I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you cancel/postpone an event or activity because you’re not feeling up to it physically or emotionally, and then you feel better after resting/not doing the thing, this doesn’t mean that you were lying, or that you actually were well enough. You just gave yourself the time you needed to rest and recover. Look after yourselves.

the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work

You better watch out, buddy – I have extremely unusual life experiences which I mistakenly believe are universal, and I'm about to misinterpret your post in ways you can't even imagine.

this is such a rude and obviously targeted thing to make me, a man with a problem, read

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

Stay away from anything with charcoal during this season if you are on ANY medication!!!

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

This applies to oral medications. The charcoal can’t get into your bloodstream. If you’re on gel or needles, you’re safe. If you’re taking it orally, don’t take charcoal while your medication is in your stomach.

[justabramble]

Reblog because birth control and HRT is so so important

[ferallindsay]

activated charcoal in food is not likely to be a large enough dose to interfere with medications. large doses of charcoal can absorb oral medications if taken within about two hours, and that's worth keeping in mind, but outside of that you're safe to indulge 🖤

is hot topic threatening me

[peniswakt-deactivated20210717]

this may be an Unpopular Opinion (even on tumblr) but like the 8-hour workday is just Too Gotdamn Long

like even sitting in an office for eight hours a day isn’t particularly pleasant (or healthy, as we are beginning to see) but when we’re talking about doing *actual work* for that same amount time it gets pretty fucking brutal

doing literally *anything* (even leisure activities) for eight hours straight tends to be less than enjoyable but when we’re talking about things like construction, landscaping, factory work, and hell, even foodservice and retail, eight hours is a fucking ETERNITY

i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong

[tyrannosaurus-rex]

this was being worked towards by leftist labor unions way back in the day after the time of FDRs new deal. people in the 40s and 50s were already starting to realize that we no longer actually needed an 8 hour work day or even a 5 day work week.

even with the comparatively primitive factory tech of the time we were already creating a huge amount of excess production back then and companies were making massive amounts of profit. So it already stood to reason that companies should either let their employees work less and thus each employee could work a shorter shift without lowering the yearly compensation of each employee, or in cases where businesses provide an active service they would shorten the shift but hire more people to cover the necessary operating time. but of course that would mean less money for people at the top so companies fought back hard and we ended up with nixon’s bullshit and so on and now its considered the norm for us to spend the vast majority of our lives doing work that really just amounts to waste. 

[dreamer-of-centipedes]

The IWW realised this and were fighting for it all the way back in the 1930s. This is a take with a lot of historical and theoretical grounding, OP, so you’re standing in good stead.

[aztechnology]

I’d also like to add it’s also been studied and scientifically proven that after 6 hours, we have an extremely noticeable drop in productivity. Sweden saw nothing but benefits from a 6-hour work day, including worker productivity, happiness, and half the amount of sick-leave used when applied to nurses.

[laughterkey]

Just gonna add that the IWW is still kicking and basically anyone who is not an employer can join.
