Blogging this tweet because this explains SO MUCH about the mindset of pretty much all the folks I’ve known who’re against single-payer, it’s not even funny…
#hate to burst the bubble but we know#the issue is that they believe switching to universal healthcare won't drop prices#and racist old grandpa John doesn't want to pay for some poc kids 3k broken arm#I'm wording it humorously but seriously Americans don't even want to pay for their own care#thousands of us refuse to go to doctors even for serious problems#so yeah it's hard to make people like that want to 'pay for other people's health care'#the other half are the boot lickers#lots of people are so brainwashed by capitalism that they think these poor wittle healthcare companies deserve all this profit#the itty bitty CEO babies will go out of business if the life saving epi pen didn't cost multiple hundreds of dollars#I'm incredibly close to someone who refuses to back free healthcare and he literally says it's unfair to corporations#so no. we know. we know and we are angry#but we are also powerless unless we can get a unified vote and that's not gonna happen anytime soon#wow this is like the first time I've seen what it feels like for one of my problems to get infantalized#like sure there are some of us who probably don't know but those people are probably all under 20#healthcare#american healthcare#america#american politics#text post

You show up for your first day at Copyright-Free Magic School. As you're going through orientation, you're informed that all new students get a school-assigned familiar that they are responsible for housing and maintaining. The staff member assures you that your assigned familiar is appropriately chosen and reflects you in some way.
Spin this to find out yours. (Remember, you are responsible for maintaining this familiar in your dorm room.)

when dealing with mosquitos do you:
leave them alone and let them hang out around in ur room (normal)
trap them with a cup and a sheet of paper and put them outside (mostly normal)
slap them in the air or on your skin (sure)
hit them while theyre on the wall or a piece of furniture so it leaves a stain (absolutely fucking deranged)
#so funny thing#I was option number 1 for many years#I am so short and it’s so much effort to chance a mosquito that’s going to escape every single attempt#like sure if it landed next to me and I had a newspaper I’d take a swing#but if I missed I’d just give up#but now I have a cat and his life is more valuable than mine#so last night at 12:49 I found a mosquito in my bathroom on the ceiling#que me tying a paper towel to the broom handle and ramming the handle into the ceiling#my boy yelled at me that we would wake our upstairs neighbors (we did)#and then he took over and missed a whole bunch and then finally killed it#I was cold and exhausted and not even fully dressed yet because I had just taken a shower#but murder comes first when it comes to my cats safety#if I had found it in the living room I would probably have let it live#but my cat lives in the bathroom-bedroom-closet area vicinity#so I have no regrets. long live my cat#my boy tried to rationalize with me that in the mosquito vs cat fight the cat would win#and he was very confused that I called my cat ‘a poor unassuming victim’ who ‘would be attacked in his sleep’#text post#mosquito#mosquitoes#insect mention#insect death

@ people who carry bags everywhere what do you put in them what is there to bring other than chapstick, keys, phone and maybe a tampon why are you packing a suitcase to be outside for 5 hours
#too much#a glasses cleaning cloth and sometimes my glasses#a hairclip large enough to hold all my hair up#my wallet of course#my three things of medication#a reusable tissue because saving the environment saves me money too#sometimes a little bottle of handsanitizer#no keys no chapstick and no tampon lol#right now im also carrying medicated handcream since ive been getting hives#and i dont leave the house without a granola bar or similar snack because i get low blood sugar#a roll of dog waste bags because it doesnt take up much space and my boy always runs out#probably 10 receipts i dont need because i didnt throw them out yet#a pair of nailclippers in case i get a hang nail#i should amend that i do carry my keys if i leave the house alone but i do that sooooo rarely#thats about it for my current purse but ill add more things to a larger purse depending on the situation#like if im taking my dog i'll add a collapsible bowl and a bottle of dog shampoo for her and maybe treats#if i go to the beach i'll hold my boys wallet and keys for him#i can fit my water bottle in the bag so i'll smuggle it into places sometimes#so in short largely medical stuff and some dog supplies#but i used to carry around way more stuff including stuff just to give to friends#even the hand sanitizer is more for my boy than for me in case he has to adjust his contact lens#to be clear thats only an emergency situation and its for his hands not the contact lens itself#purse questions#tag games#neo carries too much stuff but she actually needs a lot of it#before i used to also bring an umbrella everywhere lol and also a pen and a tampon and lotion and and and#the tampon is especially funny to me because ive never actually used one of those in my life#text post

I don't know how American middle school works. Secondary education is schooling roughly between 12/13 to ages 17/18, so grades 7/8 to 12 (I think some countries go past 12?)
Idk how other places measure their school year; but a semester is 6 months, and a term is 3 months.
Plz reblog for sample size maybe?
#my USA school allowed 20 unexcused absences#I know I hit 20 because my mom had to sign paperwork excusing a bunch of them#but I was a special case and had reasons to skip school#with the main reason being that I didn’t want to be there yes#but the secondary reasons made it okay#my classmates skipped maybe once or twice a month at most#I skipped any kind of class recreation event and any days when it was inconvenient for my family#I should clarify mine were never mental health days for me and at best were health days for my parents#tumblr polls#poll#american school system#school#school polls

