In my junior year of highschool, I woke up wheezing and not being able to breathe very well. Despite my mom having really good insurance copays are still fucking expensive, and because im a dramatic bitch usually I didnt want to go to a hospital because i wasnt sure it was really serious. So i went to the cvs minute clinic. A teenager in on school morning saying she cant breathe well and doesnt feel good isnt going to be taken seriously apparently. I was told i was getting a cold and to take some tylenol and Id be fine. It got worse friends!! So nearly a week goes by and I keep feeling shallow of breath, wheezing, feeling sick in general and I get my mom to take me to Cook Children’s . I dont know whats going on and I keep telling people I cant breathe and they did a breathing test and said I was fine?? So i kept going to school and this one day I was terrified. I felt like I was drowing in my own body. I went to the nurse, sobbing and wheezing and she called my parents to take me to the hospital. My mom found an urgent care we’d never been to that honestly looked real fuckin sketch. But this man did every possible test. He believed me he talked to me not down to me. And we found out that Id been walking around with pneumonia for 2 fucking weeks!!! And that it got so bad that it developed into pleurisy in my lungs- like a medieval ass infection people arent supposed to get anymore apparently. He really said “I dont know how youre alive or how any medical professional let you walk around like this.” I have permanent damage to my lungs and breathing and need to go back frequently for new inhalers and medicine but yall.. A medical proffesional can be wrong.

IF ONE PERSON DOESNT LISTEN KEEP TRYING!!! YOU KNOW YOUR BODY AND IF THE FIRST PERSON DOESNT, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE, KEEP FUCKING GOING IT COULD MEAN LIFE OR DEATH. I WAS JUST A TEENAGE GIRL AND THEY DIDNT WANT TO LISTEN BUT I KNEW AND I FOUND SOMEONE.

‘pop’ is pretty heinous but like, I’ll accept it, yknow? it’s just the other half of ‘soda-pop,’ like how ‘cab’ and ‘taxi’ are the two halves of ‘taxicab.’ it’s fine. it’s chill.

but coke? that’s a fucking brand name! of a specific drink with a specific flavor! that shits RUDE, it’s CONFUSING, it’s DOWNRIGHT NONSENSICAL! fuckin misusing the art of language to confound your fellow man! the gall! learn some fucking respect

No it just happens sometimes. Its like jell-o, kleenex, popsicle, scotch tape. It just happens.

But that’s not a good parallel at all. You can’t compare calling Sprite “coke” like a lawless heathen to the classic linguistic phenomenon of generic trademarks / proprietary eponyms, and I’ll tell you why:

  • ‘Jell-o’ is a brand name under which multiple flavours of gelatin (and pudding/custard) are produced. There isn’t just “Jell-o” and then special “strawberry Jell-o”; the name has never denoted just one specific flavour.
  • ‘Popsicle’ is the same as Jello, it was never a name for just one flavour of popsicle.  
  • ‘Kleenex’ is a specific brand of tissues, but it’s not inherently that distinct from other tissues. They are all lightweight tissues used to blow your nose.
  • ‘Scotch tape’ is used to refer to any tape that is like the original scotch tape, i.e., clear, thin, small, sticky on one side. We don’t call all tape ‘scotch tape’. Electric tape, duct tape, and packing tape are all their own things, and anybody who calls any of them ‘scotch tape’ has no regard for their fellow man and ought to be thrown into the sea.

MEANWHILE, Coca-Cola is a specific kind of soda with its own distinct flavour. When Coca-Cola makes other flavours, they’re called “vanilla Coke,” “cherry Coke,” etc. but “Coke” is still its own standalone flavour, a wholly other Thing apart from the “special” flavours the company produces. 

It would make far more sense if people used ‘coke’ the way we use ‘scotch tape’; that is, to denote only those sodas that are similar in appearance and taste to Coca-Cola (Pepsi, RC, Shasta Cola, etc.). I could see all of those being lumped in under a generic term ‘coke’. I could even see it being extended to all brown sodas, even though comparing Root Beer to Coke is like comparing a badger to a zebra just because they’re both black-and-white mammals. You’re on thin fucking ice but at least there’s still some semblance of logic.

But no. You southerners, who bask in your sun and heat and chew upon your wheat stems with the indifference of an armadillo in the face of oncoming traffic, you who revel in lawlessness and chaos, you linguistic delinquents who fear neither God nor man, 

you are really going to look at a list of drinks that includes such variety in taste and apperance as Sprite, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Code Red, Orange Fanta, and Dr. Pepper, and call it all “Coke.” 

You’re going to picture, in your mind, a clear, lemon-lime fizzy drink and request “coke.” And then when asked “what kind?” you will not say “Coke Zero,” “Diet Coke,” or “Cherry Coke,” no. You will answer “Sprite,” like an animal, like a feral possum who knows the ways of right and wrong and chooses wrong just to spite its creator. 

