i miss the golden era of ‘men get pegged’ posting. you all gave up on the cause so quickly
its because we’re busy practicing social distancing
With a long enough strap, both could be accomplished.
you’re right I was thinking like a quitter
Haven’t you heard? It’s all about gloryholes now - much safer.
ur twenties are weird. i have the priorities of a kindergartener again. i don’t know what in the hell is going on EVER. i like colors. i like soup. i want to take a nap
I’m in my thirties and feel this.
Naps are wasted on actual kindergarteners
I’ve seen a bunch of stuff going around about how people with EDS aren’t necessarily more vulnerable to COVID-19, and that’s definitely true, but I do wonder if we would be more likely to assume the symptoms are something else. For instance, joint pain: how am I supposed to know if this is my normal seasonal-change joint pain or additional plague-related pain? Exhaustion, same question. Fever? Apparently folks with EDS can run cooler than the usual body temp, so good luck convincing a strange doctor that my perfectly normal body temp is a fever 🙃
Same for transness (at least for transmasculine folks): am I short of breath from COVID or did I just wear my binder too long? 🤷♂️
Hey guys did I mention I live on a fucking weird island and sometimes land crabs with 8-inch claws try to get into my house
cute puppy what breed is he

Is that another kind of Updog?
God, I remember when I started sixth form (last two years of high school in the UK, seen as a more university style learning environment) and the teachers kept complaining about how quiet we were during lessons.
We wouldn’t talk. They’d tell us to do something and we’d just sit there quietly and do it, until eventually they just said “hey, guys, it’s okay to chat while you work!” and then everybody would start talking.
One teacher described it as creepy.
And I just remember thinking, what the fuck did they expect to happen? We’d all been taught from the age of four or five onwards that talking in class was bad. That if we did it, we’d be told off, or punished, or in some instances maybe the entire class would be punished along with us, just to make sure we really got the idea. It was a whole thing.
But now, because we were sixth-formers and therefore ‘grown ups’, we were suddenly expected to flip a switch and be able to talk as much as we liked? The whole reason we were in sixth-form was because we had worked hard, done well at school, and generally followed the rules— but still the teachers couldn’t understand why we didn’t just talk to each other.
Now I’m at uni, and seminar tutors are having a similar problem. People will talk in seminars, but a lot of them will insist on raising their hands and waiting to be called upon first. “Don’t put your hands up, just shout at me!” the guy keeps saying. But they keep doing it anyway.
Like, I really don’t know how to tell these people that you can’t train somebody to act in one way for over half their lives, and then suddenly expect them to start acting differently just because the expectations have changed.
I’m a teaching assistant at a university in the UK and something that struck me about our first years is how conditioned they are to ask for permission to do anything. In our classes you’re free to get up and leave any time you need to, but you still see students looking uncomfortable and nervously asking permission to go to the bathroom like they’re afraid they’re going to be thrown out.
Another huge problem is trying to get them to think around subjects and find solutions for themselves, because they’re so conditioned to just put their heads down and follow instructions step by step without thinking about it that when they hit independent work a lot of them are just completely lost. It takes months, sometimes years, to guide them back into the mindset of learning and thinking independently.
TL;DR Teaching kids that sitting quietly and doing as they’re told is the only way to get ahead creates a generation of young people who don’t feel comfortable thinking or acting for themselves, which is at best counterproductive and at worst insidious
I start all of my guest lectures and trainings by telling my students that they don’t have to ask me for permission to go to the bathroom and that they can engage in a way that works for their bodies.
So the Gus story mentions a mountain lion... what's the story of the mountain lion?
Nope.
I’m very sorry, but one of my massive panic attack triggers (and I mean that in the genuine psychological sense, as in “I will literally fold in on myself shrieking and inconsolable”) is being called a liar. And when I tell funny animal stories on the internet, I tell them very, very well, because I am a professional writer with extensive experience in animal rescue.
