YOU hate JK Rowling!

dont pretend to be stupid to a customer service worker as a joke and then get annoyed when they cant distinguish you from the dozens of actually stupid people they interact with every day

used to work at a chocolate shop and enjoyed doing a bit where if i had to go in for whatever reason on my day off i would just say every single thing all the customers say when they walk in - some are obnoxious on their own, some only became obnoxious when you'd heard it for the fiftieth time that day. from "it smells so good in here!" to "i just gained fifteen pounds walking through the door!" and my coworkers would laugh because it was me and they knew i was a goofball like this

once i stopped by and visited well after i moved and only one person i used to work with was there that day. the new people could not hide their horror as i ticked every single box. asked every single annoying question everyone asks - "what's this [clearly labeled thing]?" and "do you eat all the chocolate? i would eat all the chocolate" and so on. my old coworker who was helping me was laughing but not answering, because she knew she didn't need to. i wonder if she ever told the teens who i was or just let them believe i was the nicest customer their worst nightmares could produce.

Am I wet? Am I on my period? Did I pee my pants?- next on wtf is going on down there.

I’m so glad this is a universal wondering among vagina-owners, haha.

‘Vagina-owners’

Tune in next time for: Are these menstrual cramps? Am I pregnant? Is it just gas? I wouldn’t have to ask these questions if I didn’t have a damn uterus

Next week: Is it a bladder infection? An ovarian cyst? Do I have endometriosis? Oh God please do not let it be cervical cancer! A 20/20 special

Y'all are forgetting the all-time classic: Is it just my period or is my appendix about to burst? Some nice tea and a heatpack or 911 and emergency surgery?

There is actually a test for that last one!

Place your hand over the pain, press down slightly and release. If the pain doesn’t change by any great margin, you’re fine. If it suddenly becomes some painful you can barely stand, Get thee to an Emergency Room

reblog for the safety of vaginas and their owners

The appendix test works with or without a vagina so reblogging for everyone.

Reblogging because I didn’t know this and it needs to be shared.

Important

Adding this because they’re safe for dogs too

How are turkey skin and bones not safe? Please elaborate.

Dunno about skin, but Turkey bones, and avian bones in general, are really easy to shatter. If a dog eats said shards, it could tear up their insides.

Important for all pet users!!

The skin is very fatty and can lead to diarrhea, vomiting, and/or pancreatitis. Pancreatitis can lead to a very expensive hospital stay, and is quite painful. When in doubt, best not to feed human food.

Important PSA for this (and every) holiday season! As someone with dogs and cats in her life, both of these are nice to have on hand!

my partner & i recently transitioned to being best friend platonic partners and romantically separated (due to some simple romantic incompatibilities) - we're both very happy with and excited about this change and most importantly we think it is VERY funny and gay to continue doing everything together and living together as exes

(she wrote the first comic!)

an explanation is not owed

I’m kinda surprised at how many ‘likes-but-did-not-blogs’ there are on this post….there are absolutely no downsides to not sharing it, regardless of whether or not it fits your aesthetic or even if your page isn’t sexual in nature.

Unfortunately, many guys still need to see this….. (but ovviously it applies to everyone).

Consent is paramount, and the ability to remove consent at any time (yes even after sex has started, if it hurts or you get cold feet or whatev)

ALWAYS make sure you have consent. And consent can ALWAYS be taken back. Be mindful and respectful of your partner. It’s really not that difficult.

this is ESPECIALLY important in kink spaces.

Tumblr law: Always reblog the queen.

If you don’t have this on your blog at least once, get out.

WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THE WHOLE MEME WHAT EVEN MY LIFE IS A LIE

i spent $32 on this fucking bowl at the moma and at first i felt bad buying it bc it was so expensive but ive had a terrible day today and every time i look at my lil bowl im like :o) you know what. i can get through anything with this bowl by my side

i literally get what marie kondo was talking about now

bc everyone keeps requesting to see it filled :)

I don’t know how long I’ve been here. Time seems to pass differently. But the place is cozy and private so I have no complaints. And whenever I’m hungry, I go outside with my bowl and walk down the hill to the shore. Sometimes the lake is made of soup. Sometimes it’s huge pasta noodles the size of barges. Sometimes it’s breakfast cereal. Sometimes it’s dumplings the size of great whales. I dip my little bowl and take a portion and carry it back up to the house.

