live fast, die inyour40s

Thought I'd just make a new post:

I just got an ugly surprise! I was SA'd by my doctor while being biopsied a few months ago and now apparently have to pay $345 even though I was explicitly told my insurance would cover it completely 😂🔫

I have other expenses I'm stressed about but this is currently the most pressing.

This has largely lost traction, please keep reblogging!

This has a fair amount of notes but hasn't really gained any traction, please keep reblogging!

As if things couldn't get any worse 🙃I just got this lab bill I have to pay in 10 days

This hasn't gained any traction lol. please reblog!

The $200 bill is covered, thank you! I still have a really far way to go though $300/645

I have 10 days to deal with the rest, please keep reblogging!

$360/645, Thank you! Please keep reblogging!

Carol: so whats your story?

Bucky: well I joined the millitary then "died", was brainwashed to fight for the bad guys and remembered who I was after reuniting with my best friend years later, who I was in love with from the moment we met.

Carol: ok, you're not going to fucking believe this-

I can't believe my STEM major ass laughed at this

stem majors love seeing incredibly basic concepts and going "yeah this is unique to me. non-academics can't possibly understand this."

“Update: The student who wrote the letter has been found and we’re in the process of finding a way to reward her for her actions. Very grateful for what she did”

I love this mental image of this quietly horrified and righteous 6th grader just being like ma’am you can’t do that

6th grader:

#the drawing including kids in the bus windows going like :O kills me

All the kids at the same time “ OOOOOOOOOO”

“They took our land, they imprisoned our queen, they banned our language, they forcibly made us a colony of the United States. America says they are democratic, that is a lie! They have never been democratic with Native people! They have never been democratic with Indians! They have never been democratic with Hawaiians!”

[VD:

Close up video of Haunani-Kay Trask in 1993 speaking into a microphone wearing a Haku Lei.

“We are not American! We are not American! We are not American! We are not American! Say it in your hearts, say it when you sleep. We are not American! We will die as Hawaiians, we will never be Americans!

The Americans, my people, are our enemies and you must understand that: they are our enemies. They took our land. They imprisoned out queen. They banned our language. They forcibly made us a colony of the United States. America always say they are democratic, lies! That is a lie! They have never been democratic with native people, they have never been democratic with Indians, they have never been democratic with Hawaiians.

[CROWD CHEERS]

The United States of America is the most powerful imperialist country in the world, in the world! They control the United Nations, they control the Pacific Ocean. All these nuclear submarines, circulating throughout the Pacific. The United States of America is a death country. It gives death to native people, and the only way to fight the United States of America is to be political! Kaua! Kaua! Kaua! Fight! Fight! Fight!

pull your dong pants up

its nice to know that this is something that other people do too.

So, I don’t usually do this, but:

I’ll like all your thoughts and prayers for the people of Afghanistan. Today, the Taliban recaptured Kabul, and all the progress, how minimal and expensive it was, of civil rights, woman rights, and others will probably abruptly end. My own uncle is in the country, and as stubborn he is, he refuse to leave, for he desires to help the people there.

Just..please, give your thoughts and prayers to the people of Afghanistan. Especially if you are Russian and American. The country became like that because of the two countries.

the thing about “well-behaved women rarely make history" is that the author, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, didn’t write it about women who would be considered “badly-behaved;“ she wrote it in a book about a midwife, about women who had been largely ignored and erased from history because as a result of their “good behaviour.” So it’s not a “BAD GIRLS DO IT WELL" kind of quote; it’s a reminder to respect and pay attention to the women who go about quietly living their lives.

it’s a reminder to respect and pay attention to the women who go about quietly living their lives.

im not even joking rn this fucking painting made me start uncontrollably sobbing. Do you know how long it took to paint? How expensive it was? The cat was content for hours and so loved that the girl held him there and paid for him to be painted with her. Imagine having such a bond… imagine being so loved and loving so much back…

Apparently this is almost a genre of painting. Its human nature to love and cradle cats …. And the bond these cats and their people have. To sit together for hours to get a painting to attempt to immortalize the love you two shared

I almost snorted tea out my nose at work.

The worst part about writing fantasy is being keenly aware that you’re writing fantasy, which means that you always have to straddle a thin three-way line between anachronism, cliche, and clunk.

Take money, for example. You can’t just have people in a fictional fantasy world walk around using Euros. You consider something generic, like ‘silver coins,’ but before you know it your world starts sounding like a shitty ren faire.

So you think about the world you’ve built and its needs and its history to come up with some unique and relevant terms. But if your terms are too unique and relevant you wind up writing “yarr, you’ll be ransomed for a hundred Trade League Silver Gyrblonks” and realize your worldbuilding is now getting in the way of basic readability.

“They’re using golden valley coins!”

…didst thou mean dollars?

“Nevermind. They’re using some basic silver coin and then enough gold to be worth ten silver coins is called a ten-piece”

…Si, si, el Peso!

Trying over, they’re minted by the king so they’re called crown coins, or, these days, abbreviated, they’re just Crowns

Naturligvis, vi skifter Daler ud med Kroner!

The Lesson Of The Day is that all the names are already claimed by IRL, and all the almost-good-names that you could invent to get around that were used by some SFF author in the seventies e.g. I bet you can’t do Suns and Moons for your gold/silver coins, I bet some author did that already.

My fantasy nation uses solid gold coins marked by the dental impressions of the reigning king, as a sign of their purity and authenticity.

They’re called Bitcoins.

oh you can go the fuck to jail that’s what you can do, where you’ll be shackled to a chain gang hitting the blockchain with a pickaxe
