  • I should also say, I’m not sure what kind of luggage you have, if you have a Hardcase, a hiking backpack, or a cloth military type bag. But you absolutely need to make sure that’s clean before you put them back in. If it can be tossed in a dryer, that’s ideal but if it’s a hardcase or a case with any kind of liner that you can remove you’re going to need to spray the fuck out of it and let it dry, then wipe it out, or Scrub it by hand in a bathroom. Don’t sleep on pockets in that bag, or any of your shoes. This process sucks and you don’t want to have to repeat it or contaminate your next place.

    I know you may not have access to a shower in between those loads of laundry but you’re gonna feel a whole lot better if you can at least take a “truckstop bath” between swapping the contam and the heated clothes.

    Lastly, any item that you do have to toss. Please, please, sharpie bedbugs on it so nobody pulls it out of the trash and tries to re use.


  • Bedbugs are a bear to get rid of, you’re not going to successfully get rid of bedbugs in a rental. Period. That being said, you and all of your belongings are now contaminated. High heat will nuke them on your clothing. So here’s what you can do do decontam yourself and not bring them to the next place and not trash everything you own. Take all of your luggage and drop that in a garbage bag. Grab a can of bed bug spray for your shoes and head to a laundromat with some spare plastic bags.

    Remove one entire set of clothes. And throw them in a dryer on the highest setting or an hr. Take your shoes off and spray the fuck out of them outside. If you don’t have a good spot to leave them to dry outdoors. Put them in a second bag and take them with you. Take the rest of your cloth belongings and toss them in a dryer on high for at least an hr. Throw away the bag, when the first set of clothes are dry and you’re done handling any cloth that could be contaminated. Check through everything you own and make sure you spray down anything that cant be washed and that you’re not missing any cloth items. Very carefully strip. Put your current clothes in a bag and, tie that fucker up tight. Set the contaminated bags far away from your current clothes and then nuke those in the dryer. This will get rid of them on your luggage and body. Bear in mind those Fuckers jump so be careful with the swaps. I have absolutely done this while homeless/on the road. It sucks but you don’t actually have to throw everything you own away.



  • 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.

    I met a Hexbear in person once, they were DISGUSTING and VILE They smelled like beans and mushrooms and when I shook their hand they gave me a small rat and told me it was “one for the road”.

    They had green skin like a goblin and had a shirt that said “Xi is my god”.

    I didn’t feel safe. Be careful out there, and lock your doors too because I hear they steal your passive income.






  • 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)




  • You can use chicken thighs or beef, for this is took a couple pounds of chuck roast and cubed it. I also tried out a curry paste instead of going from scratch. The brand is Mae ploy. And again my measurements are a bit odd. Ingredients: Cubed beef roughly 2 lbs Mae ploy massaman curry paste about a cup. Lightly roasted peanuts about a cup or so, Oyster sauce 3 large glugs Fish sauce a large pull A pat of tamarind paste about the size of matchbook. A hand full of kafir lime leaves Palm sugar/brown sugar a small palmfull 2 cans of coconut milk Chicken stock 3-4 rough cubed potatoes 2 small onions

    Brown the beef in a pan and set aside.

    Separate the coconut milk solids or fat off the top of the coconut milk and heat it in a large pot, add the curry paste, stirring constantly until the curry paste starts to come together and dissolve adding more coconut fat/or milk if necessary, break up the tamarind paste with the back of a spoon into the paste/milk mixture. Don’t sweat it if it doesn’t dissolve the whole way yet. Throw the onions in the pot and let them soften slowly adding fish sauce, Oyster sauce, the sugar and the rest of the coconut milk.

    Next Add about 3-4 cans of chicken stock, I used a bullion powder so I’m just guessing here. Next throw in potatoes, beef, and lime leaves. bring it to a simmer while you lightly toast some peanuts in a separate pan and throw those in. I cooked it low and slow for about an hr or so or just until all the flavors came together and the beef softened.

    Serve it over rice with lime wedges, Cilantro, and crushed peanuts.

    Let me know if you want me to clarify anything and enjoy!
