Truly curious: do you fit the description of a young, female, middle American?

Agreed. Here’s my unsolicited rewrite

What Going on Call Her Daddy Did for Kamala Harris | Podcaster Alex Cooper reaches young, female Middle America in a way conventional news cannot.

Maybe sort by “date” instead of date & site?

Sounds like someone could use some more shut the fuck up Friday in their life 😘

That’s an interesting idea. Do you write a blog or something where I can learn more?

Armchair General here. When they moved their aircraft further back, Russia greatly reduced their range and ordnance options while increasing the time Ukraine had to prepare for the strikes. Similarly, Russia splitting up their stockpiles to reduce strike effectiveness will have a significant impact on Russia’s already-strained logistics network. That’s the same reason why a relatively low volume of ATACMS has had such a substantial impact on their ability to wage war.

I’m not autistic, just ADHD, so please stop me if I’m invading a space where my commentary isn’t welcome.

You didn’t recognize that the girl in question was setting boundaries, which isn’t your fault, but I’ll get back to that in a minute. From her perspective, she made it clear that she wasn’t interested in you romantically, but she felt like subsequent actions still had romantic intent, like spending a lot of time near her and chatting. The way she was communicating with you wasn’t working, so she tried asking a friend to find an alternative resolution. I don’t want to get into the details of defining what “creepy” might mean to different people, but what’s important is that she felt unheard and wasn’t able to influence her environment to meet her needs. And that sucks for anyone.

Autism makes it hard to understand subtler forms of boundary setting, but you can totally learn how! I had a poor time understanding and respecting boundaries because throughout my whole childhood, my boundaries were never respected, nor were anyone’s boundaries in my childhood environment, so I never learned. And the things I implicitly learned where downright harmful. I may be projecting a bit, but I suspect you have a difficult time both setting and respecting boundaries because you haven’t been taught. Personally, I loved the book (or audiobook) Set Boundaries, Find Peace by Tawwab. It walks through a bunch of conversation examples regarding setting boundaries, which my autistic brother said is super helpful.

Can you clarify what you mean by that? It sounds strangely gatekeepy to me, but maybe I’m misunderstanding

Kindness is also hard (and takes practice). I believe in both of our abilities to keep improving!

In an environment where old men cling to every drop of power and control they can get, I’m super proud of Biden for putting his ego aside and doing what’s best for the country he loves
