Change in blog focus
I haven't been very active here, and I think that's about to change for a little while. I had bariatric surgery two weeks ago -- the specific procedure is called Roux-en-Y gastric bypass -- and I need a place to talk about the boring, and sometimes gross details of post-op life.
Feel free to ignore or unfollow if this isn't your cup of tea.
I mostly just need a place to shout into the void.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: that hotline is forvo.com. It’s a pronunciation dictionary that allows you type in a word and see how it’s pronounced. They have multiple languages as well. Don’t see a word on there that you know how to pronounce? You can totally add it. Visit forvo. Help yourself.
that is much better than a hotline because you don’t have to actually talk to someone

Earlier this year Horgan sent a letter to governors in the states of Washington, Oregon and California asking to be kept in the loop on their plans regarding no longer changing the clocks twice a year. The jurisdictions have now chosen to stick with year-round Daylight Saving Time.
It’s time for British Columbians to speak up about the future of time.
The B.C. government has launched public consultation on how “time should be observed in B.C.” The online survey asks British Columbians whether they want change the clocks twice a year or keep the clocks consistent all year round.
“As our neighbours in the western United States move toward permanent daylight saving time, it’s a good time to think about what will work best for British Columbia,” Premier John Horgan said.
“I invite people to consider our options and take part in an online survey that will help us decide whether to leave things as they are or if it’s time to make a change.”
Horgan has been grappling with issue since taking office nearly two years ago. At one point. Horgan got more emails about the issue than anything else.
Most areas of B.C. move the clocks forward in the summer months and back to standard time in the winter. But there are areas in the province that do not change the clocks.
The online survey will be available from June 24, 2019, to July 19, 2019.

Oh hey I haven’t yelled about voting in a while
Reposting this because some of y’all need a reminding.
This is equally applicable to Canadians. We have an election coming soon, too. don’t lose sight of the forest for the trees.
be softer with you. you are a breathing thing. a memory to someone. a home to a life.

So when are we going to hear anything from Ben Shapiro screaming about how anti-semitic this is and an official condemnation from Congress? Never, that’s when, because accusations of “anti-Semitism” have been weaponized by the Right
my Google Fu has failed me. what did Pliny do?
Well, among other things he believed that there were 176 types of fish in the ocean and that bats had no blood while hibernating.
He also claimed that if a mensturating person got near you, quote,
must (Fermenting wine) will become sour, seeds which are touched by her become sterile, grafts wither away, garden plants are parched up, and the fruit will fall from the tree beneath which she sits. Her very look, even, will dim the brightness of mirrors, blunt the edge of steel, and take away the polish from ivory. A swarm of bees, if looked upon by her, will die immediately; brass and iron will instantly become rusty, and emit an offensive odor; while dogs which may have tasted of the matter so discharged are seized with madness, and their bite is venomous and incurable
I mean to be honest that sounds almost appealing in a metal-as-fuck goddess of ruin kinda way
Right? Like, I feel kinda cheated.
Want to hear a hot take?
Despite what modern core nihilism will tell you, the accidental nature and inherent meaninglessness of life as a biological phenomenon does not mean that our efforts are pointless but instead allows us all to determine what we personally desire out of life. It means we are free to pursue what our hearts desire, and so enables each of us to find our own unique meaning.
Also love is real.
And the majority of people in the world are inherently good-natured.
Queen guitarist Brian May, speaking with Terry Gross in 2010
TERRY GROSS: Have you heard the Muppets version of “Bohemian Rhapsody”?
BRIAN MAY: Yes, of course, of course!
GROSS: It’s really fun. Can I play that for our listeners?
MAY: Yeah, you can. Well, we’d had to have heard it because it’s us on the record. You know, they asked us if they could do it. And they said, “Look; we can sing this, and we can perform it. But we can’t really play it. So can we use your actual track?” So…
GROSS: Oh, I see. I see.
MAY: Generally we don’t let anybody do that. But in this case, because it’s the venerable Muppets, we said, yes, we’ll do that with you.
i legitimately cannot describe the feeling i get when i see like a 150k kickstarter for a fandom project or like ao3’s monthly fundraiser being filled within a week while people have to beg for money to buy medicine and housing and stuff and that shit is like 10k and it wont get funded ever or if it does it takes YEARS
like it makes me want to die lol it’s such a visible difference
yeah like it’s cute and all that critical role raised a ton of money but at this point they need to stop taking people’s money, period, and encourage them to donate to worthy causes.
I think posts like the OP’s are well-intentioned but missing a huge point:
Fundraisers for medicine and housing are profoundly immoral as an institution. We shouldn’t be having them at all. We shouldn’t accept them as the new normal and asking people to accommodate to them. They’re a way for us to shift blame for social conditions onto individuals. And of course individuals are going to be terrible at judging when to give money to other individuals because we’re making decisions based on such limited information. We never give money based on pure need. We give it based on factors like a) is the person related to me b) is this person my friend c) did this person have enough education and internet savvy to tell their story effectively using the correct language d) is this person hot e) does giving money to this person make me feel guilty f) does not giving money to this person make me feel guilty, on and on etcetera.
Fandom stuff is just commercialized fleeting entertainment. It’s not life or death. So the informational imbalance and shallowness of decision making doesn’t matter.
The two things shouldn’t ever be compared to each other. It’s like comparing dying people on a list to get the next kidney transplants to a side bet on a game of dominos.
I’ve reblogged some medical fundraisers in the past, and donated to them, but I’m never going to stop screaming about how fucked up they are. The answer is not to accept their existence and tell people to give more money to them, the answer is to reverse and destroy their existence entirely by collectively creating rational compassionate social safety nets. We can’t rely on individual people who happen to be in a generous mood voluntarily tossing e-money into poor people’s begging bowls. That’s just libertarian technofeudalist bullshit.
All of this! And also, as I have said before? Unless you are willing to never spend money on entertainment again - including movies, games, leisure reading, streaming services like Netflix, and so on - stop implying that it’s morally wrong for other people to do so.
