Flange's Incoherent Flailing

@flange5 / flange5.tumblr.com

Just a place where I post polish pictures and indulge my time-sucking enthusiasms, of which there are way too many. You can expect nail polish and nail art, Arashi, The Avengers (MCU and 616 in particular), Japanese statues and action figures,...

So SD Governor Kristi Noem now says that her biography, “written” by her *and* “narrated” by her, was actually written by a ghostwriter, and it was that ghostwriter who made all the errors in her book. That she wrote and she narrated.

It’s sort of like how most nasty Republican policies are slightly altered versions of Koch Brothers fever dreams ventriloquized by various empty suits in elected office.

But since fake teeth and fake book Kristi is an “authentic” American, I’m sure it’s all fine.

"You can't ship that!"

lol what are you gonna do, climb inside my mind and shut off the imagination switch?

This kind of response always fascinates me, so while I've got you here, can I just ask: legal by what standards? Do you mean real world standards, where laws vary from country to country, and in the case of the US, state to state? Or do you mean the fictitious laws set in place in the fictional setting of the ship? What standard exactly should we use to tell people "you're not allowed to enjoy this fictional thing?"

I know you didn't mean any harm by your response, but I feel it's important to reiterate that nothing gives anyone the right to police what people do in a fictional setting, full stop. Because at the end of the day, it's fiction, it's a fantasy, none of it is real, and so real world rules and standards do not apply. So, as long as you are not actively causing harm in a real world setting (i.e. harassing real people over fictional ships) then you do you.

a very important addition

Something that also drives me NUTS with this "uwu if it's legal" shit is like...

Y'all only EVER. Say it about sexual stuff. "Oh wow well if it's LEGAL-!" bitch my ass is out here playing DnD. I roleplay a devil-them who KILLS PEOPLE FOR A LIVING and yet I don't see y'all rushing to tell me that those thoughts are illegal and bad and noooo you can't do THAT, murder is ILLEGAL.

It's because y'all are a bunch of puritan weirdos about sex and I reblogged a post that hits why right on the nose but dear FUCK y'all need to really unpack all of your weirdness about sex. Like. Right now. Because it's all conservative bullshit.

Also: as OP says, what are you going to do, climb inside my mind and shut off my imagination?

Legality, morality, NOTHING can stop people’s thoughts. Nothing can stop people’s fantasies and imagination, not even themselves. Thought crime is not a thing, and anyone who says otherwise is spouting some deeply Christian bullshit.

Anonymous asked:

i think your "just one more grad degree" attitude is rubbing off on me because i had a dream last night i earned 2 masters, a JD, and PHD and woke up almost thinking "hey, why not?" before remembering i'd instead prefer to enjoy being alive. its contagious

Listen. LISTEN. I 100% do not endorse anyone listening to me and/or following my lead on this. I too once thought, once I finally finished my PhD, that that was enough and I had served my time/completed my penance as a graduate student. Then this job came along like HELLO YOU GET 20 FREE CREDITS OF TUITION A YEAR, INCLUDING GRADUATE CREDITS. WE HAVE SOME GREAT AND WORLD-RENOWNED PROGRAMS AT THE UNIVERSITY IN THINGS YOU ARE ALREADY INTERESTED IN. DID WE SAY FREEEEEEEE MASTER'S DEGREEEEEEEEE.

...and I, being Booboo the Fool, sat up straight, put on my spinning propeller clown hat, and went HURR HURR FREE MASTER'S DEGREE YOU SAY, SURE PENNYWISE I SURE WILL SCOOT RIGHT DOWN INTO THIS SEWER. WAIT FOR ME IMMA COMING.

(Welp?)

Hey Tumblr, I hate doing this but;

Broke my arm recently. Need surgery on it. My out of pocket expenses are gonna be $4300, $2000 of which need to be paid prior to surgery. Which is (checks notes) tomorrow.

Literally anything you send my way would help.

Bringing this back because the first of my medical bills are coming in. I have insurance, thank god, but I live in America, the land of private insurance companies and have not yet met my deductible. Thus, I still owe, after assorted xrays, three separate casts, surgery, ect (checks notes) about $1700. I still have to go back for more xrays and appointments to monitor healing and to physical therapy once the cast comes off.

This is better than the $8700 my insurance company has so far been billed for, but still. Any help would be appreciated. Even if I can just pay off the $700 anesthesia (OUT OF NETWORK YAYYYY) bill that would really help.

This is a PSA about the last:

if you didn’t choose the anesthesiologist, then it’s the surgery center’s problem, because that is SPECIFICALLY covered by the No Surprises Act of 2022.

Remember, friends, insurance companies are out for their shareholders: that’s why we regulate them.

And if your insurance company gives you shit about it, or the surgery center or anesthesiologist does, remind them about the act.

Hang on, WHAT

Like I still have $1000 worth of copay with more coming and anything is still deeply appreciated but I'm kissing you on the mouth right now

Little old Italian lady: Do you have zucchini?

Me: Yes, right here.

Lady: Is how much?

Me: $2.99 a pound.

Lady: It's usually $1.49.

Me: Yes, in the summer.

Lady, pauses, then grabs two: I put it in a soup.

Me: Oh nice, what kind are you making?

Lady: You will not fantasize about my soup.

And then she walked away. "You will not fantasize about my soup" will be in my head forever. I love you, little old Italian lady.

New discourse: it's actually predatory to date someone with a different star sign than you, because the differences in your personalities means you'll never be able to have exactly the same life experiences, thus leaving a knowledge and power gap between the two of you which will inevitably lead to an abusive relationship!

also if you're a Sag and you're dating a Taurus, that means you're secretly seeking a May-December relationship, which is age gap coded!

Also, humanoid signs like Aquarius, Gemini, and Virgo absolutely cannot date animal signs. That is interspecies erotica coded fucko and animals CANNOT CONSENT.