This inevitably results in a flood of strangers going “LIAR LIAR LIAR” and “PICS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN” and “AND THEN EVERYBODY CLAPPED,” and I wind up crying because I wanted to share a funny story with someone who asked. So I no longer tell animal stories to the internet. The internet showed that it could not play nicely with the other children, and so it does not get animal stories as a treat.
I really am sorry, but nope.
This is one of the great tragedies because I know folks who know you and have always referred to the kind of things that just happened around you as “The Seanan Effect” (or some equivalent) and they were like “Yeah, not only is it true, those are not the weirdest things that happened.”
(I have always loved your animal stories and I am sorry the internet drove you to this, but I understand. Individuals on the internet can be a delight, but the internet as a whole can be… a monster.)
Oh, yeah. Spend any time with me, especially around animals, away from a city, or both, and you will see some weird-ass shit. (I took an owl to the head during a flight show! The fog rolled in as soon as the hayride pulled out, creating a perfect horror movie moment in the corn!) I’m not the only person this happens to; I know several other weirdness vectors.
Most of us have gradually stopped telling true stories to the internet.
I am so glad to hear that I’m not the only person that sort of thing happens to!
I can’t believe this is real!
Wait, that’s what he wanted to do with the black paint?
This is one of the fire exits at work. I found out when the fire alarm went off. Apparently it has already been reported at least twice. I guess workplace safety isn’t a priority?
Reblog for a miracle to happen tonight
BITCH I REBLOGGED THIS AT 4AM AND SOME FIT GUY FROM MY HOMETOWN SLID INTO MY DMS at 11PM LIKE GIRL HONESTLY iM
Can the miracle be that I actually fall asleep at a reasonable time
I’m starting to feel like that miracle is falling into a deep sleep and actually waking up rested. Bless this post.
A miracle?
I don’t care how big or small I want one
I would like and could use a small miracle
MY MIRACLE WAS FUCKING AMAZING AND YEAH IT WAS TONIGHT INSTEAD OF LAST NIGHT BUT STILL
IT WORKED, PLEASE DO THIS YOU LITERLALLY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE
It worked…I had a long convo with someone I missed.
My naive estimate of the number of genders places it between 12 and 500. A very wide range, but clearly there’s people using “agender” to mean different things (and now we’ve gendervoid for the “cannot be gendered at all” crowd, which, is not a good word but we’ve nothing else) and there’s others we don’t know, but the claim that “everyone has their own gender!” is frankly absurd, and most “tumblr” genders are either from lack of vocabulary or considering bodymaps with nonhuman features genders
(Cont) I will TENTATIVELY allow the idea that particularly effed up (read here as animalistic or otherwise inhuman) bodymapping can combine and be a modifier for all other genders (that are not otherwise exclusive- I am also cynical about “closed genders”- ie ones limited to one culture) and maybe even that some further variations based off of the general form of inhuman mapping (my beef with everything is that “eunuch” doesn’t have an associated gender identity term other than “demiboy”)
I feel that everyone having a unique gender is more consistent than there being five hundred genders, unless you have a specific experimental method with which to discern them.
of course that’s the internal concept of gender, for the external genders that actually affect your role in society there’s still basically just three.
There’s only three possible numbers of genders. Two. Three. Infinity.
Bold stance: only one gender. Cyberman.
You can’t just throw the secret plan out there like that.
patient: please don’t kill me nurse: lmao okay snowflake, this isn’t a hotel
Way too accurate.
Similarly the nurse who went against the surgeons orders and did that to me then told my mom (not me, a grown woman) that I have anxiety and needed to be medicated instead of you know listening to the patient and the surgeons orders.
But the hospital isn't a hotel snowflake!
No, the hospital isn’t a hotel, but the person who sent the first ask seems to have it very backwards. See, at a hotel you’re just paying for a bed and for the room to be clean. At the hospital, you (or your taxes, in a decent system) are paying for care and help staying alive.
Was in my wheelchair for my gastroenterology appointment today, which was a whole Thing, but the winning moment was when I was exiting an elevator and a woman getting out after me calls after me "It's such an inspiration, what you're doing!"
