warning for discord users

If you're on the app, immediately go to your dms and then "add friends". After the latest update they allow your contacts to find you and have that option turned on by default, so make sure it's unchecked!

This is very obviously not great for a multitude of reasons, but especially for people in vulnerable positions who do not want people in their contacts to see who they are on discord and/or know they have discord in the first place. I've also tried finding out if this is a thing on desktop but haven't been able to find any mention of it, so either it's not a "feature" (yet) or they've hidden it. Either way, stay safe, and turn off finding friends via contacts!

[ID: three screenshots from the discord app with circles around the buttons to press to get to this "feature". 1: the messages/DM button, 2: the "add friends button", 3: in the add friends page, the "allow contacts to add me" checkbox. /END ID]

what did I miss

as long as fat people are seen as a “diseased” group and not a socially and economically marginalized group whose existence has been medicalized, any higher rates of morbidity/mortality among them will not be accurately understood 

[heavyweightheart]

i should really contextualize this, too. it’s the public (including fat ppl) that’s doing the seeing and that has reason to want to accurately understand the deadly effects of weight stigma. but the vast majority of the professionals and institutions doing the medicalizing and pathologizing of fat people (nih, who, ama) are doing so bc it’s extremely profitable–a better understanding is not their goal

being individuals together is so intimate. let’s read different books but curled up next to each other, let’s visit a coffee shop so you can study & i can write, let’s just be near each other

End the Electoral College. Give statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington DC.

Investigate voter suppression and strengthen voting rights.

The most votes wins.

[anti-capitalistlesbianwitch]

The electoral college is undemocratic, antiquated, and based in racism. Abolish the electoral college.

[headless-horseboy]

The electoral college ensures that mostly City states cant completley ignore rural states but fuck them i guess

[anti-capitalistlesbianwitch]

First off: there are no states that are mostly cities. If you add the population of NYC (the biggest US city) to the next five biggest cities in New York, that only makes up half of the state’s total population. And cities are not monoliths; everyone doesn’t vote the same.

The Electoral College is not about fairness; in fact, it gives disproportionate representation to electoral power to the states with the lowest populations. When you take into account the number of electoral votes and the population for each state, a person’s vote is worth more or less based on the state they live in. For example: the vote of a person in Wyoming is worth the most, 3x the average American. On the other hand, the votes of Texans are worth the least. Every vote in the US is not worth the same.

As for ignoring certain states, that’s exactly what happens under the Electoral College. This is a map of the general election campaign events for the 2020 presidential election. The two presidential candidates held over 200 events, visiting just 17 states and ignoring 33 (and the District of Columbia). 

The current Electoral College system ensures that 11-12 battleground or swing states hold most, if not all of the electoral power. Former Wisconsin Governor and one-time presidential candidate said the quiet part out loud: “The nation as a whole is not going to elect the next president, 12 states are.”

It should not be controversial to say that every vote in the United States should be worth the same and that election results should reflect the will of the people. The Electoral college is undemocratic, antiquated, and based in racism; it should be abolished.

Another example of how fucked up women’s sizing is!!! A customer wanted to buy a men’s L, but we were out, so she tried to find a comparable women’s shirt. The closest she got was a women’s 3XL, but it was still too small in comparison to a men’s L.

Think on that. A men’s L is bigger than a women’s 3XL. AND there’s an upcharge on shirts larger than an XL, no matter what style the shirt is.

From a functional perspective, the only difference size wise between a women’s shirt and a youth shirt, is how long the torso is. Kid’s shirts aren’t as long, because children aren’t as tall.

Youth shirts also generally have more room in the shoulders than women’s shirts do, bc idk a six year old apparently has wider shoulders than a grown ass adult woman.

Anyways, if anyone ever says that 2XL and larger shirts have to be more expensive because they use more fabric- it’s bullshit.

when you fuck up, you have to actually say "i really fucked this up & it's on me" in order to be better. there's no room for projecting or acting like a victim. no room for excuses or acting like you don't care. you have to actually grow the fuck up & take responsibility for every consequence. there's no growth without accountability.

but you see her on instagram and it was never really said that you guys aren’t friends but one day she stopped answering and you stopped texting and it’s not like the wound is a cavern but it is a diagram of what if in red letters. you want to tell her nice lipstick that’s a good color but the last time you spoke it was stilted and awkward 

how do you say goodbye, you know? it’s not an unfriend and block kind of situation. but you watch the people you once loved go on and have a life and you’re outside of it. and it’s bittersweet because of course it’s okay that you’re both thriving. but she used to be who you’d call if you needed to cry. she used to be who’d you’d be binge watching the new series with. you used to be hers, in a way, even if that way wasn’t permanent. and now she’s someone else and so are you and your friendship is clicking heart shapes next to pictures where she smiles next to people you’ve never met. you know where her birthmark is. she knows where you’ve buried your dead.

the poets and the singers and the authors write about romantic love when it ends. but nobody tells you how to get over a friend.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton is not blonde. All her blonde dos are wigs. When she goes out with her husband, because he doesn’t want to be in the public eye, she has her real hair and wears more typical middle aged southern lady outfits and people just…. Don’t recognise her. She just Clark Kents her way into maintaining a private life.

[spinja]

She’s the real life Hannah Montana

[miss-jayjayy]

Wasn’t she Hannah Montana’s aunt 😭?

[aphony-cree]

I have to add some details because their story is pretty cute

At 18 Dolly moved to Nashville. The very first day she was there she met a guy outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat. Her husband, Carl Dean, has said “My first thought was I’m gonna marry that girl. My second thought was, ‘Lord she’s good lookin.’" 

After 2 years of dating they wanted to get married but her record label said no because women are more profitable if they’re single. They eloped at a little church before the label could stop them and put off their honeymoon so Dolly could focus on work

In 1966 Carl accompanied her to a dinner/awards ceremony, it was his first time going to an industry event. After the dinner he said to his wife “Dolly, I want you to have everything you want, and I’m happy for you, but don’t you ever ask me to go to another one of them dang things again!’” And she never did

He lives a quiet life in Nashville and runs an asphalt business

For their 50th anniversary they renewed their vows at their home in front of family and friends, it was the wedding they’d wanted but couldn’t have when they first got married

[official-mugi]

I know the tweet is supposed to be some kind of “haha men bad” but honestly he’s the goals there. You have a great and super rich wife and no one ever bothers you

the fact that biden cant landslide an impeached president responsible for a massive lethal disease outbreak shows how fucking pathetic he really is

[biglawbear]

Biden has over 70 million votes, which is the most of any Presidential candidate in history. He's leading Trump by 4 million votes.

He came very close to flipping Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina.

The take is that 1) the electoral college is fucked up and 2) white supremacy and hate are extremely strong motivators for this country's right wing, not "Biden is pathetic," you fucking dimwit
