everyone's like wehhhhh why doesn't doctor house gets suuuueeed! like my man. literally every patient he sees is someone that's been trying to find a diagnosis for ages. i could live with a little medical malpractice if it were coming from someone ready to break into my home to look for allergens and not simply half heartedly listen to me before suggesting I lose weight and take ages of back and forth arguing to order a single test
"it's medical malpractice" have u ever been a doctor? most medicine is malpractice. let the man limp around chewing vicodin doing 50 invasive tests please
Once Taub (derogatory) derisively said about a patient with unexplained chronic pain “7 doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with him, what does that mean?” and House replied without even thinking “it means they’re idiots” and proceed to work his ass off to diagnose the patient Taub wanted to write off as a faker or something. If a doctor had said that when that patient was ME, I wouldn’t dream of suing them in a million years

I’ve been noticing some confusion in the notes regarding what culture this is, so here’s some more info!
The girl in the video is Sámi. The Sámi are an indigenous people from the region of Sápmi, which encompasses northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.
The traditional clothing of Sámi people look different depending on which area tradition they belong to. This girl is north Sámi and she’s wearing a Lyngen dress (ivgu gákti in the north Sámi language), which means her family/ancestors came from Lyngen, Norway. Lyngen’s proximity to the sea made fishing a common means of livelihood for the Sámi living there, which earned them the name “sea Sámi”.
The girl in the video mentions that Sámi people get harassed a lot on the 17th of May, which is the Constitutional Day / National Day of Norway.

Shit man this slaps (reading what I last left off on in my WIP)
I'm in your bookmarks bar. I'm reading all your recs. Stop privating your bookmarks, I need to know if you have taste
Tbh a reason why I got into the habit of privating my bookmarks when I started using AO3 is because the last few years of Fandom Culture changed to a point where it is acceptable to screenshot someone else's taste in fiction, post it on Twitter, Facebook, tiktok, or some other form of social media and forms of harassment mobs putting their focus on the targeted user.
It's not all new Fanfic Readers coming into Fandom Spaces (in this case referring to a random AO3 users profile bookmark section) but I think most of us know the type of situation I tried to describe.
There is nothing wrong with warning people or your friends of things you know could be triggering, but more often than not the cases I tried to explain aren't about that.
Nowadays publicly sharing opinions, can be an invite towards radicalized newer fandom folk to target you over something as simple as the type of fanfiction you read. So it's no wonder why there seems to be a dip in people not willingly wanting to share their tastes in arts and that is a damn shame.
I am trying to break this habit, but if I find an even slightly spicy fic (even in terms of characters being shipped or focused on) I private bookmark to be on the safe side and not wear down on my mental health.
Postscript: I scrolled down a bit and this is the type of attitudes I tried referencing to. Why even care about a hypothetical bookmark that may or may not exist.
At some point, I have a whole rant brewing about how fandom spaces are truly going downhill, now that it's getting more mainstream.
Normally I hate "gatekeeper" type attitudes, but with the constant overpolicing, witch hunts, weird new age purity culture, entitlement towards other people's labor, unwarranted/unasked for criticism, actual selling of other people's work (under the guise of "book binding" and paying for labor)... fandom just isn't the community it used to be anymore.
anyone else relate
Raise your hand if you have also been personally victimized by the barometric pressure changes 🥲
okay, skeletons have xylophones, demons have fiddles, ghosts have theremins and vampires have pipe organs. but what of the humble werewolf? what instrument does she get for her very own?
Werewolves are vocalists. What instrument could rival her beautiful howl?
They’re in a band together
Awwwooo! ^^
GOTTA AWOO

Open concept kitchen, nice, nice
Oh, the whole Floorplan seems to be open concept. Okay! That floor is a little odd, but not a deal breaker.
That bathroom could use an update
Need to change out that curtain
Okay, let's go take a look at the back yard!

JUSTICE FOR BIG CHALLENGES I LOVE YOU BIG CHALLENGES
Gentle reminder that often creativity decides to hibernate for a bit.
It’s okay. You’re not broken, you’re resting, and much like spring, creativity comes back.
In Art Therapy we call this incubating.
You’re incubating ideas. Like an egg. There’s stuff growing inside. Your ideas are collecting and culminating and melding, merging into something.
Don’t crack it open before it’s ready. Wait until you hear it tap tap tapping with its egg tooth. Then slowly help it from its shell bit by bit.
Be kind. Be gentle. We are all growing things tender and soft but capable of great power if given the time to grow and change.