... getting off the elevator? ಠ_ಥ
I dunno; I think being able to deal with non-disabled people and their Opinions and Feelings is pretty damn inspirational
If Stuntmen from the old movies don’t have your full respect then I just don’t know what to say to you
l tried really hard not to reblog this
Yeah, it is indeed really hard not to reblog a fucking thing.
Can we all agree that the man in the first gif is the manliest man in the world?
Are we just going to all silently acknowledge that the last guy is clearly dead and that we just saw him die.
HOLD UP FOR A SECOND
ALL OF THESE GIFS ARE ONE MAN
THE SINGULAR BUSTER KEATON
WHILE FILMING THE GENERAL
HE SNAPPED HIS NECK ON THE RAILROAD TIES AND WENT HOME AND ICED HIS BODY
AND CAME BACK FOR WORK THE NEXT DAY
HE ONCE GOT HIS HIP RIPPED OUT OF ITS SOCKET BY A MALFUNCTIONING ELEVATOR AND WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH HIMSELF FOR BEING INJURED
HE ONCE HAD TO FALL 100 FEET DOWN A WATERFALL INTO A NET
A STUNTMAN TESTED IT AND BROKE BOTH LEGS AND DISLOCATED HIS SHOULDER
BUSTER DID THE STUNT ANYWAY AND LANDED WITHOUT A SCRATCH
IN ‘THE HIGH DIVE’
BUSTER DID A TRICK DIVE THROUGH A CARDBOARD DECK THAT WAS CAMOUFLAGED TO LOOK LIKE THE REAL DECK
ONLY HE COULDN’T TELL FROM 100 FEET UP WHERE THE CARDBOARD STOPPED AND THE REAL DECK STARTED AND THERE WAS ONLY LIKE A THREE FOOT MARGIN FOR ERROR
AND WHEN HE HESITATED A SUDDEN BREEZE LITERALLY KNOCKED HIM OFF THE DIVING BOARD AND HE HAD TO JUMP ANYWAY
AND HE MISSED THE REAL DECK BY LESS THAN A FOOT BUT HE MADE IT
IN THE SECOND GIF HE’S RECREATING SOMETHING THAT THE ACTUAL GENERAL PURSUERS HAD TO DO IN THE CIVIL WAR
IF HE MISSES THAT TIE
THE TRAIN WILL BE DERAILED AND HE WILL DIE IN THE EXPLOSION
IN THE THIRD GIF AN ENTIRE HOUSE IS FALLING HE HAS ONE TAKE AND IF HE HAS NOT DONE THE CALCULATIONS CORRECTLY HE WILL BE CRUSHED
HE HAS AN INCH-WIDE MARGIN ON EACH SIDE
AND THE HOUSE LITERALLY BRUSHES HIS LEFT SHOULDER ON THE WAY DOWN
YOU CAN SEE HIS LEFT ARM JUMP BECAUSE HE’S FLINCHING FROM THE PAIN
THAT LAST GIF
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THAT JUMP
HE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO FALL AND THEY HADNT PLANNED FOR IT
BUT HE SURVIVED
BUSTER KEATON SURVIVED 100% OF THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE KILLED LESSER MEN INCLUDING WWI, TORNADOS, HOUSEFIRES, ALCOHOLISM, BROKEN NETS, CRUSHING DEPRESSION, THE DEPRESSION ITSELF, THE MCCARTHY WITCHHUNTS, THE END OF SILENT CINEMA, AND ABOUT 900 MORE OF THE STUNTS YOU SEE ABOVE
BUSTER LIVED TO BE 70 YEARS OLD
FATHERED LIKE FOUR KIDS AND EIGHT GRANDKIDS
HE CAME OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF ALL THAT
THINKING THAT LIFE WAS GOOD AND PEOPLE WERE WONDERFUL
BUSTER KEATON IS NOT JUST A STUNTMAN
HE IS A GODDAMN SAINT
BUSTER KEATON’S PARENTS WERE PART OF A TRAVELING SHOW.