The adhd modes of food
1. You ate that burger so fast. You ate that burger so fucking fast and now the whole Red Robin is staring at you god what the fuck
2. You started eating like a normal person, but then you started talking or daydreaming and now the waitress is handing you the check but you’ve still got half a plate of cold fettuccine
3. You were going to go out to eat, but then you saw a video in your YouTube recommendation that drew you towards it like moth to a flame, and now it’s 10 pm and you’ve got an empty bag of tortilla chips in your hand and shame in your heart
4. Mac And Cheese
#number six and seven got me#I was literally eating ice cream two days ago and near the bottom it hit#It was suddenly the worst food in the whole world and I couldn’t finish it#my friend was a hero and saved me from the food waste but like come on#we also went out to a wings place with a friend and the wings I had were great#they were like a 8/10 but you could not pay me to eat them again oh my gosh#I didn’t finish them so I gave my leftover wings to the friend#and I was like ‘great food! I never want to eat this ever again but I promise it was delicious!’#and I’m so well known for standing in the kitchen thinking all the food is terrible#my boy and I played a little guessing game of it recently where he brought me foods to narrow down the source of hatred#after I said no to Mac and cheese and a sandwich he was like ‘so you don’t want carbs’#and I had to explain that I very much did want carbs I just didn’t want *those* carbs#and no i could not accept anything that wasn’t carbs because that would be too easy#adhd#adhd culture#adhd memes#tw food mention#food mention#food#tw food

Please elaborate in the tags! My personal favorite 'bad' smell is chlorine because it reminds me of summers spent at the pool.
#no sense of smell here#my boy likes the smell of gasoline and smoke though#not cigarette or weed smoke just burning wood smoke#he used a smoker last night and now the house reeks of smoke#it’s driving me crazy but he’s having the time of his life#I should add that I can smell on occasion#so I either can smell the smoke for a brief moment or I just feel the burn of it in my lungs#but I’m notorious for not smelling anything including bad trash smells or bad cat litter smells#I have to bring things to my boy and have him sniff them to see if they smell good or bad#polls#tumblr poll#neo can’t smell properly#but I can smell a gas leak and really what more do I need in life

#boy it’s over 90f here I would KILL for 80F#we have to wait until like 8 at night to walk the dog because that’s when it cools down to the mid to low 80s#we fear leaving our house during mid day. it’s murder outside#I used to think 30f wasn’t very cold but now I am Old and Sensitive#I chose the 30 is cold for the first poll and 80 isn’t hot for the second poll#polls#tumblr poll#weather poll#surprised to see so many Fahrenheit coded answers here no lie

the funniest dynamc between my boyfriend and i is the chef/baker divide runs so deep. experimentally my boyfriend is a genius with figuring out what flavor profiles will not just taste good together but also will be enjoyed by the specific audience he is cooking for. a recipe is not a guidebook so much as a suggestion and he will frankenstein ideas together to get exactly what he wants to happen. he also didnt know that sugar will not work properly if you dont mix it with the wet ingredients in banana bread and when i asked 'why didnt you do it in the order of the recipe' he said 'i didnt really think it mattered'. autistically i exploded his head in my mind
#can confirm#banana bread is fine if you mix it all together#but banana cookies?! enjoy your cardboard if you didn’t mix it right#I didn’t know about the wet dry ingredients thing the first time I made banana cookies#and we literally had to throw them away because the oils all separated and the cookies burned#like they smelled bad they tasted extremely bad they even looked bad#and bread literally doesn’t rise and gets heavy and dense if you so much as reduce the salt content#like it’s not a baker being pretentious it actually runs the food if you go out of order sometimes#some things are forgiving like brownies are pretty forgiving#other baked goods will step on you while you cry#I made a cake without removing the egg yokes and it discolored everything#I didn’t whip the cream in a pastry enough and it was dense and gross#some people haven’t had a dense cinnamon roll before and it shows#I guess a way to think of it is that cooking is usually turning a food into a different food#while baking is turning an ingredient into a food#so the science for baking has to be much more precise#otherwise you turn an ingredient into a slightly worse ingredient when your goal was to make food#food#baking#cooking#cooking va baking#tw food#food mention#tw food mention#like the baking videos where all the dry ingredients are in separate bowls is very extra#but keeping your wet and dry ingredients separate is often a really important step#and calling someone pretentious over it just makes you look ignorant

