pretend this happened behind the scenes in world tour

person who will lose their job: the guy who had to try and steer a massive cargo ship with no power in a sandstorm

person who should lose their job: the guy who decided to build a cargo ship longer than the suez canal is wide without considering the obvious corner case (or more likely, the guy who dismissed the possible corner case as unlikely and the profits worth the risk)

yyyyyeeeeeeeep.

If we want to have actual discourse about this here’s an article from 2015 which warns that container ships are growing far too big for existing canal infrastructure 

great capstone on the article here 

Broke trans guy in need of financial help

Ive posted stuff like this before, but now my situation has broadened.

I need to save up for oral surgery, my medicine, my dogs vet visit, possible treatment for my dog, rent, and now I also want to put money towards my hysterectomy (which is the last on the list bc its not as dire.)

My oral surgery is in April, and I need to save up money for partial dentures and an implant so that I can, like, eat. I'm getting 11 teeth pulled, I really need help. My insurance Will NOT cover my dentures/implant. One of them is a front tooth. Its $1,550 for the dentures, and upwards of $3000 for an implant. I cant do this.

And on top of the dental stuff, my chronic pain has gotten worse, so I cant even work right now. I have No Income. I constantly have doctors appointments and tests being done. I have not worked since January.

I cannot pay rent, I cannot afford to take my dog to the vet, I cannot afford to fix my teeth. I need help :(

Until I hear back about my unemployment and disability applications, I really really need help. Im receiving food stamps, so I dont need money for that thankfully. But i need to pay rent, and buy my dog some food, and bring her to the vet because her seizures are becoming more frequent. We just had to put down one of our dogs on valentines day, I cannot lose another dog so soon.

Aight so I gotta call my insurance, bc the front desk person at my dentist just let me know that my insurance might not cover any of the work i need done on the rest of my teeth to save em. Crowns and fillings and such.

They totalled it up to $12,786.94

I... i cant fucking do this lmao like this is Way beyond what i expected. Idk what to do.

I have to take my dog to the vet. She had another seizure, and Im terrified. We just lost our beagle on valentines day, I dont want to lose her too.

Please help me. The check up is $75, but the tests can run me around $180. I need my dog.

AO3 really needs some kind of "caution: writer is British" type of warning. "Arse" is the absolute worst word and if I never have to read it again it'll be too soon.

“I am tuXEdo MASk!!!”

“hhhhhhhhhhhh”

*guitar riff*

“you are…..?”

*gasp*

“heistuxedomaskidon’tbelieveit”

There’s a very specific emotion the tone of that last line conveys, and I can’t place what it is, but I feel it in my bones.

Places where reality is a bit altered:

• any target • churches in texas • abandoned 7/11’s • your bedroom at 5 am • hospitals at midnight • warehouses that smell like dust • lighthouses with lights that don’t work anymore • empty parking lots • ponds and lakes in suburban neighborhoods • rooftops in the early morning • inside a dark cabinet

what the fuck

•hospital waiting rooms •airports from midnight to 7am • bathrooms in small concert venues

I just got the weirdest feeling I swear

OK LISTEN THERE ARE REASONS FOR THIS!!!

A lot of these places are called liminal spaces - which means they are throughways from one space to the next. Places like rest stops, stairwells, trains, parking lots, waiting rooms, airports feel weird when you’re in them because their existence is not about themselves, but the things before and after them. They have no definitive place outside of their relationship to the spaces you are coming from and going to. Reality feels altered here because we’re not really supposed to be in them for a long time for think about them as their own entities, and when we do they seem odd and out of place.

The other spaces feel weird because our brains are hard-wired for context - we like things to belong to a certain place and time and when we experience those things outside of the context our brains have developed for them, our brains are like NOPE SHIT THIS ISN’T RIGHT GET OUT ABORT ABORT. Schools not in session, empty museums, being awake when other people are asleep - all these things and spaces feel weird because our brain is like “I already have a context for this space and this is not it so it must be dangerous.” Our rational understanding can sometimes override that immediate “danger” impulse but we’re still left with a feeling of wariness and unease. 

Listen I am very passionate about liminal spaces they are fascinating stuff or perhaps I am merely a nerd. 

I, for one, appreciate your passion for liminal spaces and thank you for explaining it to the rest of us.