THEY WERE ACROBATS.
THEY TOOK BABY BUSTER UP HIGH IN THE AIR WITH THEM.
THEY DROPPED HIM.
LUCKILY SOMEONE WHO WAS STANDING UNDER THEM CAUGHT BABY BUSTER.
THAT MAN WAS HARRY HOUDINI.
HARRY HOUDINI SAVED BUSTER KEATON’S LIFE.
if you don’t think that’s the coolest shit you can get right out.
he was blessed by houdini oh my god
This whole thing is so rad.
This guy is the polar opposite of the guy who got struck by lightning for the 7th time while fighting off his 21st bear.
this ot4 is very important to me
honestly i was just planning on doing this with steve and bucky but then i was like “let’s be serious they would both get lost and sam would be dragged along somehow and natasha would have to bail them out” so then this happened
This is adorable and amazing, but I can’t stop looking at Natasha’s arms. Even my arms don’t do that, but I’m kinda loving the probably accidental hypermobility representation.
If Bill 207 is passed, health care providers would be allowed to refuse service to any individual based on conscience.
Alberta‘s LGBTQ2 community is bracing for the worst as a private member’s bill, that would allow doctors to refuse patients based on personal conscientious objections, passes first reading.
“It’s a little bit scary for all of us in Alberta right now. We really don’t know what’s going on and we don’t know where this is going to lead,” said Holly Tom, president of the Trans Equality Society of Alberta.
“What we’re seeing with these types of legislation is … an anti-LGBTQ sentiment, whether they’re going to say it outright or not.”
Bill 207, introduced in the legislature by Peace River United Conservative Party MLA Dan Williams, is aimed at reasserting the Charter-protected freedom of conscience and religion for health providers. If passed, health care providers would be allowed to refuse service to any individual based on conscience, including religious beliefs, moral and ethical values and cultural traditions.
A number of health providers fall under the umbrella of the bill, including doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, pharmacists, and Emergency Medical Services, which has some worried that the bill would severely restrict access to health care services for sexual minorities and women seeking abortions.

Nov 17/019 But this is 🇨🇦…
This can’t be true.
This is Canada, and it is true.
I’m really getting tired of this disbelief or outright ignorance that nothing problematic can possibly happen in Canada.
This is Canada, and things like this have always been happening. It would be nice if our issues could actually be acknowledged and taken seriously.
It would be nice if we could start changing the conversation from ‘uwu Canada is perfect so this ____ problematic issue can’t be true’ to ‘oh no, how can we help you Canada?’.
Alberta is doing fucken WHAT NOW?!?!?!?!?
Okay, I read the article. I don’t give a fuck about your beliefs. If your a doctor and if someone is apart of the LGBTQ+ community, wants birth control/abortion. I find it fucken stupid and ret*rded that you’re a doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, pharmacist, Emergency Medical Services, etc. Your job is to do what you do.
If your ‘beliefs’ majorly conflicts with your line with work that you have to turn away almost all of your patients?? You need to fine a new career/line of work.
So basically? I’m completely against this bill as it goes against Canada’s free health care cuz this bill doesn’t sound like free healthcare in Alberta and, honestly the bill sounds like it will make so abortion is “illegal” which isn’t right when Alberta made abortions to be legal to do.
Starring out slurs is exactly the same as using them.
Maybe this has to be said, even though really it shouldn’t.
If you see a disabled person out alone, they are out alone because they know how to take care of themselves.
If they couldn’t look after themselves for whatever reason, they wouldn’t be out alone; they’d be out with a carer.
If they ask then obviously they do need a little assistance but it’s likely that the assistance is needed not from an inability to do the thing, but do the thing without accomodations they rely on.
But in general, disabled people who are out alone probably don’t need you help.
And because, weirdly enough, people seem to need to be told, this is especially true of bathrooms.
A shark mistaking a human for a seal is like a human mistaking an oatmeal raisin cookie for chocolate chip.
With about the same reaction on the shark’s part.
“Oh, ew? Well, I can’t exactly put it back now...”
