relatedly: IF SPOTIFY MAKES ADS UNSKIPPABLE LIKE YOUTUBE I WILL BECOME THE JOKER

I hate all ads but there’s a special hatred in my heart for the casino/better help/fix women’s sex drive drug/move to Ohio/more gambling combo

when a podcast has a patreon but ad-free episodes aren't one of the perks it's like. c'mon man. what are we even doing here.

A man in a wheelchair rolls into a liberal bar. He starts to order a drink, but another customer grabs the handles of his wheelchair, turns him around, and gives him a hard push in the other direction to get him out of the way and order a drink themselves.

The man in the wheelchair turns around and yells “Hey, what’s wrong with you?! Are you crazy?!”

The man in the wheelchair is asked to leave. Ableism isn’t tolerated here.

The Silt Verses is one of my all time favorite works of fiction but it is impossible to recommend to anyone. "Yeah you should listen to this podcast. No not that kind of podcast. Think like an audio book but with a full cast and action scenes and stuff. What's it about? Um well it's complicated. Gods are real and they are worshipped with human sacrifice but the sacrifices don't exactly die become grotesque semi human vessels. Yeah and the economy is built on this human sacrifice. It's a metaphor for capitalism. Don't worry if you don't get it it's kind of slow burn you'll figure it out. Oh and the whole first season kind of sounds like shit. Where are you going?"

The other key thing is that they’re standing in very expensive kitchens that they themselves do not fully own half of, because being a good submissive wife means letting your husband handle all the finances. These women are exceptions in a way, because they can actually make a fair amount of money being influencers, but I’ll willing to bet it’s not all in their name.

Basically, they’re selling not just the idea of being rich (single income family with enough leisure time to do things like make your own bread in a huge kitchen) — they’re selling the idea of being financially abused by a rich man, because they’ll never be equal partners financially with the same ability to leave the relationship.

I had a dream there was a home decorating tip that was like “put something beautiful in your entryway so the first thing you see on entering your home is beauty” and this was called a “hala” and it became a meme where everyone was posting the weirdest objects they could find like “this is my hala”

I just think it’s crazy how we’re so critical of women in STEM. you drill ONE hole in reality and release Evil and then suddenly people are cancelling you

also i have noticed that ppl just do not actually know the rules of the road. yeah they know to stop at stop signs and red lights but they don’t know how to zipper merge or that when the light turns green everyone is supposed to take their foot off the brake and move forward, and shit like that makes traffic a billion times worse. why am i sitting at a dead stop on the highway five miles from where the lanes are merging bc everyone decided to be in one lane instead of three. why am i stuck at a red light for ten mins bc only three cars can get through the green light bc it takes one car three business days to get through the intersection after the light turns green.

Y'all can say what you want about Elhokar but it takes balls to walk up to the gates of your occupied home city in full drag. This guy grew up in a ridiculously gendered society and was intended for THE most socially masculine role within it. His role models for manhood were the literal Blackthorn and Gavilar (who we also know was emotionally abusive). We know Elhokar is deeply insecure about not living up to those expectations, it's pretty much his whole Thing in WoK and WoR. He knows he's too weak for Alethi kingship and nobody takes him seriously. He practically begged Kaladin to teach him how to be a man. He daydreamed about returning to Kholinar a hero and a king and instead he got to return to it dressed up as a woman, which probably would have made Gavilar turn in his grave. And he did it without a single complaint because the mission required it!! And yes we can and should talk about the inherent queerness of that scene (Shallan saying that Elhokar would be most convincing as a woman because he has gay body language "a regal bearing", the way Elhokar took to the part so naturally, etc). But also we should just acknowledge that it was extremely fucking brave of him!!! Can you imagine the amount of internalized misogyny and homophobia that he probably had to fight in order to do that!! It's such a powerful moment of standing up against everything he was taught he should be, and stepping out of Gavilar's shadow. Elhokar's redemption arc is deeply tied to gender nonconformity. In this essay I will

I’m filling out a GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) survey for my clinic as part of my reassessment and I’ve just been laughing bleakly at the questions like:

Buddy, even if I didn’t have a mast cell disorder where stress can induce anaphylaxis, this isn’t even generalized anxiety anymore, this is just being Aware of current events in 2024.

“Do you think your anxiety is reasonable?”

Are you not paying attention??? Fucking yes!!