#okay this list is flawed death note should be on here#how is dungeon Meshi and spy family here but not death note or fairy tail or eBay#so I read death note and started say I love you and soul eater all around the same time#but I was just reading them online so not paid or borrowed really#of those three death note was the undeniable first#and it’s the only one I finished (so far!)#the first one I borrowed was No. 6 from the local library#this excludes the one volume of Naruto shippuden my friend let me borrow#I didn’t actually read that Naruto volume plus it was like mid story#I did read it eventually and it never made sense to me because it was right after the time skip#so yeah top three answers are death note No6 and Naruto shippuden here#it’s like while I’m sure a lot of people did start with spy family it’s going to be a much smaller demographic#people had actual decades to pick up dbz we’ve only had a few years for spy x family#tumblr polls#I grabbed death note because I had a lot of emo friends who were really into death note#and I wanted to feel included in their conversations#polls#tumblr poll#manga#manga poll

the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.
#honestly!!!!#im a ciswomen and I don’t even want other ciswomen in my bathrooms#that is the very nature of bathrooms!! they are gross#give us better stalls where we can’t see each other and then gender won’t even be a question anymore!#my boy was telling me a debate where a masculine presenting trans women made a cis woman uncomfortable#because they were both using the same women’s changing room and the cis didn’t like seeing the trans body#but like? I wouldn’t want to see either of their bodies? why don’t they have stalls?#its 2024 why are we still changing in front of each other#we can all share bathrooms and changing rooms just give us more privacy in them my gosh#I don’t care if a man changes next to me as long as we don’t see each other#so why the hell do people care if a trans woman changes next to a cis woman#my boy accidentally changed in one of the girls changing rooms once#it was mostly my fault because as a girl I lead him right to the girls changing area without thinking and there were no signs there#but like he went into a stall and shut the door. so no one even noticed. no one cared#oops just realized my phone is changing ’woman’ to ‘women’#anyway I want people to hit the root of the problem: bathrooms are gross and need to be redesigned#a trans person in the bathroom is not the problem here. cis girls bullying each other in bathrooms is a problem#we all saw carrie and honestly that alone should have gotten rid of the weird ‘bathrooms are public safe spaces’ idea#in America most women take a weapon to the bathroom out of fear of being kidnapped on the way to the bathroom#but please keep telling me how the bathroom is a safe space for little girls#text post#transphobia#it’s occurring to me I didn’t tag my last rb as transphobia but I also ran out of tags on that post#bathroom discourse#bathroom debate#it shouldn’t be a debate this is so dumb#men don’t even like using urinals next to each other like come on

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.
"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.
"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.
"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.
#the biggest flaw with these arguments is peoples weak grasp on extremities#they jumped right to pedo specifically because it’s the ickiest extremity they could think of#and it’s an effective one because it stresses a lot of people out for various reasons#I personally love to hit people with extremities in arguments because it’s the fastest way to get a point across#it’s just sad that these people are using it to shut down an entire very important conversation#the Florida school system is such a great example of why this is important#if it mentions anything about slavery including the fact that slavery is bad it gets banned here#they call it critical race theory and blanket ban it#it was hilarious at a point because they accidentally banned the Christian Bible from schools here#they quickly realized and unbanned it of course but like that’s what censorship does#there’s mentions of rape and violence in USAs favorite Bible? time to ban it#now of course the Christian Bible got unbanned but would a different religious material be unbanned? probably not#just like that. over night. your whole religion banned from the entire states school system#books about pedo make you uncomfortable and honestly they should#but a little girl was able to explain to her mom that her dad was sexual assaulting her#she realizes because she picked up a book on it from the library and read it#without that book that child wouldn’t have had the language to explain her situation#if we never tell children these things are bad and we don’t give them names what happens?#they get abused. they have no language to defend themselves#a lot of times they don’t even know something bad is happening to them because it’s a trusted adult doing it#we need books that make us uncomfortable. we need books that gives us new world views#reading how awful something is teaches us empathy for people who have suffered those awful things#climbing mt Everest sounded great until a book came out detailing the atrocities of it all. it’s knowledge. it’s needed#the book lady chattaley was banned so long the author died before it was ever officially released. THAT is censorship#that is what will happen if we start censoring things again. it won’t be just pedo books. it will be everything#anti censorship#media analysis#media criticism#tw rape mention#tw pedophila mention

#I said clone my boy said robot#he kinda took the last stance that he should have known he was a robot#my stance was the implication of my creation#robot? okay so I’m the next advancement of society?#clone? what purpose does that bring. why did you need a clone#was my host special? is this a fetish? did my host consent to being cloned?#how many other duplicates of me are there and what are you doing to them?#I admit in the world of emerging scary ai development I wouldn’t want to be a robot but#at least I could understand instantly why I was made#polls#tumblr poll#robot vs clone#hypothetical cloning#there’s a whole ethics thing on the cloning of humans I won’t even get into

What order do you take pills in?
#so yes you shotgun em all at once#but!! the actual reason I chose a secret fifth option is because#one of my meds comes in the foil and gets popped out one at a time#but the other is in a pill jar with like 50 of the suckers#because it’s much harder to fish out one single pill from the jar and deal with the safety lock#I get that pill first#then I hold it the whole time until the second pill is ready#at which point I take them together#for more clarity the more important pill is in the easier foil packaging#so I’m doing the exact opposite of most important pills first. I’m doing them last#it’s all about the ease of opening#I only take two regularly but when I’ve taken more than two#I would take abnormally large pills by themselves if I had too many pills to take all at once#whether i took the large ones first or second depended on the ease of opening the package#meds#medication#polls#pills#tumblr poll#medication pill#ways of doing things
