I saw someone call the A³ finale "the woman in the fridge" trope and she "only died to affect Billy" and I am losing my mind

Did we watch the same show??

Yknow, Id really like if we all could recognise that Ozempic is medication. Its life-saving medication. Its misuse by people who do not need it does not make it a fad like weight loss diarrhea teas and starvation diets.

Like most medicines, it helps people with specific medical conditions, and shouldnt be taken by anyone who doesnt fit that description or that need. And no, wanting to lose weight because of societal fatphobia isnt equal to diabetes.

Diabetes also isnt a joke, or a punishment for eating too many sweets, and Id like if we stopped that whole cliche too.

This whole ozempic thing is similar - not identical, similar - to how hard it is for people with adhd to get prescribed and then regularly be able to fulfill their prescriptions for stimulants, because its misused by people wanting to get high off our medication.

Leave medication for people who need it. And when its used recreationally can we not make that shorthand, make it seem normal. Can we stop saying things like "ozempic diet bloggers". Its medication, and the shortage caused by widespread misuse is serious.

If you have counterarguments, tbh I dont actually want to hear them.

i'd truly love to read if there's some sort of like. sociology study on not just de decline of the middle class, but what people are willing to consider middle class. and i don't mean just in the USA.

i just watched a clip of a newscaster/commentator from my country talking about all the "small" sacrifices people will have to make in the upcoming crisis, and she told the anecdote of a middle class family considering doing "one big meal a day" for the kids. and like, even if that anecdote is real, even leaving aside the pure evil of that segment equating cancelling your netflix subscription to eating once a day, trying to normalize this... in what universe is that middle class. how do you say that and not immediately implode.

and worse of all, im sure there were people watching and nodding along.

idk Marx probably predicted it or smth but there's something fascinating about how people will cling to the label of "middle class" in the modern economic climate when upwards mobility feels progressively less attainable. how do we redefine a luxury year after year. how much are you willing to give up for your pride, to the point when your only hope month after month is "not starve and pay rent" but you have a big tv bought with your hard earned cash! so you still believe you're a step away from living comfortably like your parents did.

currently getting twitchy from nolan brainrot so i decided to discuss the fic series with a few friends and uh. i realized they don't take me seriously. please just read the entire fic series. it makes a lot of sense. just take me and my symbolic allegories seriously im begging you. i just want people to talk to that understand who nolan is and what troubles him without you boiling him down into a weepy-voiced killer.

above all else a trans woman is a person. above all else a trans women is a woman who goes to the same grocery store as you and buys fruits in the same grocery cart as you and goes home and eats her dinner the same as you. above all else a trans woman is a woman who dresses like you do and talks the same way you do. above all else a trans woman is a woman who wants to be cared about the same way you want to be cared about and a trans woman is a woman who makes friends the same way you make friends. above all else you should care about trans women because they are people. treat her as such.
