The toddler died after he was trapped inside a hot car while in the custody of a worker contracted by the Alabama Department of Human Resources, the state’s child protective services agency

As you might expect, there are quite disturbing details in the article.

According to two people familiar with the draft, it would eliminate the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse-gas emissions threaten human life by dangerously warming the planet.

The E.P.A. intends to argue that imposing climate regulations on automakers poses the real harm to human health because it would lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice, according to the two people familiar with the administration’s plan. They asked to remain anonymous because they weren’t authorized to discuss the draft proposal.

Even without being trans, life is not worth living. Everyone has always told me life would be hard, they're right. Its too hard and not worth it. There's nothing redeeming. Its just suffering. I don't want to suffer another 30 or 40 fucking years.

i don't know why I can't work up the nerve to just do it. i have a method. I've wanted it for years. Why the fuck can't I just do it and get it over with. I guess I keep hoping life will turn around for me, but it won't. I think being trans really seals it for me. I don't think people understand that. People don't seem to understand why killing myself is preferable to this. I don't understand whats so hard to understand. Clearly something about it just hits different for me. The alienation from others, my ruined body, idk. Nothing i say makes anyone understand. How is this a life worth having. Its misery and pain. Its endless. All i can think about right now is shooting myself.

Whatever, if I'm going to make another stupid post like this I should at least make an attempt to explain what exactly is so horrible about being trans. Even without being trans I still have no real interest in sticking it out but it is one of the main tangible things I can point to.

Complete alienation from everyone else. No one understands or sympathizes. Most people support forcing us to suffer like this. How fucking horrible is it to live in a society that wants to mutilate you. Who's people want to refuse you healthcare. People understand the damage, they understand it perfectly fucking well when its trans men on T. People everywhere will look at me like a removed freak, since I don't pass. Even other queer people don't understand. I'm going to lose my family. Good luck getting a job as a removed with no education or qualifications.

My body is destroyed. Destroyed by T, destroyed by depression. I have always hated my voice. I can hardly speak sometimes. It hurts every time I talk. I don't make any other noise. I don't sing, I don't hum, I don't do anything but speak when I need to. Voice training is a special circle of hell and I can't. Between that and my fucking ridiculous height I will never pass. I will always be a freak. I will never be happy with my genitals. Facial hair is awful. I truly lost the plot when ts came in. "oh just shave, lots of women shave, whatever" you don't understand. No one does. I truly don't understand how no one gets it. How no one can get that this is hell.

honestly even without the trans shit I'd still want to die. there's nothing here worth doing this for. its the nail in coffin. its always going to be there, its always going to cause me pain. so much pain. i want it to stop and there's only one way how

self harm

While I'm venting again may as well say this: I really want to cut myself. I remember what it feels like and I want that again.

This has always been one of my quirks, even as a young child, and I'm wondering if it might be autism related. I have always saved my money to an unusual degree. When I was maybe 10~ I remember being given money for some fair thing and only getting water the whole day so I could save it. My parents have noticed and commented on it many times, being a "penny pincher" etc many times. I always comparison shop, think about value, agonize over purchases etc. My friends will nag and nag at me to buy a new game they like but if I'm not sure I'll like it and get "enough" time out of it I don't. I'll try and do the math on how many hours and how many times I'll use something. I have always had a lot of money saved up for my age. Even when its not my money I'm spending I'm still incredibly cautious about not wasting it. I've changed my order before to save someone else a few dollars. I check when I'm getting paid probably close to every day. I don't need the money, I have plenty in my checking account and few expenses. I can't tell you why I care so much about it.

I am and have been for a while now, completely freaked out about being able to afford to move out.

I try to play off not caring about money a lot of the time, like when I'm hanging out with someone irl. I guess I don't want them to think us spending time together and spending is an issue for me? Like I can objectively afford it, plus its pretty rare (oof) so I try not to get freaky about it. Plus I enjoy spending time with people far more then it.

Any thoughts/experiences/advice would be appreciated! Low key I'm going on a trip with some friends and idk how much its going to end up costing me and its got me feeling all kinds of ways. It shouldn't be more then one paycheck though. Not necessarily posting because of that but thought it was worth a mention.

The law approved late Wednesday applies to those younger than 21 and calls for 15 years in prison for any violators, as well as a $50,000 penalty and the revocation of all licenses and permits of medical staff.

“Minors, having not yet reached the necessary emotional, cognitive, and physical maturity, are particularly vulnerable to making decisions that can have irreversible consequences,” the law reads. “Therefore, it is the State’s duty to ensure their comprehensive well-being.”
