Love that in a lot of classic literature people just “randomly” fall ill but bro their homes were stacked to the roof with arsenic and asbestos and lead and radium of course they were sick all the time.

[sandersstudies]

And then they’re like “we took my ill wife to the seaside and her condition improved remarkably” and it’s like Edward your house has seven time bombs in it please just leave your wife at the seaside and she’ll do very well not getting mesothelioma.

Edward your wife may be entitled to financial compensation

Like Victorian homes had so much arsenic in them. SO MUCH ARSENIC.

Everything is cake! By which we mean arsenic!

doctors and all other medical specialists during check-ups: "hmmm well it seems like nothing is wrong with you, you say you are having pain? idk take some tylonel and sleep it off i guess, you will probably live"

dentists: "your teeth are yellow as shit and your gums are unhealthy, you only brush twice a day when you should be doing it 4 times an HOUR, WHY don't you floss. i see darkness in your future and the darkness represents cavities, you've got diseases we haven't even seen before, all your shit is fucked up my guy, even your jawline sucks and i don't even test for that, absolutely pathetic. don't show your face here again"

One thing I always bring up that straight writers obviously don’t understand but every gay person ever can attest to is that queer people stick together. Like, every queer person knows like 15 other ones and those 15 know even more. 

Like, having only One in your story completely misses the point of how we organize and stay safe, in addition to completely missing the point on being progressive (ie, having A Single Gay in your story isn’t special anymore and hasn’t been for decades now)

It is a fundamental misunderstanding of how marginalized people act bc straight people are allowed to be solitary and they don’t understand any other way of Being

Hijacking this post to talk about something interesting! There’s a lot of criticism in fanfiction circles of yaoi or yuri fanfiction where ‘everybody is gay’, and it’s almost always by folks who haven’t been involved in queer communities. If you’re queer, you really do surround yourself with queer people - so ‘everybody is gay’ in a character’s social circle actually makes perfect sense! 

this exhibits itself in other ways too, for example, when there’s one queer sibling there’s usually more - often because one sibling will bring the definitions home and the other will use that to explore their own identity!

Another weird phenomenon I noticed is this happens a lot even before people realize they’re Not Straight ™. Out of my close friends in high school, most of us turned out some form of LGBTQA, and I’ve heard other people say the same is true for them. So people saying it’s “unrealistic” that everyone in the same social circle would gradually discover they’re Not Straight ™- yeah, it is totally reasonable and even likely.

One of my least favorite mental illness things is “hungry but dont feel like eating” and its companions “hungry but all the food in the house is Illegal,” “hungry but can’t make anything,” and “hungry, want to eat, but why bother”

this man looks very pretty in purple!!!!

[captainwaltons]

There is something so beautiful about woman dressed in historical clothing that’s usually only worn by men.

Like, a man wearing historical fashion: eh, ok I guess, I mean it’s still cool cause- history! but still just ok…

But a woman: More beautiful than Aphrodite, a queen! I aspire to look like this. Woman, honestly, can pull of historical men’s historical fashion so well, and they all look like queens and badasses.

[captainwaltons]

For example: Normal historical dressed, ok I guess, I mean we still stan Horatio,

but-

This? :

Yes yes yes!!! A thousand times cooler and djfksksosjdjj!!! Amazing!

But if we teach children at home for a year they might realize they aren’t required to adhere to a rigid authoritarian structure of learning!

[cipheramnesia]

But if we teach children from home for a year, we might need to provide for basic human resources to do so!

[cipheramnesia]

But if we teach children at home for a year, the internet might have to become a public utility!

[cipheramnesia]

Fuck, I almost wonder if this new “they will fall behind” narrative I started seeing is designed to move the narrative focus from how we can easily shift our infrastructure to support distance learning but it requires improved social welfare into a narrative of “fallen behind” being dumb and not as bad as dying or something.

Like, on the one hand, true, on the other hand, pretty sure the goal is to get folx to stop talking about the other stuff and it’s working.
