Every small thing you do for yourself health adds up. The grief is heavy and it comes from a place of love. The grief knows the pain is wronging you.

I’m proud of you. I hope on the good days you can be proud of yourself.

OH MY GOD. I DID IT. I ACTUALLY DID IT.

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

(*for example you or someone you know needs treatment right now immediately so the bad one is the only option. feel free to vote yes even if you've moved since your bad experience and the hospital you have access to now is better!)

I'm usamerican so my experience is within the US health system, but ohhhh my god the ER in my town is awful. Whether the nurses and doctors are rude or not is hit or miss (some are super friendly, others will ask you rapid fire questions and expect you to keep up even when you're in distress and try to tell you that a pulse of 52 is "within normal range" - I'm not Lance Armstrong bro??? I'm here cause I randomly passed out cause I couldn't breathe, hello???). I've read that they're also Highly Encouraged to not spend a lot of time on one patient and to discharge ASAP, and I believe it - one time my mom went in because her blood sugar was extremely high, and as the nurse was discharging her she was like "well just come back if it gets above 300 again" like it wasn't actively still above 300 (still high enough to be in the ER). I had to go in the other day for what turned out to be a bad case of diverticulitis + resulting infection and they really should have kept me overnight, but I got sent home that afternoon even though I was in severe pain and halfway to passing out from low blood pressure on the wheelchair ride out to the taxi, like these people cannot WAIT to get rid of you. I've heard even worse stories from other people too, some who've almost died bc of this ER's BS. I think it has more to do with how Questionably things are run and the shortage of quality doctors/nurses here than anything, but holy stars. Next time, unless I'm in a situation where I might die in the next 20mins, I'm going to the hospital in the next town over...

People kept walking past us and the person behind the desk even chatted to us and then at like 3am she went “wait have you had your scan yet??”

And I’m like no???

After his incredible UFO encounter, Gorbin is thrilled to be taking his story to the masses. After calling in to the local news, Gorbin is swiftly upgraded to a national segment, but that’s when things get really strange.

The producers are asking Gorbin to wear an ultra-realistic silicone mask, telling him it will make his story more credible if he looks like an old guy. But when the neck of this mask is exposed on live TV, does it hurt or harm Gorbin’s very real story? As the conspiracy gets deeper, Gorbin doesn’t know what to think.

Clarity comes when the handsome sentient mask comes to apologize, prompting a journey even farther into the unknown… and the erotic.

This erotic tale is 4,300 words of sizzling human on gay mask action, including anal, blowjobs, rough sex, and ultra-realistic silicone disguise love.

Could I spend 10 years fact checking? Yes. Do I need to? No! (Did I take a 12-week history course to aid me in researching for a novel that I’ve been writing for over 3 years now? Yes 👏)

I think Chuck’s books remind me that writing can be fun and silly and still be put out there instead of buried. I’ve always loved books like “Pride and Prejudice Except Mr Darcy is a Vape God”, because it’s creative and it’s fun even if it is simple.

Some of my favourite stories have been fan works or parodies and don’t need to take themselves seriously.

For one, in some cultures asking an obvious question is just a polite way of acknowledging the situation. So for example, if you just put your jacket on and start clocking out, a co-worker asking "oh, you done for the day and heading out now?" doesn't deserve you sneering at them like an idiot, scoffing, and saying "uh duh, just like I do every day at this time" when it's likely they knew the answer, but were just asking as a polite way of acknowledging the situation.

But even if they were genuinely unsure that you're leaving even though it seems obvious to you from context clues, so what? What does being rude and condescending to them achieve? Maybe they couldn't sleep last night so they're really out of it today, maybe they're dissociating, maybe they're about to pass out from low blood sugar, maybe some other employees sometimes put on their jacket and only clock out briefly but come back.

“Oh, are you cooking?” asks person who thought you were going out tonight.

“Are you leaving?” asks time-blind person who’s surprised it’s 5:00.

“Are you going to lunch?” asks person who remembers there’s a meeting in 30 minutes.
