a lot of yall wanna be leftists until you have to treat drug addicts and the homeless like theyre human beings deserving of dignity and respect

and no, forced rehab is not treating drug addicts with dignity and respect (and also doesnt help them), and the majority of homeless shelters take away so much of your personal autonomy that it causes many people to “choose” to remain unhoused. hope that helps.

Y'all ever open a book on a new subject, read a little bit, and have to put it back so you can process the way in which your mind was just expanded?

The textile book: okay here is some of the ways that textiles are important to human life

me: Okay!

The textile book: Clothes separate the vulnerable human body from the conditions of the outside world, and in doing so absorb the sweat and debris of human existence, accumulating wear and tear according to the lives we live. In this way, various lifestyles and professions are represented by clothing, and the clothing of a loved one retains the imprint of their physical body and their life being lived, as though the clothes absorb part of the wearer’s soul

Me: …oh

The textile book: The process of weaving a garment and the process of a child being formed in its mother’s womb are often referred to using the same language. Likewise, when a baby is born, a blanket or other textile material is the first material object it encounters and protects it. Textiles can create the idea of two things being inextricable, as with being “woven together,” or can create the sense of separateness, as with a curtain or veil that separates two rooms or spaces, even separating the living from the dead, or separating two realities, such as a performance ending when the curtain falls

Me: …oh God

The textile book: Odysseus’s wife Penelope undid her weaving in secret every night to delay the advances of her suitors. In this way she was able to turn back the passage of time to allow her husband to come home. Likewise the Lakota tell a story of an old woman embroidering time by embroidering a robe with porcupine quills. If she finishes the embroidery, the world will come to an end, but her faithful dog pulls out the quills whenever her back is turned, turning back the clock and allowing existence to continue.

me: …is…is…is that why we refer to the fabric of space and time?

The textile book: The technological revolution of textile making is sadly underappreciated. The textile arts are possibly the most fundamental human technology, as once people created string and rope, they could create nets for catching fish and small animals, and bags and baskets for carrying food. In the earliest prehistoric times, the first string or cord perhaps came from sinew, found in the body of an animal. Because of this perhaps the body of a living being could be understood as made of a textile material. Indeed textiles have the function of preserving life, as with a surgeon stitching back together the human body or bandages being placed on a wound. Textile technologies are being used to create life-changing implants to restore function to injured parts of the body, as though a muscle or tendon can be woven and made in this way. Cloth can be used to create a parachute that will save a human’s life as they plummet out of the sky. Ultimately, the textile technologies are used to enter new parts of the universe.

happy smallpox eradication day to all who celebrate, which is everyone!

“On December 9, 1979, the disease was confirmed to have been eradicated, with the World Health Assembly making the declaration official five months later.”

“On May 8, 1980, more than two years after the last known case, the World Health Assembly formally declared the world free of smallpox.”

celebrate twice!

For context, this is called desensitizing

Since horses are prey animals they are very cautious naturally and will “spook” (shy away or take off running) from something that looks strange and potentially dangerous.

By running around and acting bizarre, the horse gets used to unfamiliar movements and mannerisms. They’ll be able to sit and think “wow that’s fucking weird” when they see a human crawling up rather than “Jesus fuck it’s possessed run away”- which is good!

Weirdest day of that horses life

Police may also feign kettles in order to cause a protest to disperse.

Protests that move quickly are harder to kettle (but are easier to split up as people get left behind).

Something important to note is that kettles are used by police to gather intelligence. Police may tell you that you will be allowed to leave if you provide your name and your address, if you give information about other protestors etc. Police can and will lie to you, do not trust them. Never talk to cops.

Being trapped in a kettle is stressful. Police may decide to arrest a few of you or all of you. Their goal is to gather information and to demoralize you. They might threaten or harass you. Your goal is to remain calm and to help the people around you remain calm. Remember if nobody talks, everyone walks.

I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping

ok sometimes posts like this are frustrating even tho they’re well meaning! it is REALLY HARD to kick a nicotine addiction, and saying “just stop bc it’s bad for you” is sometimes not helpful. here are some strategies that have worked for me and my friends to help you get started:

• LOLLIPOPS OR A WATER BOTTLE WITH A STRAW!!! the oral fixation is real and these will help. keep these with you especially in triggering spots (if you always vape when you drive, keep some in your car)
• if possible, use lower percentage pods (3% instead of 5 or 6%) for a week before you quit to help curb some physical effects when you do quit
• pick a time when you have a few days where you won’t be around people who you know vape, whether that’s friends or fam
• sunflower seeds sometimes help when your craving, or sour candy
• make a list to look at of all the reasons that you’re quitting that will be positive effects of quitting RIGHT AWAY. lung cancer should be a deterrent but sometimes if you don’t feel the immediate payoff it’s not helpful when cravings are bad. ex of reasons: vaping is giving u bad teeth, bad breath, bad skin, headaches and nausea, isolating you from people you love, fucking your sleep schedule up, making you anxious, making it harder to complete physical activity, PREVENTING SAVING MONEY, etc
• these won’t help everyone but it’s helped me a lot