And then you have the gall to say it’s an eponym as valid as ‘Jello’. No. You tossed your logic into the dumpster fires of the underworld long ago, you cannot justify it now. You cannot tell me you don’t know your own crimes. “It’s all coke,” you say, and you taste the sin of it on your tongue, and you laugh. Know this, that you are inviting judgment upon yourself and one day you will be devoured by the sun.

Do you not understand the lawless state the south is? Coke is the least of your linguistic problems my g

No no no no if anyone calls any soda other than coca-cola “coke” my brain short circuits

They have different names for a reason and when you’re in a restaurant and order coke, they’ll bring you coca-cola or pepsi. You don’t ask for soda or pop. You ask for the specific kind you want.

Sprite is not coke. Ginger ale is not coke. Root beer is not coke. Cream soda is not coke. Even pepsi is not technically coke; it’s pepsi.

You can’t just call them all coke.

Growing up in the South it was always “what kinda cokes you want?” As in what soda would you like?. Or “I got some cokes put back” meant Ive been saving some soda for this occasion and its probably Dr pepper or like shasta cola not even brand name. But its so natural to me that I didnt realize that it doesnt make any?? fuckin?? sense?? Like???

Festive Drarry Mini Fest Masterlist!

Ring-a-ding-ding folks, tonight we feast on joggers! Or to be more specific Harry and Draco feast their eyes on joggers and we readers feast our eyes on the O(oooo)T(hose)P(ants).

We’ve got 6 fics and 4 arts for you, please do go and show the creators some love and thank you all for supporting the Festive Drarry Mini Fest! With love from your mods, @gingertodgers​ and @goldentruth813​ xxx

Charming Joggers by @drarrymylove (T, 3777) Several of the eighth year students have decided to stay at Hogwarts for the first weekend of the Christmas holidays. Draco finds himself attending a day-long Christmas party and becoming the target of a very distracting prank. Pansy has charmed everyone’s pajamas. Some now have gingerbread men. Some have candy canes. One particular pair of joggers…well, those are the real show stoppers.

The Curious Case of the Disappearing Stockings by @thealmostrhetoricalquestion (T, 11549) It’s Harry’s Eighth Year, he’s surrounded by Slytherins, and Christmas Stockings are going missing all over Hogwarts. At the risk of being mocked ruthlessly, Harry won’t verbally declare that Malfoy probably has something to do with it, but… well, Malfoy definitely has something to do with it.

Auld Acquaintance by @aibidil (T, 2277) All Draco wants for Christmas is for Harry to get home so they can charm their holiday cards and make four different lasagnas to meet their children’s and grandchildren’s varied food needs. What he does not want is for Harry to get home wearing red Christmas joggers and looking eighteen years old.

you’re my angel, baby by @violetclarity (E, 1368) Harry was delighted by two facts: one, that Draco wore joggers around the house; two, that one of them was in a holiday novelty print.

How to Fix Fathers’ Outfit - The Guide by Scorpius Malfoy by @caroll-in (G, fanart) Draco’s plans to impress a certain recently divorced Saviour are ruined with a little onrush of accidental magic. Or are they?

Naughty & Nice by @momstiel (T, fanart) When Draco celebrated his first Christmas with the Weasley’s, he expected a homemade sweater with a “D” on it… not this.

Cringing, Whinging, and Present-Giving by @erroneouslygrey (G, 3866) What Harry loves more than anything (well, other than Draco, of course) is giving presents… not just ANY kind of presents, though.

My True Love Gave to Me (Six Jars of Chutney) by @goldentruth813 (M, 12311) On his first post-divorce Christmas Eve without his children, Harry goes to Marks & Spencer hoping to find a bit of his past; what he finds instead is a future.

Oh Deer! Let’s Get Lit by @carpemermaid (G, fanart) Draco and Harry relax on the sofa after getting the holiday decorations up.

A Very Drarry Holiday by @rainsoakedhello (T, fanart) May your festive season be full of wonder, snow, enchanted mistletoe, an excited Harry (because…enchanted mistletoe!!) and a blushing (but also ridiculously excited) Draco!

Amazing content here!

IF YOU LIVE IN TEXAS DO NOT VOTE FOR TED CRUZ

If you didn't like Brett Kavanaugh, don't vote for someone who supports him. Support someone who cares about fixing things at the border. Beto literally stood outside where they were holding refugee kids and protested. Beto cares. Cruz supported a rapist. Its almost November 6 we have 3 days left. ALSO IF YOU CAN VOTE GO VOTE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. WE ONLY HAVE LIMITED TIME TO CHANGE THIS COUNTRY PLEASE.

Anonymous asked:

As a non-American, what the heck is a Presidential Alert and why do you get them?

We’ve never gotten one before. This is… a new thing they’re testing today. It’s similar to other Emergency Alerts that U.S. phones get (such as severe weather alerts like tornado or flash flood warnings, Amber Alerts that are issued for missing children, etc.), but unlike those, there’s no way to switch off the Presidential Alert system. So EVERY. SINGLE. PHONE. in the whole country is gonna start screaming in unison in a couple hours. Unless they’re switched off.

