Hello and welcome to my mess of a blog [Zack] [ He | They ]

[i-was-today-years-old-when]

i learned that the world record for the loudest thing ever shouted belongs to an Irish female teacher who shouted the word “quiet” at 121 decibels, the equivalent of a jet engine (x)

Okay please read this whole article because there is important information in ther, including;

1. She never yells at her students- her record breaking 121 decibel shout happened during an event she’d been invited to. She was defending her title after setting the previous shouting record during a competition at a church camp, where she got to 119.4 decibels 

2. The only reason she entered the first competition was because her twin sister had entered and was about to win with a shout of 119.1 decibels. 

3. They took her to an expert to try to understand how she shouted so very loud and his conclusion was that her supernatural volume was fueled entirely by her need to beat her sister.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you CAN and SHOULD terminate a doctor patient relationship at any time if you are dissatisfied with their service or uncomfortable in anyway.

I stopped seeing an allergist who said “Get rid of the cats and put that dog outside” as response to a description of my allergies, without ever giving me an allergy test.

(My next allergist actually did his due diligence and discovered that half the reason I couldn’t breathe was because I had allergic scar tissue in my sinuses).

I stopped seeing a gastroenterologist when he didn’t make an effort to learn my name, familiarize himself with the treatments I had tried that did not work, or read the list of known medicine allergies attached to my chart.

(He asked me when my last colonoscopy was LESS THAN 48HRS AFTER HE PERFORMED IT and re-prescribed me a medication that had hospitalized me)

I stopped seeing a certain psychologist because, despite my complaints about the damage that it was doing to my stomach lining, he wasn’t willing to switch my meds in favor of something less destructive.

(My next psychiatrist agreed to see me WEEKLY while she weaned me off the meds he had put me on, and spent months checking in with me and tweaking my medications until we found a medication that helped my depression sufficiently without killing my stomach.)

Don’t pay to see doctors who refuse to run tests!

Don’t pay to see doctors whose bedside manner makes you uncomfortable.

Don’t pay to see doctors who ignore your complaints about medications.

Don’t pay to see bad doctors!

What must their home life be like. Like if these are their power games. What goes on behind closed doors. What the fuck.

[dingdongyouarewrong]

okay so i’m not watching supernatural but based on reactions on my dash, they just called castiel the “third winchester brother”, which is wild both in the sense of queerbaiting and also because, if i recall correctly, there is a literal actual biological third winchester brother who went to hell in season 5 and was never mentioned again

Say what you will about Tumblr but it’s rather punk that capitalism has no power here. That we cannot be turned into products and are free to roam the tundra and scream into the woods about whatever like some primal beings.

[simonalkenmayer]

BEHOLD, THE BLOBFISH! I can't make this up. Psychrolutes marcidus looks like this when it's brought up to the surface by fishermen. It's normal habitat is 2000-4000 feet underwater and it loses shape when the pressure of the water decreases.

So they have to kill it to see it out of its habitat?

That’s morbid.

I like his nose.

My problem is less with the language and more with the possibility they are overfeeding their animals

[sqoks-aesthetics]

love the fact tumblr has no awareness for obese animals not being healthy at all and allowing an animal to be Like That is straight up abuse lmao

[therestlessforest]

*sigh* all you had to do was scroll up a little and all this rage could have been avoided

[sepialunaris]

Lmao imagine thinking an organization as reputable and pro conservation as Monterey Bay Aquarium would overfeed their animals

[ctxrover]

Lmao imagine thinking that all animals that have fat on them are obese, overweight and unhealthy rather than some animals just being like that i.e. walruses, seals, etc. because they have to be fat and have blubber because it protects them from the harsh and freezing environments that they live in.

chell, doomguy, link, samus, and master chief are all in the server and not one of them has ever sent a message in it. they all consider the others to be their closest friends

there’s a channel where Red sends pictures of all of his pokemon and they all get a Thumbs Up emoji react from everyone else

[nonasuch]

me, helping a little girl pick out a locket at the shop: do you usually like to wear goldtone or silvertone?

little girl: I like silver because of Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt and also she’s a warrior and she never got married.

me, internally: never let the world change you

[nonasuch]

btw this was only a partial listing of the many Artemis facts imparted to me by this very good small child. I told her Athena was always my favorite so she also told me some Athena facts. 

her dad gave me a look like ‘thank u for being patient’ and I tried to convey with mostly eyebrow moments ‘oh please I WAS this kid, only for ancient Egypt and also Marguerite Henry books’ but i’m not sure it got across

[jabberwockypie]

I just blocked at least three people in the notes on this for being snidely superior calling it fake.

REALLY? Really?

It’s that fucking difficult to believe “a child who was interested in Greek Mythology talked about it enthusiastically with an adult who was paying attention to her”? And then the parent appreciated that the other adult was nice to his kid?

THAT’S your cut-off for unbelievable?

Do you know zero children, or are you just being a dick on purpose? Or were you just a boring-ass kid? OR are you just a dick to children who try to engage with you?

[fandomsandfeminism]

My husband teases me because I will unintentionally make friends with children in public ALL THE TIME. LITERALLY all it takes is if a kid says something to you, even of you already know about it, you go “wow, really?” And smile and nod while they excitedly gibber away.

Most kids aren’t used to adults listening to them. If you show (or feign) genuine interest with what a kid is talking about, letting them feel smart and knowledable for a few minutes, you have won them over FOREVER.

[the-beehive]

That sounds really damn creepy. Not gonna lie. You’re an adult you have no right talking to strange children.

[fandomsandfeminism]

I don’t really know how to explain to you that not every interaction between adults and children is inherently predatory? Like, for example, standing in line next to a family in Disney World and having a kid talk to you about Oswalt the Rabbit while their mother stands next to him isn’t “really creepy.” It’s a normal human interaction, particularly if you view kids as, like…people? Sometimes kids will try to talk to you, even if they don’t know you, and there are appropriate and normal ways to respond to kids when they do. 

But, if YOU feel like YOU can’t interact with children without being creepy, then by all means, please avoid doing so.
