Blind AuDHD type 1 needing insulin - it's getting desperate

Getting very low on insulin. Need about 400kr for that, which is around $60 or 54euro.

The paper checks at Danske Bank still haven't been paid out, and it can take anywhere from 3-6 weeks. They have been there since 26 June and the others from 3 July.

I hate to have to ask and will pay you back as soon as the checks are paid out but insulin is kind of a necessity.

I start my new job 27 July (pushed back due to construction).

Fitness Race

From the moment we’re infected with a virus, the race is on. Our B-lymphocyte cells rush to make intricate antibodies that latch on to proteins called antigens on the pathogen’s surface. Only the best fitting antibody will emerge victorious. B-cells perfect their antibodies inside structures called germinal centres – mutating their DNA, to changing antibody 'designs' and try out different prototypes. Here researchers watch a simplified form of this race in mouse lymph nodes (highlighted in blue). Activating some of the germinal centres (red) with a burst of laser light (turning them green), they follow B-cells using a technique called deep mutational scanning to predict how the antibodies change with each mutation. Similar to evolution, this trial and error eventually finds a champion B-cell with the best fitting antibody to tackle the virus. Such insights might influence vaccines designed to tackle viruses that change their antigens, like HIV.

throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.

all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?

it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!

Black people will never stop talking about this, but when we are on sites such as Tumblr, where so many of the white people feel that not only are they not racist, but that calling their racist behavior racist is emotional warfare on them, they will make sure to keep Black voices as silenced as possible.

Also, a lot of the Black people who got deleted or run off of the site weren't even accused of any type of Russian anything. A lot of them were just run the fuck off by the white Tumblr base on harassment shit.

I applied for a job recently and instead of just defaulting to USD for the salary requirements (since it's an American company with no locations outside the US), I had to find it in a drop-down menu of every currency that has ever existed

Even some obsolete ones

WHY

iamgoingtobeatyouwithhammers

(very Polishly) EXCUSE ME

nonegenderleftpain

US Dollar (next day) and US Dollar (same day) fascinate me. Are they tracking daily inflation? Can I pay with currency that does not yet exist?

And God said unto Abraham, “Abraham.”

And Abraham replied, “What.”

God said to John, “Come forth and receive eternal life.” But John came fifth and won a toaster.

And Judas approached the rabbis and Pharisees saying, “The one whom I kiss is the one you seek.”

To which they responded, “Gay.”

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream off, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.
