me as a child: this "$4.99" sales stuff is idiotic, anyone can instantly round this up to $5 in their mind, no one is falling for this

me as an adult: oh wow only $4 (with some additional numbers behind it), that's great because if it was a single dollar more that would have been the last straw for me in my miserable life

[image ids: the first image is of a hand holding a palm-sized wooden chair with the back shaped to look like a frog, with holes for its eyes and mouth cut out. It has two little humps for its eye holes to fit.

The second image is of the same chair sitting on mulch.

The third image is the same chair sitting on mulch, but now with a little moist green frog perched perfectly on the little seat. End image ids]

women’s right to respect isnt determined by how fuckable you think they are btw

i do think body hair and fat rolls and weak jawlines and ext are sexy, but that’s not why women like that are deserving of respect for their bodies. fundamentally, if your response to bodyshaming aimed at women is to go “uh, well, i’d fuck her” you don’t get it. its not about sexiness, it’s about your ability to respect someone you dont find attractive and not bring it up at every available time and not generalize all women with a certain body type

a few years ago at (catholic) school I overheard someone say “jesus!” out of frustration, probably about homework. to which the teacher in the room at the time said “don’t bring him into this” which is simultaneously the most and least catholic response to that I can imagine. I think about that at least once a week.

I'm a type 1 diabetic. I require insulin to live, multiple times a day.

When I was in middle school, many years ago, we didn't have insulin pumps and had to use syringes and vials like everyone else.

The school refused to let me carry it with me, meaning I had to go to the nurses office several times a day to inject. It's not just before lunch but could be any number of times depending on the current blood sugar levels.

The district then cut nurse staff to just spending half a day at two schools, and the nurse left before I had lunch.

I asked the office staff to unlock the office so I could take my insulin and eat lunch. They refused.

By middle school, I'd been dealing with t1 for about 5 years, and didn't take shit on the topic. I went to the school lobby, picked up the payphone (I just dated myself) and called 911, telling them, "Hi, I'm at (school), am type 1 diabetic and the office won't unlock a door and let me take insulin."

They sent a fire truck, and a bunch of firemen met me outside and walked me to the office and asked, while ignoring the staff, which room was the nurses office. I pointed to the door and he was like, "Okay boys, chop it down, this kid need his insulin!"

Suddenly, the office secretary could unlock the door and I didn't need to put it in the nurses office everyday anymore.
