been really into blood recently

My main takeaway from working in a medical lab is that the human body is a kind of soup where some bullshit happens.

#had to get a bunch of blood tests at Planned Parenthood and the lady said “you take pain so well”#And I was like flustered despite not really being into masochism at all#like c'mon that's scene dialog

Who is Ms. Yew and why are all the lesbians repeating her name

Banished from the Hero's Party because of my useless blogging skills and poor followers count, I was about to delete my tumblr but found out I'm mutuals with the Demon Lord!?

sometimes i worry im getting too vain but then i remember im a transgender woman and if anything im not vain enough

one must imagine the tumblr mutual happy

duuude is that a losing dog? *gets out my wallet*

When people talk about all art being political (hard agree) they always talk about the content, themes, etc present within the art itself. Which obviously I get and obviously is a huge part of it. Of course. But I’m personally always struck by the politics surrounding the more metatextual elements of the art; that is, stuff like access to the tools needed for the creation of the art. I mean the literal materials of which an artpiece is made. This is a low-hanging-fruit example but I’m reminded of that Disney adult who tried to claim art isn’t inherently political by being like “I just drew a stick figure on a napkin, is that political? 🤣🤣” & while I think there are multiple different angles from which one could criticize this blatantly pathetic argument, I remember being really struck by like… the flagrant “waste” of implicitly throwaway resources that many parts of the world just literally don’t have and/or that carry with them deeply fraught histories of capitalist labor exploitation and destruction of natural resources. Like. Napkins?? The apolitical canvas that is paper napkins?

i highly recommend having friends and acquaintances outside your immediate age group but there are always a few fun “what. the fuck” moments on both sides where it is unfathomable to one or both of you that the other does not know about some apparently generationally universal thing. like i promise i don’t live under a rock but i’m also like 30 and you’re not, so tell me about the thing

they put my blood through every test under the sun and yet nowhere in the pages and pages of lab reports do they tell me what my blood type is

your neutrophils absolute? 2.71. anion gap? why, that's 11! hemoglobin A1C? a solid 5.4. and don't fret, champ—your VLDL (calculated) is a cool 12. real fascinating stuff. hm? what's that? you want to know what kind of blood you have? like, so you won't have to look your next ER nurse in the eye and tell her you have no clue what type you have right after giving her a date of birth that confirms you are over 30 years old? psh, don't be silly! we can't tell you that! it's a ✨secret✨
