They’re certainly not here, judging by how a good fraction of this site would go out of their way to treat them like shit.
And don’t even get me fuckin started about how people treat trans men on this site. It’s fucking disgusting. They treat trans women great! But trans men are all awful sexist pigs, apparently.

It's ok just ask him if he's hungry, needs to go walk, wants water, etc. Two year olds are okay about knowing needs except for pottying stuff. They're still working on that. If he's potty training you can give him a treat after he goes successfully on the toilet. If he's still in pullups, you're stuck with stinky changing. The 2yo I work with like having books read to them if that helps.
he’s doing good right now and he’s got some kiddie books in his toy chest he mainly just likes feeling because the pages have different textures lol

Hi space mom. We don't know each other but I'm an astrophysics major who flows your blog. I heard what happened and that sucks, and I hope for the best and wish you a merry Christmas.
Thank you <3 and merry Christmas! I’m.. trying. I’m trying to treat this as a minor setback. I moved on and did a That Bitch move because I’m fueled by Spite. I’m published. I’m known. I can self publish if I even need to. I’m going to self publish. I’m going to conferences. I’m… raising eyebrows by being quite unorthodox but fuck it! What great scientist ever was! What great scientist wasn’t a fuckin weirdo? Fuck it I’m being weird and I’m doing things my way.
a special treat for those of us who enjoy watching sam reich torture his friends and/or employees

[Q] : Were the boys nice?
[S] : Were the boys nice… Of course they were nice! But they didn’t treat me any differently which is very good you know… My backpack is [stops] actually no that’s a lie […]
Every time these dipshits use the "my A identifies as a B" argument, it's always as a way of finding a loophole in a rule. Because that's what they think being transgender is.
This is a truck. You load it like a truck. You unload it like a truck. You treat it like a truck on a regular basis, and you only call it a Prius to get around rules for trucks.
The DOT has rules for what counts as a truck, which are usually based on the size and weight of the vehicle, or the purpose it's being used for (such as personal or commercial). Even if your request to call it a Prius were honored, you'd still be subject to those rules.
Also, you clearly said "this truck". If it doesn't identify as a truck, then saying that would be considered misclassifying it.
DOT: "You're being fined because your truck is overweight."
Truck Driver: "Actually, it identifies as a Prius."
DOT: "In that case, you're being fined because your Prius is overweight."
So I submitted a thing on how we should vote no on CA Prop 22, and we absolutely should, but we should also take away a very important lesson from the battle around it.
^This is DISGUSTING^
These multi-billion-dollar apps are spending hundreds of millions to not have to treat their drivers or deliverers as employees because if they’re classified as contractors they don’t deserve the same benefits or protections and it makes it harder to unionize because the only people who work for you are already scabs.
And yet we’re being gaslit to believe most of these drivers want the “flexibility,” despite the much greater desire for stable income and health benefits because America can’t get its shit together enough to provide 21st century healthcare. “New benefits” doesn’t speak to the quality of benefits at all. “Choos[ing] independent work” is a fun little way to say “the only choice we want to be possible for you to make is being an independent contractor.”
But it’s worse than that. Because these ads are all paid for by the companies who would benefit from 22, when they say “it would eliminate jobs” it should be considered a threat. “Fine,” they say petulantly, “If you want to lower our profits to force us to guarantee basic standards for workers, we’ll hire fewer people and make our service worse.”
Seriously, why are we trying to work with companies at all? So much of our taxes go into subsidizing these companies and we still have to beg them and fight it out in the courts for them to provide the most threadbare protections. American labor is exported to China (et al.) because it’s easier to circumvent human rights there and the response from both liberals and conservatives is to make America more “business friendly,” but when it comes down to it that means not protecting those rights here either.
And the worst part is that they’re decreasing taxes and making the government smaller but instead of letting the onus of welfare rest on private companies, they’re deregulating those too, so there’s millions of people who are going without what should be the bare minimum of human rights.
We’re so focused on employment statistics we lose sight of the fact that we shouldn’t have to rely on employment to receive healthcare or food or shelter but also that if we do force that reliance we shouldn’t allow companies to underpay employees or shirk providing benefits.
Trying to work with companies instead of fighting them can never work. We can pull all the levers and turn all the valves we want, but in turn companies will always work their machine to keep as much profit as they can.
This is why we need to either tax the rich and corporations to fund welfare or regulate corporations to advance workers’ rights instead of eroding them. Ideally both. Not to be a total communist but seizing the means of production and ending the artificial scarcity leveraged for profit would be much more direct.
