Big fan of the controversy over Lola Bunny’s Space Jam 2 design now that she no longer has tits becuase now the typical crowd that complains about desexualized designs are the ones that usually hate furries, and thus have locked themselves into a dilemma if they want Lola’s furry milkers to be the hill they want to die on to own the liberals

Even better, a large majority of people (including myself) just lowkey forgot what Lola looked like and only recalled that one iconic fanart. She never actually had bazongas in the original movie, so legally anyone who complains about the loss of her bouncy bunnies is undeniably a furry

this is both the best and worst way to find out there’s gonna be a space jam 2

This is the ONLY way to find out there’s gonna be a Space Jam 2

“National Geographic called me and asked me to write the feminist facts about how The Lion King gets lion pride dynamics all wrong. I happily complied. Lions are matrilineal!! 

When I contacted Craig Packer, one of the world’s leading lion researchers, to talk  about this story he was IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE. He Skyped me almost instantly from a camp in Kenya and said he’s been waiting for someone to ask him this question since the original film came out.

Anyway, if The Lion King were real, Nala would be the star, Sarabi would be holding her up saying everything the light touches is our kingdom, Simba would have left and never come back, and when Nala got old enough Sarabi would have carved out a territory for her to rule.”

UPDATE:

“Reasons men gave for lecturing me on lion pride social structure and telling me one of the world’s leading lion researchers is wrong (I am not kidding these are real): -Watched The Lion King DVD extras -Read a textbook 25 years ago -Has been to the zoo -Everyone just knows

If you ever wondered what it’s like to be a woman that communicates science, this is what it’s like. Any expertise you or your sources may have gained over decades of hard work are null and void because someone watched a DVD extra 25 years ago.”

Important for those who need to pay their hospital bills.

I’m not saying this isn’t worth trying because like… anything is worth trying but when I was sent a $22k bill for my gallbladder removal when my insurance fucked up, it was fully itemized from the get go. There was literally no shame in charging me $220 for ten tablets of acetaminophen or anything like that. Most hospital bills come in already itemized.

The idea that you can shame them into feeling bad for their prices or that they’re being kept secret is giving bad advice and I do wonder if people spreading it have ever actually had to deal with truly expensive medical procedures that aren’t covered by insurance.

Like the most an itemized bill is gonna do for you is be there so you can check if you are being charged for things you straight up did not receive (which is quite possible).

Better advice is looking up the specific hospital’s patient advocacy line and seeing if you can apply for financial assistance, how their interest free payment plan, or look into the Charity Care offerings of the hospital, if it’s public and not private. If you are under a certain wage bracket, you may be eligible for the entirety of your bill being covered or receiving a discount.

I know this is a lot less #PettyRevenge or whatever, less sticking it to the man than “Haha, I wanna see my BILL PLEASE! NO SCAMMING THIS TIME!” or whatever but like… these are more realistic than your hospital suddenly being shy about telling you all the dumb shit they are shamelessly overcharging you for.

I lucked out with my $22k bill and it ended up just being a failure to send paperwork about my insurance coverage and I basically considered suicide foree an entire week for no reason but I WISH people had given me REALISTIC advice for my problems instead of “Uwu, ask for an itemized bill.”

Listen y’all… hospitals aren’t ashamed for charging you $1k per second of your nurse counting back from five or whatever.

It’s ALWAYS worth trying, though it will often involve further questioning and not just “itemized bill please” (ie asking why some individual item is X and why another thing is Y price, you have to actually challenge the bill) but I think this is a lot of false hope when most people actually working to help people with medical debt will not give you this advice. OP of this tweet is a 22 year old who struggled to answer any basic questions from peopel replying to her tweets.

And the rest are telling people to just not pay it because “credit scores are fake.”

Please… please god just do more research into how to manage medical bills. Don’t listen to everything you see on twitter. This is one small step that might help a little bit, MAYBE, but there are much better things to be spending your time on in terms of accessing help.

Don’t forget that Saint Patrick is not the only saint whose feast day is March 17. It is also the feast of Saint Gertrude, the patron saint of cats and the people who love them.

when lizzo said “self love is survival” and when hannah gadsby said “do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? it’s not humility. it’s humiliation” and when mitski said “i used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that’s awfully convenient to the world. for some of us our best revolt is self preservation”

when audre lorde said “caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare”

when Jenny Slate tweeted, “As the image of myself becomes sharper in my brain&more precious, I feel less afraid that someone else will erase me by denying me love”
