mid-conversation I toss a pistol onto the table not to suggest or imply anything but just to change the situation a little

fascinated by jeff the killer tbh. everyone in that creepypasta has generic white usamerican names (jeff, keith, barbara, billy, etc.) except for jeff the killer's doe eyed little brother liu. why is he liu. is liu chinese? it's okay if he's chinese. is jeff also chinese? has jeff the killer been chinese this whole time? am I a bad person?

(shocking) local queer discovers that reading queer literature is a thousand times more enlightening and a thousand times less distressing than hours of doomscrolling transgender discourse on tumblr and twitter

When asked "what do you want to be when you grow up?" 89% of children ages 6-18 responded 'warrior-poet'. The remaining 11% was some other boring shit

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

wow this post already has the most annoying notes on earth. "its the system" explicitly what im saying here is its not just a matter of overwork, burnout, or poor support for medical staff -- these things are also issues but none of you ever want to deal with the problem that a medical profession in an ableist society will be ableist, thats not an anomaly or an accident. better funded medical institutions in conditions of capitalism will just be better at doing more ableism because thats what they exist for, the reason capitalist states fund medicine is not because theyre philanthropists its because they need labourers, & this places them intrinsically at odds with the idea that people can become disabled and lose physical capacity. the 'mean girl nurse' is a way of distinguishing yourself (virtuous) from the bad people who staff hospitals. what im saying is you are not different to them, you also believe the things that make them abuse patients, these are not anomalous values to hold but ideas constantly ground into all of us from the bottom up. one day you will probably be someones caretaker in some capacity, and you will probably also need a carer in some capacity, and if you are still of the belief that you and your friends and family will be better at this simply by virtue of not being caricatures of evil girls who got nursing degrees, then i worry for all of your sakes

It's really funny how art can be so important and enriching and sometimes downright life-changing but every single piece of art about how important and life-changing art is is the lamest shit ever.

does anyone know if it’s okay to want things or let yourself have them

just had a really stable moment where i opened a redbull at the exact same second someone started playing industrial music in the apartment below and i briefly thought it was coming from inside the redbull can
