My Texan grandma was regaling our book club with childhood horror stories about screw worm encounters. Truly stomach-churning stuff.

New video! We're looking at how YouTube linquistically disarms us all in the false name of safety. Social media policies are explicitly designed to protect the worst actors while punishing only those who speak up against them.
YouTube is the online predator's best friend.

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet
Pixar CCO Pete Docter says they removed gay elements from ‘ELIO’ after finding some parents didn’t want entertainment forcing conversations with their kids they weren’t ready for.
“We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy.”

americans love replying to this post with their regionalisms and it makes me a little maudlin because it's such a display of americans loving being american in a time when america is not loving them back
the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent
