i hate the fact the term karen went from describing a bitchy entitled customer to basically the modern day equivalent of calling a woman a harpy (misogynistic as fuck) and that people use the term on people out in public who are at the end of their rope emotionally from stress or a shitty day. I get it just because your having a rough time doesn't mean you get to be a dick but sometimes I think people are seriously lacking in empathy and I get it a lot shit the customer might be dealing with isn't your responsibility but like if a customer is struggling with something simple maybe don't be a dick? Just a thought.
#I'm so done with people calling customers with legitimate complaints/concerns Karen#If you messed up someone's order and they ask for a new one then fix it#What if they're on special diet for health reasons#What if they're practicing lent or are Muslim and you give them food that they can't have#What if the customer that's struggling with a simple self checkout has autism or something#People shouldn't have to give out these reasons unless they want to#Also corporations love to make customers out to be idiots and karens when they've seriously fucked up#Like that lady who got McDonald's coffee on her crotch suffered 3rd degree burns and was portrayed as an idiot/greedy#Don't be like that#ableism#misogny#Karen#I'm not kidding when I say it's becoming the modern day equivalent of calling a woman a harpy#Someone breaking down crying and freaking out in public can be annoying but maybe don't record them#Idk as someone with autism if someone recorded me having a meltdown or mocked me I'd be pissed#Even if they aren't mentally unwell no one deserves to bullied when they're at their own limit#Watch somebody call me a Karen for this#Like fight back against dickheads throwing temper tantrums but also don't be a bully#when you hear something about a Karen try and see if they are actually being a Karen or if they're just being put in a bad light#Like did they hit record after a bunch of harassment#cause thats happened

bro high heels are the fucking worst. literal disabling device. truly want to go back in time and shake myself for being dumb enough to wear them for so many years. and for what! my center of gravity is fucked even with stout mobility work—i can’t sit back on my heels! i cannot put a normal amount of weight into my own got damn heels! at only 30! and my squats suffer for it unless i’m wearing a heeled lifting shoe. and my Olympic lifts are that much harder to control. i wish i could tell all young girls DONT FUCKING WEAR THAT SHIT it is STUPID and POINTLESS and not worth your future foot and ankle mobility and your natural movement. and they don’t even look good ffs

Hi! I hate to have to make a post like this, but I am in some need of assistance. I'm a disabled individual living on VERY limited income and most of my income has been going towards moving expenses as I am leaving this current housing situation in two months. I have already spent most of my paycheck on mailing off valuables to my next location. The next step is to get my furbaby the things he needs to travel comfortably with me.
The goal is to have him with me in the cabin to help not only him, but myself too with my anxiety. It's difficult traveling alone as an autistic individual, so my cat is my best bet in keeping cool without turning to opiates as a one day prescription.
Here is the amazon list, if anyone feels like helping.
And here are a couple photos of Steven hard as a rock Stone. He's a very sweet and loving cat. But, I am in a very poor state financially.
My roommate is not the best and has 'forgotten' about the cash I have given her to purchase specific things for the cats in the house. Instead using that money to buy cigarettes.
While I don't feel comfortable talking about too many details, I can comfortably say I live with a hoarder, that I am blamed for things out of my control ( like the bills she should be paying w my rent ), so on and so forth.
I'm incredibly sorry to ask for this help, but my hands are kind of tied. It's been insanely difficult to get out of an abusive situation while being disabled.
#i feel like if i were to go too far in depth with this situation it would be a thesis#i have a couple friends who have been witnesses to the abuse ive gone through#one of the most notable things is me coming home from a trip with friends. showing symptoms of covid-19. then expressing CONCERN that i ma#HAVE covid. being BRUSHED OFF. told im being dramatic. made me take three tests all of which were positive#and then being BLAMED for exposing them since they now couldn't go to a PARTY#bc i was unable to avoid getting covid in public transportation.#i feel like ive gone insane#with how much i get blamed for. for things that are out of my control.#i dont even want to get started on the animal abuse#and the fact that my roommate has a DOG#that she doesnt even care for. hes depressed. he doesnt WANT me. he wants his mom#and not only that the vet tore into her this month because the neglect is showing in his health bright as day

yet another Tumblr policy disagreement ultimately won by the side that collectively has gone outdoors the most
#saw someone posting angrily that they simply refuse to leave their room or talk to people and people can “die mad about it”#baby no one is mad at you for living that way but check back in five years and let us know youre ok please#its been surprising to me that hikikomori hasnt been imported as a concept yet#we have “shut ins” as a cultural idea but its not quite the same#and the recognition of it as a public and individual health concern isnt present

one time i saw a tiktok that said if you’re going to criticize other people’s hygiene habits you should be willing to help them overcome the barriers that prevent them from having what you consider “good hygiene” and i think about that often
#especially the with the way hygiene is connected to disgust which is connected to morality…..#like obviously there are some things like handwashing that are public health concerns.#but some of the stuff people get so angry and outraged about it’s like….#jules.txt