Today I found a new bowl! In its center is a little hill with a little house. I will carry it down to the shore and fill it up, and whomever lives in that little house can have a tiny portion of my meal. I hope they have a nice bowl to put it in..

I'm disabled and cannot work, I also should be able to live in a one bed apartment by myself and not starve myself to make rent and pay bills.

Additionally, the financial aid I get should not be dependant on me struggling alone. If I wish to live with a partner or marry, I should not be be financially punished so that I cannot afford basic costs.

We all, whether we are able to work or not, deserve to be able to afford to live. We all have worth that is not dependent on our productivity levels.

True equity is not possible as long as disability equity does not exist.

Everyone, regardless of productivity, deserves to live. Period. That's it. The end.

Everyone deserves a home. One that has electricity and heat and ac and running water. Full stop.

Everyone deserves access to clean water. Full stop.

Everyone deserves access to delicious food. Not just basic food, but *good* food. Full stop.

Doesn't matter if you work a job. Doesn't matter if you don't, or can't. All people deserves these things.

This blog is a safe space.

Hell yeah!

Imagine my surprise when I wanted to buy dvds and blurays of some of my fav movies only to realize that germany stopped physical copy production almost completely.

Can‘t buy them online or in a shop. Only a few left and even if they’re available they’re expensive af. For example: Sony stopped distributing in Germany completely, only for a few „chosen titles“ through a partner company. Also there’s the discussion that if there’s a movie release then only in english. I love to watch movies with fam and I am the only one that understands english, so there’s that…

And all that happened two months ago-ish. And guess what happened two to three months ago in hollywood :)

if that isn’t one tactic to keep people dependent on streaming services I don’t know what is

disney is doing the same in australia rn but this is an angle i hadn’t considered about it. makes the move even scummier imo

So it’s a worldwide problem then. Makes it even more obvious how desperate hollywood really is after their now open secret „streaming isn’t as profitable as we pretended it to be“. Seems like they’re trying to „save“ money however they can with all the money they’re losing.

Here some examples. The first one is in english and the second one is in german.

And it all happened in a timespan of a few weeks right when the strikes happened.

It got revealed that streaming is doing horribly, in a way that disney will change their disney plus subscriptions in 2024 in a big way.

They wanna go back to the „old times“ when cable tv ads brought them the big money, so in 2024 they can „catch up and reduce more money loss“. Those subs will become very expensive when you wanna be able to unlock all channels and ad free (20$ a month, and therefore higher in price for Europe, let’s say…25€??)

With how it goes financially for many people, no one voluntarily wants to subscribe to 1 or more services doing that (because you can bet that other streaming services will change in the same way if it works) .

So my guess even more so now is, that this def could be a tactic from studios to eliminate the option to see movies and series otherwise. With not being able to have a physical copy in a private collection, !paying once for it!, you’ll be „forced“ to go and pay every year in and out for versatile movie/series entertainment.

I do not believe the argument that physical copies do THAT terribly. I know that due to streaming people got more laid back about it and bought less frequently. But I also know alot of people that when they like smth very much they still buy a physical copy for their collection. For example internet connection still isn’t the best in Germany. On some days it’s rather tricky, so for entertainment you can still watch a dvd if you‘d like. So even buying the digital version instead of streaming won’t kick it.

“we need to stop the stigma towards drug users and addicts” and “we need to challenge the idea that being sober makes you boring” and “we need to stop acting like binge drinking to the extent you’re doing medical damage is fun and normal for young people” are all ideas that can and should coexist.

just so we’re clear, the threshold for “binge drinking to the extent you’re doing medical damage” is waaaay lower than you think.

