broken club

Dr. Budd:  Yes?

Dorothy:  You probably don’t remember me, but you told me I wasn’t sick.  Do you remember?  You told me I was just getting old.

Dr. Budd:  I’m sorry, I really don’t–

Dorothy:  Remember.  Maybe you’re getting old.  That’s a little joke.  Well, I tell you, Dr. Budd, I really am sick.  I have chronic fatigue syndrome.  That is a real illness.  You can check with the Center for Disease Control.

Dr. Budd:  Huh.  Well, I’m sorry about that.

Dorothy:  Well, I’m glad!  At least I know I have something.

Dr. Budd:  I’m sure.  Well, nice seeing you.

Dorothy:  Not so fast.  There are some things I have to say.  There are a lot of things that I have to say.  Words can’t express what I have to say.  [tearing up]  What I went through, what you put me through—I can’t do this in a restaurant.

Dr. Budd:  Good!

Dorothy:  But I will!

Dr. Budd’s date:  Louis, who is this person?

Dr. Budd:  Look, Miss–

Dorothy:  Sit.  I sat for you long enough.  Dr. Budd, I came to you sick—sick and scared—and you dismissed me.  You didn’t have the answer, and instead of saying “I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s wrong with you,” you made me feel crazy, like I had made it all up.  You dismissed me!  You made me feel like a child, a fool, a neurotic who was wasting your precious time.  Is that your caring profession?  Is that healing?  No one deserves that kind of treatment, Dr. Budd, no one.  I suspect had I been a man, I might have been taken a bit more seriously, and not told to go to a hairdresser.

Dr. Budd:  Look, I am not going to sit here anymore–

Dr. Budd’s date:  Shut up, Louis.

Epic released a Fortnite update allowing players to bypass Apple to buy their vbucks from Epic directly Apple pulled Fortnite from the app store Epic served Apple a lawsuit

all this, while apple is having antitrust hearings in the EU

you love to see it

nuh uh, no. Epic is a 17 billion dollar company. Apple is worth between 1.5 to 2 trillion dollars. i know numbers that big are hard to even conceive but it takes someone the size of Epic to even have a chance at Apple, that’s the point.

and rooting for Epic to get a bigger rev share of the bullshit they sell to children is unfortunately worthwhile bc multiple devs have come out and said that if places like Steam and Apple took a reasonable rev share, like 10 to 18%, instead of fucking 30%, it would literally change the state of the industry for indie devs. it’d be a massive shift. it would outright pay for more salaries, it would get more games greenlit, we would have a richer landscape.

also, Epic is really aiming high on this: Representing Epic in this matter is Christine Varney, a former FTC commissioner and head of the Justice Department’s antitrust division under President Obama.

and its a small step, but a good ruling on this might be a step in the right direction against the Disneys of the world.

(I can't figure out how to embed it because I'm old)

but basically, the beautiful little kitten featured in this video, valkyrie, began showing multiple signs of an unknown illness, and between the costs of the visits to the emergency vet and the price of tests and medication, the financial burden is going to be too much on them

heres the gofundme that they show in the tiktok to cover the medical costs for valkyrie. please help them out if you can!

USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web  GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.

Two click reblog and one click like is why the notes on my posts look like this:

Alternatively, if you’re being zip tied or tied up in general it’s a good idea to present your fists to the person instead of having them grab and force them. That way, you can present them in an easier to escape position.

Like these:

The tutorials I followed on this website were super helpful and show a few methods of breaking out of zip ties. It take ten minutes to learn and could quite literally save your life!

There’s one for every state.

(From the looks of it, I haven’t looked to see if there’s 50 apps.)

[Edit: nope. There’s not one for every state.]

ACLU Blue is for posting your video to a public forum, not requesting a legal review.

Mobile Justice is for sharing your video “directly with an affiliate’s legal department” and requesting a legal review. You are not requesting to post to a public forum.

However, both apps allow ACLU affiliates to share your videos with whoever they see fit, including the general public. “Like ACLU Blue, videos submitted via the Mobile Justice apps are not privileged.” 

Each app has a selection of additional features that is slightly different from the other app’s additional features.
