I have thought about sending you an anon describing my particular take on death and such, but I'm terrified you'll say something like "Oh this is a lot like Johnathan "racism" Cumburg, who was both gay and homophobic. He was a 1600s wizard and he also believed that you could lick dirt to attain enlightenment, but only if you hated minorities hard enough" and then I'll Google it and he'll be real

You've done it! You've reduced studying the occult to it's barest essentials! It's like this forever!!!

It’s Cumburg all the way down

"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)

Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH

If you've ever seen images of sweatshops in the early 20th century, in New York or the UK or other developed countries

Guess what

Your clothing is still made in a place that looks like that. The only thing that's different is the tech level of the sewing machines and the race of the workers

Hey Tumblr.

So I have had...several medical procedures this year. Two colonoscopies...the first as a checkup for management of Crohn's disease, and the second three months later because the first found inflammation in my large intestine and the doc adjusted my meds. Second showed improvement so that's great!

I have also this year, after a Lot Of Shit, been diagnosed with endometriosis. My left ovary, in fact, is completely encysted in a 9.2 cm endometrioma. In one month and two days I am having surgery to completely remove the cyst, which will involve completely removing my left ovary. (Righty is hanging on and being a model citizen so far, no cysts at all currently.) After going back and forth with my care team and considering options, I'm going to follow their reccomendations and also undergo a hysterectomy at the same time. Right ovary can stay for now.

This, since American healthcare is a hellscape, costs money. I've done the regular measures to reduce the bills, but they're still adding up. I've maxed out my FSA already for the year and still have about $4,500 to go before I hit out of pocket maximum for my insurance for the year.

So. Any help to defray medical costs...the ones already incurred and the ones I'm about to...would be wildly appriciated.

Help support Iowa Rambler by donating or sharing with your friends.

If you can't help, that's fine. If you can, I love you.

Just was able to pay off the balance I owed yet for anesthesia for the second colonoscopy, crying a little, thank all of you SO much. Still have the yeeterus appointment coming up so anything is still wildly and gratefully appreciated, but already this is a huge thing off my mind.

Reblogging this again as the Yeeterus appointment is in less than two weeks.

Thank you all SO much.

what you experience is hyperfixation, which is pathological. what I experience is psychosexual obsession， which is also pathological, but in a darkly chic and subversive way. thank you for understanding.
