James Weems Jr., who was shot by his wife after he allegedly sexually abused children at her daycare in Baltimore County, can be released on home detention while he awaits his trial, a judge ruled on Tuesday....
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.
In the us. This varies across states but the stats remain overwhelmingly, Men are less likely to petition for custody, but when they do. Are more likely to get custody of children.
Once a restraning order or or dv charges are filed against a male in a custody dispute, they are more likely in the majority of states to get partial or full custody. According to a Supreme judicial court gender bias study.
That fair, lol. I’m never sure if anyone is going to be interested in my recipes, and my instructions and measurements are kind of chaotic, so I don’t usually type them out unless someone asks. I’ll go through and write it up a little later today!
Ok, my handwriting in my recipe book is illegible to anyone else, protecting my secrets. But I have a note in there that this is a rip off and this isn’t a “Goblin special.” So, for once I only have to drop a link!
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.

The world’s top chess federation has ruled that transgender women cannot compete in its official events for females until an assessment of gender change is made by its officials.
In what world is this a reasonable compromise? Your second paragraph also directly contradicts your first paragraph. You don’t see why there are gender based divisions, but also we should reinforce those divisions and in addition force transwomen to submit to "gender investigations? "
I made a massive pot of chicken and vegetable soup, and a big ol pan of Mexican rice for a Saturday food distribution a few weeks ago. I’m just trying to level up to a full-blown cauldron, but for now, I use my canning pots for giant batches of soup like this.
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!
Flan is surprisingly simple, delicious, and is one of my favorite desserts to make when my ladies go overboard on egg laying and we have some extra! I can post the recipe as well if anyone is interested!
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)
I’m also usually not the biggest “flan” of sweet desserts. 🙃
But it’s my husband’s favorite, he absolutely goes crazy over it as well. Not to mention, it’s damn easy to make and uses up eggs when we have extra, and my hens are kicking it into top gear right now.
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.
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!
Honestly I picked it up at the thrift store about a decade ago. I don’t really know much about it other than It’s definitely my favorite pot but it can probably use some barkeepers friend. I’ll get a better picture from the side for you. I’m trying to image search it but I’m not having much luck
“To say, ‘Is it the warmest for the last 100 years, or 1,000, or even 10,000 years?’ It’s a trickier question to answer,” Haustein said. “Before 1850 we didn’t have these observations, at least not enough to say something meaningful about the global mean.”
Researchers have documented temperatures from millions of years ago through natural sources like tree rings, ice cores, coral and lake sediments. This is the study of paleoclimatology.
Haustein said that comparing data collected through paleoclimatology to the temperatures this month suggests July could be the hottest month in 120,000 years.
