Just About Everything

my mom went to the farmer’s market today and was like ‘i have a present for u in the garage!!!’ and there was……a big lad…..

peak cooking competition humor is when a contestant doesn’t know where or what something is and the camera just slowly zooms in on it

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen

What I learned from this is a lot of medical professionals have had to explain to people they can’t run out of blood and live

And a real medical professional shouldn’t have to stick you multiple times to draw blood. 

In her defense, my doctor is at a teaching hospital, so there are always students, residents, interns etc. learning. The doctor or nurse or flabotomist asks permisssion for their student to practice on you, and I usually say yes unless I’m feeling particularly sick tht day and don’t want to risk exactly this.

Also I really took a blind shot at spelling phlebotomist huh

Flabotomist

You have to be nice to me I have a rare no-blood disorder

Warming her tootsies.

me acting like ive did nothing wrong ever

I love that she is exposing the ugly stuff that goes on in washington. This is why the politicians hate her so much but the people love her.

What was that bit about “draining the swamp” again?

If you ever wondered what does fuel shortage look like in the end of the world just look at portugal right now. Shit’s crazy

Truck drivers are on strike, specifically the ones who carry dangerous stuff—like gasoline. The strike was announced months ago, but nobody gave a shit, and since yesterday there has been no gas coming into the country. This has nothing to do with the government either, it’s a matter of private companies paying their employers less than 600€ a month to drive for hours carrying dangerous materials. As a result, people freaked out and flocked to gas stations everywhere to fill in their tanks. Where I live, the entire area, only two gas stations have gas left. In left than 12h, people sucked the country dry of gas out of fear. You’d stay in line for 30 minutes trying to get some gas, literally anywhere, and you’d risk the chance of there being nothing left for you. Buses and taxis have shortened their services because they can’t refill. Uber has sent out notes saying they can’t provide any more services. Our local ferries have announced they can’t cross the river after Friday because that’s how long their gas lasts. Airplanes aren’t flying, a lot of flights are being cancelled because they’re also short on fuel. The government had to call in the fucking military, though I’m not sure what for. Whatever gas is there left, government agencies are rationing it towards emergency vehicles. Literally the entire country is slowly freezing. My boyfriend only has enough gas til the weekend, if this situation hasn’t been solved until then, he can’t go to work. A lot of people are in the same situation. I cant be sure if I am able to get on a bus, but chances are, in a few days I won’t even be able to leave my fucking house lmao this is absolute chaos, I have never seen anything like this and it’s looking like this shit won’t be settled anytime soon because the employers absolute refuse to negotiate with the Union that set up the strike. Literally employers do not care that an entire country is frozen, with nothing, not even ambulances, and all because apparently they refuse to pay a little more than 600€

The entirety of Algarve is on the verge of touristic collapse. An entire region hasn’t got a single drop of gas, thousands of tourists stranded because they can’t fly home and cancellation after cancellation from others who refuse to come to this mess right now. I admit I never imagined the monumental impact gas has on our lives but it’s been a eye-opening experience

LITERALLY EVERY INDUSTRY IN THE COUNTRY HAS STOPPED AND ALL BECAUSE A FEW PRIVATE COMPANIES REFUSE, ABSOLUTELY REFUSE, TO PAY MORE THAN MINIMUM WAGE TO THEIR WORKERS YAY CAPITALISM

My flight to portugal is tomorrow … I guess I’ll walk to setubal then lol

If you take the train you’re safe. I think you should be able to make it from the airport and back if you take the subway and the train, but like it could be REALLY packed….
