Remember the time it was so hot in halifax that the lampposts melted because I completely forgot to post about it when I was actually in halifax so here it is 2 weeks late

[gentlemanbones]

They just look so tired and ready to give up.

I feel like a lot of people engaging in torture are not treating their victims as if they could have blood borne pathogens 🤔

Is what my wife said apropo of nothing as we were silently drifting off to sleep

[the-sacred-now]

Uh oh

Is what she said when I immediately reached for my phone and opened Tumblr instead of responding

[the-sacred-now]

@everything-you-feel-is-real I know by tumblr tradition that I'm to say "impossible, my posts never blow up like that," or "please don't do this to me."

But I feel in my bones that you are right. If this is to be my wife's moment of glory, I am willing to suffer notification overload, that the world may know she is funny. #MyFunnyWife

[dare-to-dm]

There was this one time I scratched up my cornea real bad and had to go to the hospital. Dealing with medical bureaucracy is always very frustrating to me, and that combined with the pain had me in a very bad mood. I was even crying.

I had to wait quite a while for the doctor to see me, but fortunately the nurse who was helping me had an excellent bedside manner and went out of her way to distract me. She expertly did this by getting me talking about books I'd read recently.

I went all in on criticizing the last book I'd read. I don't remember what it was, but I really hadn't liked it, and I denigrated it as "Misery Porn". And she was like "Hmm, that sounds interesting, tell me more". So I gave a general plot synopsis. As I was telling her that most of the characters were immigrant miners, she interrupted me to say "That's interesting, I didn't realize that there were mines in Missouri".

And at that moment time stopped for me and I realized that the entire time I'd been talking about the book, she'd been assuming I was talking about porn set in Missouri. I had just assumed that she had understood from context that when I said "Misery Porn", I meant "A story that is gratuitously depressing so that readers will think it's deeper than it really is".

Rather than being disappointed in our miscommunication, I was instead impressed with the level on non judgement she was showing me. Having a whole ass cheerful conversation about Missouri themed porn just to help a patient. I think about her all the time.

[dare-to-dm]

There have now been many responses to this post, but they almost all boil down to just 3 categories.

Nerds (affectionate): Actually, Missouri has many lead mines.

Health care professionals: This is just what working with patients is like.

Missourians: Missouri mentioned!

I’m not gonna platform this idiot but I saw somebody reblog a post from a radfem I think by accident. But the post claimed that men who hire prostitutes are “rapists who buy their victims silence”

I don’t think I need to explain to y’all why this is wrong but in case I do, buying a service from someone and following their rules as a client is not a breech of consent.

A lot of the danger that comes from being a prostitute has to do with its illegality. If a client breaks the rules and the service provider can’t file a complaint without risking imprisonment of themselves and/or their client, that’s not a safe work environment.

The idea that nobody would willingly sell sexual services unless they’re desperate is just false. There’s also a lot of other jobs people do when they’re desperate and they don’t like doing. For me it was working retail.

The difference between me pretending to be happy for clientele while working retail and someone pretending to be happy while selling sexual services to clients is that while I was working retail I at least theoretically had sick leave, health insurance, and a way to file a complaint if a customer assaulted me.

Sex work isn’t inherently any more degrading or miserable than any other kind of work. The issue is the lack of protection and workers rights.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Somebody told me that I should be executed for this post. A totally normal response I’m sure.

what fucking kills me is how transphobic and antiblack reactionary violence is always extremely out of proportion.

why does salem have so many blogs dedicated solely to screenshotting every single thing he's ever said? ive known him for years and he's been nothing but kind and creative. i will not entertain the idea that his entire life needs to be "documented for protection". You're A Fucking Stalker and you should be ashamed.

why does yay-bunnies have so many imitators and copycats that are less about "bunnyposting for transmascs" (something that was never not for them btw, they never cared about bunnies until after they found out it was tma and Black), and more about harassing it and stalking it and celebrating when it's blog gets deleted. why are all your "transmasc positivity spaces" solely dedicated to getting transfems banned? im starting to think you dont care about transmascs at all.

i think you're just racist transphobic pieces of shit.

[zelovinit]

GUYS IF THIS ISNT REBLOGGED IT WONT FUCKING BE SEEN.

[modernsuperhero]

Hey! I'm one to check sources and actually read through things with big, flashy, scary titles like this.

This is real.

For your own context, please actually check out the original substack:

The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons

The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them "recover." It's t

Basically, it's what's on the tin: they're going to mandate that gender dysphoria be "treated", as a medical mental illness.

Gonna eat my hands from how much tumblr is unaware of Bad Bunny

[cookietastic]

Bad Bunny been doing it and killing it before harry styles was doing it- he’s been wearing skirts and doing his nails just cause and it even got my older brother who is straight painting his nails cause he realized “yeah who give a fuck I like it” and bad bunny kissing men and women on stage being open about the LGBT+ community and speaking out to about the transphobic stuff that happened in Puerto Rico. Like it’s not bad for people not being unaware of him but it makes me wanna rattle people when I see them praising stuff Harry has done calling him iconic and the first of it all for this movement when people like Bad bunny,Prince,etc been killing it

[cookietastic]

Bad bunny be upon you

[cookietastic]

This is also VERY important to note + some people can’t read Spanish

[cookietastic]

Never forget

[gengarshade]

Just wanted to add more to this

Bad Bunny did half of the music video for “Yo Perreo Sola” in drag. And I cannot emphasize how much the genre is saturated with machismo bullshit and Bad Bunny just refuses to participate in it.

His video for “Caro” is also a celebration of breaking gender norms. Most of the video is performed by Jazmyne Joy as Bad Bunny.

Like I fully understand if you don’t normally listen to reggaeton or Latino music in general. But I cannot express to you how huge and popular he is. He is the highest streaming artist worldwide right now. He’s largely adored by every young Latino out there. He’s having a great time and doing amazing things.

blows my mind that cheetahs are apex predators. that is the single most anxious creature I have ever seen. at any given moment a cheetah is exactly one stubbed paw away from bursting into tears. that is a sad dripping wet animal, and it's at the top of the local food chain? babygirl what happened

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

things I learned from this post:

cheetahs regularly get bullied by lions, hyenas, crocodiles, and baboons

multiple people think this means cheetahs aren't an apex predator/belong lower on the food chain

which is how I learned humans equate social status with position on the food chain. (which is nonsense to anyone who's ever met, for instance, a moose)

an apex predator is just a predator without natural predators of its own. you can be an anxious pathetic mess, but if you're not getting eaten by your neighbors, congrats! you're an apex predator.

i look it up to make sure cheetahs are apex predators

I find out it's not uncommon for cheetah cubs (and very occasionally adults) to be eaten by lions, leopards, hyneas, and even eagles???

well that sure calls into question their apex predator status. out of curiosity i check to see if there are any animals that hunt lions

this is how I discover that cheetahs, lions, hyenas, and leopards will all eat each other's children if presented with an easy opportunity (and sometimes young/elderly/injured adults)

begining to wonder how useful 'apex predator' is as a term

in conclusion, cheetahs are so fast because they are fueled by Grade A+ Ultra Concentrated Anxiety and they need that speed to run away from their problems
