had an existential crisis over space

what the people want, the people get

you see

my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.

evidence as explained:

victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world

his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression

he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest

henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces 

afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?

Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational 

the book does not otherwise have central female characters 

Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.

After setting up a rudimentary website for CARP, the satirical, but still real company was offered a $15 million package of medical debt for $60,000.

Oliver explained that the debt was out of statute, which means it is the kind of debt that a collector can only continue to collect, but not sue the debtor for.

RIP Medical Debt is a charity (and therefore takes donations). They buy the rights to medical debt and then forgive them. So far they’ve forgiven over 1B in medical debt.

Every right leaning imbecile wants to pretend those rules were just arbitrarily hurting business owners, and that recalls were always this bad but are just reported more all the sudden.

No. It is really as simple as the fact that we had rules to reduce this sort of thing, a greedy idiot changed some of those rules, and now this sort of thing is astronomically worse.

We also need to talk about the fact that the threat of fines really was the only reason these brands bothered to practice even the most obvious quality checking or sanitation.

glassdoor, for some reason: so you want me to recommend you a civil engineering job. you want to build bridges? you are qualified to build bridges? you are qualified for land development? you are engineer?
