(sometimes i add random tags to this post just so i can find posts with those tags on my blog)
• hey. i see u clicked “read more”. i just wanted to ramble a bit ab myself i guess
• i’m a white latina, sapphic (obviously), probably cis (not entirely sure, but i’m not eager to find out; i like living my life without getting caught up on trying to figure out what/who i am, just being who i am without giving it a second thought, and i do love womanhood yk) (just like i’m not exclusively into women, but i’ve only ever felt anything for 2 men my entire life — whereas i feel something for each and every pretty woman i see, always — so i like saying i’m bisexual but i also like saying i’m a lesbian. idk and idc)
• i’m probably autistic, im almost certain, and so are a few of my friends. but i’m also not eager to get a diagnosis; i don’t care. and i’ve been struggling with chronic depression since i was a small kid, it’s… really tough if i’m being honest (teared up writing this for some reason jfc). edit: got "accidentally" diagnosed with autism while also being diagnosed with PTSD, so, yk, there's that
• i’m in med school and one of my biggest special interests is pharmacology and drugs, how substances work on ur body, stuff like that. edit: because of severe financial and family problems, i had to stop med school (during my 6th and last year, when i had already been working in several hospitals, and had to result to my English degree to work in translation to pay the bills, so.... that fucking sucks)
• the only other special interests of mine that are as strong (or maybe stronger) than that are vampires and horror movies (but i’m not a fan of vampire horror, i like them best separately lol)
• i have a “tw: drug mention” tag so beware — and pls don’t follow me if you have strong negative feelings about harm reduction in general — in fact, FUCK OFF if you're the kind of person who has anything against addicts and don't see them as sick victims in need of help too
• i think that’s all! i wrote most of this when i was 22, now i'm 24 and have been through things I've never thought could happen to me — very traumatic things, that i'm not eager to talk about. i'll keep updating this post whenever something big changes in my life.
something i'd like to add: if you're struggling with major depression, PTSD (specially if from some for sort institutionalization, but not exclusively), or addiction, please don't hesitate to massage me. i'm a very good listener.
and as you MIGHT be able to see from my shitty screenshot (actually I don't think anyone could, but I'm too lazy to screen record it and then edit it so you'll just have to take my word for it), some of the animations have SEVERAL flags in them, maybe even all of them. Mine starts out as the fainbow flag (but without the POC add), then moves on to this aka trans and enby at the same time (yk, side to side), then moves on to bi and lesbian at the same time, sometimes pan as well, then to aro and ace at the same time. SOMETIMES intersex is added to the mix but not by its own, it's usually next to some of the flags I've already mentioned, but not usually (im guessing bc most lgbt posts on this website aren't tagged intersex, and I've been told there has to be a tag for ir to show up -- on mobile at least).
But also: you have no idea how long it took for me to figure that out. The flags only do 2 (maybe even just 1 and a half even) swirls around the heart, so it goes by REALLY FAST so it's really hard to identify them. Hopefully someone else gets all the flags at once when they like a post and will prove me right here by screen recording and editing that to not only crop it but slow it down....
Ok I went out of my way to screenshot the like 27338 fucking times to be able to get the moment of one of the changes from one flag to another, just to be more credible, but fr

People die on the job every summer. Remember that water and shade breaks are crucial when working in the heat, and calling emergency services for signs of serious heat illness (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, headaches, dizziness, clammy skin, confusion, agitation, slurred speech, high body temperature, rapid heart rate, etc.) is entirely appropriate. If you’re afraid to call 911 for reasons such as being undocumented, you’ll need to get very familiar with how to prevent, recognize, and treat heat illness. If you are symptomatic and not allowed a break, water, or medical treatment, walk out. No matter how broke you are, your job is not worth your life.
I just wanted to add that people will try to hide their symptoms. I've had 3 confirmed heat strokes (but probably more -- my friends call me "a husky that shouldn't have been brought to [tropical city]" lol) and every single time I thought I "just needed a minute" or smth like that, and, like. If your coworker is clearly not doing great (look for signs like trembling hands or taking and drinking every cup of water they get like they probably wanted more), SAY SOMETHING. If there's fear of deportation or job termination, talk to them, beg them to go home. If there isn't, their superior, even. You could be saving a life.

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
TRANS WOMEN WHO SEE THIS PLEASE REDIRECT ME TO MAKEUP TUTORIALS I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM DOING YOU LIKE HAVE TO KNOW MORE THAN ME BY NOW CAUSE I BEEN SLEEPING ON THE JOB SO IF ANY OF YALL GOT ANY TIPS PLEASE IM JUST ANOTHER GIRL IN NEED
it would explain so much about Gotham economics if it turned out the only employers who pay a livable minimum wage are 1) Wayne Enterprises duh, but mainly 2) all of Gotham's assorted villains.
