people love the idea of the mean girl nurse pipeline because it problematises medical abuse as a personal perversion rather than understanding it as a product of broadly held ableist values and its like, if this was only about ontologically evil teenage girls choosing to enter a profession because of their unique sadism then you really wouldnt expect to see the exact same forms of abuse pervading all arrangements of paid, unpaid, formal, ad hoc, and familial caretaking as well -- its more comforting to believe the nurse was just a preexisting bad person than that most of the world broadly hates disabled people and will abuse, neglect, and gaslight them if given power over their care

yeah i drive the truck that isekais all those lonely 20yo NEETs and bored salarymen. it’s a really hard job. they keep sending me to workplace counselling after each hit. “it’s normal to feel guilt at ending someone’s life,” they say. how do i tell them that’s not what makes me feel guilty? “but it’s okay. he’ll live a better life in another world.” yeah, with 100 girls who could have lived normal lives but got drafted into being in these boring dudes’ harems. how many women’s lives have i ruined. and they don’t even know. they don’t even know

140 CHAPTERS?

Okay maybe just this once I will read RPF

happy first day of pride everyone

a heatwave is a type of ancient curse

when i was reading the book entangled life which is about fungi and the author merlin sheldrake said that once he got his first author copies he was going to dampen the pages and use them to grow oyster mushrooms and yeast and then use the yeast to brew beer and then drink the beer with the mushrooms to complete the cycle of fungal knowledge. i was like really and truly this guy gets it

I’m not sure how or why, but this is goth as FUCK. 

His brother cosmo's music is cool as fuck tbh. The sounds in that song? Made by running electrodes through mushrooms. He has songs where every single sound comes from the ocean- the sound of coral reefs growing, of otters, of icebergs. He has songs about pelicans. He's a fun musician!

I know that you mean the "bloop" sounds in the backing track were made by running electricity through a mushroom, but I'm fascinated by the implication that he ran electricity through a mushroom and those vocals are what came out.

man you know the sheldrake household must've been wild with these two growing up

It’s fascinating hearing how other people think. My dad says he has to think of a full sentence word for word before he says it whereas I don’t know what I’m gonna say until I’ve already said it.

i love you semicolon. no one look at my 80 word sentence

[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over

i dont care about validity i care about my civil rights

“can you be trans without dysphoria” “can you be an aromantic lesbian” “can bisexuals only date one gender” i literally do not care. in what states and countries are we protected from discrimination.

crazy that this post is like two years old because in retrospect a lot of this frustration probably came from how all available “queer support” i had came from people with accepting families and all they wanted to hear was how valid and loved they were. which was nice and all for a bit until i realized there were no gender neutral bathrooms on campus and there was no easy way to mark “use this name out loud and on any paper that could be accessed by family, use this one” other putting you trust in a teacher who could (and did, in my case, several times) fuck it up and re-out you. it’s about how i couldnt tell anyone about my relationship without being afraid that it would get back home, and there would be nothing protecting me but trust. but yeah like sure man i’m a boy because i say i am and thats what matters!!! and thats all the time we have for today

tbh i love hear me outs but i also love the opposite of hear me outs where it’s like nearly everyone thinks they’re fuckable except you

wow dude jts so awesome that your car is loud as fuck and smells worse when it drives past. thags fucking epic man. i really like how it hurts to listen to you drive past and it scares people. thats awesome man. i really like your car that makes a loud as fuck fart sound. fucking epic dude

‘Nuclear Family Month’ is so funny as a concept. I have never seen a nuclear family worth celebrating.

I may in fact be stupid

Shout out to my mom who explains my transition as "Having a daughterpillar turn into a Boyterfly". It doesn't erase the fact I was an adorable little girl, and also affirms my gender now. I love my mother.

I've seen this clip many times, but never really appreciated the power of "what was her problem?" Just casually assuming that lesbians come in a wide variety of shapes and being inclusive. As a transbian who is probably still closer to Homer shaped than to my ideal, that's huge!
