i do write for attention, actually, because that's a normal reason to create art
did you hear about that actor performing a play in front of a crowd? clearly only doing it for attention
im trying to say something and im not gonna say it in an empty room

The reason people are told "mundane before magic" is so they remember to do things like check whether they've got mold or carbon monoxide in their house before they decide the problem is a malevolent spirit, find out whether their health problems have a treatable medical cause before deciding they're cursed, and make sure they have a mechanic check their car once they hear funny noises instead of just casting a safety spell on it and calling it good. People get hurt if they neglect the mundane.
Be a shame if I contributed to widespread knowledge/resources.... https://archive.org/
I wish to purchase goods and services without entering a blood covenant that entitles the provider to email and text me forever and also store a bunch of my personal data that they’re going to apologize for exposing in a breach in the next five to ten years
I know there’s an existing post somewhere, but here’s the list of OBGYNs in the USA and other countries that will perform tubal ligation (aka female sterilization) without arguing with you
Gynecologists who will perform a tubal sterilization
It's worth noting that a bilateral salpingectomy, which removes the fallopian tubes entirely, will not only sterilize you but greatly reduce your risk of developing ovarian cancer while being just as safe as tubal ligation. Some sources estimate that 80-90% of ovarian cancer begins in the fallopian tubes, so if you were planning to request a ligation already I'd strongly recommend asking if you can get them removed instead, even if you don't have any family history.
Reblogging because I shared this resource previously.
My doctor explained that the failure rate of tubal ligations (or "getting your tubes tied" as it's commonly called) was relatively high compared to that of a full bilateral salpingectomy (which is a removal of the full fallopian tubes), and therefore the latter was becoming more common practice than the former.
Still, an important distinction to make and a great discussion to have if this is a path you want to take.
is there a show you’re still salty about its cancellation?
Is there a show you’re still salty about its cancellation?
Yes
No
Doll House, Dark Angel, New Amsterdamn (2008), everything else Fox canceled.
1899, Warrior Nun, First Bite, Dead Boy Detectives, Midnight Club, Archive 81. Probably a bunch more from Netflix I don't remember.
Fox and Netflix 🤝 shaking hands over canceled shows. lmao.
Moonlight (vampire show with the guy from the Hawaii 5-0 remake)
Firefly
Bitten
Beauty and the Beast (2012)
Sanctuary
Really, I could keep going (lord knows netflix and disney give you plenty of fodder). Most of my list is quality (imo) sci-fi that didn't get a chance to prove or resolve itself.
I think my favorite random Easter egg that tells me at least Firefly had an opportunity for growth in popularity is that it comes canonically from the same universe as the Alien films [I think the timeline was supposedly 200 years after the events of alien franchise if I rememberthe post right]. There was room for crossover and a fanbase with revenue potential right there for Fox to appeal to (their main complaint was that they didn't know how or to whom they could market the show, but they also didn't stay consistent with airing dates or follow the correct episode order. I'm still convinced some episodes didn't even air because of gaps in the story.)

Fun fact: (warning I'm kind of about to ruin the above joke) all the items that the witches used in Macbeth were actually plants. There's actually a neat article on it.
horror movies think they can be ironically self aware because scream is ironically self aware. but you are not scream
Hey remember when they found over 200 bodies of native children buried behind a residential school and the world cared for... what, a week?
They've counted about 6,000-7,000 now, for those of you who do still care
It should NOT fall on Indigenous people's shoulders to keep this known still. We’ve been doing that for generations at this point and NO ONE wants to listen to us.
We’re tired, mourning and constantly reopening our trauma and pain to keep people caring about us. It’s terrible.
I should start by noting that I am white, and not Canadian, and that if op wants me to remove this comment for any reason, please let me know.
This is a map of all the residential schools in Canada:
[link to the article it’s attached to, it’s interactable there, so you can get a better look around]
Each dot on this map represents a residential school. Blue dots mean the school is considered completely searched. Yellow dots mean they are either in the process of being searched or there are plans to be searched. Red dots indicate that no search has happened and that no search is currently planned
There were more than 130 residential schools in Canada. This map suggests that only six have been fully searched, and a little more than a dozen partially searched (I counted 15 yellow dots). That leaves at least 109 schools completely untouched.
Let that sink in; if 6,000-7,000 unmarked, indigenous children’s graves were found by searching less than a fifth of all the schools, how many are still undiscovered.
Wikipedia estimates that the body count could be over 50,000, and honestly, that could be a low estimate
[ID: A map of Canada with dozens of dots on it, 6 of which are blue and 7 of which are yellow; the rest are red. Later there is a screenshot from wikipedia reading, “Estimates range from 3,200 to over 50,000 children that were killed. Most of the recorded student deaths at residential schools took place before the 1950s. /end ID]
