Hysterical

Labour is going to win the general election and then say this doesn’t go far enough.

"Sunak said ‘something has gone wrong’ since the pandemic to increase the number of people signed off work for long-term sickness" (metro)

staring into the camera like its the fucking office

"Mr Sunak also said, if the Conservatives win the general election, those who were still out of work after 12 months after support from a work coach will have "their benefits removed entirely"." (bbc)

just fucking shoot me now i hate it here

okay logging back in for one thing:

the government now has an open call for evidence on their proposed changes.

"This call for evidence is part of a wider suite of activity to reform the fit note and will act as a prelude to a full consultation on specific policy proposals which will be launched later this year."

it's all well and good for people to say "oh just because he said it, doesn't mean it will happen", as if the government hasnt happily let disabled people die from benefit cuts, lack of social care and oh yeah FUCKING COVID. have people forgotten that? 6/10 covid deaths in the uk were disabled people and nobody cared. so don't think they won't keep making it worse for us.

please read, please share and please if youre in the uk, please consider fighting with us to stop this.

i am so tired of watching my community die.

I really, sincerely believe that the British should drag their ruling classes out into the streets and just fucking go to town on them with clubs

Sometimes I still hear my voice

Keep telling everyone I'm dead

Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.

Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.

I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I’d probably believe they were sick.

“Slutantions” has me crying laughing

i once emailed my professor with a migraine. a mistake.

“I amsick will not to choir because i have a heache. i Hope its very and i am so sorry

love,

blue”

the subject line was “OW”

THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSJDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN “OW”

As someone who has taught college, please send those emails because 1) We WILL believe that; no one would write that on purpose and 2) we need a laugh sometimes.

On the other side of this, once after getting taken to the ER by ambulance, I got an email from the professor whose class I’d passed out in, and the message had no text, just the subject line “you good?”

Reblogging for the last addition

Claritin makes me weird, but I have allergies so there’s about a month and a half block of time where I’m taking Claritin and am just weird most of the time.

Anyway, my last year of college, I got the flu or something in late March and was also taking Mucinex. I told my professor I couldn’t come to class one day by email except I couldnt think of what to say, so my medicated ass decided to make a Fry meme. I think it said something like “Not sure if I can go to class with a head the size of Texas, bottom text.” I didn’t think until the next day that it probably wasn’t socially-acceptable to tell your philosophy professor you weren’t coming to class via Tumblr style memes. When i got back to class, i found that she’d printed it out and taped it to the classroom bulletin board.

Oh shit you guys i turned on my WinXP laptop that I used to use back then.

IT WAS ON THE DESKTOP. THIS IS WHAT I SENT.

It’s even worse than i remember it

I laugh myself hoarse every time this post comes around, so here it is again.

Once emailed a professor from my hospital bed high on painkillers after a really bad car crash which my heart actually stopped the email “Dead cant class sory”

im a proud "ive never used chat gpt" user btw

i honestly dont think I've willingly used a chatbot since..... cleverbot in 2012. i genuinely dont know why so many people care about this ai bullshit. sorry im with the boomers on this one. i need human creation, emotion, and thought to be interested, pal

Oh? What's this...?

A little animal, on the grounds of my yard—!

Oh! I think I startled it! I've gotta be careful; that "spear" looks rather sharp—!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I needle-felted a tiny slugcat yesterday, and if you ask me, it came out SO cute! Below the cut are some more pictures of it to show off some angles and poses (featuring one of my felting needles as a "spear"):

So what makes a butcher knife more butch than other knives?

The knife itself isn't necessarily butch. It's named that because it's wielded by a butcher, who is more butch than the other food shop owners

Hmm, I see.

What, then, makes the butcher more butch than other food shop owners?

the knife

That's what ancient Greek philosophy is like

The fact that it's confirmed that Togepi helps Volo makes sales just 🥹

We’ve waited a year to reblog this. Happy Bread Anniversary!

Because it’s important to celebrate the little victories in life. 

IT’S BREAD DAY!

…Yay!

On April 19th (2022), I also made bread

Here’s to you, anonymous person from the far past

To whoever might read this in the far future, I hope you too can have a nice loaf of bread

The creator of these images is Matt Bernstein, one of my favorite educators online -- he makes incredibly clear, forceful collections of information like this one. He's queer, has fantastic nails, and has done a lot of education recently from his perspective as a Jewish person on why supporting Palestine is so important. Here's a link to this post, which he created for World AIDS Day on 12/1/23.

"i could fix him" "i could make him worse" well i could turn him into a flea. a harmless little flea. then i'd put that flea inside of a box📦. and then i'd put that box inside of another box🎁. and then i'd maaaaiiiilllllll that box to myself!!!!!!!!11!!!!! 📬

ANDWHENITARRIVESAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'D SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!!!!!!!! 🔨💥

I can change him.. into a llama.

A llama?! He's supposed to be dead!

"My name is N. I will show you that my love for my friends permeates every cell of my body. Behold!"

Another reason I want more Addams Family with the 90s cast is I think it would be so nice to see Morticia uncorseted and aging gracefully. I don't think she'd go full Grandmama but do you really think an Addams is afraid of wrinkles and cellulite?

Look me in the eye and tell me Anjelica Huston doesn't still have it.

Some normie to Morticia: don't do _______, it will give you wrinkles.

Gomez: God, I hope so.

at morticia's 50th birthday party everyone's making Over The Hill jokes with the same envious joy you would celebrate your cousin's hundred million dollar lottery win. the "hill" decorations are various piles of rats, bones, garbage, severed limbs. there's a lot of chains and stolen crucifixes around instead of party streamers. the cake is a graveyard hill and they cut it with a visibly filthy shovel.

'one foot in the grave' gomez tells his wife, actively crying, 'and what a foot!'

morticia has the first slice of cake (it has a little sugar grave on it). when she finishes her delicate spoonful and smiles, the camera zooms in and we see she has spontaneously developed crow's feet. off camera is the sound of her husband really unsubtly orgasming.

after the party they drive off in a hearse with glass bottles of formaldehyde tied to the bumper. it says JUST OLD in the back.

the unsubtle orgasm noises continue.

YES. I WANT THIS.
