It should not be this difficult to update my payment method for my recurring donation--I want to give you my money! Why is throwing an error!

Tried two different payment methods and neither of them worked so I guess I'll be calling tomorrow :/

mind you people living in societies in the global south (and especially Africa) that are accustomed to hotter temperatures are suffering to an even greater extent bc their societies + infrastructure were designed for temperatures much closer to the upper limit of human tolerance. there comes a point where no amount of infrastructure can protect you from the heat bc the human body has biological limits – & not only that, but warming leads to more extreme weather conditions that societies in hotter climates are not equipped to handle. climate change is dangerous for people living in places where it has historically been very cool yes but we need to recognise that it's even more dangerous for people living in places close to the equator where it has historically been extremely hot. so i do think people from western countries that produce the bulk of emissions should keep their opinions about the heat to themselves, especially when their infrastructure is still able to protect them from the worst of the consequences they wrought

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

If someone is doing things that don't make Sense, try to understand that it is entirely possible that their brain is probably under an enormous weight and fracturing under the pressure. People who have been stabbed will sometimes talk a circle around the fact that they've been stabbed because stress and shock prevent you from recognizing the distress you are in and what you need to do to seek help for it. PTSD will do this also. You will find yourself repeatedly jamming a bag of frozen fruit into the same spot in the freezer where it doesn't fit and keeps falling, over and over and over, focused on nothing but that bag. You will decide that a beanbag chair is 10000% necessary to your life. You will lose your entire shit because you stubbed your toe on a table and that means the whole setup of your furniture is wrong. These are largely harmless examples. People under strain will also hurt themselves and others. Cornered animals bite. And it doesn't heal the bite to go "Hey, are you okay?" But it might get you to an animal that stops biting, so you can start to heal. And before you had an animal that bit, you probably had an animal that kept doing shit you didn't understand as stress signals

all this protein..... where has all the fiber gone?

Reblog and put in the tags if you can remember where you got the shirt you're currently wearing.

Miles tells a lot of lies in The Vor Game but we also have to give Gregor credit for the absolute corker of "Yeah Miles always tries to usurp my throne when he's off his meds."
