how many times do i got to post about how little i care about whatever weird shit happens between consenting adults to make annoying people go away forever

[laciffo-natas]

Me when I have to "get a reality check" because my morals are "too strong" and I'll "never get a job in the real world" (I don't think we as a society should encourage people in an authority position to degrade their subordinates)

I like making fun of twilight as much as the next guy, but I do also do love the series, so sometimes it's hard to not scream when the most popular criticisms I see are 1) Just Stupid and 2) Just Misogynistic. If I see one more person going on and on about how Renee and Bella are terrible mothers I'm actually gonna tear someone's hair out.

Get Renee a diagnosis and touch of adderall xr and she’d be unstoppable. Bills would get paid on time and everything. Mom of the year.

Broke: Twilight is bad bc love triangle badly written teenager girl slop

Woke: Twilight is bad because the Gods of the Arts beamed incredible lore and complex characters into the brain of someone who wasn't willing to be Gay About It™️

Signs of a heart attack are different for each gender yet we only really teach the male warning signs. Make sure you’re aware of both and spread it to as many other women as possible!

[branwyn-says]

EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TAKEN A CPR CLASS I have had to be that person who points out that the training videos ALWAYS frame the “male” symptoms as the default universal heart attack experience, while the “female” symptoms are framed as though they’re a deviation from the norm, rather than the primary symptom set that cis women experience. 

ALSO: I just showed this post to my roommate, who is an MD at a clinic that specializes in care for the LGBT community in the Baltimore area. I asked her  whether hormones were responsible for the difference in the “male/female” symptom arrays. I asked how that would apply to her trans patients (which, she treats a LOT of trans patients). She said, basically, that the longer you’ve taken testosterone the more likely you are to get the intense chest pressure and the arm pain, versus the upper back pressure and shortness of breath.

Obviously I am not a doctor myself, consult your own health care provider, etc.

Reblogging this comment because this is the FIRST TIME I’ve ever seen someone address what XYZ medical condition would look like in trans patients. Also this is partly why my great-grandma died: the (male) doctor dismissed her heart attack as basically indigestion, because she didn’t have the typical male symptoms.

[solarpunkarchivist-deactivated2]

Oh my God someone was able to answer the trans patient question!

[koobiie]

i feel strongly about this

“When we were kids, the Phonics Wizard came to our town to show off how the letter E can change the sounds of vowels. He turned a can into a cane, a pin into a pine. This one kid had a cap and he changed it into a cape, that kind of thing.

“And we loved it, we were all having a great time, but then he saw my sister and I, and he just got this - this look in his eyes, and then-”

She hesitated, worrying the coarse material between her fingers. “Things got pretty bad after that,” she muttered. “I know it’s silly, but I try to keep - her - comfortable. We don’t know if she can still hear us, or see us, or if she’s even still in here, but I like to think she is. I talk to her when I can, I leave music on when I’m out of the house. I tried to convince my parents to bring her with us when we went to Disneyland, but they didn’t - didn’t really take that well.”

After a moment, she put the ball of twine back onto its pillow. “Anyways. They tried to arrest the Phonics Wizard, but he had a plan in case something went wrong and he turned it into a plane and flew away.”

I think that the best part about learning a new language is that it effectively doubles your ability to Just Do Whatever. You can buy a book that looks interesting but isn't available in your native language. You can research your favourite topics and have twice the amount of resources as before. You can make new friends. You can laugh at puns that are impossible to translate into any other language. You can ask for help, negotiate, bargain for stuff, stay informed. You can listen to new music and read new poems and be in awe of not just the sound, but the meaning of the words as well. So many new opportunities for you to find joy and be free to do whatever you want!!!

EDIT: terfs are not welcome, don't reblog this if you can't be bothered to respect trans people

God sometimes I'm writing smut and I'll like, delete a sentence because I'm like, no, I can't write that. It's too indulgent. And then it's like. Girl, what the fuck are you even going to the candy store for if you're just going to buy raisins. Get real.

[pseudospaceship]

"what the fuck are you even going to the candy store for if you're just going to buy raisins" is honestly the thing I needed to hear today