Hi, what exactly did the royal charter excluding the Beaufort family from the throne say?
Hi! So in February 1407, John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset requested that the act legitimatising him and his siblings be confirmed by Letters Patent, which he duly received. At the same time, the royal charter that legitimised the Beauforts was modified by the insertion of the words excepta dignitate regali ("except to royal dignity"). I believe the royal charter is in the Parliament Rolls of Medieval England which I don't have access to but a 19th century historian published a transcription:
Be it remembered, that on Tuesday the fifteenth day of Parliament, the Chancellor, by the King's command, declared how our Holy Father the Pope had, in reverence of the most excellent person of the King, and of his honorable uncle the Duke of Guyenne and of Lancaster, and of his blood, enabled and legitimatized Sir John de Beauford, his brothers and his sister, and that therefore our Lord the King as entire Sovereign of his Realm of England, for the honour of his blood, wills, and hath of his full royal power enabled and of his own proper authority made the said John, his said brothers and sister, muliers, and also pronounced and published the ability and legitimatization according to the form of the King's charter thereof made. The which charter was read in full Parliament and delivered to the said Duke, father of the said John, and his said brothers and sister, the tenor of which charter ensueth. Richard by the grace of God, King of England and France, and Lord of Ireland, to our most dear cousins the noble men, John the Knight, Henry the Clerk, Thomas 'Domicello,' and to our beloved the noble woman Joan Beaufond 'Domicelle,' the most dear relatives of our uncle the noble John Duke of Lancaster, born our lieges, greeting, and the favour of our royal majesty. Whilst internally considering how incessantly and with what honours we are graced by the very useful and sincere affection of our aforesaid uncle, and by the wisdom of his counsel, we think it proper and fit that, for the sake of his merits, and in contemplation of his favors, we should enrich you (who are endowed by nature with great probity and honesty of life and behaviour, and are begotten of royal blood, and by the divine gift are adorned with many virtues,) with the strength of our royal prerogative of favour and grace. Hence it is, that, yielding to the entreaties of our said uncle your father, we do, in the fullness of our royal power and by the assent of Parliament, by the tenor of these presents empower you, who as it is asserted suffer from the want of birthright, (notwithstanding such defect, which, and the qualities thereof, we take to be in these presents sufficiently expressed) to be raised, promoted, elected, assume, and be admitted to all honours, dignities, [except to the royal dignity] pre-eminencies, estates, degrees and offices public and private whatsoever, as well perpetual as temporal, and feodal and noble, by whatsoever names they may be designated, whether they be Duchies, Principalities, Earldoms, Baronies or other fees, and whether they depend or are holden of us mediately or immediately, and to receive, retain, bear, and exercise the same as freely and lawfully as if ye were born in lawful matrimony, and you and every of you do restore and legitimatize : any statutes or customs of our realm of England to the contraiy thereof made or observed (which we consider to be herein fully expressed) in anywise notwithstanding. (Source: Samuel Bentley, Excerpta Historica, Or Illustrations of English History (1831))
Wars of the Roses historians generally credit this addition to Henry IV, historians of Henry IV to Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of Canterbury who was no Beaufort fan and in a powerful position during this time due to Henry IV's illness.
#i suspect the exclusion was prompted by the fact that the beauforts' position in the succession#had not been a consideration in their initial legitimisation#(not saying it wasn't thought about but that richard ii's solution to the succession problem was basically to put his fingers in his ears#and ignore it so he wouldn't necessarily care because as far as he was concerned he wasn't even naming an heir of his own body)#but henry's accession in 1399 probably ensured that it had to be addressed#another consideration is that henry had a health crisis in 1406#which would bring the succession to the fore in the public mind at a time when the lancastrian dynasty was still pretty fragile#and henry's sons were all still in their teens (late teens - but still teens) which might have made their succession seem more fragile#i'm not saying that henry/arundel viewed the beauforts as a threat to the succession of the prince#but that it may have been motivated by a setting out of the succession to avoid confusion#and to avoid alienating others who were of higher rank and precedence or had better claims (for example - edward duke of york)#beauforts#cardinal henry beaufort#john beaufort earl of somerset#thomas beaufort duke of exeter#joan beaufort countess of westmorland#ask#anon

I have a friend who's still highly cautious around covid because she's high risk but she keeps posting all these screenshots of tweets about covid studies on her instagram in an attempt to convince people that covid is still very dangerous
and it's not that covid isn't still potentially dangerous, but one quick google search has allowed me to find every study that she has referenced, and without fail, every single one of them has been working with pre-vaccine, pre-omicron data. the most recent one she's posting about is about cardiac conditions post covid, and wouldn't you know, the entire sample was taken from people who caught covid between march 2020 and january 2021.
this was pre-vaccine, pre-omicron, hell, it was pre-delta variant (remember that one). this was the wild type covid, which our bodies were least immune to. it was the type that was most known to be causing cardiac symptoms and blood clots. besides delta, it was the most deadly. and no one was vaccinated.
so yes, in that group of people, who were unfortunate enough to catch covid during that period, the results of this study are likely very valid- they are at increased risk of heart disease. and that should be talked about and studied more and if those people end up with cardiac symptoms they need to be receiving proper care.
but we should not be assuming, without further study, that these risks are still the same for those who've been vaccinated, or who only caught covid after the omicron variant became dominant (the omicron lineages have been pretty different from the wild type and other pre-omicron variants, so it's worth noting that). like this is a study that must be replicated with a post-vaccine, post-omicron sample before you will even remotely convince me that those cardiac risks are the same as they were before.
and it is driving me crazy that my friend, who is also fucking trained in how to read science, is posting this shit seemingly without looking at the actual papers or thinking about the context at all. like it is driving me absolutely bananas. these posts aren't even like, direct quotes from the papers, they're screenshots of randos on twitter talking about these papers, as if twitter rando knows jack shit about what they're talking about. like it's all well and good to still care about covid but could you at least do it with less of the fear mongering?
#that's what bothers me I think#these posts always have a flavor of 'you should still be just as afraid of this virus as you were in march 2020'#and that's just...not true#that is patently not true#even if you're high risk the situation has changed a bit it's not as dire as it was though you should still be more concerned obvs#like I'm still all for wearing masks in public spaces#especially crowded ones#but the fear mongering has to stop we cannot talk about this like it's 2020 anymore#and the solutions cannot be the 2020 solutions anymore either#like I agree the government just dropped covid like a hot potato and way too quickly but just...why can't we just say that?#I have enough health anxiety I don't need these kinds of studies thrown in my face when they're all backlogged#...that's probably my real issue is that I read this shit and then get sent all into a tizzy because I had covid last summer#only to go and fact check shit and find out that the data isn't even useful or applicable to someone like me#who caught covid after three vaccines and during the BA.5 omicron wave#arguably one of the mildest of the variants#so it's just like#can you not#and there's no fucking filters on instagram

does the polycule have a bedbug containment strategy?
#we’ve got them in our goddamn house couches#and I’m genuinely concerned this could impact the greater citywide queer scene through some roommates#the cule NEEDS to get ahead of public health concerns#is the cule up to date on their flu vaccines?#my room is fine for the record#and if it isn’t it will be once I’m done with it#not afraid to inhale a little boric acid

#tag essay / rant#el rambles#personal#health stuff#nothing against Drs in general (the NHS is an absolute blessing <3) but like look at my record#of never going to the drs for any issues for 25+years#would I be here just for the lols? mayhaps im there bc i feel like sumting is not right with me atm#it's only since feb when i went down hard with The covid and I just haven't bounced back yet#(my friends and office people think its long covid but i refuse to accept that - i will be so pissed if it is)#my main concern is that its impacting my work#and I've managed to push through the last few months by having no life outside of work but thats not sustainable#and also even if it were sustainable - im still exhausted and struggling at work even when im doing nothing outside of work#also like ... if nothing chnges this is still not my optimum/my norm so am i meant to wait for it to get worse?#like regularly loosing consciousness in public?#im thinking maybe go back in a few weeks and be like - TeCHNically nothings changed but this still isnt my norm plz find something#whispers to the void#at least i found some gentle herbal sleeping tablet that have been working for me this past week...#small wins#ty for listening <3

There was a TikTok post about an advertisement for “blood-making pills for weak women” someone found in a newspaper from the 1890s and everybody seemed to think it was just an example of the weird misogyny of the day and age but no. Anemia was a massive public health concern. It always has been through history but part of the reason we have this idea of old timey women thought history being physical weak, chronically cold and pale and fainting is because they often they were. Anemia was also a massive problem for men in that day but even now it disproportionally affects people who menstruate. So tonics full of stimulants and “healthful vitamins” were marketed at young women in pages upon pages of advertisements in every newspaper. People generally felt like shit all the time back then.
