Dean Winchester is Life

Minnesotan, completely unprepared for and confused by my all-consuming passion for Supernatural and Dean Winchester in particular. I read a lot. I think a lot. I don't know how to use tumblr. Sorry in advance.

James baldwin’s the artists struggle for identity. Btw.

[mercuryfountain-deactivated2024]

"That I have experienced my share of traumatic experiences, have survived abuse of various kinds, have faced near death from accidental circumstance and from violence (different as the particulars of these may be from those around me) is not a card to play in gamified social interaction or a weapon to wield in battles over prestige. It is not what gives me a special right to speak, to evaluate, or to decide for a group. It is a concrete, experiential manifestation of the vulnerability that connects me to most of the people on this earth. It comes between me and other people not as a wall, but as a bridge."

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, Elite Capture, 2022

"It is our suffering that brings us together. It is not love. Love does not obey the mind, and turns to hate when forced. The bond that binds us is beyond choice. We are brothers. We are brothers in what we share. In pain, which each of us must suffer alone, in hunger, in poverty, in hope, we know our brotherhood. We know it, because we have had to learn it. We know that there is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is empty, as mine is. You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give."

— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Disposessed

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

[damianmcgintleman]

he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!

[equalistmako]

you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce i’d probably be bitter enough to steal christmas too 

[prokopetz]

Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft - an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.

My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the resulting breakup song.

[snickerslizard]

Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?

[prokopetz]

Yes.

DAMN IT WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS BACK YOU HEATHEN

[logan-exe]

Why is this on my dash?

[princeanxious]

…..I’m.. Bothered? by the fact that I’m not bothered by this.

[randomslasher]

You’re not bothered?? I’m not only not bothered, I’m freaking invested. I’m having actual empathetic sadness for The Grinch. I want them to go into couple’s counseling. I want the “ten years later” when Tony visits Whoville on business and meets the reformed Grinch whose heart has grown 3 times its usual size. I want them to reminisce over a shared dinner of roast beast and wine, then spend a drunken night together, then realize that maybe things are different and people really do change. I want a 3-act story where there’s a long dark night of soul searching and the realization that maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance. 

[chooseyourmusehasmoved]

“maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance” is an incredibly profound quote and I did NOT expect to get it from a Grinch x Tony the Tiger post

[none-of-your-biscuits]

every fucking year i have to see this on my dash please just let me fucking r e s t

It’s that time again.

“maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance”

Still my favorite quote from this hellsite

Nearly 10 years of this.

Happy 10 Year Anniversary to Tony the Tiger and the Grinch’s divorce?

Loved this from the bottom of my greasy black banana peel heart.

[nonbineraryitinerary]

I want to preface this by saying this is not victim blaming. This not calling people online lazy or grifting or whatever.

But an underlooked proponent on why some people are nearing homeless and crowdfunding heavily rn is bc society has failed you by making it as inconvenient as possible to learn about social systems and programs that already exist to help your situation as well as not having enough programs and aid.

Lemme give some examples. I have been unemployed for 10 months. My mom told me about a paying job training program a month ago after I already decided to mive in with her to find work, because nothing was coming up in my own city. My best friend didn’t know about affordable housing assistance in my state until she talked to my dad about it on a chance encounter. Some people on here have to see posts about much cheaper alternatives to their current prescriptions or medical plans because its not in the interest of their doctors paychecks to tell them about it. I would have waited to get vaccinated and not have crowdfunded for Uber money if I had known they were going to give free vaccine rides the next month. But I wouldn’t have really known this until I opened the app once that program started, because it is in their interest to keep taking my money until its their desired time for me to reap their “generous” services.

What I’m trying to say is that this is an under discussed aspect of how capitalism fails people. When you are forced to make your life and work and finances so singular and self interested, you are cut off from community and equivalent social services to proper government assistance. You literally don’t know that there is help somewhere out there for you unless you’re told.

[memesnotwelcome]

I believe a professor I had called this “cultural wisdom” but I haven’t been able to find the social science articles that expanded on this. It’s a practical knowledge of local systems that allows someone to function and thrive in that system. The example she used was having an understanding that banks can hold your money, but the practical aspect of accessing your money (in a convenient and easy manor) was knowing about ATMs and how to use them. But unless you have an account or someone ready to inform you, there’s no dedicated time or milestone where someone learns this.

And that’s just with a machine designed to give you YOUR money, let alone complex social service programs.

[addamatic]

I want everyone who crowdfunds for hospital bills to know they probably don’t have to oay them at all. Just find the financial aid office of the hospital. It’s on the website BY LAW. Find the form. Fill it out. Get the bills canceled or lowered! You don’t need crowd money, you need the government’s money that’s already set aside for your medical care.

