Around the time my kids were graduating from highschool, she always made it seem like being a mom was this monumental task that no reasonable person could ever do well, just unbearably difficult so to cope you’d need to scream at and emotionally abuse your children or you’d never survive. There are two modes of mothering, ignoring your child or screaming at your child. My mom kept me fairly isolated and wouldn’t drive me anywhere despite living in along distance to nothing but other houses mostly filled with older couples so I never really got to see how “normal” families work or how other kids interacted with their parents, if I ever did manage to get an invite to a new friends house or an after school activity was forbidden from participating. Raising kids though, wow, such an incredible eye opener to just how easy kids are to love, how easy it is to raise children when you’re a sane and consistent parent. Motherhood isn’t inherently a screaming match between you and a child who never asked to be there that you hate because of their mere existence. Sure not everyone is cut out to be a mom, of course, but to present abuse as both normal and justified is evil. I don’t care how bad she had it as a kid, she was obligated to protect me from that just like I was obligated to protect my kids from the things she did to me. She was an early childhood education teacher and I’ve come to realize it’s because anyone over the age of ~4 is too much of a human being for her to handle, she only wants completely subservient, physically small children around because she can dominate them and any other social interaction that she’s not dominating the other person is intolerable to her. She’s a pathetic person truly

Ugh that was such a wild slide and if you said anything you were treated like the dumbest person on earth who wanted “the terrorists to win” - trying to explain to people the patriot act was in fact not patriotic or even good for us was the first time I really realized how tuned out everyone was and how desperate they were to be told how to think

I will never understand why people who feel this way would adopt or take in kids from places or cultures they feel so negatively towards

lol wtf is with that little girls weave??

Idk my husband never changed, Levi’s always had these

This can be stopped but the GOP is unwilling to do the legal process to stop him

They do call them coke spooks in the very first sentence of the second paragraph

I loved them as a kid, I was sad they got rid of them, but I never used them for coke lol

It depends on the size of the particle and what the particle is made of, titanium dioxide is not capable of penetrating your skin because it’s a solid and the solid particles are too large for direct absorption, something touching your skin in cream form does not actually mean it will definitely penetrate through your skin. Titanium is by its self considered a body safe metal, and dioxide means it contains two oxygen atoms and one atom of the main ingredient, titanium is a particularly large atom. This doesn’t mean that titanium dioxide should be being applied directly to the mucus membranes in your body, like in your intestines, but skin is significantly less permeable. Titanium dioxide in sunscreen is considered safe, it is not banned from use in the EU in sunscreens, it’s also considered environmentally safe, which is untrue of nonmineral sunscreens

Don’t eat titanium dioxide but that doesn’t mean it’s not good for other things.

Titanium dioxide acts as a physical block from the sun, it reflects and scatters the harmful parts of sunlight, it’s pretty common in mineral sunscreen. Applying it topically would not cause the same effects as ingesting it would.

Is it a covenant?
