LITerature

I vote we stop calling it inflation at all. Seize the language. It's price gouging, not inflation. Inflation is a nebulous concept that invokes feeling of being too complex for the layman, a struggle as old as economy itself against a beast no one has ever truly slain.

Price gouging is the truth of it. And it makes it very clear who is to blame, and what must be done to end it.

Can confirm this works wonders. Australia is in a cost of living crisis rn and the two major supermarkets are a big part of it, as they pretty much have a duopoly on not just the grocery shopping market, but a bunch of others considered to be essential (things like fuel). They are trying to blame their price rises on inflation, but the media recently started reporting it as price gouging (which it is), and it got the average person pretty worked up, better than blaming inflation did.

really? another album? didn't she just make one??

do you realize what you're wishing on me

the way Eddie welcomed Erica to Hellfire grinning like the Cheshire Cat after she handed him his ass like that

the way Dustin - smart ass, cautious, knows what it's like to be bullied-Dustin - yelled NO WAY YOU DON'T KNOW EDDIE LIKE I DO

the way Eddie handed Steve - dirty ass, bleeding Steve - his vest, probably the most cherished piece of clothing he owns without second thought while he had a leather jacket to spare

the way Eddie was jealous of Steve for his relationship with Dustin but so very uninterested in competing with him in any other situation, had no impulse to be the 'better man', like when Steve had his hairy tits out about to do some brave deeds

the way Eddie explained to Dustin and Mike that he didn't want to move Hellfire by explaining that his friends could miss out something that was very important to them if they postponed (subtext: what if we don't manage to find another time to get together?) and not just told them to fuck off

the way Jason had to put his foot on Gareth's fingers to the point the where cracking before Gareth gave away something

I'm sure there is more...

The way Eddie was so pissed about having to dive into Lover's Lake after Steve and the others but he did it anyway

The way that he frantically tried to wake Chrissy up before she literally broke like a doll in front of his eyes and he still was ashamed of himself for running away which any sane human would never blame anyone for

The way Eddie was initially offended when he thought Chrissy was sketched out by him in the woods, but immediately jumped into "distract and cheer-up" mode when he realized that she was legitimately distressed

The way he started Hellfire to provide the bullied and unloved kids of Hawkins a refuge and a place to belong, and it was so important to him that his last thoughts were of them

There's definitely more.

#this is the star trek i wanna see#like when somebody asked gene roddenberry why piccard was bald#because wouldn’t they have found a cure for male pattern baldness by then?#and he was like ‘no by the 24th century no one will care’#i wanna see that attitude with disability and neurodiversity#it’s not that we’ll have a magic cure for everything#there’ll always be something new#but disabilities and neurodiversity will be celebrated and seen as part of the norm#it will be accomodated#so blind people can serve in star fleet#and so can people in wheelchairs and autistic people and people with prosthetics and people with chronic illnesses (via @hunterinabrowncoat)

I am a chronic turn signaller. People will be like “there’s no cars around.” Wrong, I’m

1. letting pedestrians know.

2. I’m doing this in case I missed a car or person somewhere, or

2b. I’m gonna be stuck at this intersection til a car or person shows up

3. It makes it a habit

I love warrior cats so much bec they are silly little kitty cats. Despite everything, despite all the horrors, they fucking look like this -

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]

as a cis woman who's had a hysterectomy and partial oophorectomy, this would be helpful for me, too! it'd be pointless to try to diagnose me for disorders that affect organs I don't have anymore, after all.

being inclusive helps us ALL. 💖

Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:

- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain

- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck

- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap

- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill

- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard

- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style

Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.
