There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.

[skygenders]

The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.

[skygenders]

Seattle Children’s says Laurelhurst noise concerns burdens lifesaving care for children

The hospital says some limits on helipad access add pressure when children need lifesaving care.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and is only getting traction because a pilot complained on Twitter.

um. yeah. trans people suffering because of where jk rowling is actively putting her money. get your terf bullshit off my post

[allamericansbitch]

saying that the swiftologist has a “critical lens” and how important that is… when he’s in the middle of being called out for being openly racist and misogynistic (which is like a monthly occurrence now) is so wild to me…..

[itoldyouthings]

Because did you ever think it’s a safety reason for why Taylor can’t post political stuff anymore she gets threats that you don’t even see and you want her to post something just to make yourself happy to get likes on here that she posted something? Did you even watch her eras tour doc when she broke down in tears about talking about the victims of the attacks that happened? Just say you don’t like her anymore and stop being a two faced bitch you’ll be crawling up her ass again when she drops an album that isn’t LOASG.

average american citizens are getting slaughtered in the street like cattle by their own government in broad daylight with crowds of people watching and filming. and then the same government is lying to our faces about what we all saw with our own eyes. i really don’t want to hear a thing about the safety of a protected billionaire right now

[itoldyouthings]

seeing everyone speaking up at the grammys last night has just made me even more disappointed in taylor lol

[itoldyouthings]

@shegavemeroses right right!

[allamericansbitch]

imagine texting carelessly with your best friend about whatever topic because that's the most normal thing for a person in the world to do and the next thing you know is that those chats get publicised to the whole world and no one cares that you are a victim to sexual abuse but only about the fact that some of the chats to your best friend sound "cringe"

I feel like this is exactly the tactic Baldoni and his people are using and hoping for, make everyone forget the real serious reason for the court case, which is sexual harassment/assault, and just fill everyone's minds with meaningless pop culture gossip. Muddy up the waters and just confuse people, i's exactly what Depp and his team did. Why are we caring about text messages when multiple women were made uncomfortable at the workplace...

Every time Madison Beer releases a new project, I give her another chance to see if this is the time she finally hooks me, and every single time I end up being met with if Billie Eilish had less creative direction/vision and more generic songwriting

[allamericansbitch]

Fandoms are genuinely so fragile and infantilizing because why did I just see a sad edit of Madison Beer with the audio being someone giving her light constructive criticism about her needing to create her own sound, literally what I said, and everyone is acting like she called her an untalented loser. This is why music journalists can’t do their jobs anymore and coddle every artists out of self protection. Your fav can do wrong! And that shouldn’t have an effect on you!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: one of the only few bad things about Tolkien's legendarium is that it makes 90% of all other fantasy worlds look either completely or somewhat mediocre in comparison.

Like, what do you mean you don't have a fictional language for your fantasy world? WEAKLINGS

[aureentuluva70]

This man right here gets it.

[farewell-to-lorien]

Yep, Tolkien's linguistic puns and translation jokes are legendary. Although it's not accurate to say the in-universe origin of the books is that an elf told the stories to Tolkien. Rather, Tolkien is translating them from a volume he found, written in Westron, called the Red Book of Westmarch. This contains Bilbo's book (The Hobbit), Frodo and Sam's additions to it, (LoTR), as well as Bilbo's translations of Elvish histories he encountered during his time in Rivendell (The Silmarillion). These were all in one volume and Tolkien himself made the editorial decision to publish them all separately. Even more fascinating, the Red Book is not even the original writings, which of course would have been lost by now to time and disintegration. It's actually a copy of the original, or probably a copy of a copy, multiple times removed. And it wasn't copied from the original, either, but from a copy that made it to Gondor where it was annotated and corrected. There's probably even more to its history that I'm forgetting, but yeah, even this kind of metatextual provenance was something Tolkien thought a lot about that very few writers even consider anymore. Which, of course, they're not obligated to; but the fact that Tolkien was even interested in that kind of thing just shows how above and beyond he went

something that i think is so interesting about so long london (and especially ‘you sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days’) is how it compares to this is my trying. as someone who struggles with anxiety and depression i really loved the conversation she and jack had during long pond about how sometimes the best you can do is not jump and that is trying and maybe that’s enough. that song means so much to me because that was unfortunately very close to how i felt at the time. the lyrics also don’t blame anyone for having to try but, in comparison, ssl shifts that into actively blaming the other person. a sacrifice requires action. it requires an active choice to be made. she’s essentially saying that simply trying isn’t enough if it isn’t reflected in your actions which completely negates the point she made on timt. and i know it’s kinda silly but now a song that used to give me great comfort when i was struggling just feels meaningless and i’m kinda sad about it.

You're so right, actually. It's so unbelievable to me how she can go from a place of such sympathy and empathy with people in timt, but then being so apathetic in ttpd. Another example is her saying she wrote timt about people struggling with addiction, to then mock people with drug addictions later on in songs. Like, how do you have that little self-awareness to notice that hypocrisy?

[allamericansbitch]

It’s kinda crazy how you can be listening to a few songs from ttpd and be like “maybe i misjudged this album” but then there’s that string of songs that’s like “ugh my boyfriend’s depression is so annoying like get better already” “i love my racist boyfriend and hate that my fans are anti-racist” “let me make fun of drug addiction for a second” and then a charlie puth jumpscare and you go oop nevermind.

Lowkey kind of pissed off that the doc series framed the switch to the gold Reputation body suit as something fans freaked out about just because it was a new outfit.

At no point was anyone assuming that switching the Rep body suit was just a fun little outfit change. We thought it was the signal for her releasing Rep TV, just like the blue outfits signaling 1989 TV. It makes us all look like we're losing our minds over a color change for no reason...like, yeah we love it when she adds a new outfit, but Rep was a whole different animal.
