I know this is an ice cold take but watching TOS was shocking because I thought Kirk was a womanizer before going in and no it turns out he just loves falling in love.

[trekkiesagainstchastity]

Yes, he's a slut, but he's an emotional slut and he deserves credit for that

If you haven’t read Kirk Drift, read Kirk Drift.

This. …And honestly: watch the episode “Metamorphosis”, and not only acting but plain old dialogue both make it clear that the man’s a near-unreconstructed romantic. The sheer yearning after True Love damn near cracks the fourth wall from side to side, like the mirror of idiom. 😄

That’s my James T. Kirk.

"there's nothing wrong with you." incorrect answer.

i want you to recognize that there is something wrong with me, but love me anyway.

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.

Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!

Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.

No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.

It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.

Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

[madlori]

I'll say it again: other people do not owe you a perfectly curated experience of the world. Being a little uncomfortable sometimes is just the cost of like...existing in the world.

Who is Eileen and why are we cumming on her?

I dunno, Kevin Rowland said to and I thought it was ok?

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

[theweirdwideweb]

For all my uninsured judys out there it's for Walgreens only: walgreens.rxsense.com

[handsmotif]

as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

good luck out there 👍

Connecting with the person at the customer service desk at Weis Markets while registering for a frequent shopper card because we both agree that sites that make you scroll through calendar pages to enter your birth year instead of letting you key in your DOB absolutely sucks and I don't want to take the several minutes needed to scroll through 603 months, thank you very much.

Feeling like an absolute loser when I objectively have no reason to. It's like, why is my brain fucking with me?

Mug of the Day

Ran out of my usual blend so ran to Speedway in the middle of the night and all that was available was something called Punk Bunny. Tastes like Maxwell House and was three times the price. It's...Ok?
