okay, i’m curious. let’s play a game. reblog this post and put in the tags the name of a fictional Indigenous character.

No headcanons, no ‘coding’, only CANONICALLY Indigenous characters. You have unlimited time. Go.

if another FUCKING person mentions the fucking werewolves from twilight I'm going to burn this whole site down and take you all with me

friend is trying to convince me this is a common experience and I do not believe her, so

Do you expect to be paid back if you pay for something for your friend while you’re hanging out? (I.E. a ride, a meal, a trinket.)

Yes, always

Yes, but only if it’s above a limit of money

No, never

I don’t buy things for my friends.

Remaining time: 1 day 18 hours

For a more illustrative example, say you go to the movies with a friend and you buy them popcorn, do you expect them at some point to send you money back via cash or through an app of some kind? Will you be upset if they don’t?

the thing about misogyny is that nothing makes apparent how prevalent it is faster than just pointing out misogyny, which will have people scuttering out of the damn sewers like ninja turtles to accuse you of being an overly sensitive shit-stirring know-nothing who's making up things to be offended about. which is actually also pretty misogynistic, but if you point it out people will come scuttering out of the damn sewers—

i am well aware of the absolutely fucked up things eating disorders do to people’s brains, and i am sympathetic, but I still think acknowledging publicly that these celebrities are promoting looking emaciated on death’s door is important. Can you imagine being 13 and seeing this shit? Every celebrity event looks like a thinspo board, it’s awful.

[confessionsdiaz]

People talk about women's bodies far too much; this is true. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be addressing the elephant in the room of insane weight loss and eds. it isnt fucking normal or healthy

[navigatorwrongway]

#also rich women and famous women are NOT the same as your classmate Becky who doesnt eat.#they have more power money options and access to therapy and mental health and medical services of every kind#And power to influence the culture than any one of us ever will#and this is what they do with it??? Yeah no.#Plus calling out that someone looks dangerously underweight isnt the fucking same as#Like. Saying theyre ugly or idk any of the fatphobic body shaming other ppl hear all the time#it doesnt have to be the same as insults. Its just not and anyone who insists the two are always the same#is simply wrong or lying. Sorry not sorry#this shit gets people killed. Its way past time to name this trend as dangerous.#the fear of being perceived as Mean or a Bad Feminist has too many of us in a chokehold#and it does so much harm. We gotta unlearn it lets do it together

once a celebrity has accumulated enough wealth that they could retire and live decently off their investments for the rest of their lives (in the US right now, this number is well under $10 million), the excuse that they have to push pro-ed propaganda for the sake of their careers is no longer valid, imo. you don't actually need to do that to get by! you're choosing it! you could quit and buy a three bedroom house in a nice neighborhood and volunteer three days a week and go to therapy and eat like a human being!

For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.

Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.

[chapscher]

Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

“I’m afraid of getting cancer from the cadmium in my painting supplies” I’m not 😌 I love you cadmium yellow. I love you vermillion red. I love you uranium orange, haven’t worked with you but I love you nevertheless. Most of all I love you arsenic green.

This dress could kill you but I completely understand why people in the late 19th century were willing to take that risk.

Here is uranium orange fiestaware, proving that beauty truly is pain.

just found out about London purple 🤤

[bundibird]

I was wondering what was involved with London purple so as to merit its inclusion alongside such stars as arsenic green and uranium orange, and --

Ah, cool, gotcha

Do you like the color of the poison?

You know what was used as yellow dye for almost thirty years between its discovery and its current use?

The other day I told a friend of mine that I never forget to take my ADHD meds because I fucking love my ADHD meds. I'm in my late 30s, I didn't finally get a diagnosis and meds until less than two years ago, and they have changed my entire life.

And he raised his eyebrow at me. We'd been discussing addictive medications a few minutes before, like the Tramadol I finally got from the pain specialist to take once a week or so to give me a break from my chronic pain, so I reassured him that methylpenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is not addictive (at least not in people with ADHD).

His response? To raise his eyebrow even harder and say "Well it sure SOUNDS like it's addictive!"

And I had to explain to this man - who works in a healthcare related job by the way - that just because medication makes you feel good and helps you, just because you look forward to taking it, that doesn't make it addictive or dangerous. And he wasn't convinced.

The simple fact that I was excited to take a daily pill that has literally changed my life, after decades of fighting to get that medication, made him think I shouldn't be taking it so often. That it must inherently be dangerous.

I'm not even in America, but I'm pretty sure this attitude began there and then spread over here to Europe. This Puritan idea of "if something feels good, you must beware of it. Pleasure is dangerous, it is sinful, it is addiction, it is evil."

I know too many people who subconsciously believe that pleasure = addictive = dangerous = bad. Joy is a slippery slope to hell.

So here is your reminder for today that you don't need to be afraid of feeling good. If something improves your life, use it. Even if it is addictive - learn what that addiction means, whether the addiction is inherently dangerous or not, and whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and risks.

My ADHD meds are, in fact, not addictive. But I will take them every day because they make my life orders of magnitude easier. I will enjoy them every time I take them.

My tramadol is addictive. I will still take it. I will keep it on a schedule to avoid becoming addicted, primarily because addiction in this case would mean reduced effectiveness. But I am not afraid of my painkillers. They are life changing.

Take your meds, everyone. Don't let anyone scare you away from doing something that improves your life.

[inbabylontheywept]

There is something so sinister about the idea that a medication made to improve your life cannot be trusted if it improves your life so much that you like taking it. Bleh.

[inbabylontheywept]

It puts this weird moral obligation on suffering. Like if you’re actually comfortable with yourself and your treatment you’re somehow failing. That you need to be ashamed somehow that the medication helps you and need to be looking for alternatives.

But you don’t. You found a solution that worked great and then you moved on to something else.

My name is The Vampire Lestat. I have a snatched waist and a babe-a-licious body. I have perfectly conditioned blond hair and eyes that change like a Forever 21 mood ring from the mid 2000s. I have full lips with no lip filler.

[byjove]

My tits are huge my pussy is wet and my bills are all paid. I am also a famous rockstar.

[byjove]

It is so important to me that everyone knows this post is the first page of The Vampire Lestat rephrased and condensed:

“Right now I am what America calls a Rock Superstar.” has to be one of the greatest lines in all of fiction
