What she says: I’m fine

What she means: In Howl’s Moving Castle Sophie goes back in time and witnesses Howl making his original deal with Calcifer thus discovering the way to break Howl’s curse and before she leaves she tells Howl to find her in the future and if you recall to the beginning of the movie Howl saves Sophie from some highly questionable and rapey soldiers and tells her “there you are sweetheart, sorry I’m late, I’ve been looking everywhere for you” because he took what she told him as a child to heart and has been looking for her ever since and if that’s not the tightest shit ever I don’t know what is

A mystery: my mom says I opened my eyes last night and said really loudly “I had to do it, they were threatening my livelihood,” without actually waking up. I do not remember what I was dreaming, but now I’m really curious.

Also, this would make a really interesting writing prompt. Who are ‘they’? Had to do what? What livelihood was threatened? Hmmm...

[itaveli]

yall know what i love? that kind of black cats that look like some cat-shaped blops of darkness

perfection

[azula-uchiha]

ok but the Old Town Road music video is CRAZY GOOD. Those visuals >>>

[writingmydeliverance]

I also love how playful and fun it is, and spotting the cameos!

Girls don’t want boys. Girls want to glide down ladders in their own private library while their red cloak flutters behind them, owning swords and many chocolates, with fast WiFi at all times.

[fictionalcharactersaremyreality]

i cannot stress this enough

[writingmydeliverance]

Actually true.

[autisticmaze]

who needs therapy when you can make a playlist of songs you know by heart and sing them all very loudly off key while washing the dishes

[writingmydeliverance]

Yeah! This feel! (Except I don’t usually sing off-key, and I do actually have a therapist.)

In the USA, it’s 100x cheaper to take an Uber to the hospital instead of an ambulance.

[lachatteestvivante]

I don’t know if this is true or.. Like, having to pay for an ambulance that is taking you to the hospital? That doesn’t make any sense. What kind of distopian world is that?

[witwitch-deactivated20160508]

It costs thousands of dollars to ride in an ambulance

[ireallyluvdogs]

In America some people with chronic health conditions like epilepsy literally have to wear medical IDs that say “don’t call an ambulance/911”. Some well-meaning person calling an ambulance for you will turn into a thousand (or couple thousand) dollars that YOU are on the hook for, even though you didn’t make the call. So, PSA: if you see someone having a seizure, look for a medical ID! You should only call an ambulance if: the person is elderly, pregnant, or the seizure lasts more than 4 minutes. Otherwise, wait for the seizure to pass, then ask the person if they want an ambulance when they regain consciousness.

[numberoneblind]

wtf

[moonblossom]

Oh my god what. Here in Quebec, if you call an ambulance for something they deem non-emergency, you get a bill later for like $180. But if it’s anything like a loss of consciousness, chest pains, labour, whatever, or if you’re in a public place and a a well-meaning samaritan calls 911, it’s paid for by the government. Seriously, everything about healthcare in the US makes me want to cry.

[fatgirlopinions]

A couple times a good friend of mine who lived close by called me in the middle of the night for a ride to the hospital because she was super sick but couldn’t drive herself and couldn’t afford the charge for an ambulance. I really do think America wants the poor to die.

[loshka]

When I was twelve years old my family got into a severe car accident that injured my mother’s neck. My younger sister and I had to ride in the ambulance with her and during the trip an EMT gave us teddy bears to comfort us. Those teddy bears were added to the bill, $25 each. 

[writingmydeliverance]

A few years ago, I was stung by a bee, had a very mild reaction, and then had a panic attack, because I’d never been stung by a bee before, and I’m allergic to a lot of things, and it scared me. My friends called an ambulance which took me to the hospital, where I discovered that my insurance had lapsed because I didn’t go see my doctor during the transition to Obamacare, and thus didn’t see the special notice in the exam room that I had to call DHS to continue receiving insurance. The hospital kept me in a room for observation for about an hour, and then discharged me.

I later received two bills: $980 for sitting in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines for an hour, and $2000 for the 10 minute ambulance ride.

The hospital called me to shake me down for the money, and I told them the truth: I am a college student with no job (either then or now, actually), with thousands of dollars in student loan debt, scraping together rent and food money through the generosity of my friends and family. They told me they’d send me a packet to fill out to get assisstance, since I’m “low”-income.

I never received such a packet. They called me back months later, asking why I hadn’t paid, I relayed to the person on the phone that I was supposed to receive some kind of packet in the mail to fill out because I couldn’t pay. They person said he’d enquire about the packet and get it sent out.

I never received such a packet. Then, they sent both bills to collections, and ruined my credit score, because I still can’t pay.

[writingmydeliverance]

Here’s another one:

I have specific trauma around the death of my father, which occurred when I was 8 years old, and even though my parents knew it was coming, they didn’t know how to tell me, so I was surprised as fuck when my dad died (on Thanksgiving day, no less). Anyway, I spent the next 3 years crying at the drop of the hat and having all kinds of neltdowns and shutdowns due to my (then undiagnosed) autism being poorly handled in conjunction with my grief.