sure henching comes with shitty working conditions, but the benefits package is crazy competitive. they have dental
Gotham's villains are so engrained because supervillainy is the only thing propping up the local economy. henching requires no work experience, provides on-the-job training, and has a diversity hiring program (you're willing to commit crimes in tacky matching uniforms? great you're in, here's your gun and clownsuit)
Batman is constantly throwing money trying to compete but the fact remains that henchpeople are Gotham's largest workforce and will be until minimum wage laws catch up to reality
even educated jobs in environmental science are probably getting laundered money from poison Ivy. and a lab equipment tech might notice three different jobs are tied to pamela Isley and also happened to receive grants from "unrelated" shady shell orgs and the next one is setting up a temperature controled penguin habitat for some eccentric obvious mobster.
we need a new supervillain who gets drawn into villainy specifically to make money for funding grants. they come up with a theme and wacky outfit and loony backstory but at the end of the work day they change back into their alter ego (tired scientist with bags under their eyes and a hotpocket stuck in their labcoat). they're actually very mild mannered irl—the villain persona comes from their background in Theatre Arts
yes i spent my entire life until a few months ago assuming green eyes were an urban legend
"what about all the fictional characters with green eyes" thought it was a trope like with anime protagonists having naturally purple hair
i found out by watching Desperate Housewives (one of the actors has green eyes and it threw me off)
(i had never watched Desperate Housewives until that point bc i assumed it was reality tv, of the same genre as Real Housewives Of Metropolitan Areas franchise)
i still haven't seen green eyes irl, i am simply aware now that they actually exist
"have you really never met a person with green eyes." i didn't say that. it's possible I've met dozens. my autistic ass has spent decades elevating eye contact avoidance to a sublime art form.
did more research and now I'm sort of leaning back to my original stance that green eyes don't actually exist? people say "green" but all i'm seeing is eyes that are blue-and-brown. can i get some example photos so i know what we're talking about???
I assume this is what people think of when they imagine green eyes. Whether they look green or not is mostly a lighting thing from what I've seen. I have gray eyes that can look green in the right light.
Green eyes are also the rarest eye color period, so I don't actually blame you for not knowing they existed at all.
these are just blue with brown/yellow mixed in? i have those type of eyes, i assume they're pretty common. definitely less rare than people with 100% blue eyes with no mix-ins
they're not green they are blue and yellow that's two different colors neither of those colors is green this is what im talking about people say "green eyes" and then it turns out they're just talking about eyes with multiple colors (blue, brown, yellow) none of which is actually green!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I was one of the first people to reply to this post, when it only had a few notes, and as it turns out, the replies after mine (specially the rude ones -- and believe me, if you go through them you'll find many) are starting to get to me, so. As a medical intern who works in an ophthalmologist clinic and sees eyes under a microscope all the time (and was practically raised there, playing with all the equipment as a kid and asking all the questions you can think of about eye color — to actual ophthalmologists who have PhDs, btw —, since mine was so "different" from others and, yk, kids be curious), I really wanna say some things.
First, green eyes exist. And they are, in fact, one of the rarest eye colors in the world, a lot more than blue. It's entirely possible and not strange at all for someone to go their entire lives without meeting someone with actual green eyes — ESPECIALLY if that person lives in a place where the majority of the population are POC.
Secondly, a LOT of eyes with different, "odd" mixes of colors are mistaken for green, or said to be green (by other people, including doctors sometimes, or/and by the person themselves) because it's just easier than to list all the colors that they have in them.
Thirdly, and maybe most importantly: since there are eyes that are just plain green, that is different than having eyes that have 2 or more different colors that, when mixed, make green. "Plain green" eyes are, in fact, rarer than eyes with different colors that, when mixed, "make green".
Now, the real question this post seem to be arising is: if someone has eyes with 2 or more different colors that, when mixed, make green; do they have green eyes?
And, here's the thing: THERE IS NO RIGHT ANSWER. Why would there be? Who fucking cares? I, personally, think the answer the statistics use is "no", because if not, the % of green eyes would be much higher.
seething about the fact that i will never experience photosynthesis in my own useless cells. i bet it feels so good when the light of the sun both warms you and fuels you at the same time. a bone-deep satisfaction mixed with a heated sugar-rush and endless brightness. not that i would fucking know
Athena: You mean venomous, and make sure the eggs have both reptile and bird traits.
Hermes: *takes the joint* Give it extra senses.
Poseidon: It should be aquatic.
the way ozempic has finally made the fact that eating healthy and exercising doesn't necessarily make you thin well known and society's reaction to this is not "oh i guess being thin or fat doesn't actually show if you're healthy" but "oh i guess everyone should be on this drug"
I hate that this is infact how ozempic is viewed now because I watched, in real time, how my mothers diabetes got significantly better on ozempic, she didn't start it for weight loss, infact she started it before it even got big for weight loss, but all people can talk about is the weight loss on ozempic and not how good it is as a diabetes medication. Watching my mom find energy and happiness because for once a drug wasn't making her lethargic and miserable was wonderful, she was able to feel better, but then it was spouted as this miracle weight loss drug, and suddenly she just couldn't access it anymore at a good price. Not only has the ozempidemic made fatphobia normal in an already fatphobic society but it's making it harder to access for people who genuinely need it because it's seen as a luxury cosmetic drug.
