john cage’s 4’33” is fucking silence

someone put a copyright on the absence of sound

and then disabled the audio of a video

of the absence of sound

if someone hadn’t eventually listened to me i would have died

“No,” I said. “You don’t understand. I can’t walk when it happens, it hurts so bad. It’s been since I was a little kid.”

“It might twinge a bit, sure,” he told me. “Go to physical therapy for a few weeks.” I burst into tears.

My mom then refused to take me to physical therapy, because it was a long drive and the doctor said it wasn’t serious, so why should she bother? That was the start of her not listening to any complaint about my joints I ever had.

As it turns out, my knees were dislocating every couple of days. She and my doctors ignored and taught me to ignore sprains, fractures, cartilage tears, and dislocations until I moved out and learned that it wasn’t normal. I missed out on years of my life because of my doctor not only discounting the experience of a young girl, but fully blaming my pain on the fact of my being a young girl.

HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS

TO LOOK LIKE THIS???

HEY EVERYONE

I’ve made an explanation/apology post here i’d love for you to check out but if you aren’t feeling like reading a long winded explanation here’s what’s what:

this post is three years old

i was sixteen and a pretentious idiot who though she was pretty funny and clever

i didn’t fact check jack shit

im really sorry for calling every single american a ‘fuck hole’

now for the more in-depth stuff:

im aware of the timmies locations all over the USA by now. I think i can list every single one from memory at this point

i’m sorry for the harsh and inflammatory language I used that was super not cool of me to do no matter how creative i felt at the time

I’m altering the original post bc this is the posts fourth or fifth wind and by far the biggest yet and it seems like the post is mostly going from blog to blog and people aren’t checking my blog before sending me death threats lol

SO ON THE OFF CHANCE people check the original post first I’m throwing in another apology here

take this as far warning friends, posts on the internet last forever 

I haven’t got “the whole Hobby Lobby thing wrong” actually

Limiting access to contraceptive options increases the rate of abortions, regardless of the other options these companies offer. Especially because some of the options banned (IUDs, for example) is one of the most low maintenance and effective options.

And this decision sets a precedent, treating corporations as people, allowing them to police their employee’s healthcare decisions based on their religious beliefs. No doubt this same logic could be applied to remove contraceptive coverage altogether. What’s stopping this logic from being applied in a whole host of other situations? 

Sometimes in daily life I like to pretend I’m a time traveler from late medieval Europe and I’m just fucking amazed at my luxurious life
