Not to be dramatic but this is absolutely the right way to deal with creepy old men whose “art” is just pictures of naked women

Stream here up to the end of May 

talking to a guy who works in tech about phones and mentioned how i didn’t like the new iphones or androids bc of the size and he was like “yeah i’ve noticed quite a few women feel like that idk why bc it’s so good having such a big screen” and i was like “it’s literally bc our hands are too small, i can’t reach across the screen” and he was shocked and had never thought about it and i had to explain to him how many things aren’t designed for women and he was truly astonished 🙄🙄

Not to be dramatic but this post made me have a legit ‘holy shit’ moment

I've been quite fond of my OnePlus brand phone. They're long and narrow, like a 20:9 aspect ratio, so you have lots of screen real estate but it's still narrow enough to fit comfortably in the hand. They're not super big in the US, but they are the most popular phone brand in India. Might be worth looking into for some of you.

Unpopular but true: a large reason why grocery store are empty now isn’t just because there’s a bunch of greedy, awful people panic everything in sight to spite others. Sure, there’s some hoarding assholes, but a lot of it is people realizing they will now need over a month’s worth of groceries in one go when they might usually only buy enough to last them a week, maybe two, and people who can no longer supplement with going out, people who are now eating three meals at home when usually their kids eat lunch at school and they have lunch at the office… that’s a hell of a lot more food than most families need to have on hand, including people who normally never cook and just grubhub everything. The food supply chains will hopefully stabilize a bit in the coming weeks - just wanted to point out it’s not all malicious and people aren’t as awful as is being said. I’m under self imposed quarantine, social distancing, working from home and staying away from others. Hoping all of you guys are safe and feeling ok.

Huh. Hadn’t thought about it like that before

#we should all try to be critical and thoughtful when encountering narratives that suggest that humanity is inherently selfish #or promotes the perspective of viewing your community as a hoard that you’re separate from#cause these beliefs really do limit your ability to trust in your neighbors and establish mutual aid networks &#make you more susceptible to eugenics propaganda#criticize individuals behaving badly or even specific behavior that is widespread- but when it comes to criticizing ‘humanity’ or whatever#be careful and think about what you actually mean#I saw someone criticizing getting 3 months of meds & like I normally get my meds in 3 month batches as of like a year ago#cause I’ve been consistently on the same meds for like half a decade#and also I don’t know if I’ll even be able to see my psychiatrist in the coming months (via @closet-keys​)

So much this. I’m not hoarding anything but I need four loaves of bread to get through a week at home with my kids! (Yes my kids eat a lot of bread, they’re kids.)

Exactly. I spent my entire month’s grocery budget in two trips. Because I’m hoping/planning to go several weeks without shopping again. Normally, there are at least a few items where I’m like, “Oh, I still have a bit of that left. I’ll get it next time.” But this time I bought all of those items now, and some an extra backup. I mean, I’m a single person shopping only for me. I didn’t buy a huge amount of groceries. But I did buy in a single week what I would normally buy in 3-4 weeks. And if it was ONLY me doing that, it wouldn’t matter. But because EVERYONE is doing it at the same time, suddenly the grocery store’s normal amount of product isn’t enough to cover everyone buying more than they usually do. It makes sense. 

While we’re at it, why don’t we add the farmers and truck drivers who make sure we still have food to eat.

Don’t forget the trashmen

And suddenly the world is realising that there’s a reason all these supposedly ‘shitty’ jobs exist, and that’s because it’s bloody hard for society to function without them.

Why did he do that?

Do not let this be forgot that he not only fired the pandemic team in 2018, but he also most recently refused WHO's COVID-19 testing for Americans in fear that too many positive testing would diminish his chances at a reelection. (X)(X)