This trauma was all compounded by the fact that my mom got really sick when I was around 10 years old. One night, she woke me up in the middle of the night because she sidn’t want me to wake up to her gone, and she needed to go to the hospital. She was having really intense chest pains and difficulty breathing. Did she call an ambulance. Not a chance. Instead, my mother got in a car and drove herself to the hospital for that shit, and I spent the next 4 hours watching reruns of Star Trek Next Generation (which I used to watch wih my dad before he died) while hugging a teddy bear and crying because I was afraid my mother would die.

Anyway, at the hospital they eventually misdiagnosed her with multiple sclerosis and sent her home. She later figured out on her own that she has pernicious anemia, which looks like ms but is 100% treatable with B-12 supplemental shots. If caught early enough, the person who has it can recover with absolutely no negative effects. My mom was not caught early enough, and now experiences pain from nerve damage to a significant percent of her body. She still has to work, though, because the US has basically no social safety net and so it’s practically impossible to get on disability. Womp womp.

A conversation with myself

Me: Am I going to puke or shit?

Me: ...

Me:.....

Me:...............,.,.

Me: Well, I'm sweating. So that clears nothing up.

[writingmydeliverance]

Dang, this may be the most I’ve ever related to a post I’ve reblogged...

[spearmint-milkshake]

i just saw a fb post where a man was arguing with a woman about the best way to make macarons and he kept insisting that she was wrong, and then eventually he was like “I’ve never personally made macarons, but if you think about it what I’m saying makes sense, i’m simply stating the obvious. i’m sure there are plenty of youtube tutorials that would show you the same thing.” and the woman replied by linking him to her instagram business page and she makes fuckin macaron towers for parties for a living and i’ve been laughing about it for a solid 5 minutes.

[cocksmasher69]

Men automatically assume they’re more of an expert on something than any woman on account of their dicks. I’ve never met such an ignorant and narcissistic creature as a male

[cheekless0nion]

I’ll never forget a time when a fb friend of mine posted that she’s on her way to hospital to give birth. Women commented with “good luck” and other encouraging messages. A man’s comment was advice on how to give birth. 

[celean0]

You have got to be kidding me

[wreathedinscales]

So I was talking about Jekyll & Hyde (the book) at a writer’s museum while we were looking at an Robert Louis Stevenson exhibit. I was giving my take on Jekyll, and my brother tried to counter it. I countered back easily, and then he said “well I’ve never read the book”

My dude………..stop

[coffeebuddha]

my ex, whose baking experience was pretty much limited to frying premade biscuit dough in boy scouts to make ‘donuts’, would constantly try to correct me or give me advice on baking

i’m a fucking pastry chef

[gotlostintheuniverse]

met a dude at a party who was talking about physics and asked if i’d ever listened to any online physics lectures bc he listened to all of this one series and they were so helpful and maybe i could learn some physics too

i have a degree in physics

and am a published coauthor in astrophysics

[sxpositive]

the best part is that the woman who invented the term ‘mansplaining’ (her name is Rebecca Solnit and i highly recommend her collection of essays) came up with it when she was at a party one night and a man tried to explain a book to her, and wouldn’t let her speak long enough for her to tell him that

she wrote the bloody book he was mansplaining to her

[saltiestsoprano]

You know I have plenty examples of this but that last one takes the cake so imma just let it be.

[liberalsarecool]

Trump racism poisons all his decisions. Trump can never acknowledge black excellence.

[paninimami]

What’s his name and what’d he do? I wanna look him up

[paprikanoir-deactivated20190515]

He teaches incarcerated kids to honor his mom who was denied education. Now, he's National Teacher of the Year.

Rodney Robinson's mom grew up during segregation and wasn't able to graduate from high school due to poverty. Still, she taught him to value

I’m glad you asked! Read more about Rodney Robinson here! This man is a treasure.

[xiaoguiwang]

there are actors that people refer to as shapeshifters bc theyve played in so many movies in which they look nothing like their other parts and then. there’s michael sheen.

[drunkenhills]

I see this and I raise you: Stanley Tucci

It took me years to connect all his roles, they’re so wildly different. His talent prevents him from being more appreciated because nobody realizes it’s him everytime

[writingmydeliverance]

I realize it’s him, but only cuz I’ve lowkey been obsessed with Stanley Tucci since I saw him in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

[antifa-hulk]

People on here will be like “oooh hozier has fae energy”, “my last brain cell”, “ I’m going feral”, “oooh I’m gonna steal your teeth op” and honestly I’m glad you goofballs are having fun instead of being assholes to eachother

[writingmydeliverance]

Bold of you to assume I’m not actually gonna steal your teeth, op

[marisatomay]

gays are bad at math because instead of spreading it evenly so all gays are moderately competent at math the talent is heavily concentrated into a chosen few but it takes a long time to recharge The Math Gay Battery which is why Isaac Newton and Jon Lovett were born 300 years apart

[queenaneesrevenge]

Alan Turing cost us 100 years of math skills

[writingmydeliverance]

Sounds legit to me.
