⚫️ They/Them nb (but mostly fem) // 20s // queer // Virgo 🖤 Random stuff about me: I like to write occasionally when being a working adult isn’t eating my time and energy. Things that happen in my life heavily influence the things I write, but sometimes I try to write original stories and stuff outside of personal poetry. My current main obsession is…well, idk, but I like Stardew Valley, OMORI, Steven Universe, Undertale/Deltarune, Grey’s Anatomy, Bojack Horseman, Minecraft (esp hermitcraft), Sims 4, ACNH…and lots of other stuff so you might see posts about that. Oh also we need to listen to indigenous voices, climate change is real and important, trans rights are human rights, let consenting adults do whatever they want, free palestine, no human is illegal, and black lives matter, and if you disagree with even one of those, fuck you, ur less than dead to me.
My prediction for episode 7. He'll be fine guys no worries.
Double Edit:
After some back and forth and looking around some more, turns out this probably counts as fair use after all and I don't have to worry about the CC license coming for my ass. So, with that in mind, once more:
"you have to let parents make their own choices about vaccines!!"
if the very idea of autism frightens you so much that you would allow your child to die of a preventable disease: you do not deserve to be a parent. i understand that people can be led astray; i understand they have their excuses. i am just never going to forgive any fucking ableist who sat back and pretended like neurodivergence was a fate literally worse than death.
How clearly does the point need to be made that "police officer" is just a fucking job, one with minimal training and minimal monitoring. It is NOT some kind of promise of honesty, truth, or heroism. It is a bunch of assistant managers with extremely powerful weapons. IF you can understand "pedophiles choose to be priests and teachers so they can get to children", IF you understand "arsonists choose to be firefighters so they can be present at their own crimes" - then you can ALSO understand "people who are bigoted, violent, and power-hungry choose to be cops for the opportunities the job presents" and you can ALSO understand "any occupational culture that chooses fraternity over justice - and the allowance of violence in the name of a unified front - is therefore siding with their worst representatives"
by the way. the average time to train to be a police officer? 19 weeks. A little over 4 months. many states only require a high school diploma and no further education. there is often no requirement of any form of previous experience - no interning or observations. it took me 3 years of experience and a master's degree for me to get my job in writing. hell: in my state, it takes at least 6 months with a permit before people are allowed to drive a car.
being a police officer is an entry-level job, and we are handing them weapons. nothing about their occupation automatically makes them smarter, quicker, braver, or in any way elite. there is very little in their onboarding process that would allegedly "weed out" the worst of the applicants - and once they are part of the fraternity, they're not gonna leave.
we have been taught to respect, honor, and worship them by virtue of a job title they barely even had to try for. they sign no contract, swear no vow, and make no promise to the general public. it is a community that is extolled above others and given virtually no oversight. think about the kind of people who would be attracted to that opportunity. the adage: power corrupts. absolute power corrupts absolutely.
circling this back around to say FUCK ICE, and fuck you if you willingly support them just because they're "a federal agent" and therefore "deserve respect".
ICE officers are a fucking privatized militia they do not have authority over united states citizens and none of their so-called "purpose" requires live rounds and weapons. It is entirely made up of fascist racist dickbags with no fucking training. they are lower than scum. they're police-school dropouts with no fucking spine. there is no honor in their position. they accomplish nothing but terrorizing communities they don't even fucking live in.
Any!! occupation or government !! that chooses fraternity over justice - and the allowance of violence in the name of a unified front - is therefore siding with their worst representatives.
Her dad is in the hospital, her mom is cold and never around, she is apparently getting raised by her computer (as evidenced by Queen wanting to take care of her/keep her safe in Chapter 2), all while she is dealing with the death/disappearance of her sister, a time in a kid’s life where they need to have the presence of parents or caretakers or literally anyone to develop in a healthy way
I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I'm skipping past your sponsor read. I'm muting the tv. I'm muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.
If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible
my mum has severe knee problems and needs a replacement. Today she was told she's too fat to be operated on and the knee specialist suggested she gets a gastric band - which also involves surgery. So my mum was like first of all you didn't read my file because it explains that I'm not fat because I eat too much second of all you said it's impossible for me to get surgery and then suggested I get a surgery about it? He then asked her her weight and height, didn't believe her answer, and made her prove it to him because she "looks fatter than that". So she was like so you also just entirely based this on looks instead of actual numbers?
My mom went through something similar. She needed a knee replacement and her doctor wouldn’t okay it until she lost weight, which was difficult given the whole knee problem preventing her from walking thing. He told her she was too dangerous to operate on and that there were just too many risks.
My mom tried to lose weight in vain for months before she finally gave into my begging her to get a second opinion. The first doctor she saw next scheduled her for surgery the same day she met him. When my mom asked about the risk of operating on her he told her that there was some minor risks for complication and that all she would need to do to alleviate the risk was spend an extra night in the hospital so that they could keep a look out for any complications.
There were zero. There were also zero complications when she had her other knee done, her hip replaced and her gallbladder removed.
Almost like the first doctor was entirely full of shit and just trying to coerce his patient to lose weight by scaring her for fucking nothing, even when she was living day to day in excruciating pain and desperately needed a surgery.
there is an overwhelming amount of cool in the background details of these photos if you look at what she’s got at her desk, which i really really hope and believe was her actual everyday desk