I work in an obstetrician and gynaecologist’s office. we have to tell patients on a regular basis that they are binge drinking weekly when they think they are simply consuming a normal amount of alcohol on the weekends.

having more than 3 drinks in a single sitting if you have an estrogen based endocrine system is a binge that is medically significant.

having more than 5 in a sitting is a medically significant binge for someone with a testosterone based endocrine system.

every time you do this, it significantly impacts your risk of getting breast cancer, and damages your liver. it takes time to recover from that liver damage. if you’re having a 3-5 or more drink binge on a weekly basis, you are an alcoholic, medically speaking, and your liver is not recovering.

again: the bar for what binge drinking is, medically, is so much lower than what you think it is.

alcohol is a really toxic substance and not something you should fuck around with.

again: if you have an estrogenized hormone system (common for most women), then 3 drinks is a binge. if you have a testosteronized hormone system (common for most men), then 5 drinks is a binge.

anything above that number, consumed as frequently as weekly or more, and you’re medically a binge drinking alcoholic.

also, if you’re drinking any quantity of alcohol 6 days a week or more, that’s another threshold at which, medically speaking, you meet the definition of alcoholism. your liver needs more days without alcohol in your system than just one a week to recover and be healthy.

I don’t say any of this to shame anyone—to me, alcoholism or substance use disorders aren’t a sign of weakness or moral failing. and most of us genuinely don’t know this stuff.

rather—I point this out because it’s important to reduce harm, and find ways to live healthier, happier lives. there is a life outside of constant binge drinking. it’s not always easy to find it. but it’s out there. you deserve a life where your emotional needs are met by something other than alcohol, and a life in which your liver is healthy, and the ways you cope and celebrate and find joy don’t put you at increased risk of cancer.

also–even if alcohol is the only way you can self-medicate, or if you choose to go on with your alcohol usage anyway regardless of other options–you still deserve to know what it’s doing to your body.

information is key. you don’t have to stop drinking, but the utter lack of education on alcohol + the normalization of binge drinking in current society leads to many people drinking without any idea of what it’s doing to their bodies.

addicts deserve accurate medical information regardless of what they decide to do with it. for some people, losing liver function is worth the benefits they get from binge drinking, but they can’t make that choice if they don’t know what the consequences are to begin with.

addicts deserve accurate medical information regardless of what they decide to do with it.

someone tell the tumblerinas that you can raise an issue without deliberately guilt-tripping everyone about it

okay, I take it back. I don’t think everyone is doing this deliberately. some of it is so deeply entrenched in tumblr culture that you probably don’t always notice you’re doing it

“nobody’s talking about this” -> you can just delete this phrase

“if you can’t reblog this, unfollow me” -> you can also delete this one

“x group can, and should, reblog this” -> remove the “should”. or you know. delete the entire sentence

your post will still spread all the important information without the guilt-tripping parts, I promise

if an otherwise valid post tries to guilt trip me it’s a pass on the rb, sry.

REBLOG IF IT IS OKAY TO COME INTO YOUR INBOX AND SAY THE RANDOMEST SHIT I CAN THINK OF BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO INTERACT WITH YOU.

I have not had tumblr moots since like actually 2013-2014 I want more I want to have online friends again … please someone talk to me about your ideas for aus and your fics and your silly little drawings I want to hear everything please it doesn’t even matter what fandom I will listen anyway and then share my own like… my friends get early access to all of my content (if they want it) it’s like free patreon or something

I got curious and made this. Which do you see when you read? 

Orders from my shop help me pay rent. Orders from my shop help me buy groceries. Orders from my shop help me pay for gas. Orders from my shop help me pay for a gift for my fiance that I might not otherwise be able to afford. Orders from my shop help me pay for my future wedding. Orders from my shop help me pay for therapy. Orders from my shop helped me leave a toxic household.

Shop small, especially if you can afford it. I know sometimes corporations have cheaper options.. but that extra $5 is far more useful to a small business owner. If you can afford it, shop small any time you can.