[euphoniousraconteur]

GO TO, MESSAGE, OR CALL YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. Libraries are focusing more and more on community resources, support, and outreach. If you genuinely don’t know something or feel uncertain or are in a new situation, a reference librarian will not only help you sort your thoughts through their reference interview but then help you arm yourself with knowledge from reliable and often local sources. It doesn’t even have to be a question to Ask A Librarian. You can simply say “I’m in this situation now. I don’t know what to do next./I’m not confident I know everything I should or want to know.”

[dancinbutterfly]

If you are in America - 211 is your friend. It’s the United Way’s database of social assistance resources. When I was doing resource development for my masters in social work 211 was my holy grail. And there’s things that only workers know about that just calling and asking can reach cuz it sets off the social service phone tree. I will say YOU have to be persistent of you want to access these resources. Most of the ngo agencies are most interested in helping the pro-active clients in my experience. But do use the resources. They’re golden.

[endlessceaselessboundless]

Reblogging just to say again, DO NOT PAY YOUR HOSPITAL BILLS. Please everyone, consider your hospital bills a staring point. They are not like other bills, they do not accrue interest and non-profit hospitals are required to offer charity care, sometimes it's hard to find and slow to get going, which is why it is so important you DO NOT PAY YOUR HOSPITAL BILL. Just wait, be annoying, fill out the charity care forms, call and ask a million questions, but please DO NOT PAY THOSE BILLS. You may have to pay some amount at some point, but you also do not have to give them everything at once. You can typically work out a payment plan for a reasonable amount per month, AFTER you have signed up for charity care and requested an itemized bill and challenged every stupid thing on it.

Also, when it comes to healthcare, insurance companies are basically running the show. I'm sure there are incompetent doctors out there too, but MOST of the time your insurance company is going to dictate what can and can't be covered, including which prescription drugs. There are several ways around this, but they do take work. One, is to call around to different pharmacies and find out what the CASH price of your prescription is. Insurance is routinely fucking over pharmacies and marking up drug costs, so sometimes the CASH price of a drug is substantially lower than your co-pay, and in that case all of your money goes to your local pharmacy, not insurance. Pharmaceutical companies also offer assistance programs on many name brand drugs, but this is one of those things like you have to know to look for them. An easy one stop shop to see if there are assistance programs that might cover your drug is the Medicine Assistance Tool or MAT, https://medicineassistancetool.org/

MAT is a search engine for prescription cost assistance. Good luck out there!

But why does they always have to be touching?????

jaw fucking drop everybody look at this tiktok

[endlessceaselessboundless]

When you see it like this, it's like yeah, you gave Dean ONE person for these huge emotional moments (that wasn't related to him). Like, I mean, C'MON! What did they think would happen? What did they think they were doing????????

[sunriseseance]

Right now my thoughts are with the family of Melissa Hortman, a democrat from Minnesota who was assassinated along with her husband and her dog in the dead of night. Senator Mike Lee (from Utah) made a joke about it. There was no moment of silence, no national response. MAGA extremism kills people.

[yamino]

Here’s a picture of her and her dog. Sometimes it’s hard to really conceptualize these things without faces to go with the names. I wonder why no major news outlets have focused on this story, or posted this photo of her with her golden retriever. Her dog looks just like mine. My heart is shattered every time I look at this.

[yamelcakes]

Gilbert was a service dog dropout, who flunked out because he was “too friendly.” The Hortmans, of course, were thrilled to officially adopt him. He was the second retriever the Hortmans fostered and trained through Helping Paws. Their other foster dog, Minnie, was successfully placed as a veteran’s service dog. Helping Paws is always accepting donations in Melissa and Gilbert’s memory:

https://www.helpingpaws.org/donation

Calling All Paws! Every Gift Of Any Amount Makes A Difference!  ONE-TIME DONATIONMONTHLY DONATION Choose the amount that works best for you

Melissa did so much for Minnesota, and I’m so angry that her murder was mocked by Republican legislators while the assassination of a hateful podcaster who rubbed shoulders with white nationalists and Nazis somehow receives more outrage. Trump never even reached out to Walz to express condolences for Melissa. He refused to attend her funeral. Now he wants to give Charlie Kirk The Presidential Medal of Freedom. I’m so fucking angry about it.

Yes.

[canni8al]

friend just told me that he and his siblings used to play a game called "abraham lincoln and the slimy slug" wherein one person is abraham lincoln, with a full range of motion, and one person is a slimy slug inside a sleeping bag

and they would fight. and of course abraham lincoln would just beat the absolute shit out of the slimy slug

[endlessceaselessboundless]

Hooray for bizarre sibling games! My brother and I used to play a game called Dead Horsey, wherein he was a NOT dead horse but an alive one pretending to be various things that I would then walk on, like a bridge or a rug. But for some reason I thought he was dead and could therefor be walked on.

I think at some point I wanted to play and my older brother was too lazy to do that, but also maybe wanted a small child to walk on his back b/c sometimes that felt good.
