According to Merriam-Webster an ultracrepidarian “offers advice on matters they perhaps should leave alone” and that makes this even funnier to me

trump’s 1 year anniversary of being president is starting off with the government shutting down that’s the perfect representation of how american politics has been going for the past year

wjorm

The government got shut down when Obama was president as well.

It’s not new.

Stop blowing it out of proportion.

It’s not a rare occurrence.

weavemama

When the government shutdown under the Obama administration it was a divided government. Which made more sense because under a divided government it’s harder to compromise.

Here we are, 2018, and the Republicans control ALL branches of the government. They still failed to compromise and negotiate.

This is the first time the government shutdown under a one-party government. Ever.

This is most definitely a rare occurrence. Very rare.

odinsblog

Here we are, once again. Not even a full 12 months later, and yet another Republican shutdown.

#TrumpShutdown

artikgato

This is actually the third government shut-down this year. The third. There was the first in January, an additional one in February, and now we’re rounding out the year with a third shut-down. There was only one during the entire eight years Obama was President. There have only been nine total shut-downs in the entire history of America. Trump is responsible for a third of all government shut-downs and this has all happened in one year and it is only his second year in office. Is that alarming? That should be really fucking alarming.

[Dad: How’m I doing on your hair? Child: Good! Dad: Let’s see, do I need more grease? Child: Yes. You need more grease on there. Dad: More grease? And then what? Child: And then you gonna need to brush it, and then you put a band on there. Dad: A band on it? Child: Yeah! Dad: Aww.. Child: You’re getting it through! You’re almost done! You’re doing a good job! Dad: Aww, thank you, sweetheart, so much! Daddy’s trying, doing the best I can. Thank you so much. Child: You’re welcome! Dad: I’m almost done! Child: You been doing great! Dad: Aw baby, thank you so much, you’re so encouraging to Dad. Thank you. Child: You’re welcome. Dad: I really appreciate you so much. You’re so awesome.

this is so pure

valerie1972

Kids that age are parrots of tone and phrasing. So the whole bit with “You’re getting it through! You’re almost done! You’re doing a good job!” means that there is at least one adult, if not more, in her life that regularly talks to her that way.

Everything about this video makes me happy.

Hairdresser: We’re going to have to use a color remover to take out the blue pigment, then apply more pigment to allow for the proteins in the hair to adhere to it. Then possibly mix three different types of toners to reach the goal of your natural hair color.

Hairdresser: pretty simple

Me: this is chemistry

Hairdresser: yeah, but people don’t like when we talk that way

trashfirefallon-deactivated2019

Hairdresser: so you’re a mortician?

Me: apprentice

Hairdresser: do you know why formaldehyde is used in clothing?

Me: I didn’t know that was a thing

Hairdresser: I think it’s due to the preserving qualities? But I don’t think that’s right.

Me: It’s not just a preservative, it’s also a disinfectant ‘cause it destroys bacteria as well as their food supply. It’s also a dehydrator.

Hairdresser: why not just use alcohol?

Me: good question. Formaldehyde is super cheap, so probably to cut costs

Hairdresser: is it really a carcinogen?

Me: yeah, I’m going to have so much cancer

trashfirefallon-deactivated2019

Hairdresser: so you’re going natural to work at a funeral home?

Me: yeah

Hairdresser: while still in school?

Me: well we work in the funeral homes so we have uuuuh … experience with cases

Hairdresser: you can just say bodies it’s fine

Me: oh thank god

trashfirefallon-deactivated2019

Five Minutes Later

Me: yeah so we don’t do autopsies it’s one of my pet peeves

Hairdresser: what if someone wakes up while you’re embalming them?

