Simon: im gonna go read in the sun for a bit. Can you put sunscreen on me?
Grace, face in the microscope: yeah. Can you wait like three to five minutes? Im almost done
Simon: damn, didnt expect you to pass up a opportunity to touch my tits
*series of bumps and clatters as Grace knocks things over and trips on furniture in his hurry to cross the room*
Grace, leaning out from behind the wall, with the biggest most hopeful smile on his face: you'd let me?
randomly remembered this tweet and had to stop myself from bursting out laughing
trying to get people to watch iron lung feels like i'm holding out a big bucket of blood and asking people to blindly stick their hand in there and feel around. come on. it's not even that bad. just dunk your hand right in and hold it there for 2 hours
@zephyronthewind yesssss it's like a really yucky happy meal and instead of a toy it's a miserable and sopping wet guy
And then people go The Character is a youtuber? And I go Uhhh not really, he's just played by one. And then people go The Character is from a video game do I need to play that first? And I go Uhh not really, it's just the setting and situation and everything that isn't The Character. And then people go Why should I care about The Character then? And I go Dig around the record amount of fake blood to find out!! (they don't want to dig around the record amount of fake blood to find out)
if you want to receive the rewards of seeing a grown man break down crying for mercy you must submit to the mortifying ordeal of EIGHTY THOUSAND GALLONS OF BLOOD
sorry it’s actually so fucking crazy thinking abt how certain places have banned burqinis like literally making a woman take her clothes off in public like that shit is so fascist
genuinely horrific like that’s law mandated sexual assault & we just let it happen. hello. can anyone hear me.
xena gave us trans drag lesbianism as a treat
There are layers to this. Earlier in the episode, Xena discovers her secret while they're sharing a locker room. A woman she has got naked with turned out to be trans. It's the exact scenario terfs are always fear-mongering about, but Xena just shrugs it off.
Also, the kiss was a big deal not just because it was gay but because the trans actress was HIV positive. They wanted to show the world that you can't contract HIV just from kissing someone. Bear in mind, the AIDS crisis was still fresh on people's minds in the 90s.
Happy Pride.
did you know you can just not say bizarrely condescending things to / about kids? yeah you don't actually have to do that, they lifted that rule. you legit can just not do it. you don't even have to do it on social media, even when you perceive an out-group you don't like as being composed primarily of children, you're literally allowed to disagree with ideas without claiming that you have unquestionable social authority over people younger than you. you're free to say Literally Anything Else. I know, it surprised me, too.
As a 19-year-old sophomore at Stanford, Elizabeth Holmes decided to transform diagnostic medicine so she dropped out of college and used her tuition money to start her own company, Theranos. Ten years later, Holmes, pictured here holding a micro-vial, is on the cutting edge of medical technology — her new blood testing method allows hundreds of tests to be run using only a few drops of blood. And, Holmes’ methods are cheaper, faster, more accurate, and less invasive than conventional methods which often require a separate vial of blood for every test. As Holmes told Wired.com earlier this year, “I started this company because I wanted to spend my life changing our health care system. When someone you love gets really sick, most of the time when you find out, it’s too late to be able to do something about it. It’s heartbreaking… We wanted to make actionable health information accessible to people everywhere at the time it matters most. That means two things: being able to detect conditions in time to do something about them and providing access to information that can empower people to improve their lives.”

Her fear of needles served as a motivator for launching Theranos. (x)
Should i be doing my finals… yes, but here we are
i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af
i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience
say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!
Soldier your mission is to be a seat filler at our 80 year old president's big birthday fight! Strong sexy hunks ONLY! Absolutely NO uggos!
wow this scene in my head is great. once i write all 50,000 words to get there then you'll understand too
Possibly my spiciest take is that it's actually good to have people you respect and like that have some dogshit takes.
I think part of what is making young people lonelier, in discussing why they're increasingly isolated, is that they're so afraid of meeting someone who doesn't hold their same beliefs, and instead of being just core beliefs it is kinda ancillary shit.
It's actually okay to disagree even on social topics! Even on some political ones! But I mean, online you can start with "i love this mutual but they have a really bad/uninformed opinion about x media"
I know this is IMMEDIATELY going to be taken in bad faith, and yes babygirl, you are so right, I DO want you to go make best friends with both the KKK grand wizard AND your nearest nazi leader.
But seriously, as someone who has spent two decades doing community organization: finding ways to connect with different people is so so so important. There are people i follow here who ate 80% smart and their brain falls out of their head 20% of the time and that is GOOD FOR MY MENTAL ECOSYSTEM AND GOOD FOR LEARNING HOW TO BE A PERSON
LET'S ALL GO PISS ON THE POOR
It’s also good to assume you probably are the friend whose brain falls out 20% of the time.
We all have blind spots, assumptions, and dogshit take from time to time. They can’t all be winners.
Sometimes they eat sand dollars : )
Sharks have 10-20 times the bite force of a human.
A sand dollar test has roughly twelve times the crushing strength of a Pringle. QED, a shark may indeed experience the crispness of a Pringle.
Love and peace on planet earth
Except for the sand dollars, which very much are being killed
digital selfharm is real. do NOT check up on that ex-partner/ex-friend. do NOT reread those old messages/conversations that you know will hurt your feelings all over again or that will otherwise make you feel like shit. do NOT block evade to see if you’re being talked about. inhale. exhale. let it pass and you’ll be better for it.
