It bothers me so much that the healthcare system relies so much on the patient's ability to advocate for themselves, organize their history, and be so persistent against every medical “professional” who says there’s nothing wrong/they can do. But so many struggle with fatigue, brain fog, and face such ingrained systemic barriers, that the people who need and deserve help and support can’t access it.
I saw something recently that resonated with me: “Access shouldn't depend on who has the energy to fight for it.” And I’ve never agreed with anything more.
i just got the "see where your blood has gone!" email from giving blood but it glitched and just showed me my current location. which. theyre not wrong. that is where most of my blood is
this is exactly how non kinsters sound when they jump into kink discussions to say "yeah! it's fine as long as you're all consenting adults!"
okay, and lastly Any Other Business? no? right, meeting adjourned, time for the cuddlepile
How many cuckchairs does a person need, jesus
The Cuck Counsel will decide your fate
I would say this is the post that made me explain cuckolding to my mom, except she already knows because of our one neighbor down the street with 1) a massive Vote Trump sign and 2) a truck absolutely plastered in cuckolding fetish stickers
#flawless combo #clearly a man who just enjoys watching someone fuck *everything*
I’m going to be honest, I have spent a LOT of time contemplating the psychology of the trump cuck truck household
could you do an aroallo nickit please? i love your foxes :D

i also have a beautiful calico lady, every time i take her to the vet, they bring up her “calico attitude.” (She understandably hates the vet and makes it known.) I’d never had a cat before her and hadn’t heard of stereotype term. I never thought of my kitty as short-tempered but I don’t really have a reference point for whether or not she is grouchier than others. Have you noticed if Pizza has more or less attitude than other cats? Or is this just a silly stereotype lol
surprisingly, it's the first time I hear of such a thing
Pizza's 'attitude' at the vet's office looks like this 🥹
reminders i need to like, tattoo on my brain:
1. if you feel judged and hurt by others, try sleeping
2. if you feel judgmental and resentful of others, try eating (the classics)
3. if you feel uncomfortable, try showering
4. if you feel directionless and afraid, go sit outside for a bit and maybe then you'll calm down. maybe even a walk if youre feelin crazy
5. take it easy, but by god, take it
oh and how could i forget. final boss. take your fucking medication
When child sexual predators are caught, if you pay attention to how they spoke about child sexual predators before they were caught, a very large percentage of them would be death penalty advocates.
But how does this make sense? Why would the people who commit a crime advocate for the death penalty as a punishment for that crime?
Well, it's actually quite simple once you understand why the death penalty exists. Authoritarian societies want to normalize evil then kill one evil person every once in a while in order to maintain the illusion of opposing the evil. Authoritarian societies also want to allow evil from the in group while unleashing the full power of the law on the out group for the exact same evil.
When you realize that, it makes perfect sense why so many child sexual predators support the death penalty for child sexual predators. It allows them to appear good while doing nothing to actually make the crime harder to commit.
While you see many child sexual predators advocating for the death penalty, you very rarely see them advocating for believing victims, for dismantling power structures, or for ending the normalization of it. And that's because they're not going to advocate for something that actually works.
to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube
they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!
i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies
Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚
Also just a handy, DIY air filter in general, if a bit bulky. For a less bulky and cheaper (but also less effective) solution, you can simply tape one filter to the fan, cut a shroud if you'd like.
just FYI, this is quite literally what the climate scientists at my work who specialized in wildfire smoke impacts recommend. it works great, it's cheap to make, and it will make a noticeable impact on your air quality.
i have asthma & keep one of these running in my room perpetually. after I set it up the difference in my sleep quality was pretty much night and day. Dont waste your time on proprietary air filters; SIMPLY bust out the duct tape
why do americans think everyone on the internet lives in the same place as them. just saw someone say honeybees are "not native". not native to where????? the entire planet?????
saw a photo of garlic mustard somewhere on the internet once and americans in the comments were like "fun fact this plant is invasive so you should definitely tear out any you see, WITH THE ROOTS so it won't spread!" whole fucking time i'm living in garlic mustard native range. i don't think i will be doing that.
This drives me absolutely up the wall in r/birdfeeding. Every time there's a picture of a house sparrow, the entire comments are filled with americans talking about them being invasive and how they should be basically killed on sight. But often OP has not provided a location, and house sparrows have a HUGE native range. Here in the UK they're not only native birds, they're on the decline, they need our help and protection.
Me every time I see a post saying that you should destroy your lawn and cram a bunch of native plants as closely together as you can instead. Look, I'm not saying lawns are native to Australia because they're not, but our native plants evolved to burn; they are dry, their leaves are dry, and they're full of oils. If you plant native plants the way Americans tell you to that's a fucking fire hazard and you are endangering yourself and your neighbours next time we have a Black Summer.
My friend @ryttu3k linked me a great PDF on planting a native Australian garden in such a way as to reduce its status as a fire hazard!
tapping onto this, Ry's guide is for a specific part of NSW. Australia is a very very big place and there is a lot of biodiversity. So don't take one guide as The One True Guide because I used to be a ranger and lemme tell you, trying to stuff native plants in terrains they are unsuited for just creates a mess for everyone. Honestly, just google "native planting <your council> " and they will have a guide that is specific to your area.
I refuse to let this be lost in the tags
it's actually crazy like kind of unbelievable how much racism ppl just expect you to put up with to be polite. like i have so many little experiences where a friend-of-a-friend said something awful and racist to me and i am very clearly hurt and upset and then the friend just expects me to be polite and not say anything not react not even be angry. like when ur not white ur never allowed to be angry. if ur angry ur being too aggressive. you never get to expect an apology, either. expecting an apology for the racist way people hurt you is always asking too much. you never get an apology. you never get to be angry. you never get to say it hurt you. you're just supposed to pretend you didn't hear it, didn't read it, didn't notice. you let things go because it's the only way to have friends.
Not derailing at all! This is. Horrifying. But it is also an excellent example of what i'm talking about. The fact that correcting someone for being racist was seen as "disrespectful" while the actual act of being racist was somehow not. That telling someone something they said was racist is this huge dramatic offense while harming people of color is just No Big Deal, like it's just so normal to them. it makes you feel insane when it's happening to you even as an adult, it's SO much worse for children because of the dogfish position adults hold over them as people who are supposed to "know everything". that's really terrible, i'm so sorry
YEE-CLAW :D
"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.
people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"
they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited
