Thoughts I think to myself and now to the Internet

Sometimes you want to send random thoughts to your friends and then you realize its the middle of the night, or the thoughts are about a show they don't watch, or whatever, idk how this site works but the point is I'm here to shitpost.

Being CONSTIPATED can make you SLEEPY

This has been a PSA bc I never knew that. Did yall know that? The human body is crazy

[voidshoutingsillytime]

Not to be lazy and disengaged but I feel like I need an app to tell me what shit we’re boycotting when bc there’s just so much and it can be hard to keep up, esp since I’m like, barely on social media

like I know this does not help with the uncritical liberal hive-mind allegations but something like yelp that had the brands and was like “here’s why people are boycotting, here’s what would have to change to end it, etc” and like, maybe an easy search for local alternatives. Have a voting system (like ratings) to show how widespread the agreement to boycott is, let you mark that you’re participating, maybe sign up for a nudge if the boycott ends, or after some time period to ask if you’re still participating

don’t get me wrong, I understand why we can’t do this bc bots and data security and privacy and all of that. I get that my desire for this is driven by the fact that I get the news late bc I’m not super active online. I get that we should be thoughtful about the ways we engage politically and how we communicate our message

But also. I’m tired. I work all day. I want to support the progressive movement. I don’t want to undermine our efforts by crossing a picket line I didn’t know was there, because I was too spent to sift through articles. It feels like a personal failing but it’s really just. So much.

did I do it? am I tumbling?

good morning to everyone except my motherfuckering insomnia anyway who thinks I should teach myself to make puff pastry in the 1-2 hours before my family wakes up my 4am brain says it’s a good idea

[voidshoutingsillytime]

Btw I did make puff pastry but first I went for a walk. And took a nap.

It turned out ok, a bit overworked maybe. Or over baked, unclear. Pictured here with our new years charcuterie in the background

I’m seeing a bunch of posts that make me think most USAmericans don’t know about The No Surprises Act.

It was passed in 2021 (thank you Biden) and essentially states that if you don’t have insurance or your insurance doesn’t cover a service you need (or want) you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of care. (If your insurance does cover the service, you should be able to estimate the cost of care based on your deductible and co-pay.)

As a healthcare provider who does not accept any insurance, I am very careful to not violate The No Surprises Act. Why? Because for every penny more than $400 that the Good Faith Estimate was “off” (or if it wasn’t provided), you are entitled to a refund for that amount.

Y’all. Ask for a Good Faith Estimate. Get it in writing. Compare it to what you are paying. If you are not provided an estimate or if it’s wrong by more than $400, demand a refund.

[whimsyandmayhem]

I’m reforging this for the second time in five minutes because I needed to add that part of this is also about what your health insurance provider is required to do. They’re required to tell you what your out of pocket cost will be. If you contact them and they say actually they don’t know but your copay is X%, you can ask them to call the provider and get the codes they plan to use to bill for your services. If the provider is in network they’ll have negotiated rates in place so the insurer will know exactly how much you can be charged for that service and then they have to tell you. No surprise huge medical bills even if you are insured.

Adding onto this. If you have a surgical procedure that involves anesthesia, the No Surprises Act also accounts here. Most anesthesia companies/providers are OON (out of network) with most, if not all insurances. If your service is performed in an in-network facility, they are REQUIRED to bill as in-network due to this law.

[breelandwalker]

This alongside demanding an itemized bill for any and all hospital stays, surgeries, and procedures, including the outpatient ones.

Everyone reblog this. Mandatory.

Do we think Alastor is going to be redeemed? Bc it feels to me like hell is his personal playground and he likes that. Idk I’d be kinda sad if the pet psychopath turned out to be full of regret.

Instead I like the idea of Lucifer being redeemed (/allowed back into Heaven) and Alastor becoming King of Hell

Listening to ACOTAR and I was not expecting it to get quite so steamy while I was sitting with my family so I’m just here with my headphones like 😳

[onesomewhatpeevedwasp]

When you learn how to crochet/ knit or really any type of fiber arts, there will be a voice in your head that tells you that you should make something for everyone for the holidays.

Do not listen to that voice, for it is the devil.

[voidshoutingsillytime]

People will say, “don’t worry. No one will remember that”. And it is often a comfort, I think.

But so what if I do remember that embarrassing thing you did,

And so what if I look back and laugh a little?

It is with love that I remember you, even your little mistakes or missteps.

Please be at peace, dear one. I do not search back through my memories of you for some reason to hate you. I remember you and smile, and think how nice it would be to see you again. I will not torment you with a memory that you would not find joy in, but perhaps I will send you a postcard, or a small message, a joke that made me laugh.

If it would make you more at ease then I would forget these moments, but not for any other reason could you wrest them from my grasp, for they are memories of you, my treasured friend, and I love you in all moments, without exception.

Gravity is a fantastic song but I can’t WAIT for the inevitable reprise when Lute takes things too far and Falls(TM)

[thesaddestcactus27]

Mistakes are innate to being human and alive

We fall, we repent, we survive

There’s hope for us all as we strive!

[voidshoutingsillytime]

been thinking a lot about Pentious and Cherri and the need for enrichment in one's enclosure... like it kinda seems like Heaven is Not Set Up for souls with somewhat destructive interests/ tendencies. to put it lightly.

I mean... Lute uses Adams room as a rage room.

These are not the actions of someone with access to therapy or a healthy place to express their emotions.

And lets not forget one of the most chilling lines in early season 1...

boredom does straight-up seem to be the reason Adam decided to move up the extermination. (that and casual disregard for human life)

Anyway all this leads me to my main point: Heaven needs a HellLite. A place with safety measures in place, where souls with a competitive or destructive streak can get in fights or have turf wars or build big dangerous machines or scheme maniacally.... a "Heck", if you will

I mean, there's a reason Vaggi joined the exorcists in the first place, and while we don't know what it was.... idk I mean their recruiting probably has some level of appeal to the adrenaline-seeking winners.

At the end of the day they can go back to the sugar and pangolins and unicorn polo. But I think they're going to need some better outlets for the souls up there, and the sooner the better

I don’t engage in fandom spaces as much as a lot of people so I’m probably missing a couple huge things but…. how the FUCK does Rosie have the power to make Alastor the most powerful sinner in Hell??? Would she not have to have that kind of power to start with? Or does the Deal magic just take care of it? What’s stopping someone else from making a nearly identical deal?

this is where I feel like there must be answers in the fandom already but idk where… but like what makes a sinner in hell powerful? Owning souls, sure, being able to make deals seems like a special skill (based on Vaggi referring to Alastor being a Deal-Maker in s1). Is it something you can learn?

I need answers!! *slams fist on desk of old timey newspaper office*
