pickling in the bog, mistaken for a log.

they call it South Carolina because things go south quickly the moment you cross the state line

“do i want to purchase fireworks ORRRRR visit a heinously culturally insensitive vaguely Mexican themed theme park”

the United States government, which absolutely does not have a history of shooting, bombing, drugging and poisoning its citizens and definitely reflects the will of the people-

“you voted for this” wait until you hear about gerrymandering and all the forms of voter suppression the state and federal government has tried

last night I dreamt that I ran a historic bed and breakfast with my two husbands and one of them had a TBI and we were dealing with that

I do think you lose your right to medical privacy when you decide to become a politician and it is mad fucked up that these people hold our lives in their hands and are allowed to disappear for months on end with no explanation. You need a doctor’s note to miss school for a cold but we have no clue if Mitch McConnell is dead or alive and Tom Kean was allowed to fuck off for 4 months without telling the public why. I don’t give a fuck about your privacy, you’re not protecting my privacy, if you’re leeching tax dollars and partying it up in a rich person rehab resort somewhere while your constituents vote against our access to healthcare, we should be allowed to know. Fuck you. I say this as a disabled person, I’m always having to explain the nature of my disability and the details of my health but we’re not allowed to know what the fuck is going on with these people.

have to explain the nature of your disability and details of health? no, you don't. that's illegal, protected by HIPAA, and if pursued constitutes as harassment actionable by law.

oh, honey

oh. you're not from here.

no, I am very much an American it is just that when you have a disease that attacks your intestines, you have no privacy

i once had a coworker who was endlessly harassed for her bathroom breaks. She had celiac and ibs. She was told by her manager and HR that celiac "isnt a disability". We had a disability awareness month presentation a week later that listed celiac on the slideshow. She quit. We worked for the united states government btw.

Yeah. I have ulcerative colitis and it is so embarrassing to deal with in office settings. When you have to take a 15+ minute bathroom break on company time, everyone assumes you’re playing games on your phone at best or snorting coke off the toilet seat at worst. It does not occur to people that you can genuinely fight for your life on the toilet multiple times a day through no fault of your own. They bully you out of the workforce by shaming you for needing reasonable accommodations and then mock you for not working. Your boss takes note of how long it takes you to shit but senators and congressmen are allowed to disappear from their jobs for weeks or months.

I hope 71 year old Lindsey Graham’s death makes his elderly, fossilized, decrepit fucking constitutes contemplate their own mortality and feel Satan snapping at their heels. I hope it’s a sign to them to try to get right with God. They can’t and they won’t but I hope they feel their mortality and the punishment awaiting them, if they have the slightest faith in the religion they profess to follow.

LINDSEY GRAHAM GONE!!!!!!!!

rest in piss to my least favorite gay and homophobic Southern Baptist South Carolina closet case

the illness he died of? sick of himself

I was kind of right, his aorta imploding was like nature’s self-destruct feature

if I was in the Trojan War, I would have given up and gone home about 3 weeks in

the oldest extant structure in Bulgaria is over 7,000 years old

I’m sorry that I’m taking the reblog button away more and more on my hot takes but sometimes I just want to rant without having to battle 47 bad faith takes from people who clearly do not care what context the post exists in.
