Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Going out to hang with friends because FUCK YOU MIGARAINE YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME okay shhh I won't yell anymore I'll whisper but I'm still going out. Release the Kraken.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... It is possible to be more horrible and insulting in an interview, but I'm not really sure how...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... This is a really great article about how much more nuance is involved in eating disorders than the media portrays and the ways we talk about it can impact how people view themselves. And then then comments full of fat shaming. Like, why? WHY!?!?
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Know what a migraine trigger is? Lack of sleep. Know what makes sleep hard? Pain from a migraine. Funny, right? On an unrelated note, does anyone happen to have a syringe of, Ooooh, like a nerve blocker or lidocaine or dry fucking ice or anything numbing they could bring over and shoot into my brain stem? Just a little bit? That would be awesome. Right side only. That's not really important anyway, right? I'd totally owe you one...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... So when you're in a "support group" for people with a rather miserable chronic, painful, and usually fatal disease and someone recently diagnosed admits not quiting smoking yet and gets "well if you aren't going to help yourself I don't know how you can even ask doctors to try and fix you" and "quitting is so easy I did it after x years" and "why are you killing yourself?" And then I explain that shaming and policing are pretty much the opposite of support and the thread is elebenty hundred posts long until finally I assign homework. Homework: Look up the words and concepts Autonomy and Agency. Write an essay explaining how they relate to a person's basic need to control their life and why respect for these two concepts is at the heart of any support group. Come back and explain your findings. Because I didn't have a sock of nickels handy.

via Facebook... It's time for "a Council of Christian Relations and a NAAWP in this Country." Because those poor Christians and white people have like ZERO representation anywhere in this country. I mean it's SO SAD how these poor persecuted Christians and white people have no organizations that represent them. Not that she actually meant it that way, of course. Totally misunderstood.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... It means many kids go without that lunch. Sometimes without that before class breakfast and after care snack. It means they go hungry.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Triggers A teen and his FATHER come back to school to hunt down a 17 yo and beat him.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... All of this. Pullquote: “All of us, as good people, are still naturally prone to doing bad things.” And “There is nothing that does more to perpetuate injustice than good people who assume that injustice is caused by bad people.”
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... No different really than the Taliban. And in writing to bet, given free rein, they'd be closer to ISIL than they'd like to admit....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... MY KINDLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED! The kindle support tech peoples were super duper nice and really wonderful and helpful and I liked talking to them and they even pronounced my last name correctly. And fixed things. Also, there is water running in the bathroom which I'm hoping is my brother taking a shower and not a burst pipe so I'm not even going to look because until I look it could be either. That is master level adulting right there. And we should be able to make an emergency run to the store today between snowstorms. Laundry and video games. Not in that order.

via Facebook... And this bit of fuckery, by the way, might could stop my spousal unit's retirement pay from being paid out. Because Coast Guard is part of DHS. But it's not like retired people need their money, right?
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Holy shit. See, you piss me off and then you go and do something that can be earth shattering. And you are absolutely right. ________________________________________ “A major stumbling block in providing such access is found in restrictive applications and interpretations of intellectual property rights by many in the pharmaceutical industry,” Tomasi said, adding “[The current system] can lead to total disregard for those who cannot afford the price of certain medical products and allow an imbalanced free trade system, and thus constitute a virtual monopoly.” The Archbishop also noted that most intellectual property systems only incentivize developing medications that accrue the biggest profits, which usually means companies spend the vast majority of their resources making drugs for people in wealthier nations. As such, businesses often fail to develop treatments for maladies common in poorer countries, such as tropical diseases, tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis, and Ebola. “It is most regrettable, therefore, that, due to an excessive focus on profit, we witness a preference within much of the pharmaceutical industry to orient research toward health issues that have greater market potential in wealthier industrialized countries,” Tomasi said.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Okay. Attempt to shut down brain. Some programs still running. Data may be lost. Do I want to wait for background programs to close? Dilemmas...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... That's because PETA is a monsterous murderous disgusting killer of living creatures and if PETA was on fucking fire I wouldn't cross the street to piss on them.

via Facebook... I'm pretty sure I need this. I'm pretty sure you need this. The world would be a better place if everyone had this.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I remember dancing with dad like this at parties :) Not nearly this good, but still fun.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Seriously. And I've joked about it, and I apologize for being an ignorant asshat and I won't ever do it again.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... No. No no no no no. Stop with this bullshit. No one owes you shit. *smashes head on floor* _________ "It's time for all the women in America, and all the men that love women and all the gay people and all the people of color that we've all fought for to fight for us now."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Ah, the Corgi demonstrates the natural diving ability of the breed...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Attempting brain shut down for routine maintenance. But also nommie. Dilemma.

