online usa-centrism doesn't rly bother me that much but i do think it's funny to act clueless on purpose when people reference directions within the US as if they're default. like "im from the east coast" ohhh which east coast? sorry i mean lots of places have easts yknow. you should be more specific haha.

[redstonedust]

"im southern" oh shit like globally? that's awesome. oh wait "the south of america?" like 😊🇧🇷🇦🇷🇨🇱🇻🇪🇺🇾🇲🇽🇭🇳❓:D

When I was in nursing school nobody ever told me one day I would have to explain to my manager that I was encouraging a patient to wee in a vase as a "lesser of two evils" situation

And that the vases of wee all over his room were actually an improvement

people are so focused on what the world should be that they miss opportunities to make positive impacts on the world and one way this manifests is the left’s trend of not voting

[weirdtranssexual]

no one wants to work with the system to do material work for progress. they really want it to work like a disney movie, but this is the real world. you have to accept half wins over entire losses, because as we’ve seen these past few years the consequences of the losses are tremendous.

You can do both! If you really truly want revolution of whatever kind you believe in, work for one - you'll need contacts and to connect with other people who want the same thing, but they do exist and you can do that work. It's there waiting to be done. Thanks to the internet you don't even have to move to a specific neighbourhood of a specific city and hang out at the right coffee shops.

But you actually can vote and write letters to MPs and and volunteer for local community organisations that deliver food and help your neighbour with their shopping at the same time as working for a revolution. You can join your union and petition for changes in your workplace. You can be a data collector or conduct relevant research. Whatever your expertise and experience are, you can use that. And you can do more than one thing. You should do more than one thing.

It isn't ideologically inconsistent to do the best you can on all fronts, especially when some tasks (voting) are occasional and *relatively* simple (voter suppression notwithstanding). And especially if you're disabled and tired and absolutely crushed by Society, if voting is the one thing you can achieve, do it. It actually is better than nothing.

i actually get a bit annoyed with people who get a bit annoyed when people say “sorry” in response to their bad news. “why are you apologizing you didn’t do anything :/” like okay well a) you don’t know that and actually yes i am the secret architect of all your woes and have been this whole time, way to refuse to acknowledge a woman (gender neutral)’s accomplishments. and b) we’re both fluent english speakers so you know perfectly well that “sorry” isn’t always an apology and is very commonly used as an expression of general regret or sympathy. not in this case, because i have been your secret nemesis for years, meticulously plotting your every misery, but, like, in general

I wish they could invent a medical device that temporarily transfers your symptoms and pain to the doctor treating you and it worked like a shock collar. “I think light exercise would-.” and then bam they’re rolling around the floor clutching their stomach in agony and dry heaving.

[scarlettblythe]

Honestly as a chronically ill nurse this would be SO helpful. I've spent years learning to analyse every symptom I've ever had, I KNOW if I could feel it for a sec I could tell if that chest pain is epigastric, pleural or cardiac but instead here we are, giving you six different meds and keeping you awake and attached to an ECG at 4am to cover all bases,

drinking water when I have a headache should give instant relief. it should go away. what's even the point of drinking water if it can't do that

Black Friday is such a joke nowadays. “Don’t miss out on 30% off” don’t piss me the fuck off. People used to hit each other over the head for a microwave that’s how low the prices were. People literally died. We used to be a country
