1. They also put him in a dark closet by himself to “calm him down”

The bigger mystery to me is, who watches these videos? Who follows these people and wants to listen to basic people spewing basic shit for 45 minutes, which could be condensed into 2 minutes but they stretch it out foreeeeever to get more $$$$?
I have some experience with this. Being sent away/“rehomed” is profoundly traumatizing, even when it’s in a divorce situation, with the child in question moving from parent to parent. It doesn’t matter how nurturing the parents are. The child internalizes it as a problem with them, and the sibs question whether it can…
Yeah, these people are gross, but it very well could work out in the child’s favor. Being raised by these parents would probably not be in his best interest.
That’s the part that really gets me too - they’re sharing info about his life and his medical situation that they have no right to share. Doing so isn’t in his best interest, it’s just in theirs, because they want to make sure that no one thinks badly of them. They’re clearly not equipped to be good parents to him,…
On #3. Besides from the fact that the kids could go ‘oh heck, they could get rid of ME’ and how fucked up that is, it could also go ‘well, if I don’t like something/someone that is different than me, I can just get rid of it/them’. Really messing up future relationships, both familial, social, and professional.
My friend was given back to the adoption agency after his first set of parents decided he was too sullen as baby. I think good riddance to those people, he ended up with a loving family and was too young to really remember that first family. These people publicly documented his stay with them so it’s out there…
A few things to add color to the discussion:
I once had to capture a loon who had landed on a road near my cottage in Ontario. Loons can’t take off from land - they can barely even walk - so this guy was in trouble. Watching him try to take off was brutal; it sounded so painful, and he was exhausting himself trying. (A conservation officer told me they sometimes …
I like being able to see the occasional bald eagle.
I’m team loon only in loon v Canada goose. Bald eagles are fine.
When I wasn’t exercising: I’d go a day or two without showering. It was fine.
Exactly. This could have easily been avoided had the ownership class and their GOP minions actually given a shit about people over profits.
Wall Street needs a massive bailout... you got it!
Giant corporations that had record breaking year over year profits now need a huge bailout... take it, it’s yours!
Fossil fuel…
Trump’s inability to grasp that other people actually have thoughts, feelings, and worth beyond how they relate to him is pathological. That is really the core of Trump—every other person who exists, in any particular moment in time, either furthers Trump’s personal desires, and is an ally, or frustrates Trump’s…
I wouldn’t say that Capital wants people dead. It just doesn’t care that people die as long as the balance sheets are coming out more positive. If nobody dies and capital increases, great. If everybody dies and capital increases, also fine.
This is one of those moments where the phrase “class war” becomes as literal as it can get. It’s also the moment where the governing class’ typical strategy to deflect from class warfare (namely, divide and conquer) becomes as transparently obvious as it can be.
Dear Amy,
Moderatess are shameless in their protection of “real America’s” delicate sensibilities at the expense of black bodies. God forbid we call racism out by its name. George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor have died in a matter of days from each other. They died from centuries long white supremacist, state sanctioned…
God is saying that Donald Trump is a murderer and #justiceforcarolyn is trending on Twitter right now. At the same time Twitter labels Trump tweets with a FACT-CHECK warning for the first time.
