Well…….not safely and legally, at least.

They began requiring it after and in response to that- that’s the James Frey scandal I mentioned.

Required to be published as a memoir.

Corroboration from others, photographs, medical/police reports, receipts, travel documents, the normal ways.

No, you have to bring receipts.

Medical records, photographs of bruises/marks, checking with friends or teachers you might have told about the abuse at the time.

My sister wrote one and had a publishing deal for one (as a prize for winning an essay contest), but she couldn’t prove everything. The memoir was about her dealing with some deaths and getting sober, so the unverifiable bits were most of the story. This was right after the James Frey scandal, so the publishing company bought her out instead of trying to pare it down or chase down a bunch of non-recovering addicts to confirm years old details.

I would have taken it like that from anyone else, but it’s so OOC that I checked the spelling to see if it was a novelty account

There was a time, in December of 2016, where I really thought that trump might come out as a democrat after taking office. I think I’d still prefer Gore had been inaugurated, if we’re changing the presidencies of this century, but trump coming out swinging for progressive causes (or at least socially progressive causes, because he’s been too rich for any actually leftist fiscal policies) would have been nice

Just read garashir porn, like people of culture.

I never took it in school, and I don’t have much contact with it now either. I’m picking up some Arabic now though.

I took Spanish from age 12-22 and German from 18-23 and 29-31.

I speak both those languages, though my Spanish is rusty, because I moved to Germany and don’t have much contact with Spanish speakers.

If that’s as bad as it gets, let your freak flag fly.

They can hunt them, just not very successfully

You could always sabotage it

I know several, but they were mostly born in Germany or immigrated young.

That’s not exactly how I would have imagined a kibblesmith smiths kibble, but as long as the pets get the cubes afterwards, I’m happy

“Grate” joke? Or did I get double whooshed?

Maybe she doesn’t know if she’s joking or not either. Only one way to find out!

Because you’re upside down

My sister and I are both tall and skinny, but also broader than shorter women. Like, my sisters ribs are all visible from every side and she wears a size 6 pants. I know short women who aren’t nearly as skinny for whom size six pants are too big.

If you’re an adult in no danger of pregnancy and not breastfeeding, licking the solder wire once won’t hurt you noticeably.

But if you’re worried that you’ll like the taste and might seek it out again, that’s a possibility.

I was straight up diagnosed with OCD as a child because they really didn’t want to believe a girl had autism. Throughout my life I’ve struggled with compulsions when I’m mentally struggling and had zero issues when things are otherwise calm (sometimes I’ll go years without any symptoms). I’d never thought of it as a stim, but it absolutely is a thing for me to focus on to release mental pressure/sort through inputs. That’s totally a stim.

Sorry to do the thing that this thread is about in the thread.
