It's not "everyone" acting like it's normal. The majority of people know something's wrong they just don't have the tools to fix it. Maybe a plurality don't know that the problem is capitalism, they blame it on something else, but they're still aware there's a problem. "Everyone" is just too exhausted from working 4 jobs, 50 hours a week to scream into the void in their spare time.

guess I gotta pull out this bad boy again huh

Facebook deleted this almost immediately. It's almost like the ultrawealthy don't want us knowing or talking about what's at stake.

you must reject societal norms and be a vessel for the grotesque and the horrible

“but people will judge me” good! become unacceptable and frightening to look at

The guy who shot Ronald Reagan has been selling cat paintings on ebay

He has 100% positive feedback

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

and for the love of god, don’t just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, they’ll just hang up

make plausible-sounding reports for things that don’t actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll

So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldn't be deterred by the prank calls because they would 'taper off eventually'. It'd be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. 😇

i scheduled this like a month ago

hi future me :D

god i love little kids, they're like aliens, they're so bizarre.

i hung out with some pre-k kids today and told them my birthday was yesterday and it was absolutely Not Computing to them that i didn't get presents so they were bringing me random shit (pinecone, tiny rock, crust from sandwich, some smushed blades of grass, etc etc) and one kid brought me a handful of sand and as he was holding it out to show me how shiny it was, noticed there was an ant in it, and his instinct for some fucking reason was to lean down and suck in a mouthful of the sand/ant???????? and sent himself into a coughing fit. literally what and why the fuck would anyone do that

He was ready to gift you the sand, but that surprise ant was HIS.

Wow this sucks I'm gonna kill *remembers that suicide jokes only worsen your mental health and that the first step to healing is stopping* you

Best advice I heard for self-harm thoughts angling it towards crime instead. "I want to *** myself" turns into "I want to break traffic cams" etc. Also taking your anger out in positive ways. Feeling self-destructive? Instead look up invasive plant species and stab the sh** out of it

a trans person: actually I'm not binary trans I'm nonbinary

cis clowns, incredibly consistently: SO YOURE DETRANSTIONING?? I TOLD YOU IT WAS A PHASE!!!

nearly every trans person: oh cool you're going ULTRATRANS

Honestly love this. I sometimes feel that enby invalidates my trans-ness.

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

w-what if potato is actually lucky

Potatoes are magical! So many forms, absolute alchemy!

let that sink in....

Off topic to this blog, but I just started venlafaxine and I'm wondering if anyone out there has had good results from taking this medication.

The Tumblr tag and the reddit page are full of posts about how the first week sucks and how the withdrawals are absolutely brutal, and that's on top of all the posts from people who started having nightmares while taking it.

And now I'm nervous lol.

I will start by apologizing that I’ve talked a lot about withdrawals which can be very discouraging to someone newly on venlafaxine and I am sorry that I am replying to a post that you wrote months ago.

I personally cannot blame the venlafaxine for the types of dreams I have. I have experienced nightmares for years, as-well as night terrors. Sometimes it’s a migraine, sometimes it’s stress and sometimes it’s just how my mind is.

I am also really sorry we’ve made you nervous.

It’s helped me stabilize my mood and otherwise than being excessively thirsty or running hot. It’s been a great medication.

Absolutely no worries. I'm really glad that so many folks put their experiences out there because I think it's important to talk about all of them--not just the positive ones.

Since I've been reminded of this post, and I'm still on venlafaxine, this gives me an opportunity to do a bit of an update actually? Especially since I've got an appointment later today to discuss it anyway.

I think it's working fairly well for me? I increased my dose about three months ago, and it has certainly been an improvement.

(I was also diagnosed with ADHD and began treatment for that, along with the venlafaxine. Between the two, it finally feels like I'm on a good combination of meds for the first time in literally years.)

I've had no nightmares. I also haven't experienced any withdrawal like symptoms from occasionally missing doses, even for several days at a time (either from my own forgetfulness or from pharmacy/insurance issues).

The only negative side effect I have really had is stomach aches; I can't take this medication on an empty stomach and it's a little hard to deal with even after eating sometimes.

I am definitely having dry mouth/excessive thirst too...but since I increased the dose of the venlafaxine literally at the same time I started adderall, it's impossible for me to tell which med is causing it, and it could be both. I don't really consider this a big negative though? Because I never drink enough fluids, and especially not enough water. Off meds, I can literally go all day without getting anything to drink and not think about it.

Basically I had nothing to be nervous about this time; and it isn't anyone's fault that I was nervous to begin with, I've just had some less than pleasant experiences with meds in the past.

I was on Ven for several years and helped with intrusive thoughts and horrid temptations. I am rather susceptible to minor side effects, but overall was worth it. Got me hydrated and eating better. For stomach aches and such I found if I drank a big glass of water, ate some breakfast, took the pill and then ate/drank more- it definitely helped. My big issue came when I changed OCD meds and was put on Wellbutrin. Then the more uncommon side effects popped up(like if they both had the same uncommon side effects, it would become a dominant feature.) Even changing both of those for different meds- 6 yrs later I still have remnants of them.

Speaking with my pharmacist really helped, since they were more aware of such interactions than my psych was.

There's no need to ask permission or reach consensus with an arbitrary group of people in order to identify as nonbinary.

Claiming the nonbinary label is something that you do for yourself.

Ask yourself if it applies, because only your opinion matters.

It took a YEARS for me to accept that I don't owe anyone androgyny! Gained weight b/c adding belly fat seemed to make large chesticles more "gender neutral".
