Off topic random thought about pain. Just remembered something I read once, where a mom gave advice to another mom to give their kid “toddler sedative” and the other mom was “wait what?” and the first mom went “You know, Tylenol” the second goes “that’s not a sedative” first says “works for me, when my kid gets all fussy and cries all the time it knocks him right out” And I’m: … 🙈 madam, if your kid cries a lot and settles right down when they get a painkiller… THEY’RE IN PAIN Why don’t we talk about that more? Just because someone doesn’t have language, and can’t tell you what hurts, doesn’t mean they don’t experience pain. Heard it happen to a lot of autistic folks too, and then people say things like “they have a higher pain threshold” Dude. Just because someone doesn’t have the same pain reaction as you, doesn’t mean their experience is any different. https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/112787457240684355

“Violence has no place in politics,” says commander-in-chief

imagine the scolding we would get for the absolute rager of a party we would be in right now

the whole country's gonna get soooo many lectures about "political violence" from the people who think all of society will crumble if the cops don't beat the shit out of black teens and homeless people every day of the week

It's all "yeah, punch nazis!" until one gets shot in the ear. Then I have to hear about how we need to come together? No thanks.
