I immensely dislike the way people act like the goal should be to get everyone, everywhere, to stop smoking anything at all, forever.

Humans have been smoking shit since we first figured out how to light things on fire. Humans will always smoke. You will never, ever, EVER get everyone to stop.

The GOAL should be better safety regulations for what goes into smokes and vapes, better social support networks for people who want to quit, better safety nets so that poverty and stress and unmedicated conditions don't drive people to smoking as self-medication, and the creation of effective safe-usage sites where people can get their fix without impacting others unnecessarily.

Smokers aren't evil cackling villains who want to personally pollute your air. We're just...people. Personally, I probably wouldn't have started smoking as much if I actually had access to some ADHD medication. But that costs a fuckton of money and requires a doctor who gives a shit.

Pack of my preferred smokes? That costs $5.

not to sound like the joker but im not fucking around when i say weird al covering killing in the name completely seriously and not changing any of the lyrics at all is a very scary statement about society rn......... a man who built his entire career on whimsy and being sort of family-friendly doing a sincere rendition of killing in the name by rage against the machine. we've awoken Serious Alfred. we're so fucked.

It took me a long time to figure out that being “smart” isn’t just some all encompassing never changing truth about a person. Pretty much nobody is a complete idiot in all things and pretty much nobody is a genius in all things.

When I was a kid being “smart” was what I had going for me basically. It was the one good thing that everyone seemed to agree that I was, so I clung onto that.

But then I grew up a bit and realized that I’m kind of an idiot. There’s certain things I just learn slower than other people. Things my brain and body just won’t do. This realization kinda messed me up for a while. Surely being smart is something you’re supposed to be forever all the time.

No. Everyone is kind of an idiot, turns out. The human mind isn’t capable of calculating the best and most logical response to literally everything there is. If logic even applies to any given situation.

The flip side of that though is that pretty much everyone is smart if you take the time to get to know them. They’re good at different things than you are.

One of the things that made this really hit for me was when I was catching up with one of my cousins and I was like man you’ve got a career, you were in the marine band, you’ve got a partner and a house and here I am unemployed and going nowhere. But then my cousin was like what are you talking about you have a masters degree and I can’t stay in college for one semester without dropping out I’m an idiot compared to you I can’t commit to anything that long.

And that’s when it hit me. We’re both idiots failing to accomplish our goals and we’re both very smart and accomplished people. Our idiocy and accomplishments just fall into different places because we’re different people.

Yeah you’re an idiot. But you’re also so smart. Because you’re a human. You contain multitudes of shades of idiocy and brilliance. That’s what keeps the world going around. We can specialize. We can fill in each other’s shortfalls.

Moral of the story, don’t build your whole personality around being smart but don’t assume that you’re dumber than anyone else either.

Tbh germ theory DOES sound crazy. Like if you told a regency-era nobleman that tiny creatures lived on the surface of everything and THAT’S what causes consumption, they’d be like “ah, I see you are a lunatic. Would you reside in my hermitage? Rantings and ravings do so amuse my guests”

I love a good pop banger that peels ur face off I need it to be vibrant stimulating textured noisy dreamy glittery and filthy . When I complain about pop it’s bc a lot of it does none of this. I heard espresso for the first time the other day and I was like oh….. this is nothing. It makes zero commitments to anything it has no shape or color I think I’ve actually heard it a million times at work but never noticed it sandwiched between Kylie minogue and pinkpantheress tracks it was just a void of nothingness that my ears would tune out

⛔Stop a minute‼️

Get to know Hashem's family

My name is Hashem from Gaza. I am 32 years old and my wife, Samar, is 27 years old. We have a child born in the eighth month of pregnancy. His mother was premature because of my wife's fear of war. My large family consists of 8 members: my father, mother, four male brothers and 2 females. My father died in the war due to a lack of medicine in hospitals as a result of the fierce war on Gaza.

My story began when we were displaced from our home in northern Gaza in mid-October 2023 after a letter threatening eviction, and then the house was targeted and destroyed. Between this Exodus and the current fifth Exodus there are many stories and sufferings.

We now live in plastic tents, which are thermal ovens, which are not suitable for living and do not provide the minimum necessities of life, in addition to the spread of epidemics and diseases, which puts our lives in danger.

Through this campaign, we are trying to collect enough money to meet our needs and get us out of the Gaza Strip safely. We ask you to stand by us and protect us from this severe danger.

and the thing is. this cultural belief in the prevalence of “drug-seeking behaviour” has really fucking awful consequences in many contexts. in australia, there have been multiple cases of first nations people being denied their medication(s) while being held in custody. because they’ve been understood through a drug-seeking lens as opposed to a healthcare-requiring lens. there have been deaths as a direct result of this. and of course many people, at least here on tumblr, have no issue condemning the behaviour of police and the “justice” system, but we have to remember that the medical system is also complicit in this. war on drug rhetoric enters patient charts and it stays there, and it restricts the ability of already vulnerable people to access healthcare, especially as they enter increasingly vulnerable positions (as in the prison example)

[identitty-dickruption]

Williams said she had seen women complaining of severe pain being given a Panadol, rather than having the cause of that pain interrogated. That is what happened with Ms Dhu, a 22-year-old Yamatji woman who died after being remanded at South Hedland police lockup for unpaid fines. In another case, a woman who reported feeling unwell to medical staff at Greenough prison in Western Australia was believed to be dehydrated and given water, before dying of septicemia. In 2010, a woman at Townsville correctional centre in Queensland committed suicide after being denied pain medication and medical care for a severe tooth abscess.

the above quote comes from this article from 2018, but this is still an on-going problem. if you can’t see the through-line from the medical system’s overuse of “drug-seeking” labels to this kind of shit in custody. well. I don’t know man. it’s pretty damn clear to me

taylor swift is a tyrant for real like value neutral judgement but you can tell in her music the specific point that caligula started visiting her in dreams

[polari]

she has this 3d-printed mini desk recreation of the bust of caligula with whom she communicates daily and in order to evade football’s suspicions she told him it was jesus and he was like Niiice jesus is actually awesomesauce ❤️ Like jesus helps you with touchdowns🏈🔥 and she was like yess exactly and then asked caligula in perfect latin if he could connect her with the ghost of genghis khan so they can talk strategy

"I would never-"

You would if you were tired enough. You would if you were hungry enough. You would if your mind and body had been worn down enough, through pain or disease or toil or violent struggle. You might if you were put on the wrong medicine, or you got the wrong kind of head injury, or you were forced to choose between someone else and yourself. You might if your livelihood was staked on it, or all your hopes and dreams. You might if you didn't know what else to do, if it's what you were taught or if nobody taught you anything else.

I have not been worn down in most of these ways. I have lived a remarkably privileged life. But I have been worn down in some ways. And they were enough to teach me that in the wrong circumstances, any of us can become someone we don't want to be. It's worth keeping that in mind.
