[biohazard-inevitable]

Had a very fun memory of when I was a kid and used plastic straws as a chewing stim toy before we even knew i was autistic, we just thought it was a good adhd focus thing since it worked.

All the teachers knew and understood why I had the straw and never yelled at me for it, and the other kids had no idea why but they just knew, “oh he needs that straw” and didn’t question it.

One day in second grade, we had a sub. She was new to the school and as she was giving us the activity while we sat on the floor (i dont remember the activity just that it was a floor activity) she saw my straw and went, “dont chew on things like that!” And scolded me in front of the class, taking my straw from me.

I of course didn’t do anything cause she was an authority figure and I couldn’t break the rule of defying authority figures so i just sat in disappointment, immediately feeling distressed cause my stim toy was taken from me.

The class was dead silent until one of them went, “miss- he needs that actually.” And then another one piped up, “yeah! He has one every day! It’s important he chews on it!”

None of them understood WHY i had it, but they respected that it was important

I got my straw back :3 and that was the best memory of accommodation from my classmates ive ever known

mooching off the government is a good thing actually. what the fuck else are they gonna do with the money? buy more bombs?

[nerdymouse]

If you are paying taxes it’s impossible to “mooch” off of the government. It’s just going “hey, remember that money I gave you? It’s your turn to help me out now.”

[kipplekipple]

It is always impossible to mooch off the government. It is the government’s job to look after its people.

[smitethestate]

Literally why even have a fucking government if not to take care of people.

[sifsgeneralreblogdump]

I would argue that there is such a thing as mooching off the government.

Like when Amazon steals fucking 129 million dollars in tax rebates despite making 11 billion dollars in profit and not paying one fucking penny of tax.

That’s what ‘mooching off the government’ looks like.

[smitethestate]

Everything the rich accuse the poor of is another thing they actually do themselves.

When you divulge more backstory than you meant to:

[valtsv]

equal rights for women will never truly be achieved until we have more female noir detectives

[valtsv]

and i don't mean some badass woman who doesn't need a man and can kill someone in 6 inch heels without breaking a sweat or smudging her perfectly set makeup or chipping a nail. she looks like she grew up in a soggy cardboard box on the side of the road all alone. she monologues dramatically to herself while looking over the corruption-riddled city she works in because she has no friends or hobbies and will literally do anything except go to therapy. she gets beat up in alleyways so blood and rain drip sexily from her nose and chin but when she gets to her feet she looks like a sad wet cat. women want her but they also pity her. instead of perfume she smells of coffee, whiskey and cigarettes, which are also more or less all she lives off of. her voice is more gravelly than a pit of rocks as a result of said diet. she hasn't slept or showered in at least 3 days and it's increasingly obvious. she's either divorced or feels like she should be.

[abrillustrated]

yeah okay gimme a sec

[abrillustrated]

ok first off some of yall missed the entire point and gave gorgeous, put-together women, when op explicitly stated that she is "a sad wet cat" this is the type-a woman who Does Not have her shit together and Does Not care.

therefore, i give you: Female Noir Detective

[transmortifried]

this lady's so much of a mess she's smoking the damn cig backwards

They should invent a head that doesn’t hurt too (headache)

Research has shown that pleasure affects nutrient absorption. In a 1970s study of Swedish and Thai women, it was found that when the Thai women were eating their own (preferred) cuisine, they absorbed about 50% more iron from the meal than they did from eating the unfamiliar Swedish food. And the same was true in the reverse for the Swedish women. When both groups were split internally and one group given a paste made from the exact same meal and the other was given the meal itself, those eating the paste absorbed 70% less iron than those eating the food in its normal state.

Pleasure affects our metabolic pathways; it’s a facet of the complex gut-brain connection. If you’re eating foods you don’t like because you think it’s healthy, it’s not actually doing your body much good (it’s also unsustainable, we’re pleasure-seeking creatures). Eat food you enjoy, it’s a win-win.

[jenroses]

what

no seriously

what?

[robotlyra]

PLEASURE IS A NECESSARY PART OF HUMAN HEALTH, BOTH PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY

[aleatoryw]

this is why you should be eating your chips with salsa and guac instead of beating yourself up for not eating a salad with tomato and avocado (unless you are a salad bitch like me then enjoy both of them!)

[comfortfrogblog]

you will feel so alive again.. like so incredibly alive. i dont know when that will be but it will be. u are gonna feel so alive that ur cheeks hurt from smiling oh man oh man i promise that day is coming. you do have a future, you do have good things coming, and you’ll survive everything that’s thrown at you until you reach that day

Bus stops with no places to sit down should be illegal. I mean this in the most genuine literal way possible.

[theramblingvoid]

Buses are the last line of defense and way to be independent for people who can't drive or walk for long distances (me). If I walk to the stop (already painful) and have to stand there for ten minutes waiting with no seats or benches, is that really accessible? And what about people with a lot more pain and mobility issues than me? All I really have to deal with is moderate foot pain, and that still has me leaning on a wall or sitting down on dirty pavement if I miss the bus and have to wait for the next one in 15 minutes/half an hour. There should be at least one seat at every bus stop. Yes, even the non-covered ones. If you're going to have kneeling buses and priority seating and pretend to care about disabled folks in that way, at least do this too.

sorry for exposing your tags but this is hilarious

like people will literally financially support entertainment products they hate and then be surprised and mad when corporations continue to produce stuff they hate. if you want AA studios to stop launching buggy, cashgrab games stop preordering them. If you want less movies that use big name casts as a substitution for good character writing, stop seeing them in theaters. more than that, instead of paying for these things, go pay for stuff you think IS well made or made by smaller creators. the entertainment industry is i think one of the only places where ‘vote with your wallet’ actually holds any real weight because none of these products are critical and a lot of them are very very easy to steal