It’s scheduled to happen at 2:18 pm, and cell towers will continue broadcasting the alert signal for 30 minutes. So I’m turning my phone off at 2 and I’ll turn it back on… eventually.

Luckily this test is being run by FEMA, and not the Disaster In Chief himself, but this is also a SCHEDULED test. And I have to say if Dongle Thunk thinks he’s suddenly got his own personal screaming propaganda generator to broadcast his batshit nonsense to each of us personally, I will march down to AT&T and hand in my phone. I’d rather live in a fucking black hole than be forcibly subjected to that.

Sorry… I have Admittedly Strong Feelings about this >.>

reboosting for American-phone-number folk who haven’t gotten the message to turn off their cell phones today…

Reblogging for info directly from FEMA:

October 2, 2018 Release Number: HQ-18-139 WASHINGTON – FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts on Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2018. The WEA portion of the test, which will be sent to consumer cell phones, will begin at 2:18 p.m. EDT. The EAS portion of the test, which will be sent to radio and television, will follow at 2:20 p.m. EDT.  This will be the fourth nationwide EAS test and the first nationwide WEA test. 

So expect radios and televisions to begin screaming as well as your phones. And don’t forget to calculate for the appropriate time zone. 2:18 is EASTERN TIME, which means 1:18 CENTRAL TIME, 12:18 MOUNTAIN TIME, 11:18 PACIFIC TIME, etc.

I didnt see this so i didnt know. Every single phone in my college class went off at the same time. It literally said "Presidential Alerts" and then the whole this is a test message. After we all complained my professor literally just said "yall better vote". I live in Texas so Cheeto Voldemort is more popular here with the older generation, but kids everywhere a fed up with him.

Harry Potter Characters that I will believe are canonically queer until JKR herself tells me otherwise.

Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan - idk about their individual sexualities but they’re a canon couple. Pretty sure JK said at one point that she considered making them canon, so they are. You can’t change my mind.

Luna Lovegood - pansexual. Luna doesn’t give two shits about your gender. If she likes you, she likes you. She probably feels about genitals the same way she feels about moles or birthmarks.

Draco Malfoy - gay. I’m about 105% sure that Draco only married a woman because his parents expected him to continue the Malfoy Bloodline. A belief that’s only furthered by the fact that his wife knew she would die at a young age and wanted a child before her passing. His parents gave him a hard enough time for marrying a woman that isn’t a racist, now imagine him getting with a dude that can’t even produce offspring. He hid, masked and repressed his sexuality probably his whole life.

Harry Potter - bisexual, although probably with a preference for women. Harry’s described people of both genders as good looking, attractive, handsome and/or beautiful. And then there was that weird tension and borderline obsession with Draco, especially in Half Blood Prince.

Sirius Black - gay. Unmarried, no children, no former girlfriends known. Also, his really “close” friendship with Remus. I imagine their relationship a lot like I would that of Dumbledore and Grindelwald. A heated on/off affair. Except over the course of multiple years.

Remus Lupin - bisexual. See above. Also, his actor at one point said he acted Remus like a “gay junkie.”

Gellert Grindelwald - ?. I strongly believe him and Dumbledore had some kind of heated affair during their time together, but I’m not sure if he actually returned Dumbledore’s feelings or if he was just using him or experimenting. And if he did return his feelings, he could be anything from gay to pan or bi.

Nymphadora Tonks - bisexual. I can’t really tell you why, I just got this feeling.

There’s more, I just can’t think of them atm.

Avatar
dracosnakeo

Completely agree. Also as a bi girl I totally understand the bi vibes from Tonks. Can I also add:

Pansy Parkinson- Bi because I have the feeling. Let me have this.

Ginny Weasley- Bi because I have the feeling. Also defended Luna a bunch could be more than a friendly gesture?? Confident in whoever she was dating so Im certain she would date girls and not give a fuck what people say.

i will never be over vernon dursley telling people at his wedding that james potter was some kind of amateur magician, implying that he wasn’t even that good

Avatar
prongsmydeer

100% believe that if petunia hadn’t cut lily out of her life, james would have just rolled with it and learned muggle magic tricks and performed them at various family functions, like

try to wear the full magician costume to dudleys christening 

“you can’t wear that james”  “it’s the only way i’m going, lil”  “fine but give me your wand”  “my real one, or the fake one that shoots out flowers?”  “both, and you’d better tidy the handkerchiefs are trailing out of your trouser leg before we leave”

“I’m not a magician, marge, i’m an illusionist.”

petunia walks in on james pretending to saw toddler dudley in half for toddle harry’s amusement

actually incorporating magic into the tricks and freaking the hell out of vernon’s extended family

standing up at christmas and saying that he’d like to perform a magic trick. and vernon and petunia are HORRIFIED and lily just pours more wine but marge says ‘let him do it’ so she can mock him?? and he tries/fails to ‘vanish’ the napkins 3-4 times and it doesn’t work, until the fourth time when it DOES and it freaks the hell out of vernon’s extended family

and that is probably when petunia cuts lily out of her life for Real

guys this is a very important post and i’ve been thinking about it all morning
