what a beautiful mess this is

Sometimes, you can commit a little insurance fraud, as a treat, if the reason you have to is because health insurance in the US is a nightmare

I see a lot of posts about insurance fraud, and I just want to point out that they didn't get married for insurance. They got married before it was known that Iris was sick. They were young and lost, etc. He didn't divorce her when she was found because that's when her illness became known, and his insurance became important to getting her the help she needs. I just think it's important to appreciate the nuance.

Do yourself a favour and watch this. It’s hilarious

Well shit. I’m dying. I’ll die next Monday or today or at some point between now and then but either way lone start will kill me. #911ls

If all you are going to do week by week is complain about the show. Then stop watching it.

This is actually pretty badass.

Absolutely fucking awesome. LET'S GO!!!!

“This representation was groundbreaking for the time and a lot of people liked it” and “This may have aged poorly and many modern audiences from the group don’t feel represented by it and are bothered by aspects of it” are not mutually exclusive

see also: “it’s okay to feel uncomfortable with these pieces of media due to their clumsy—if not harmful—depictions” and “some people still enjoy them, despite their flaws, especially older people who grew up without the same amount of representation we have today, and it’s not your place to tell someone they can’t like it”

see also “it’s valid to dislike a piece of media because the associations it brings to mind for you are upsetting” and “the associations something brings to mind for you may not be universal or intended, so before you decide something is ‘x-coded’ or ‘a dogwhistle’ you need to fact check a bit.”

see also “you will not be able and are under no obligation to relate to every piece of media that depicts your group” and “your own feelings about this media is not the only opinion that matters and you cannot tell other people within your group that they shouldn’t relate to it.”

Happy birthday @buttercupstrand​
