  • And why are judges so harsh on sentencing women defending themselves or others?

    It’s also worth noting that the pedophile here was an ex cop. 40% of police families experience domestic violence. That study was done by cops self reporting their own violent behavior and abuse btw.

    Men who kill their spouses for any reason serve an average of 2-5 year prison sentences, while women who kill their partners in self-defense serve an average of 15 years.

    The deeper you delve into these statistics, the more harrowing the facts become.

    Abusers are given light sentences while their victims are hit with the book, including women who have found out their partners have been sexually abusing children and snap.

    None of this is to even start delving into the racial biases woven into the fabric of the US prison industrial system.

    Another fun fact, approximately 77% of women incarcerated for murder were abused by their alleged victims.

    That statistics follows approximately 77% of women incarcerated across the US legal system for any reason are themselves domestic abuse survivors.

    Below is an article that highlights additional statistics and stories about the reality of sentencing disparities.

    I can see your point here, but what is to stop somebody from begaving that way and just claiming to have an official diagnosis, rather than a self diagnosis to begin with? There’s always going to be people who behave in bad faith in any group, People who are going to lie and manipulate are just going to do that. There’s no way to avoid that, that doesn’t result in alienating people with systemic barriers to diagnosis. With what we know about the bias in diagnosis to begin with as well as all the other reasons people have pointed out. I think rejecting self diagnosis as a valid means of finding support, and community is going to harm more people than keep out bad faith actors.





  • Nice! If they are the very thin Thai chilis, it might be too much hassle, but this method works with any green chilis. Traditionally, it’s done over a fire but you can set the chilis directly on the stove burner.You want to blister and fully blacken the skin of the chili. From there, it goes directly into a zip lock or Tupperware container. You leave it sealed for 30 seconds or about a minute or so. The steam coming from the chilis in the container is enough where the skins peal right off no microwave or extra steps needed. You can do the same thing for roasted red peppers as well.











  • So I can give you the rough proportions, but I eyeball it at this point.

    Take a hearty glug of oil or lard and throw it in the bottom of a ripping hot pan, throw a diced onion in, and your rice. You’re going to want to stir and shake the pot constantly until a few of the grains of raise are golden brown and the rest have turned white. Get them all nice and toasty. Just before that point I throw in a handful or so of finely diced cilantro stems just until they bloom. I have a pitcher of water and tomato consume’ or knorr tomato seasoning at the ready before I throw everything in the pot. So when everything is done I flush the rice with the water and stock powder, I bring that to a light boil and then throw it on the back burner, barely simmering until done. Sometimes I’ll throw some red beans or diced tomatoes, green peppers/whatever chilis I pull out of my garden but thats it. Finish with chopped cilantro. I know that’s kind of chaotic, so let me know if you want me to clarify anything!



  • I have 11 hens and a rooster. Im getting almost a dozen eggs a day right now, but that’s not usually the case. Those Lil ladies are spoiled. Definitely happy. I built them a chicken jungle gym i keep adding too and they roam around and get fed a ludicrous amount of veggies scraps from the garden.



  • Ingredients: 7 large eggs. 1 bar of cream cheese 1 cup of milk 1 can of sweetened condensed milk 1 can of evaporated milk 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract A square of butcher paper 1 large glass pan or casserole dish Place the butcher paper in the pan as a liner Blend all of the ingredients in a blender or with an immersion blender until frothy and pour it into the pan, trimming large chunks of the butcher paper if you have allot of excess. Throw that in the oven at 350° for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

    Allow to cool, flip it and slice. Can be served hot or chilled. I also throw a steel pan with a couple inches of water in the bottom of my oven while it cooks, but that’s optional.

    (I use my chickens eggs so if a few are small, I’ll throw an extra 1 or 2 in)
