scientists are still scrambling to figure out what “zigazig ahh” is so that they can give the spice girls what they really really want

the spice girls are getting impatient

The idea that Xaden regularly gets bombarded with Violet’s thoughts about wanting to climb him like a tree whilst he’s just trying to get through the day unscathed is actually so funny to me

[daybreak96]

I mean if he read her intentions the first minute they met she was thinking about climbing him like a tree before she even knew his name 😏😏 perhaps that’s why he was clenching his jaw

I'll say this: leather--even the leather that comes out of factory farms --is a million times more "ethical" than plastic alternatives. Many of us are just privileged enough to live lives that are far enough removed from where and how our means of subsistence are produced that death is unfamiliar to us and the idea of something dying gives us a gut reaction of distaste and panic.

Why haven't more people watched Pushing Daisies?? It has everything. Pathetic and sad main character who loves making pies. An Orpheus and Eurydice love story. A detective that loves knitting and pop-up books. Murder Mystery with necromancy. Kristen Chenoweth is there.

The US is truly incomprehensible

The sponsor, Earl Carter, is doing this to distract from the bill he sponsored immediately before this, H.R. 1160, which appears to classify all traveling doctors and "advanced care practitioners" as independent contractors (can't be 100% sure as the text hasn't been released yet, but it sounds like it's gonna be exactly what it says on the tin).

If you've ever seen a post about doordash or lyft drivers being overworked and underpaid, this is basically the same thing but for doctors. Here's an article about why independent contractors are bad for the worker, but here's the cliff notes:

shit pay

no benefits

social isolation (coworkers changing frequently, so you don't have time to make friends or even proper acquaintances)

not actually independent workers/still tied to a company

They dressed it up by adding this reasoning to the end of the title "to help alleviate physician shortages, including in underserved areas," but it's just political theater. Any physician would still need proper licensing, and there are already systems and travelling doctor companies in place designed to address underserved areas. The only difference is that the companies would be "required" (i.e. CEOs have been chomping at the bit to do this) to make all these doctors ICs instead of salaried employees.

All this to say, when you see some outrageous shit like this, look for the stuff that's been released at the same time. That's what they're actually trying to get passed.

People will really think being a Dad is boring like my guy there is a Kreacher roaming my halls possessing of my intellect but devoid of my morals getting into mischief and the only real weapon I really have at my disposal is the fact that his desire for my Approval is tremendous.

btw while people continue to fight the system don't forget about Undue Medical Debt (formerly RIP Medical Debt), a charity that buys and forgives medical debt. on average a donation of $10 will forgive $1,000 of medical debt.

[an-aura-about-you]

I'm fairly confident that this is now the one original post I've made that has gotten the most notes, and I honestly couldn't be happier. the more attention we give this, the higher the chances that someone will see this and donate. medical debt is both one of the most crushing things a person can deal with and one of the stupidest things humanity has invented. and if you live in the US, I have no doubt that you've had to deal with medical debt in your life, either for yourself or a loved one. even a small donation can do so much good, and now is the time of year when we are encouraged to think of others.

my snowflake opinion is that subtitles should always be on by default, and their incorporation should be considered an essential part of the design process tbh

[vasira96]

damn, some of y'all really could not fathom subtitles/closed captions still being optional under these conditions like :( if u just think about it for a little longer, you can put 2 and 2 together, i believe in you
