It’s honestly bizarre how hands on he is. Doesn’t he have anything better to do? Don’t answer, I know he victimizes protesters for fun and he’s clearly not interested in paperwork

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.

You joke, but my mom used to say she was 5’12”, because she was uncomfortable being in the six foot range.

No, it happens to me too, with every article from this outlet

Must be ugly men who can’t even get a lady to open the door for them…

But for real, I’m a woman who opens the door for people who are approaching regardless of their gender and I wish for few things more than exclusively women who say things like this to have to deal with the men who get all pissy at a woman holding the door for them

Roosevelt did pretty well in 100 days

There’s a gesture? I’m fucking old

Well yeah, but it makes me tired and food fixes it.

Maybe rephrase your comment if you don’t want it to be interpreted the way I interpreted it.

I used to think the sound of cicadas was the sound of sunlight, because it always seemed louder the brighter it was.

I definitely gain energy in a colloquial sense from food when I’m hungry.

Like, if I haven’t eaten much that day, I’ll want to nap around 16/17, then I’ll be alert and energetic again if I eat dinner instead of napping.

Thank goodness we don’t judge people based on their heritage, like Nazis.

I bet NATO would have defended Greece against Turkey, but that’s different. Somehow.

Would have been nice if you’d engaged.

notable difficult language

If it helps, this is relative. If you learn one tonal language, others are then easier to learn.

It’s probably actually an eyebrow/beard hair unless you really pissed someone off.

Ehh. If it’s a clump of hair, absolutely. If it’s one hair, we live in an imperfect world and it happens- please don’t waste food instead of just pulling the hair out.

If they’re an actor who can no longer act as a result of trauma, it could be partly lost wages.
