I am Thread and this is where I talk. Mostly to myself.

When you accidentally end up in an argument in the comments section and then realize the person you're talking to is too young to have reading comprehension skills so you give up and block them ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

TilTok is interesting, because what do you mean when you are yelling "a crime is not a kink" to the AO3 fic writers during Kinktober???

Literally anything can be a kink. In real life. That is why it is on the list. Because it is a real kink. Why are we always yelling at fanfic writers???? Like man, chill out and avoid the event.

It is not the fanfic author's fault that bad people read their smut for bad reasons. Most people are not in the category.

I can't wait to associate the Tuesday before Thanksgiving with my uterus being evicted more than I associate the Wednesday before Thanksgiving with a life-changing, traumatic, failed surgery 🥳

"I liked Kill la Kill (except the fanservice)" is such a wild statement because I always thought that, collectively, the majority, weren't watching it for the fanservice and were just asking "what the hell am I watching" while getting emotionally attached to sailor fuku???

Like I never took it as fanservice in the "ecchi" genre way, moreso that Studio Trigger is weird as hell like that.

Do we need to teach people about "ecchi"? Because I'm never going to assume you are watching something for fanservice unless it is that specific genre. Like wtf.

Remembering that time I looked up a patient's name because I hadn't seen them in months, just to see the little leaf of death because I just kind of had a feeling based on what I knew and now I'm crying again.

"Can I just sign a note with my own [period] blood," I asked the gynecologist after profusely apologizing for what I was about to say, because I didn't know I had to pee in a cup and had gone to the bathroom already.

Of all the things she may have expected, I guarantee that was not one of them! She was more on the amused side than the upset side.

Hey, maybe don't make someone your legal guardian if you can still make all your medical decisions and want to be able to sign for yourself. Maybe do a POA instead of at least not get mad because you didn't understand the legal system.

I just don't want to have to pretend that people are being reasonable and should be taken seriously when they're concerned about being administrated a vaccine while they're unconscious with a scope up their ass or because they've fallen and need a CT to make sure they don't have a concussion or fractures or whatever.

I don't want that to be normalized.

I don't want to try and reason and ease these concerns. I want to tell people go the fuck home then. Go home, stay home, never leave the house, and try to avoid needing medical care if they are that worried about vaccines.

Sometimes it's a very insulting interaction and I think they should be made to feel embarrassed by it.

Like sir, by the time you realized that no one was sticking a needle in you for your x-ray, you could have already left the building. And I'm supposed to pretend you're not a moron?

I would rather be seasonally depressed than sleep deprived. Daylight savings is kicking my ass. My body knows better. I'm so tired.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE US, PLEASE READ THIS

Posting this from the bird app since I hope it can help people.

People have been contacting the White House directly to demand a recount, especially since there has been evidence that not every ballot has been counted and will be thrown away if it hasn't been cured.

The link to contact the White House is here!

Contact Us | The White House

Contact the President, Vice President, get help with a Federal Agency, or request a Presidential Greeting.

The following screenshot comes from here!

If you need help writing something, check under the cut! I've provided a prewritten response from one of the replies!

"I am a concerned citizen, and I need you to hear me. I urge you to recount the ballots from this election and investigate election interference. Bomb threats have been called into multiple polling locations, causing some to close early. Domestic terrorists have burned ballot boxes. An unprecedented number of ballots have been rejected and require curing. There have been reports of polling officers allowing voter intimidation in and outside of polling places across the country and an estimated 20 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. In addition, many people have reported that ballots were not counted for suspicious reasons such as signature invalidation which is information that vote counters do not have access to. These events have occurred in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia, for instance."

Feel free to add and change what you want, this is just a base for you to work off of.

BIGGER TUMBLR USERS PLEASE SPREAD THIS. THIS IS IMPORTANT. THERES ARE MILLIONS OF DISPLACED VOTES. WE NEED A RECOUNT

[inky-quilled-dragon]

Here’s my template, if anyone’s interested.

To whom it may concern.

I’m writing due to a concern that I and many share, that there was interference with the 2024 election. Despite multiple reports of record turnout, overall there were 20 million fewer votes counted than in 2020, with three million of those having been cast for Mr. Trump in that election. In addition, multiple people are reporting their mail-in ballots have not been registered as accepted.

His comments about having a ‘secret’ that would win him the election, his declaring to his followers that he did not ‘need’ their votes, the russian-originated bomb threats at polling locations—all of these and more are extremely suspicious. I find it hard to believe that he would poll better in 90% of districts this election, even after the fallout of Roe v. Wade, the felony convictions, and the notable lack of enthusiasm around this campaign.

I am a citizen of the world. I am terrified about the ramifications a second Trump term could have for minorities and people in general both in America and across the globe.

I beg of you, please investigate. He has attempted to overthrow the electoral process before, and essentially promised to do so this time.

Perhaps it’s nothing, and America really has signed the death warrants of dozens at the least. Perhaps, though, it’s something. I believe in the American people, still. I think it warrants a try.

And in the event that it doesn’t mean anything, then please, i implore the current administration to use the unchecked executive power granted by the supreme court to preemptively mitigate as much harm as is possible, before January. There are things you can do that will help people, please use that ability.

I’m scared. We’re all scared. Please don’t bow out without even a little fuss, and a thorough, public investigation.

Thank you for your time.

Kind of fucked up how much people emphasize how awful the prep for a colonoscopy is and somehow it is not nearly as bad as my symptoms from IBS + GERD.

Also the prep that's the two 6 oz bottles isn't that bad to consume either (as someone who gags on flavors and textures easily). If you have it over ice it's pretty easy to chug and the aftertaste is like cough syrup and doesn't linger that long. It's not good by any means but it isn't god awful disgusting either.

Literally just crying because I'm so overwhelmed, not knowing how the fuck to keep up with fandom news because nothing seems to work the way it used to and I don't know how to cope with it. I feel so disconnected from something that still gets occasional post-series content because and brought me so much joy for years. I deeply love it but feel like there's no way to connect with other people. I feel like I might as well still be offline.

I wish I could call off tomorrow 🫠

"way too liberal for Ohio"

That doesn't sound like the insult that the campaign marketers think it is.

Like yeah, it isn't actually that hard to be too liberal for Ohio. But how is that the best slogan you can come up with against this politician? That's seriously the thing you're going with?

Someone got paid to come up with that line.

I'm not saying that it won't be effective on right-wing Ohioans, it definitely will be, but that doesn't make it good.
