Always get the itemized list, babes. ALWAYS.

Not just for medical either. Ever got smacked with a huge ass fee for "damages" when you move out of an apartment that not just eats your security deposit but tries to take an arm and a leg as well.

Ask for the itemized list, you will be surprised how fast they come back with a "huh, that's weird, I can't seem to find where these damages are coming from" and let that shit go.

People WILL try to screw you on all kinds of routine and mundane shit. Don't let them.

REBLOG TO SAVE SOMEONE FROM OUR BULLSHIT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

[sua-sponte-deactivated20200331]

I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.

So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.

Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.

When I just want my sims to fall in love, but their autonomy is set to high, so they're out here doing everything to sabotage it all Episode 1! I'll be posting the other episodes in "Sim edits" here: anotherhraccount

We ADORE “hey, hey” in this house, but let’s sniffle over “sorry” a bit here. Sorry I’m showing “too much” emotion, sorry I can’t love you the way you’re asking, sorry I can’t open up, sorry I ghosted you before, sorry I laughed, sorry you feel so alone on your journey, sorry the only one you can talk to is me and I’m not doing it right, sorry I said your name and made it real because now we don’t know what to do…

[fractally]

I am a fan of the dynamic where there's no leak and Shane moves to the Cens of his own accord and then Shane and Ilya never come out exactly but they just live openly and all these dumbass hockey players are just like

"Oh yeah they're just like that. They live together and room together and vacation together and get mad if they're separated on the bench. And they kiss in the locker room sometimes but it's you know. They're joking around. Good guys. Gay? Well---no I don't think so. I mean that's weird. Roz is a pussy hound. I mean I've never seen him with a woman but you know he is. Anyway Hollander had that whole thing with Rose Landry and he still talks about her, I think he's still hung up on her. Poor guy. I did walk in on Hollander sleeping on Roz's lap the other day but they were just getting in sync for power play you know? You reporters always want to make everything gay it's so weird. What do you mean 'why do they kiss so much' they're the top goal scoring duo in the league"

when hollanov are both centaurs ilya still tells each of them "i love you" when they leave the ice and then gives shane a very professional "good game"

[canwriteitbetterthanueverfeltit]

it's very special to me that as people find out about hollanov they make the obvious assumption (like david) that it's recent, likely that it started up either around the time they were planning their charity or a few months before ilya goes to the centaurs and the ones who think it's been longer think it was like maybe a year prior to the trade probably and that would be 3 years together before they get married aw how sweet and then I like to imagine that ilya makes an anniversary post like "happy one year married, twelve together" and literally everyone in the hockey world is like happy WHAT

Why is no one stating the obvious after the women’s Olympic figure skating.

The reason we love Alysa and Kaori and Loena and Amber is because we let them grown into women. They had their growth spurt, they gained weight and curves, they developed personalities, they showed us vulnerability and fight back.

It’s why we loved Yuna, and Michelle and Mao and Evgenia.

There is no joy in watching children who you actually fear for their mental and physical health, throwing themselves into tricks from which they can really hurt themselves, set to a bland routine designed purely to score GoE points.

I would rather have a skater with beautiful spins and footwork that gives me a different style of programme year in year out for nearly a decade, than a 15 year old with a handful of quads any day.

hi. im really embarrassed to be needing help again, but my hours at work were cut for no discernible reason, and my recent paycheck came to a fraction of what i normally make and im short about $350 on my rent with nothing left from my check. anything that anybody can spare toward the rest of my rent would be really appreciated as ive been trying to reach out to the local resources around me for help but they all have waitlists.

this is my p-pal and my venmo is heystephens 💛

fanfiction is a rare gem and a solid, living proof that, in a world of tiktok, influencers and content posting, not everything is about money and going viral. art can still be art just for the sake of the artists’ pure love, joy and passion for the art they create. fanfic writers write 100k words and more about the characters they love for free. just because they love these characters and the art of writing so much. art is not dead and the world is still beautiful.
