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. 💖

Yes, exactly this. My OBGYN was forced to give someone a pregnancy test because she was AFAB, despite the fact that she was 70 and hasn't had a uterus for 30 years.

Truly love the number of people I've met that have been like "Well I went to a Catholic school as a kid, which is to say I'm not Catholic" like damn Catholic schools really out here doing the exact opposite of missionary work.

Tim Cain's Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins -- They're the shadow king's favorite!

  • 1 and 2/3 cup flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin (half of a 16 oz can)
  • 1/2 cup (one stick) butter, melted

preheat oven to 350. grease muffin tins (one dozen regular size) or use baking cups. mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Break eggs into another bowl. add pumpkin and butter and whisk until blended. stir in chocolate chips. pour over dry ingredients and stir until just blended. do NOT overstir! scoop batter into tins and bake 20-25 minutes. after cooling, keep muffins wrapped in plastic to avoid drying.

Also, current estimates state that the human population will max out at around 9.4 to 10.4 billion; the simple fact is that birth control combined with massive populations condensed into small regions means that people are having fewer kids (the latter because they no longer need to have a dozen children to ensure that maybe half of them will survive to adulthood and keep your family farm functional), and that's okay. Any starvation or lack of supplies that happens is not the result of overpopulation, but of poor supply chains- war, trade disputes, corrupt politicians, and corporate greed are the reasons why not everyone has enough to eat or a house to live in, not overpopulation.

The fact that every platform is training and/or actively using AI features at this point makes me hsjebdibridbfineodkgor (frothing at the mouth).

No, I don't want Meta AI to draft a message for my friend who just lost his family member.

No, I don't want to pay money so a chat bot can diagnose my symptoms instead of a doctor.

No, I don't want to speak to an AI "therapist."

The fact that "this is the future" that's becoming more and more normalized is a huge problem that I can't even begin to articulate my hate for.

Shoutout to whoever it was who informed me a few weeks ago that some types of Zofran have stevia in them because I got to tell my doctor about it today, and he literally made this face behind his mask because he had no idea, and he is also stevia intolerant:

Me, rocking up for my annual physical and my bucketload of weird health problems: so anyway [drops some new medical lore here]

Dr. Brandon who has been hanging on for dear life to the rollercoaster that's been my health saga since he saved my life in 2019, sweating nervously as he yet again learns something new about himself against his will: exCUSE ME?

Thank you for the warning. I go to my doctor who handles my Zofran prescription next week, so I'll talk to her then.

I have a laundry list of medications I have to take already. The fact I have to specify which generic manufacturers I can use on over half of them is obnoxious.

I feel you. It's a pain in the ass, constantly having to check ingredients. Fwiw, I've got an old (empty) bottle that doesn't list it on the ingredients, but my latest batch from a different manufacturer does.

So, y'know, before anyone panics and throws their meds away, check the ingredients on your bottle. It just never occurred to me to check my new Rx until someone pointed it out, and I had a "mother fucker" moment of realization.

one of my greatest pet peeves in fiction, and it is truly stupid I know, is that no one seems to understand how genuinely hard it is to kill someone via stabbing. stab wounds have a mortality rate of like 5%. especially abdominal stabbing. tv shows and movies show dudes getting stabbed one time in the lower abdomen with a tiny knife and then they fall over. like what did he die of precisely. that man died of Small Knife

When people graffiti on buildings: Yes! Ha ha! Fuck yes!

When people graffiti on rockfaces and cliffsides on hiking trails: What the absolute fuck.

It's not punk to poison the soil, dude.

Apparently there used to be a heirarchy of graffiti: tag < piece < mural < memorial. And doing one lower in heirarchy over a higher one was a huge insult. Like it was a specific unwritten rule thing

[image ID: Tumblr tags reading: #also murals #please don't do that #or the really nice graffiti #there was a nice mural of birds on the side of a building that someone did one of those quick 'scribble' signing on #and it was really annoying #cause it makes it really hard to fix #cause you can't just cover it up /End ID]

any Reagan or thatcher memorial is exempt to the rule.

any Reagan or

thatcher memorial is

exempt to the rule.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

It seems to follow the same rule as satire: Punching up vs. Punching down.

Graffiti on the side of a building is using your voice against those who would silence you. A memorial on the side of one of those buildings helps ensure the legacy of someone who would otherwise be forgotten (Which is why a memorial to Reagan or Thatcher is exempt from the rule).

But Graffiti on a rock alongside a hiking trail is one person imposing their presence and power on a space meant for everyone.

$122,000. And the thing is so shodily designed that the accelerator can become that easily stuck. It isn't even all one piece.

$122,000. That's more than my entire household income, and we're 3 adults with full-time jobs.

If you gave that $122,000 to Feeding America, that would provide over 1 million meals.

That's $122,000 more than Tesla paid in taxes.