Me: there’s a huge difference between a living body and a dead one

second hairdresser: I think we should add more toner, but yeah I think rigor mortis would make it pretty obvious

Me: that and being in a fridge for a few days you will be dead by the time you get to us

Hairdresser: I think pumping them full of a carcinogen would help with that

when we breathe heavily after, say, holding our breath underwater, we don’t call that breathing “compulsive”. we don’t say we’re “overbreathing”.

when we nap bc we got 4 hours of sleep the night before, we don’t see that compensatory act as something pathological. we think, “my body didn’t get the amount of sleep it needs and now it’s making up for it”

but we will restrict our food intake as much as we can for as long as we can, and when the reactive eating inevitably comes, we call it “bingeing” or “compulsive overeating”, instead of seeing it (as w the other functions) as a biological drive to meet one of our bodies’ basic needs.

we don’t have this different view of eating patterns bc it’s actually the case that compensatory eating is pathological… we view it in the way we do bc we’ve been thoroughly indoctrinated by diet culture, a form of social control

my therapist was talking about this a little while ago. She was talking about how cycles of deprivation tend to function like deny yourself a physical need (food, rest, emotion, etc.) –> your body takes over and you [eat a lot/aren’t able to do anything physically or psychologically draining/experience extreme emotions] for a period of time –> you feel guilty/ashamed/worthless –> you deny yourself a physical need

and she said that most of us are conditioned to believe (if we recognize this as a problem/something we’re genuinely struggling with at all) that the way to solve it is through trying to force ourselves to stop “over-indulging” in our needs. But the way to break the cycle isn’t during the deprivation or the need-recovery stages– it’s during the stage where you feel guilty/ashamed/worthless.

She was saying that if you can work on that stage and start to internalize that your body keeping you alive through recovering [calories/energy/connection with yourself] is a good thing and nothing to be ashamed of, but instead something to be grateful for, then you can gradually stop depriving yourself out of an attempt to maintain self-worth, which in turn means you won’t be waiting until your body goes into crisis mode to get your needs met.

It was really insightful and it’s something I’ve been kind of turning over in my head since.

But he's still saying Mexico will pay for it.

President Donald Trump once again unleashed what’s become his presidential hallmark: a bizarre, winding, threatening press conference, this time following his White House meeting with Democratic leaders Friday to try to break the impasse causing the government shutdown.

In a long, meandering briefing in the Rose Garden, Trump told reporters the partial shutdown now heading into its third week could go on for months, even years, if Democrats don’t give him the $5.6 billion he’s demanding to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall. The Democrats have steadfastly refused. The shutdown has affected some 800,000 federal workers — 420,000 of them forced to work without pay — since Dec. 22.

“This is national security we’re talking about,” Trump said. “We’re not talking about games.“

When asked if there was any “safety net” for workers going without pay as the shutdown continues, Trump responded: “The safety net is going to be having a strong border.”

Trump also floated another way he could get his wall: declaring a state of national emergency over border security to build it without congressional approval.

“I could do it if I wanted,” Trump said.

If y’all are curious as to why I get so militant about the politics well it may or may not have something to do with the fact that the president of America is a wild man who believes things he himself made up and who talks about dissolving his own government and installing himself as a dictator as if it ain’t no big deal.

“I could do it if I wanted” indeed. Those words probably gonna haunt my dreams tonight ngl

The safety net for furloughed employees is a strong border? Is Mexico going to pay their wages like they’re going to pay for the wall?

ayellowbirds

Those employees include hospital staff, emergency services, and other staff of critical support structures. This is going to kill people, if it hasn’t already.

Impeach the bastard.

LOCK HIM UP

TSA screeners are working without pay and some are not doing their jobs properly. A growing number are involved in an informal sick out, causing longer lines.

We already have a shortage of air traffic controllers. One in five are eligible for retirement. If a significant number of them choose to retire rather than stick out the shutdown, we will have a long term problem, especially as the new apprentices in training are also likely to quit.

They have also furloughed all aviation safety inspectors, although they’re being called in without pay as needed.

Tl;dr - if you don’t have to fly right now, don’t.

Other effects: Affordable housing contracts are not being renewed. Nobody has been turned out onto the streets yet, but landlords are cutting back on maintenance.

If the shutdown passes January 20, while food stamp recipients will get money for February (early), they may not get it for March.

FEMA will not have funding after January 31. Some people are still waiting for roof repairs they now won’t get.

The Coast Guard has almost no money left, which, oh! That affects border security. Hey, drug smugglers? All ya need to do is get in a boat. It will also affect safety.

Tl;dr - yes, people are going to die, and we may have a major air disaster. Or another terrorist attack. And more drugs getting into the country.

Yet, 75% of Republicans still support the wall…over American lives.

FDA is stopping inspections on a lot of food types, when we’re already having people sick and dying over lettuce. The FDA workers that are still working are doing so without pay.
