this is going to be difficult -> i am capable of doing difficult things -> i have done everything prior to this moment -> this difficulty will soon be proof of capability
less "this is gonna suck", more "finally a test worthy of my skills"
TRUE it drives me crazy when I see people go “yeah well at this point they just both suck” yes. yes they do. but when your options are racist sexist xenophobic homophobic intentionally destructive capitalist internet troll drunk on power and joe biden. one of these options is substantially better than the other
Not voting is also a vote for Trump, and I think that’s something people don’t wholly understand. Capitalism has taught people to believe that what you consume represents who you are. And now people think that voting is the same as buying fair-trade chocolate or something, with the option to buy no chocolate if no (alleged) fair-trade bar is at the store. That’s not what politics is, though. To be a citizen of an empire is to always have blood on our hands, and we’re part of a giant fucking empire. We were all already complicit in America’s crimes. But we are most complicit in bloodshed when we shirk our duty to use the most immediately available method to keep Trump away from the executive office. Taking your hands off the wheel isn’t a “choice” and it sure as fuck isn’t a moral one when the car is speeding headlong towards fascism.

So this post is the single reason I took my meds today. Reblogging out of duty.
unfortunately, discord continues to be the Worst Messaging Company Of All Time with its updates, and this time, its one that is not only a privacy violation, not only enabled by default, but ROLLED OUT SILENTLY, MEANING YOU MUST KNOW IT EXISTS TO TURN IT OFF.
i am talking about "clips", an exciting new feature /s that allows people to record you in voice chat without your knowledge or consent! Wow!
fortunately, you can turn this off, but its kinda shitty how they didnt tell you this existed at all, yeah?
settings > clips> the button should be clicked to turn it off
(note that it should be ON by default, you will have to click the button to turn it off)
thanks, discord, for Telling Us This Violating Setting Exists In An Update And Making Sure It Is Off By Default. /s.
reblogs are appreciated to spread the word.
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
lot of people are going to be sent careening three posts down their dash and crashing into a brick wall because of this post
There's a post going around Tumblr about how if you're post-menopausal and have bleeding, you should get it checked by your doctor. I brought some minor bleeding I'd had up in a doctor visit earlier this year, prompted by that post, and this week, after a biopsy, I found out I have cancer. It's early stage and the survival odds at 5 years are 99%. I have an oncologist appointment and we may have caught it early enough that surgery alone will be sufficient treatment (no radiation/chemo).
So that post may have saved my life and it may have made my treatment a lot easier too.
If you get into menopause and then start bleeding again, really, get your reproductive innards checked out. The life you save may be your own.
[i’m the OP] happy almost new year!!! 🤍
they are going to be CLOSED OVER THE HOLIDAYS and so will the DOCTORS WHO SIGN YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS.

it’s that time of year again! get your meds!

Hi, this is how I wrap presents for people with lower fine motor control; it could be older people, younger people, people with disabilities.
You can use ribbon you already have for wrapping present, and I measured around the item I am about to wrap leaving a little bit of room for the handle.
I taped the beginning end of the ribbon to the box and then loop back the extra ribbon to make a handle, and it should look something like this
You can wrap pretty much like you normally do as long as you make sure that the handle is exposed .
You could even tie something onto the handle for extra support
All done!

Punctuation and spacing was added for readability but all the text is verbatim.
You don’t know how much effort I went to to find this
Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
I have been waiting for this post all my life.
They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.
Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”
A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.
So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?
My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;
Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.
The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.
By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree
Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved
For only the emperor!
The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century
.
Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long
Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.
The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

"None of these words are in the Bible" y'all would be shocked by what words are in the Bible. Cock is in the Bible. Like a lot.
There's this one part where they wanna point out what a slut this one prostitute is so they talk about how her lovers were hung like horses and came like donkeys
Sorry, they were hung like donkeys and came like horses. Apologies for the previous bible misinformation.
