Stuff N' Things

garfield could probably understand the mechanics of driving a car but his legs are too short and stubby to reach the petals. this is also known as "Yoda's Quandry"

Rainbow Extra, Tim O'Brien, 2021

what i say: i’m exhausted

what i mean: my brain has a chemical imbalance which makes it immensely difficult for me to concentrate on sometimes even minor tasks leaving me tired just from trying to keep it all together while trying to function like everyone else

I called the pharmacy about why they haven't filled my t prescription and they literally told me they needed to check on something and then put me on hold and then hung up on me

this is structural transandrophobia btw. this shit wouldn't happen if T weren't a controlled substance. they never do this with my synthroid.

this was in the tags but you know what. the concept of controlled substances is deeply evil and this is your daily reminder. imagine a doctor writing up an official document saying "my patient needs this drug to live and be healthy" and the govt saying "hmmm... but that's a Drug... a Bad Drug......... the patient is probably a junkie, make sure it's as hard as possible for them to get that shit. make sure their meds are regularly interrupted, especially during difficult times in their life like when they lose their job and thus their insurance. make sure they're not Abusing the drug by having easy access to it whenever they need it, make sure their doctor and the pharmacy need to jump through a billion hoops also, things the patient has no real control over and no power to fix if they go wrong."

like imagine thinking that's reasonable

a prescription should be a shopping list your doctor writes for you and then you go to the pharmacy and go "give me this please" and they do. you should be able to just buy drugs. I literally do not care if people abuse that system btw. I should be able to freely access any chemical that I need to put into my body. that should be as accessible to me as food and water. if I am allowed to buy booze and cigarettes why can I not buy my T gel. because some punk in the gym is getting too jacked?? I DON'T CARE

my needs extend into the world. the apparatus that keeps me alive does not end at my skin, is not encompassed only by "my body," but contains the world. just like food and water should be a human right, so should medication. the manufacturers of pharmaceuticals need to be collectivized and their products need to be freely available to all. the War on Drugs is a war on our existence as biochemical beings.

it’s been four years since I last watched through all of Hannibal & I still think about the episode set in West Virginia where they’re literally at the beach. The beach in Grafton WV. A town notably 1,000 feet above sea level & roughly 200 miles from the nearest seawater

Like….was it supposed to be a lake….

is this perhaps what someone at NBC thinks a lake in the Appalachian mountains looks like

ABSOLUTELY YES!!

Similar vibes to The Last of Us showing what is clearly a forest west of the Continental Divide & labelling it "10 miles west of Boston"

Like, ma'am, 10 miles west of Boston is Waltham and it looks like this

PLEEASSE. I tried watching The Devil in Ohio but it was filmed in the BC!!! And I was like ah yes. Ohio’s famous old growth coastal Douglas firs….

I think having a baby niece is great cause my brother will send me just a constant stream of messages that sound indistinguishable from how someone at Jurassic park would text if they were being hunted by the raptor

Get this bastard in the particle accelerator. We need their skills and it'll be enrichment

At the age of 15 people are handed 3 pokeballs labeled "Korea," "China," and "Japan," and then whatever they pick becomes The Good Asian Country while the others become the Bad Asian Countries and it becomes their mission to write the most racist shit imaginable on the internet

"Do you mean write the most racist shit imaginable about the Bad Asian countries while sparing the Good Asian country?" Haha. No.

"What about S/SE Asian countries" Think about who we're talking about here

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

i think people have gotten out of the habit of writing characters being untruthful unless they're evil. sometimes people just lie, or they believe and repeat things that aren't true. people just do not and often Can not tell the absolute truth about themselves all the time even during heated and climactic moments. why are you writing everyone being absolutely honest about their feelings!!

god imagine seeing this happen like every single day
