not fine. comatose.

I don’t even care who fucking wins the presidency this year look at this

This makes an INCREDIBLE difference!!!! For fuck sake go vote!!!!

A few years back a Republican won my house district by six vote. Now she’s talking about making it illegal to protest the Gazan genocide. Pay attention to Congress

if any of your circle is telling you voting is useless and it will never get us anywhere is lying to get you not to vote. republicans will always vote. not voting is just pulling your teeth for them. go vote and dont reblog propaganda that makes you feel hopeless

Jonathan I know this time loop sucks but you have to go to Transylvania again and eat that same paprikás csirke for the thousandth time sorry there's no other way

this from the guy who wrote the sting pain index, a scale he constructed after letting himself be stung by insects

“why did i start this list” pleaseeeeeee this is so funny

his descriptions were extremely on-point, and frankly inspiring when writing a hurt/comfort scene

Instagram poets could never!

For those who want it, here is the entire list:

Anyways, dude's 1,000% a huge masochist. Nobody just describes pain like this unless they're enjoying it.

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.

They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.

So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"

I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.

6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"

Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"

People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.

Further Americanisms that tell you to check on your American:

been better = in hell

doin’ alright = sad, needs hug

pretty great! = genuine actual baseline. Anything else ranks beneath this. Be Aware.

I’m here, ain’t I? = Defcon 5

Because someone asked, indications that an American is actually Having A Good Day include:

"Livin' the Dream!" - actively daydreaming about swandiving into a woodchipper

“magic isnt real” — plants just grow out of the ground. for free. everywhere.

"It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works."

Do you write music with the view of being politically active and delivering a message or does it just happen and the rest follows? 

ALL THINGS ARE INTERCONNECTED SO DEEPLY SO AS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DILENIATE IN ANY MEANINGFUL MEANNER. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO INTERACT WITH THESE CONNECTIONS BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DO NOT EXIST

nearly 300 people were arrested in nyc last night

many people still havent been released yet. apparently a lot havent even been processed so no one knows where theyre being held, which is a bit unusual

Me trying and failing to flirt: hey did you know that adding lanes to roads actually increases traffic and so to decrease traffic we actually need to invest in alternative means of transportation like public transit and bike infrastructure and remove freeways since the natural bottlenecks they crate mean traffic will only get worse as they grow so if we want to fix our cities and make them more livable we need an end to the American automotive dependence

Suburban sprawl is inherently unsustainable and the only reason we continue to build it is because the wealthy have a vested interest in it as the automotive dependence and atomization it creates directly lead to corporate profits at the expense of community and human health

Countries that beat out the US (other than the ones you'd expect, like Finland and Sweden): Kuwait, Lithuania, Slovenia, Czechia, and the United Arab Emirates. We only just barely edged out Germany and Mexico. (The lowest three are, understandably, Lesotho, Lebanon, and Afghanistan)

I wouldn't put it down to entirely universal healthcare: lots of the ones we beat out, like Germany and France, have universal healthcare, because universal healthcare is the norm in most countries other than the US. It's a bit like saying that all the ones ranked higher have mountains: like, yes, but so do the lower-ranked ones. (Not to mention that the US was ranked higher before and it's not like we lost universal healthcare at some point)

Like, it's not not a factor, I just wouldn't call it the most important one. I should think our recent economic issues from the pandemic, increased bigotry (including things like losing abortion access and the backlash against queer people), and unceasing amounts of gun violence may also be contributing factors.

hes never beating the lesbian allegations

hello? is anybody there?

fuuuck my stupid gay tail all the ideal dogs point at laugh at my dumb faggy tail
