As summer is approaching, I’d like to remind everyone that you are not entitled to ask someone to cover up their scars, self inflicted or not. I don’t care if they’re big, I don’t care if they’re noticeable, or purple, or all over their body, or what. You can’t police people’s bodies.

[asexual-amanita]

This also goes for my friends with feeding tubes, ostomy bags, central lines and urinary catheters. People are allowed exist in bodies that stray from the expected norm.

It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”

[thatgiraffebutt]

On my campus there tends to be a problem where even I you have the doctors note professors will still take points off of your final grade regardless of how sick you are. I’ve seen people show up to class with the stomach flu, pneumonia, respiratory infections and all sorts of other contagious ailments.

[literallyaflame]

Here’s a fun story:

The school system I grew up in put an absolutely ungodly amount of pressure on kids to Show Up Every Day No Matter What. Many schools are like this, but looking back, my town’s was borderline fucking dystopian. They asked me why I didn’t just “postpone” a surgery at one point— when I was fifteen— to give you an idea of how monumentally obtuse these people were.

So, in elementary school, I started having chicken pox symptoms, right? They were mild because I was vaccinated (yay!) but my mom recognized them quickly and took me to the doctor, because my mom is a reasonable human being with standards. The doctor said “yup, you’ve got those pox, it may seem mild but please for the love of god DO NOT take her to school, she is very contagious even though she may FEEL okay.”

So I had to stay home from school until I got clearance from my doctor to go back. I was an angry little gremlin the whole time, because I wanted to go to the school library and read books about the human skull, but my mother said, “no, you cannot leave this house, and do not scratch the bumps please.” So I sat at home and tried not to scratch the bumps, like a good little gremlin.

A few days into my Chicken Pox Related House Arrest, we got a letter from the school. I was far from the only person with chicken pox, as it so happened. Like… a tenth of my second grade class had Confirmed Pox. We all fell ill within DAYS of each other.

So how did this happen, you ask? Well, a kid had chicken pox, and he came to school anyway. “Ah, well perhaps they didn’t know,” you may very well say. “Maybe his parents didn’t notice!” No. No, they noticed. In fact they KNEW it was CHICKEN POX. They sent him to school anyway.

The kid’s parents…….. were, in fact, teachers at the school. And they KNOWINGLY made him go to school sick, because they didn’t want to risk hurting his precious “perfect attendance” record. They figured that since he wasn’t, like, Literally Dying, it was better for him not to miss school. Never mind the fact that they were actively endangering hundreds of little kids.

Fast forward to my freshman year of college. A kid came to class with mumps because he ‘couldn’t afford to miss’. Guess what happened? Mumps outbreak! Diseases are, as it turns out, good at being diseases! Vaccinations are phenomenal, but they can only do so much, and some people rely on herd immunity to not be killed by preventable illness.

This entire attitude needs to die. It’s dangerous. Food service workers are forced to show up sick, little kids are forced to show up sick, college students show up sick because they’re afraid of flunking out.

And on top of it all, misinformation campaigns are encouraging people not to get vaccinations! It’s 2019 and we’re flirting with the plague! Next thing you know some blogger is gonna be like “actually we should all be fucking rats and eating our meat raw, death to all science and god bless america”

[madd-catter]

Many kids at my school will show up really sick because we only get like three days of excused absences without a doctor’s note.

Ok so thanks for voting on this but i need you to reblog it too

[corrupted-quartz]

I swear browsers like to refresh a tab with a chapter at a specific point because the data trackers have intercepted my brainwaves and knew it'd piss me off if I lost my spot in the fic.

LET ME BE, DAMN IT, I'M TRYING TO READ HERE.

[rowanshadow26]

The worst bit is frantically trying to remember any significant part of the fic that means u can kinda find ur place again, and ur whole brain is blank

[playing-with-colors]

[shinraalpha]

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

[fortheloveofexy]

as a lesbian i get so much secondhand embarrassment when i see other lesbians being biphobic (especially towards bi women) bc so much of the time it obviously stems from a place of deep insecurity and sometimes even internalized misogyny.

"i dont date bi women bc they always center men" baby the only one who is bringing up men in this conversation rn is you.

"bisexuals have straight-passing privilege" i mean sure but the vast majority of them are also actively choosing to subvert that privilege by being openly bisexual. if they wanted to pass as straight then they wouldnt be going to pride, calling themselves bi, dating same sex partners, etc.

"well what if she leaves me for a man" ok well what if she leaves you for a woman? what if she just breaks up with you bc you're a crappy partner? what if she decides to become a celibate monk and goes off to live a hermetic life in the wilderness? what if she meets a hot and sexy vampire demon werewolf thing and she's finally getting to live out her monsterfucker fantasies? people break up for like a million different reasons all the time, so my question is why are you comparing yourself to hypothetical men she could possibly leave you for? is that not just another form of "centering men" in your life? is that not just you feeling internalized misogyny? Like idk maybe work to unpack that before you start taking it out on bi women.

anyway this is just to say happy pride month. i love you bisexuals. I love you bi women, you're all very sexy and cool and valid i do in fact want to date you.

"can men be lesbians?" bestie in 100 countries women can't be lesbians is this really the most pressing issue rn

Serve up mutual aid instead of another round of discourse

[loontattoo]

see unfortunately I have this condition where if I am not explicitly told that I am a part of the ingroup then I will assume I must be part of the outgroup

[lucydacusgirl]

And like I genuinely am loath to negatively discuss women’s bodies online and I think the way that famous women’s bodies are up for discussion online and in the press is upsetting and dehumanising and I feel a lot of compassion for women who are struggling with eating disorders and body image issues in the public eye however the fucking mass weight loss happening to all famous women either through eating disorders or weight loss medication cannot just go uncommented on. Nearly every single famous woman got skeletal overnight and it is so incredibly worrying both for them and for what it signals to other women and girls about how they should look.

[musiicpix3l]

Yes yes i know love is love. But they are still killing CHILDREN. over this.

[fluffmugger]

"Love is love" is a milquetoast cishet marketing phrase

Pride is a FUCK YOU to a society that wants us dead.

[palamedeez-nuts]

"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.

[nelogism]

And she's still doing her best, with the knowledge that she is probably gonna be thrown into jail afterwards. She knows people hate, that she has all the power and that people only take her serious, because of that power. I just think it's tragic, that her actions are also almost expected from her. People expect woman to fix the mess, even with the knowledge, that they only chose her, because they needed a scapegoat
