, a 2,000-member force under the control of Congress and dedicated to protecting the 126-acre Capitol Grounds

I’ve seen lots of people defending porn and BDSM on this website recently, and a lot of other people critiquing them for it. I feel like both sides miss something important that the other side has to say. I usually stay out of this debate, but I feel quite strongly about this.

The critics of BDSM have many things right. The fact that BDSM is used as a smoke screen by abusive men who murder their partners and then blame it on a “sex game gone wrong” should appal all right thinking people.

Pornography/ 50 shades have mainstreamed many of the more extreme practices of BDSM, including choking and anal. This mainstreaming has not brought with it any understanding of consent, or how to reduce the risks associated with more extreme practices.

This has led to young women being pressured into painful and humiliating sex acts that they do not want, did not ask for, and do not understand, without having any trust in their partner to carry out the acts safely, or even with regard to their own desires. This is appalling.

Many defenders of BDSM would agree with all of this. No really, they would. The argument is that if you are pressuring an unwilling partner, murdering people, if you are a dom who has no concern for your sub’s experience, you are not practicing BDSM, you are being abusive.

THREAD on conspiracy theories & attachment.
I keep seeing frustrated social media posts asking why people believe conspiracy theories. Answer: It gives a sense of control - includng belonging, predictability & safety. It's emotional regulation. Here's research to unpack that.

2. "Participants with an 'ambivalent attachment style' were more likely to believe in conspiracy theories....The findings add further evidence that attachment not only influences how a person interacts with others, but also influences world views."

3. "People have a strong need to feel positive abt the groups they belong, such as their nationality, political party & religious group. A conviction that others conspire against one's group is more likely to emerge when the group feels undervalued." 2019

4. "Conspiracy theories are consequential as they have a real impact on people's health, relationships, and safety. They are emotional given that negative emotions and not rational deliberations cause conspiracy beliefs."

5. "Ostracized participants were more likely to endorse conspiracy beliefs related to political issues. Moreover, heightened vulnerability mediated the link between ostracism and conspiracy beliefs."
