it’s fucking wild because one day you’re like i guess i’m not dying tragically young and you go to the store and you buy dental floss, ingredients for soup, and a bath mat

[probuccalfat]

it’s this sentiment in practice, in day to day.

I went to my local pride festival. (Yes, in late July.) It was really hot (Midwest corn sweat season). Then, it started downpouring with thunder, & radar was showing worse coming. We (sister's family & I) left promptly.

I am old & disabled. I'm not suffering this weather 😩

[redstonedust]

its funny when events that probably couldve been traumatic dont bother you so you'll end up casually dropping stuff like "so after that time i almost got lost at sea as a kid-" and theyll be like WHAT and youre like. oh yeah dont worry its just part of my lore. its honestly not even a top five interesting backstory moment. focus please.

please put in the tags how many siblings you have and whether you’re a competitive person or not it’s for science

terfs would lose their minds if they were exposed to 2000s-2010s "a girl can do anything a boy can do, including beating them at sports" messaging like why are you all acting like nobody has ever said this and that it's radical to think that women aren't inherently worse at things. open your mind. read some feminist theory. touch some grass. the most basic banal middle-class white woman feminism of the 2010s looks fucking radical and visionary compared to the misogynistic victimization complex y'all are peddling

twitter is owned by a tech bro supervillain, facebook is getting rid of FACT checking bc it’s “biased” and moving all moderators to texas, tik tok is getting banned (I’ll b using a vpn but still), insta is owned by the dude getting rid of fact checking……but tumblr? good old tumblr? here she remains, vastly unchanged but for the few updates we usually bully staff into undoing. a true stronghold of democracy and free speech. waiting for those who abandoned her to come crawling back. bc yah. we’re still here

Happy first day of Pride month!

To all my fellow LGBTQIA+ members, I hope you have a wonderful 30 days of celebration of how far we have come. And here's to how far we will go in the future!

Be safe! Stay hydrated! And be yourself!

This is a personal post.

We just found out my dad is cheating on my mom, & he is leaving. While we are all adults, this is really difficult as we have been living in our childhood home.

He said the stress of us all & the house made up his mind on leaving. There is no chance of reconciliation.

I don't really have outside emotional support & this is my only social that I don't have him or my mom on. I just need someone to talk, tell me a story or a joke, or just be my friend. Please.

Shoutout...

To everyone who told me my political views would become more conservative as I got older.

You were all super wrong. I keep getting more liberal by the day. Pretty sure the only reason I'm an independent voter at this point is I recognize that our two-party system is flawed, and I refuse to bend my knee to it.

Single People Advice from a Greyromantic Asexual!

If you ever feel like you want an SO to cuddle for the long cold winter nights, try a heated mattress topper!

Pros:

You still get your entire bed to yourself.

If you are still cold, turn the heat up.

If you get too hot, turn the heat down.

You don't have to worry about someone hogging the blanket.

Cons:

No cuddling. (Easily fixed with a giant teddy bear!) (Also, this could be a pro, depending on who you are.)

100% would recommend. If you still want an SO after a couple weeks, then it probably isn't due to the cold, and you should probably seek advice from someone else.

#can we just take a moment to appreciate

#that Clint

#while holed up doing a job of watching all the scientists working away

#managed to work out BEFORE the quantum physicist exactly what the fuck is going on

#with the tesseract

#by using pure logic

#it also shows that even though Nick chastises him for doing his whole ‘brood in the rafters’ nesting thing

#that Clint was paying attention the whole damn time

#this is the guy who can fire arrows without looking

#who can calculate on the fly the trajectory needed to lodge an explosive arrow into a propeller

#I will punch anyone who says Clint is useless or a deadweight because he’s squishy-human and is only good for being a marksman

#because he’s deceptively smart

#and plays that close to his chest

This scene is the argument I use any time anyone tells me that he’s an irrelevant character.

Some of you were never raised in a cult and it shows.

Like, the cult I was raised in started out as a normal Pentecostal church (well, what's normal for that denomination), and I got good, Godly word. But at some point, when I was too naive to notice, it became a cult.

Nowadays, I have most of my brain straightened out, but for awhile, I had to re-teach myself what the Bible actually says. Also, I have major trust issues from the emotional & verbal abuse from my pre-teen years to age 16 (when we left).

Anyway, this is to say that churches can cross over into cults without you noticing if you don't know the signs of a cult. So, look those up & protect yourselves!

[secifosseluce]

quick, tell me the weirdest compliment you’ve ever gotten. my doctor told me i have impeccable eardrums 

[drakatzen]

my dentist once told me (in an appreciative tone) that i have huge neanderthal-like canine teeth

[secifosseluce]

oh i AM losing my mind over this 

[78nanosieverts]

I have frequently had doctors complain to me that I have tiny ear canals and like

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with that information besides apologize for providing a subpar patient experience?

[nerdyqueerandjewish]

When I had surgery, the anesthesiologist had me open up my mouth so they could “see what they were working with” when they intubated me and they were like “oh nice, lots of room! [assistant] come look!” And the assistant came to look down my throat and was like “nice” 😂

[yidquotes]

My wife, when we were first dating, told me I reminded her of a walrus, you know, a really pretty one.

[physticuffs]

a dancer once told me i had beautiful achilles tendons. (they are v long, i think. i have always been able to squat with my feet flat on the floor with no practice, which is unusual for americans.)

my doctor told me that my blood pressure is excellent, like yes i’m young and healthy but i have blood pressure out of a medical textbook, and i told my mom that and my mom said oh yes, you have genetically perfect blood pressure. you inherited it from my side of the family.

[despazito]

A mortician told me my skintone is so pale I’d be a pain in the ass to embalm

[eusociality]

A yoga instructor complimented me on having “stretchy hips” - I’m not overall flexible I just apparently accidentally trained myself to be a master of all hip opening yoga poses by sitting in the weirdest ways possible at home.

[ehlbee]

My sonographer exclaimed that I have “the cutest little uterus” while giving me an ultrasound.

[pastrygeckos]

I once went to a doctor for hip pain, she proceeded to lay me down and stretch my legs all kinds of ways, going “wow you’re so flexible, I guess you’re fine”. I’m hypermobile.

I have excellent veins. “Very juicy,” said the nice totally-not-a-vampire nurse taking my blood for a hormonal panel.

[thatwilsongirl2]

I had my blood drawn for blood tests (woo! Anemia!) & the tech said my veins are much better than my dad's.

To understand this, my dad is a childhood cancer survivor, so he has spent a lot of time in & out of the hospital with a lot of blood draws. The techs at our local hospital (small county = 1 hospital until recently we got a second branch on the opposite side of town, sort of like a walk-in clinic) know my dad real well. His veins are so hard to prick that they usually go through 3 or 4 techs before they get it.

So, when the tech found my vein on the first try, she was happily surprised. (But fun fact, only my left arm is like that, my right arm is near impossible.)

[slowspinningredemption]

listen. from the bottom of my heart. what do you mean, 2000 was 20 years ago.

[slowspinningredemption]

people born in 2000 need to stop commenting on this post because i’m not ready to accept yall are nearly 20 years old and not righteously in preschool where you should be
