My pronouns are she/they/fae
How to use them: She is so interesting, they love otters, faey're socially awkward.
Polyamorous demigirl!
I enjoy panda posts that feature comics, AITA, spooky/paranormal, history, memes and cleaning.
As for myself, I like to learn about anything and everything.
My topics of expertise are about otters, LGBT history/persons/flags/etc, music, history, animals/animal care, Spanish and certain mental health disorders.
I'm going into a Spanish translation and animal care career!
Feel free to send me pictures of pets! All welcome.
Stay groovy guys.
Chill yourself, don't kill yourself. I send you the best vibes I have to offer.

Women going missing from Indian Reservations across some of the US. Many are young women and probably being used for sex trafficking. There are some interesting podcasts on the subject.

Mass kidnapping of school children in Nigeria and other African nations and the only ones talking about it since 2021 is UNICEF. Edit: For the record, I'm speaking from an American's perspective who spent the better part of a decade serving in Europe/Asia with the military and can say for certain the only reason I'm aware of it is because of anti human trafficking awareness the US Air Force talks about constantly. I worked directly with NATO and listening to US AFRICOM talk about it daily and yet you NEVER hear about it in the main stream American media.

Here are things that would make your house a less attractive target than your neighbors: When you're not at home, keep your windows closed and locked. Use a bar to keep them from opening. It also helps communicate to the burglar that they would have to break the window to get in. Locking all your windows before you go out takes discipline. Throw away all of your locks. Not your knobs necessarily (though they may be junk too), but the lock cylinder inside them that your key goes into. Buy Medeco replacements for all your doors. This will prevent the use of super simple to make/use "bump" keys. Don't know what those are...google it and be amazed. 10-12 bump keys (you can get them at most gun shows and sometimes on ebay) can open 90+ percent of US home locks. Buy an alarm system. Some don't like these because it's a perpetual monthly fee. If money is an object, this one might have to suffer. If not, get the usual door/window alarms, but also get one for glass breakage, and motion. Buy motion sensitive lights and put them all around your house. Sure your neighbors will hate the false alarms caused by your kid sneaking out to hook up with his friends at the local pub, but removing dark places really sucks for burglars. Keep your junk in a safe when it's in your house. Credit cards, checkbooks, jewelry, and other stuff that a) is valuable and you want to keep it, and b) that could be used for identity theft, all goes in a safe. Oh, when buying a safe, if you're trying to save money, you're thinking about it wrong. You want a good one, and you want it BOLTED TO THE FLOOR. It's so easy to rob people who leave all this stuff out in the open. Don't do anything stupid like put a spare key outside your house. Rocks, lockboxes, whatever -- you might as well put a bow on it. Make sure your garage door and opener aren't from the 80's. It's too easy to buy/make a device that can open your garage. Get a newer one, they're much harder to deal with when trying to brute force the codes. If your car has a garage door opener in it, you now have to make sure your car is secure -- otherwise, break into your car and you can walk quietly into your home. And for the love of all that is holy, don't use your twitter or facebook feeds to let people know when you're going to be away from home!! Duh! Not one of these will prevent access to your home if the robber really really wants to get into YOUR house. However, if you do 6/8 to 8/8 of these, most robbers will move on -- it just won't be worth their while when your neighbor's upstairs window is always open. Climbing isn't hard.Reddit post

Having A Supportive And Generous Family
When all of my friends wanted to hangout at my house. It was something that I came to appreciate too late in life and with my family I am killing myself to replicate. I may have grown up poor in a wealthy area, but my home was always filled with love and attention from my parents who were good parents. All of my friends spent their teenage years as latch key kids, and always wanted to hangout at my place. I never understood it, and always wanted to get out of the house, but sure enough I was always hanging out with people at my place. It really struck home for me in my mid twenties when I ran into someone from high school I would hang out with. They almost immediately checked on how my family, made sure my parents were doing good, and stuff like that. I asked about his family and he gave me a brief update and kind of explained how his family was more like friends and my family was more like family. Many of my high school friends found my parents of Facebook and still keep in touch with them. My parents have helped save multiple marriages, give a lot of parenting advice to my old friends, and are god parents to basically a small army.
