「Religious Charities」

This is kind of on a whim, but i've been catching some more episodes of hot bench and judge judy, and on that i've also been catching some more holiday advertisements from the Union Gospel Mission and the Salvation Army non profit groups. I get stuck of course though when thinking of like, any of the numerous anti lgbt tumbled stumbles and shittery the two organizations have gone through.
The abuse of using their position and reputation as non profit charities to push out discriminatory views on those reliant in them is gross. And then secular non profits get the short end if the stick because they have less support; not to mention government funded housing or food services.

Feel free to give your own thoughts stories (anecdotal or from news sources), i just kinda wanted to get this discussion out; I'd love to hear other thoughts :)

「FLORBS FASHION FEST CHAPTER 1: SHOES」

WELCOME TO FLORBS FASHION FEST

bitches bros and non binary hoes, its me, florb from https://lipbol.org, and today we're going to talk about the bottom of the fashion world, shoes

considering that fashion is a pic-heavy subject, this series of thread will mainly focus on sub-posts, where various fashions (in this case shoes) are rated with an in depth explanation of why they get their ranking. the local blooper is my pfp because i'm a tripfig or smth idk the colloquial lexicon of futaba style image boards. BUT, that's enough rambling; lets begin!

「How to be nice to global south countries as a birth citizen」

“ palestine, sudan, ukraine and congo are right now suffering. the west could interfere, but nothing happens...
damn i think we should discuss this in libpol instead of here. opworm would be proud tbh”
And also sometimes when the west DOES interfere it steals from them or hurts them too : (

「autism as a wilful, chosen trait」

if neuroplasticity is a thing, can't autistic people just "exercise" their brain and get better at the things they are defficient in?
or is autism something inherent that cannot be trained out in this way?