via Facebook... " While Airbnb might not be the root cause of inequality and gentrification, they are enabling behavior by property owners and investors which directly impacts the housing supply for regular New Yorkers (in a city with a very high percentage of renters). This includes not only renting rooms and apartments to tourists that have historically been rented to residents, but also includes buying and renovating real estate just for the purpose of renting to tourists. Some of the intersections of Airbnb with gentrification are profound. Desirable properties close to Manhattan in under-priced neighborhoods are attractive to both tourists and gentrifiers. I noticed the large number of listings in gentrifying neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights and Bushwick."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... The U.S. Is staging a coup in Venezuela. No. No no no no NO. Get the FUCK out of other countries politics, FFS. We have destroyed enough lives and economies.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... All my technologies hate me. I switched interwebz and my laptop suddenly won't connect to the interwebz because something something filters something. Then my phone fell and the screen cracked spectacularly and I got a kit to repair it because I'm not sending it away for days and paying those prices but I haven't actually done it yet. And now my kindle has gotten wonky and the Facebook keeps freezing up AND WHY DO ALL THE THINGS HATE ME?!
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... And I think North Carolina just took the win for worst fucking state. Sorry Texas and Florida. #ncga

Something I hate: venereal diseases Something I like: vodka Something I love: velvet clothing Somewhere I'd like to go: Vegas, Vienna, Valencia Someone I know: Vinnie Naimo A movie: Victor Victoria If you want to play like and I'll give you a letter which you can use.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... We had a peanut butter and jelly fight. In my house. And had it cleaned up before my Dad got home. We didn't use red solo cups, but we did play spin the bottle.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Trigger warning for abuse Fuck these parents right to the bleach station where they can get their own bleach enemas.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Trying to explain that while The Monty Hall Problem did get von Savant a shitload of hate, the problem and the fascination is not about sexism, but about the human brain and the inability to intuitively grasp probability and what that means on a large scale when trying to deal with humanity and how this plays into the ability to calculate risk and the implications... Also pigeons get it right, showing pigeons are better at game shows and math. A losing battle because I'm not respecting feelings which matter more than WHAT THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS ABOUT. For my next act I'm going to try to teach a pig to sing.

via Facebook... This raises some really really great points that I hadn't thought of. " Disability advocates also worry about the risk of coercion. Not all families are loving families, and some might make clear to a relative that their presence is burdensome. Some might coerce in other ways. In fact, the Oregon law actually does not require a physician or other witnesses to be present when the lethal dose is administered."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... People still argue this one. I guess the church answer seems counterintuitive
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... As a tall person...I'm pretty sure this true. *climbs on counter to avoid getting hit*
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Yeah. I remember putting out milk bottles and getting the delivery every morning. And bringing soda bottles back to be cleaned. I remember washing clothes by hand on vacation, walked a mile to school up to 8th grade and took a public bus to high school. And we drank water from the hose.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... This hurts my heart. I lived in Philly and always have what money I had. Always.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... This is the best thing ever in the world. BEST THING EVER. SMASH ALL THE PATRIARCHY
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... " There’s no argument in atheism to suggest that you should hate or victimize or stigmatize whole groups of people" O.o Did the guy who recommend profiling Muslims really just say that?
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... No. No no no. This is not ever okay. "RCMP officers watched the children’s biological father bring his two-year-old boy and 18-month-old daughter out of the burning home. The two children were pronounced dead at the scene and their grandmother, who was also in the house, was taken to hospital, treated and later released. Documents obtained by APTN National News show the First Nation had a fee-for-service arrangement with the Loon Lake volunteer fire department. The fire department did not respond to the fire because the band was three months behind on their fire bill, according to a letter sent to the band by the Village of Loon Lake. The band was sent the letter on Jan. 30 and it was written by the village administrator."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... All of this. ""Developed" nations - true to their colonizer histories - are building castles with high-tech moats, militarized police and unaccountable detention centers They are attempting to cage the impoverished residents of their former colonies - now financially exploited nations - in untenable and perilous circumstances. Even more reprehensibly, the governments of Europe and the US view migrants in need as disposable, valuing their lives so little that they don't even try to save them from dying as they undertake their perilous journeys."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Sweet baby Jesus on a pogo stick. If this is the best and brightest of the GOP we need to just 86 the whole thing and start over.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Yes. Yes I can. You'd be surprised how much I can appreciate all the good days going forward forever.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... And BOOM! "The U.S. Department of Justice is preparing to sue the Ferguson, Missouri, police department over allegations of racially discriminatory practices unless the police force agrees to make changes, CNN reported on Wednesday."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Before you grab a woman to ask for sex? Yeah how about just don't. Loved every second.
