Legitimately the funniest thing just happened in our virtual book group after someone rec’d a vampire romance to me and someone else piped up that it had a “problematic age gap.”

In a vampire romance novel.

Like, yah. I sure fucking hope so.

so many staples of vampire fiction are deeply troubling in that they might be genuine horror in real life, but if you wrote vampire fiction without them it'd be like being served an empty cone sans ice cream.

people often ask me for vampire lit recommendations but i know based on what they've said that they'd absolutely hate 99% of the foundational themes of vampire lit so it's always just

thebibliosphere

If I let a vampire drink my blood and they turn out to be 40 something with the same life experiences as me to “avoid power imbalances,” I’d be so pissed.

I’d be like what do you mean I took my expensive heme iron supplements for this. No, give it back. I’m anemic I can’t be giving it out for this.

100% you need to ID vampires before you give them blood and if they have a real legal ID they're too young to be bothering us.

If it’s not scrawled on faded parchment, I don’t want it.

the worst part of "you'll understand when you're older" is that you really do understand when you're older

The second worst part is, once you get older, you find yourself saying "you'll understand when you're older" with Full Comprehension of how fucking annoying you're being right now, but also knowing that it's all you can say.

Why does Aotearoa have a significantly better relationship with its indigenous people compared to other anglophone countries like the US, Canada, Australia? (Better being relative of course because its still a settler colony)

Potentially because the population ratio is higher, we make up 15% of the population, and no longer have legally enshrined blood quantum, due to tireless effort from Māori activists.

I still feel weird about insinuating that Māori have it easy here, everything that you'd consider better has been fought for by the blood, sweat, tears, and lives or Māori activists. None of it has been easy, and it still fucking sucks.

Māori make up 52% of the prison population despite being 15% of the population.

Māori life expectancy is 7.3-7.5 years less than Pākehā.

39% of Māori had experienced digital harm in the last year compared to 14% of the general population. This stat is from 2023, it absolutely went up during the time of the Treaty Principles nonsense.

Only 6% of Aotearoa is Māori land. I'll remind you that it used to be 100%.

My people are dying, we are in pain, we are treated worse by doctors, our kids treated worse by teachers, we don't have access to our land, most of us can't speak our own language, so I really don't appreciate you coming into my inbox, demanding I write an essay for you unprompted, and insinuating that it's actually all chill. No disclaimer of 'it's relative' can cushion 'why do you guys actually have it fine'.

also go read essays from Māori ppl who study this shit yknow. I'm just a random indigenous person on tumblr. Why are you coming to me for this?

I’m covering a different store today and it’s got some pros and cons.

Pros:

Carpeted

Has a window wall that looks out onto several trees which is a lovely vibe

Carries some beds my store doesn’t

Cons:

There’s a scent machine I can’t find fugging up the air with a perfume I’m allergic to

A nearby business appears to be breeding or perhaps battling pterodactyls and there’s a faint near constant sound of eldritch screaming coming through under the music.

foldingfittedsheets

New theory:

The business next store is not for humans

It is instead full of thousands of furious parakeets that are possibly battling for supremacy and creating a nonstop cacophony of bloodlust

foldingfittedsheets

Final result:

The building next door is in fact a Tae Kwon Do studio and it’s full of furiously screaming children which when filtered through a thin wall and corporate music sounds identical to 1000 parakeets/pterodactyls

fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders

aquilegiaformosa

it’s becoming clearer that “being fat makes you diabetic” is actually misapplied observation and like, backwards cause and effect. insulin resistance is the main factor in type 2 diabetes. it was thought being fat made you insulin resistant. turns out it’s the other way round; insulin resistance causes the body to store fat at a greater rate. like yes, once the weight is gained it can then contribute more to resistance and things can snowball, but the initiating factor is not being fat.

x-i-l-verify

#type 1 is caused by no insulin production type 2 is caused by insulin resistance #and what causes the resistance or pancreatic damage is often uncertain #absolutely poor diet and lack of exercise can EXACERBATE EXISTING TYPE 2 DIABETES #but eating carbs and eating sugar will not give you diabetes; neither t1 or t2 #also keto is a fucking scam and a lie and puts people in the hospital on a regular basis

the-perks-of-neurodivergency

Also worth mentioning how hard it is to find good advice around healthy eating or exercise because almost all of the information available assumes your goal is to lose weight. So you'll find a hundred articles for how you can reduce calories, but nothing about how you can eat more vegetables while managing a budget and still feeling satiated. Because professionals assume your goal is to lose weight, not to feel better in your body. It's so incredibly frustrating.

hemipelagicdredger

repeating just because people need to hear this:

You don't GET Type 2 diabetes from being fat. Type 2 diabetes MAKES YOU put on fat. We had the causality backward

Forever using this post as a reminder that Food Not Bombs has chapters all over the world. Check to see if your city has one and volunteer or donate.

I worked with my local chapter for community service learning at school and they really are amazing. Feeding people is important. You CAN help.

Skeleton walks into the room: holy shit, fantasy romp time!

Muscular system walks into the room: this is someone in immense and immediate pain and is about to die. The only way this happed to them was if it was inflicted by another person, who may still be nearby

Nervous system walks into the room: ayo the fuck?
