I know I’ve said this before but I am Justified to be annoyed that the book series that meant the most to me as a tween had every female main character breaking gender boundaries and being powerful and strong and accomplished…. and all fawning over men while having little-to-no on-page friendships with women of their own rank.
Fans love to go “but what about xyz???” when I bring this up, which turns it from minor annoyance to actual anger. Saying “oh but the author said later that one (1) side character was a lesbian (though never mentioned it in the text)” or “oh but the author wrote one member of the ensemble cast of a totally different series set in a different universe for a different audience as a lesbian” or “oh but it Was A Different Time” doesn’t actually address my gripe.
you can like the books! I like the books! that’s not incompatible with justified critique, though!
soooo hard to write about health insurance woes without creating a post that contains Legally Actionable Threats 😔
it's 1pm at the marsh! come on down, we've got

had to get blood tests today which started with phlebotomist asking me “So which ones are you–” and then interrupting herself as she read the answer on the computer “Oh wow, you’re doing everything!”
the printout of the lab identification stickers for all the vials was like a cvs receipt 😭
can we have a kind and gentle monday

it’s JUNE IN TWO DAYS 😭🫠
one of many terrible things about the US healthcare system is that it doesn't matter if you have a piece of shit plan or if you are paying for """good""" insurance with lots of coverage, you still spend an inordinate amount of your finite goddamn time on earth ferrying information between the provider and the insurer just to get them to actually work with each other
Got a job working in a national prairie. Any tips for working in the fuck ass heat?
Hydration and electrolytes mostly. Pack snacks and a good lunch, and if the heat makes you not want to eat, liquid meals like protein shakes help. Also, it's surprising how much a good, lightweight sunshirt can be cooling rather than too hot.
I fear I am not the best to give advice on coping with the heat mentally or physically if you really cannot tolerate it because my years of greenhouse work have changed my heat tolerance wildly and I no longer process anything below 100F as truly hot.
My mom's advice has always been not stop moving and make your own cooling wind with your speed lol but I don't mind standing in the heat and just feeling it like a weird lizard.
wear linen
As a person who just does not do well in the heat, in addition to the above (hydration, electrolytes, eating regularly, and (linen) sunshirts), I also recommend having a handkerchief or thin towel, getting it wet, and hanging it over your neck and/or head. Also a good straw hat helps a lot. If you're from a not-hot place, getting acclimated is really important. Meaning, take it slow the first few weeks when you start if at all possible, because your body takes that long to adjust. If you can, start being outside or walking during a hot time of day (safely) before the job starts and/or on your days off to help your body adjust.
Do learn the warning signs for heat exhaustion and heat stroke and take steps to cool down as soon as you notice any sort of "bad" feeling. Feeling sick, weak, nauseous, foggy, or head ache are individually enough of a sign that you need to cool down. Feeling grumpy or anxious can also be a sign.
Also, as a landscaper a few more things that maybe not everyone can do, but maybe some can helped by:
Fill bucket with water. Submerge head up to ears at least. Repeat as often as needed.
Pack lunch with ice packs, then use ice packs under your armpits/in bra at lunch/breaks
Wear sunscreen. You don't need radiation burns on top of being hot.
Wear loose clothing that allows for air movement. Also vented shoes if possible.
Do higher exertion tasks earlier in the day if you're allowed to decide stuff like that.
If you're going to be doing some tasks on the south side (reverse for southern hemisphere people) or west side of a structure (building/fence/large rock, etc) and some on the north or east sides, do the south and west sides first thing in the day.
Could you personally navigate a cross-country road trip, door to door, without your electronics (phone/computer/tablet/etc)?
Yes
No
every other note on this post is someone going "am i allowed to use paper maps?" yes. obviously. i did not say "without a map", i said without your electronics. And to the like, 20% of people saying "of course, i would simply take the train" that is definitionally not a road trip. i love trains too, but that is a rail trip. a road trip requires taking a trip on the road.
#a train can go on the road if you believe hard enough
casey jones off the shits
Decades before the New York City subway cars were lined with advertisements for niche dating apps, personal injury lawyers, prescription weight loss medicines, and alternative internet browsers, the interiors of many of the city’s trains were adorned with editions of the two-toned mock newspaper known as The Subway Sun. Primarily produced between 1936 and 1965 under the artistic direction of late cartoonists Fred Cooper and Amelia Opdyke Jones, the imitation periodical campaign by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) fulfilled a variety of purposes in the subway system for over five decades. It encouraged polite passenger etiquette, but also promoted local attractions as a way to entice New Yorkers to use public transit — from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

every time I take a survey and it doesn't have a free response 'any other thoughts?' question at the end where I can critique the survey design I get really annoyed.
wait, no, don't go, you haven't heard my feedback about how obvious the bias in the framing of your questions was!
I think it's actually essential to children's moral development to be exposed to short stories moderately beyond their reading level where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then instead of offering a moral lesson or any sort of emotional or narrative resolution it just ends.
