If you can't trust the weather, trust nothing

Biggest fuck-up ever is that people have to pay to become doctors

Like unironically we should be subsidising at least 50% of their educations. What do you mean we have a shortage of doctors we should have surplus. What do you mean they’re being overworked they should be treated like royalty, they can fix human bodies

I don’t care if some of them are only doing it for the money. I don’t care if all of them are only doing it for the money. Intentions don’t matter to the stitches in my nana’s leg or the ten billion other lifesaving treatments we all get at a detriment to their finances and mental wellbeing. Entire cities are kept alive by just a couple thousand of them what are we DOINGGGGG

If we had more, maybe it would be easier to get the shitty ones fucking replaced. The board isn't going to do much to the only endocrinologist in the state who takes Medicaid, you know? But if there were more than, idk, maybe 5? Maybe then?

More importantly if you needed less money and less physical stamina to become a doctor, people with less money and less physical stamina could become doctors, which would increase diversity and improve patient care.

I was thinking about the way most fan artists draw little Dick Grayson's clothes after he starts living at Wayne Manor, the way it's sort of that mix of jumpers, shirts, shorts and knee socks that brings in mind the 40s and I had the thought that while Bruce may not have had the idea of picking up clothes for Dick in the early days of taking him in. I mean Dick had clothes already, but kids at that age burn through clothes with wear, tear and growing. So I think, Alfred certainly took that responsibility on by himself. I thought maybe he styled Dick's new wardrobe after how Bruce dressed at that age but then, I thought what if all those little outfits had been Bruce's? Alfred, of the 'waste not, want not' mentality perhaps or maybe sentimental Alfred who just wanted to see them again, just giving Dick trunk after trunk of these well preserved clothes. And Bruce? Bruce doesn't even realise because mentally, he's blocked out all those little details of his past.

So I’m a Showman (gypsy from the fairground/circus) and do you know what makes this even funnier? That’s how we, culturally, dress our kids. It is completely normal for boys, at least until they’re about 10ish when they start to want to dress more grown up, to wear shorts and little knee high socks and patent shoes and shirts and jumpers casually. It’s what my brother grew up wearing, my dad, my cousins — that’s the standard for us. So Dick, being a gypsy from the circus, absolutely could have seen those clothes and just been like, ‘thank God, they have decent clothes!’ and thought absolutely nothing of it because that’s what he was used to anyway.

This was one of the biggest reasons my mother gave me Dick comics as a kid — because he looked and acted like us, and we so rarely got good rep.

Its obvious to me when people who post about canaries in mines have never met a canary. Like yeah the miners had a special device to revive the canary because canaries are one of the most adorable creatures on the planet and they make adorable little chirping sounds and honestly probably loved the sounds of machinery and people talking so it was probably loud and friendly with the workers. Whatever though maybe meet a canary sometime and youd understand

Why does this read as though written by a coal miner of the era in which a canary was needed.

Because time is an illusion and love is infinite
