i think rich ppl should stop buying mega yachts and mansions and other boring shit and instead they should funnel money into their own production companies to make quasi-pornographic gay romance shows starring themselves as the leads

A former nurse practitioner who worked at an Alexandria, Va., MinuteClinic is suing CVS Health, alleging that the company fired her because she refused to give certain contraceptives or abortion-inducing drugs in keeping with her religious beliefs.

Attorneys for Paige Casey said in a lawsuit filed in Prince William County Circuit Court that CVS, which owns MinuteClinic, exempted the nurse for more than 2½ years from prescribing certain contraceptive drugs or devices that cause an abortion. It specifically cited Plan B and Ella, which are commonly referred to as morning-after pills. Casey was granted the accommodation after she wrote a request to the company based on her Catholic beliefs, the lawsuit said.

Good.

in elementary school we had. basically an immersive economics lesson that was "playing City," with different jobs and businesses; it was mostly semi-free time for socializing and selling/buying toys and snacks from each other. one of the lessons we were supposed to learn was the importance of paying a small amount of money into health and/or business insurance, because you had a chance of being hit with the Daily Disaster and a huge bill.

anyway, some kid who didn't buy insurance got hit with a "medical bill" early on, so he was supposed to be bankrupt and have to sit the rest of the game out. the 8 year olds were not having it and spontaneously invented crowdfunding so he could keep playing with everyone else.

kids who don't 'get it' are right, actually

Seriously, when someone swears and the subtitles are like **** but the word wasn’t beeped out for hearing folk I get sooooo angry. Deaf people aren’t babies, we can handle reading fuck just as much as a hearing person can handle hearing it

i love when the tumblr girlies get into a show middle aged american men like (MASH, columbo, breaking bad, supernatural to all our bewilderment, etc) but do it in a way that would make those dads go into shock requiring medical intervention

I know Jason probably didn't even get through the ninth grade due to Dying, but I think he should have like, an MBA. I think it would be funny. He's out there trying to be crime boss Red Hood and Bruce says something offhand like, "Jason, what do you know about running a business" and Jason fully gets his GED and goes to college for 6 years full of spite and with zero self reflection

Crashes a Wayne Enterprises board meeting going, "What do you know about running a business, Bruce, you go to six board meetings a year, I wrote my thesis on this dump"

Jason's wearing a suit and he says the words "quarterly dividends" and Bruce is so proud he starts crying

Bruce, choked up: "Jason I'm so proud of you"

Jason, also crying: "Stop it! Stop it!"

Jason worked on that comeback for a whole 6 years

love liminal spaces conceptually because their uneasiness is basically the twitching of a murky primate instinct attuned to an environment far distant and entirely different. a sudden silence in the woods. your gut is telling you that something is wrong

[thesitharts]

I remember the first time I had that primal feeling of there being something very not right

In trade school I was taking out the trash from shop class one day, but something made me just *stop* the moment I set foot outside, having a sudden huge feeling of dread and something being wrong.

Took me a minute to realize what it was, but then I realized it was dead silent.

No birds, not even the clucking of the school chickens

No wind rustling the leaves of trees

The air itself felt oppressively heavy, completely still

Then I looked up and saw the clouds racing across the sky, realized what was happening

We were in the eye of a forming tornado.

the discussion about whether aliens would have original sin is at least 500ish years old

One day I will make a post about what people thought about aliens throughout time because it is an underrated fact that we've been thinking about aliens for all of human history
