The Orchestra’s Second Fiddle

☪️ Salaam, welcome to my blog. FYI- if I reblog and tag a post with any variation of “later” it LITERALLY means I haven’t finished reading it, but I want to be able to, LATER. I’m Grace. Age 28. She/her. “Insert pithy quote here!”

Did everyone else know that this quote didn’t originate with The Pitt?

Epic diarrhea outbreak has 40% of Americans avoiding fruits and veggies

Kennedy has focused on nutrition but has neglected food safety, critics say.

All of this was entirely avoidable. None of this needed to happen, none of this was inevitable. 

And now look at where we are, because of the dumbest fucking people in the history of the world.

40% of Americans don’t feel safe eating food we buy at the grocery store, and honestly that number is lower than it should be. 

I will never forget and never forgive the people who did this to us. I will despise them for the rest of their lives.

@heartofrazz have you seen this?

imagining a guy from like the sixteenth century both astonished at how much less violent and disorderly our society is than his and also that we didn't achieve that mostly through torture and executions. like even if he had qualms about those things he might feel he was forced to admit that if you could ensure they were abused only minimally they might be a necessary evil to discover, punish, and deter violence. and yet his assumptions about not only what works to discover and prosecute crime but how to deter and to prevent it are simply incorrect, to say nothing of the broader factors in how things like judicial torture were inevitably deployed. in the sixteenth century the understanding of how and why people commit violence was simply very bad! makes you wonder what assumptions of ours about violence and crime are going to look very stupid 500 years from now.

Enough about favorite books. What’s a book you read and absolutely hated? The book you’ve got a bone to pick with.

Hace un tiempo leí un post de EMdt sobre un grupo de Discord.

Yo quiero saber dónde está eso, que me empieza a desesperar que casi no haya fans (que yo sepa) 😭

[hugh-lauries-bald-spot]

whats a stereotype for your country that you absolutely do. mine is that i unironically go "eh" and apologize a lot and i often drink maple syrup straight

I was loving this new book I borrowed from the library because it was dropping me in the middle of the action and just assuming I would keep up with the lore and random characters the author was throwing at me. AND I WAS! I WAS HAVING A GREAT TIME!

……turns out I had accidentally started the fourth book in the Discovery of Witches series without any context……

The stuff with Hawkgirl and John Stewart in Starcrossed is very distressing, but it’s making it up to me by having the Justice League be forced to go undercover and thus have to reveal their civilian identities to each other, Wally being positively miffed to find out that Batman is Bruce Wayne, Bruce and Diana full-on making out to maintain their cover, Clark using his annoyingly-persistent reporter persona as a distraction, Bruce giving John unsolicited relationship advice (no offense, Bruce, but that’s rich coming from you,) John being astonished that the Thanagarians managed to occupy the globe and make it into a surveillance state so quickly (*cough cough*), and Wally calling Alfred Jeeves

ice water is awesome because you get more water in your water

[divorce-enjoyer]

you think youre out of water but then you check back in five minutes and woah! theres more water! the world is so beautiful

[queermania]

i think it’s okay if people are a little bit stupid (or oblivious) and need things spelled out for them but i also think media should stop catering to these people

[queermania]

for example if you need a story to explicitly tell you that adultery is bad otherwise you might get confused about whether or not people should cheat on their partners in real life, that’s fine. it doesn’t make you a bad or unworthy person. it does however mean that you should probably start watching nick jr instead of Ambiguous Situations: The Television Show