Remember! shame doesn’t help people quit physical addictions and if you make a mistake you can always keep trying. quitting is a process and takes time, but it’s SO worth it in the long run <3

‘Greedflation’ study finds many companies were lying to you about inflation

“Profits for companies in some of the world’s largest economies rose by 30% between 2019 and 2022, significantly outpacing inflation, according to the group’s research of 1,350 firms across the U.S., the U.K., Europe, Brazil, and South Africa.”

I was gonna make a sarcastic comment, but then I remembered studies are there to provide concrete evidence of common knowledge. And thank you for the word “greedflation”

You’ll find a lot of what we’re told are market forces out of companies’ control is complete lies. In reality their decisions are a voluntary result of cost-benefit analysis and not the invisible hand of the market. Like how companies say they “have to” lower wages or raise product prices.

Me for the last 15 years: Starting a timer when you have to wait for something or stand in line can be helpful, because no matter how impatient you feel you can check the timer and remind yourself it has not been several eternities and has in fact only been five minutes.

Me setting a timer when I got to bag claim just now: I’m so clever! I will now be reminded that it’s only been five minutes and bag claim usually takes about twenty!

Me looking at the timer thoughtfully: …another Very Neurotypical Moment With Sam, it appears.

FTR it was 17 minutes from “arriving at the bag claim” to claiming my bag, so right on time.

Someone tagged this post “#it’s all fun n games until baggage check takes over an hour” which is 100% legit; a common sentiment in notes is that sometimes you don’t want to know how long something has taken. But that is one of the reasons I started doing the stopwatch thing in the first place!

On the one hand, timing something is about reminding myself “No, it’s only been five minutes,” but it is ALSO about knowing when something is taking way longer than it should.

If I’m put into an exam room in a doctor’s office, I start a timer. Because I have been forgotten about in a doctor’s office before, I get nervous that I’ll just be sat in there forever, and the timer tells me “No, they haven’t forgotten you, it’s only been 10 minutes.” But it also tells me if I have been there longer than appropriate (generally more than 40 minutes) so that I know when it’s justifiable to flag down a nurse to find out what’s going on.

At bag claim, because I know it usually takes about 20 minutes to get my bag, I don’t get concerned until the timer passes the 20 minute mark without any bags appearing. At that point I know I need to take off my headphones and start paying attention – looking at signage, maybe asking someone if I’m at the right carousel. Maybe don’t worry yet, but start double-checking. Perhaps the delay is unavoidable and it’ll just be an hour, but at least, having asked, I KNOW it’ll be an hour, and the timer will tell me when the hour is past and I should maybe check in again.

Now, if the bags do start showing up before 20 minutes but my bag hasn’t shown up by the 40 minute mark, I know that again it’s time to put my head on a swivel, and at the 50 minute mark it’s time to go speak to someone in the baggage claim office. This has more than once helped me locate my bag when it’s accidentally been sent to the wrong part of the airport. There is no point at which, without the timer, I would go “man this is taking a long time” and then actually go ask, because I wouldn’t actually know how long it had been.

The timer both prevents me from worrying before I need to and tells me when to start worrying – essentially, because I’m both perpetually impatient and also infinitely patient, I’ve outsourced my patience to a stopwatch. And because I time a lot of things, I now know the average time a lot of things take, which helps me calibrate my concerns appropriately. Ten minutes is a long time to wait for a burger from McDonalds, but it’s actually on the short end of the time it takes to get a burger from Shake Shack. It’s not a long time to be on hold with the HR office of my old employer, but it’s longer than I’d usually be on hold with my pharmacy. Et cetera.

I know I say this all the time but I still find it hilarious that I didn’t know I had ADHD until I was forty years old.

“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

I didn’t know about zeugmas until just now! That is so awesome, everybody: 

zeug·ma ˈzo͞oɡmə/

noun

1. a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last week ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g., with weeping eyes and hearts ).

ISN’T THAT AWESOME??

#in english class in high school my teacher had us write our own zeugmas in class#and one guy came up with ‘he fell from her favor… and the window’#i am forever looking for opportunities to use that one

She dropped her dress and inhibitions at the door.

What’s this? My favorite rhetorical device showing up on my dashboard?
