why is tuition so high? well im pretty sure a hefty part of your tuition goes straight into the football coach, football gear, football stadium upkeep and renovations, and however much money it takes to bus and hotel the football team on away days but really the fucking coaches what the ever loving hell man how do you justify this?

The secluded village of Zalipie in southeastern Poland is home to a charming tradition. Over a century ago the women of the village began to paint their houses.

HH:  Look at that cute little dog house.

I was upset to hear that Chadwick Boseman passed away, and I was shocked that he was undergoing colon cancer treatments while doing the best work of his career. It reminded me that rates of colon cancer in patients under 50 are increasing, and there are racial disparities in both the number of patients and their survival rates. Doctors recommend that Black patients get screened at 45 instead of 50 in part due to genetic factors that make colon cancer more aggressive. Plus, symptoms of colon cancer like changes in bowel habits and stomach pain mimic other GI disorders like IBS, so doctors are less likely to screen patients under 50 with these symptoms.

If you have access to healthcare, please see a doctor if you’re experiencing the symptoms listed in the resources that I linked here. I didn’t say anything earlier, but I had my endoscopy 2 weeks ago because my GI doctor had a suspicion that I could have colon cancer even though I’m 31 and otherwise healthy.

In honor of Chadwick Boseman, consider donating to organizations like the Colon Cancer Coalition that raise awareness for early detection and effective treatment for colon cancer patients.

Also, if Crohn’s, Ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, or an otherwise screwed up stomach runs in your family, you will have to get screened regularly at a much younger age and more often.

On the subject of Crohns, if you are an Ashkenazi Jew/of Ashkenazi heritage, get checked for Crohns.

you can’t support autistic people and support the police. No amount of paint jobs or sensitivity training can stop police from killing with impunity

Some of you hear, “Black women have done the majority of the work both fighting against sexism and racism,” and think, “Black women will liberate us all, and we don’t have to do anything!” instead of, “We need to step up our game so that Black women, some of the most vulnerable people when it comes to racism and sexism (as well as related problems like gentrification), aren’t having to put themselves on the front lines.”

Ok am I, stupid or do a fair portion of the lyrics to Kiss From A Rose just not make any sense at all

breaking news: children cry at school, too, every day and we your children’s teachers handle the situation with care and grace and not a single newspaper considers it breaking news.

of course i feel bad for a crying child. i even have some compassion for their mother bc yeah, it really sucks when a child you love is crying. i would know. i’m a teacher; it’s a normal part of the school week. (fyi: it very often has to do w stuff that’s happening at home or stuff that students don’t feel safe enough to talk about at home.) but this headline & image being used so transparently as an argument against distance learning is so upsetting and misleading.

i mean, send the kids back to school. let them infect their parents and grandparents. and then by all means run the news stories about these same children crying at funerals for the preventable deaths of their family members. because that is exactly what reopening schools will do.

(also, maybe im being way out of line here but what kind of parent pauses to take a photo of their child crying? that is fucking gross and there’s no way to get meaningful consent from a kindergartner to agree to that photo being distributed like this.)

the internet is an inherently haunted place if you think about it like. it's so weird to see long abandoned discussion boards stuck in a snapshot of the past, old conversations between kids from over a decade ago who have now grown into their own lives, obituaries taking the form of half finished profiles. and the silence that fills the gaps between. there's a constant ghostly record of each generation's thoughts, fads, their sense of humour. back when the future was at their fingertips. even stranger, people you used to know exist openly in that space, and they watch you watching them. if you want, deceased musicians can play through your headphones. there's always an underlying sense of reminiscing and time escaping our ever shortening attention spans. what a fuckin graveyard

You are right but holy jesus mother of fuck

how hyperfixation has become a mainstream word that non adhd/autistic ppl are using it please let us have this one thing we are not on the same level 

[emotionallyoverstimulated]

Words mean things! A hyperfixation is not an ‘obsession" or a current interest bc you’re bored in quarantine!

Words!

Mean!

Things!

[all-the-g00d-urls-were-taken]

Hyperfixations aren’t jus things ur obsessed with. They’re things u literally cant stop thinking abt. They’re things that u cant get out of ur head. Things that u literally crave content or knowledge abt. Things that u literally read every single wikipedia article or tv tropes page for. Things that will literally put u in a depressive episode if u dont get access to the thing. Its so so so much more than a simple interest or just liking something a lot.

I was going to rewatch 1931 Dracula again tonight and just as I turned it on a BAT started flying around at my window and wouldn’t go away and I’ve never seen a bat at my house before and let me tell you I’ve been so gay touched starved this quarantine I was about ready to risk letting a wild bat in my room if it meant it could possibly be one tall, Sexy vampire

[my-darling-boy]
