Using the bathroom in general is a human right and should be enshrined as such and I’m not joking. Too many groups of people are denied bathroom breaks or the use of bathrooms entirely–disabled people, blue-collar workers, children, homeless people, prisoners, students, the elderly. I’m surely missing other groups. Not using the bathroom when needed can cause serious, long-term damage, not to mention death. Free, clean, accessible bathrooms should be available everywhere. It’s fucking cruel to deny someone the use of the bathroom, regardless of the reasoning. I’d rather every student in the world goof off and every homeless person make a mess and every worker “steal company time” than let one person suffer because they’re denied the right to fucking pee in peace.
Since the TERFS have found this post, I want to be explicitly clear:
THIS POST INCLUDES TRANS PEOPLE.
In fact, it was an egregious mistake of mine to not explicitly include trans people in my original post. Trans people are whatever gender that they say and they especially deserve access to clean, safe bathrooms. TERFS are exactly some of the fuckwads that I’m against in this post: you shitty bastards will harass people in bathrooms and pass laws denying trans people their basic rights to use the bathroom in peace and then whine that people rightfully see you as cruel.
the story of kfc fucks me up man. the colonel founded this gas station that expanded to restaurant, the chicken at the restaurant gets popular, makes KFC, it gets big and he sells it to a corporation for a lot of money. realizes he got sorta scammed out of the true worth of kfc so tries to get more money and they refuse and the courts side against him. then he starts a new chicken restaurant claiming the corporate people were not making chicken to his standards and kfc sued him because kfc owned the colonel’s likeness and the courts agreed. a corporation owned this man’s name and appearance. he wasnt allowed to use either, thus legally erasing his reputation making it harder for him to get taken seriously in any food venture. the man, to the day he died, was going into kfc’s and throwing fits because the food had fallen into such bad shape he hated it was associated with him. and it’s like, whether he’s a bad man or a good man or whatever, a corporation owned hisidentity, stopped him from using his reputation and identity in other businesses, and refused to acknowledge his outrage that they changed his recipes and still attributed it to him. this is literally the obnoxious plot of a jay and silent bob movie, but it was this dude’s real life. what the fuck.
It is 1880s America, you are about to spawn as a Historically Significant White Guy. Choose a class:
TROUBLEMAKING FRONTIER PREACHER
Special Power: Good Christian. Your vague adherence to American protestantism will ensure that law enforcement does not bother you whatsoever.
Victory condition: Fuck enough of your followers wives to start an inbred theofascist micronation.
MANICALLY AMBITIOUS CON ARTIST
Special Power: Basic Literacy. You’re poor, but you know how to read. They’ll never expect it. You may forge literally any document and it will be believed 100% of the time.
Victory Condition: Steal enough money to fuck off to Latin America. A Spanish speaking nation might as well be the moon to your debtors.
EUROPEAN NOBLE FAILSON
Special Power: Colonial Wealth. Your funny accent, foppish dress, and noble title, will make any American think you are totally good to buy it on credit.
Victory Condition: Become the boytoy to the wife of some borderline-gangster politician and save up enough political capital to run for office and get addicted to opium.
DOOMED FRONTIER EXPLORER
Special Power:How The Fuck Are You Alive. Your freakish diet of pork, whiskey, and maple syrup, makes you entirely immune to all physical injury and disease. Somehow.
Victory Condition: You have one mission, and one mission only. You need to piss off some completely friendly natives. You need to piss them off so bad they leave your stupid ass to starve in a food forest they’ve been cultivating for literally thousands of years.
If the internet wasn’t anonymous anymore i would stop writing/posting fic and a part of my soul would die. I don’t want to post fic under my real name i don’t wish to be perceived i wish to be known on an incredibly deep level without something superficial like my name attached. Writing fic is like stripping naked but leaving your face out of the shot
I think it just dawned on me that a lot of people think the “mummy” part in my url is referring to like. A Mother. A mother who is lame. But what I meant by “mummy” was simply a the sort of Halloween monster rendering of a preserved corpse wrapped in bandages!!!
I entended my URL to be sort of a reversal of “CoolSkeleton95”, Papyrus’ Undernet Username in Undertale. So I just sort of picked another common Halloween type monster.
I’m not sure why I chose mummy. Maybe because I love learning about Ancient Egypt and have since I was little. I just didn’t want to pick ghost because there are already ghosts in undertale. Plus “LameGhost59” just kinda sounded weird I guess.
anyway thank you for listening to my silly rant about my URL :D !!! I might pin this just to make this more known, I’m not sure.
here’s to black trans women with anger issues. here’s to black trans women who get misgendered for being “too loud” or “too aggressive”. here’s to black trans women who are stereotyped as angry and aggressive just by virtue of being black even when you are calm. here’s to black trans women who are viewed as “angry” for being loud. here’s to black trans women who struggle with controlling the volume of their voice due to neurodivergence, trauma or otherwise, here’s to black trans women who are traumatized and struggle to regulate their emotions. here’s to black trans women who become irritable, agitated, and annoyed easily due to neurodivergence and/or trauma. here’s to black trans women with violent intrusive thoughts and impulses. here’s to black trans women with personality disorders who are treated like assholes and monsters.
here’s to black trans women with psychotic disorders who react to delusions and hallucinations and “scare” people. here’s to mentally ill black trans women who are seen as “scary”. here’s to black trans women who snap and yell when reacting to abuse and get abused further. here’s to black trans women who get misgendered when they defend themselves. here’s to mixed black trans women who become furious when having their racial background challenged. here’s to black trans women who are jaded, disenfranchised, bitter, hurt, and spiteful from dealing with racism & transmisogynoir.
you’re not a bad person, by any stretch of the imagination. you have dealt with brutal mistreatment in a white transmisogynistic society and you are tired. you are dealing with constant abuse, and it’s okay if you are angry and bitter about it. it’s okay to be mentally ill, neurodivergent and traumatized as a black trans woman. you don’t deserve further mistreatment while you are attempting to cope with and adjust to a society that refuses to accommodate you.
You’re teleported to 44 BCE Rome in your everyday street clothes. You’re brought before Caesar and he believes you might be from the future, hoping to bring him fortune. One day he questions you, asking “How Do I Die?”

[ID: Tweet by Panic! At The TL @/Puff_Iya: Okay I’m having a debate: If someone says theyre going to show up “around 7” but get there at 7:20, is that still considered around 7?? /End ID]
It *is* genuinely great! So this is from October of ‘23! As of my reading this, it’s now January 11 of '24. I think I’m around the 1,000th note on it though, which is and is not startling.
Were this a “golf courses have killed ______ species” or a “you’re going to die 10 years sooner because of golf courses” piece, getting 1,000 notes would be a two-day affair.
I genuinely believe that at this time in our existence there is a moral obligation to share news about positive actions, and all the things people are doing to combat extinction at every level. There are so many things. Despair breeds inaction, and that’s simply not an option.
Rewilding is *amazing* and very much an option for lots of areas. And YES it’s happening.
Oh, this is good! Very good! Must look into this organization more to see what else they might have.
Earthquake Country Alliance is fantastic! I use this image all the time in my classes as an example of efficacy and accessibility in disaster info. They helped create the Great Shakeout drill as well!
Anyways. Y'all keep forgetting that Cuddy hired and repeatedly refused to fire malpractice Georg entirely on purpose. In order to keep her hospital on the map. In order to secure better funding and more research opportunities. She lies under oath, she threatens employees, (not just House!) she fucking. Schemes. She’s nuts! She sees a complete disaster of a guy who cannot be trusted to care for himself much less vulnerable patients, who absolutely no one else will hire, and she goes. Yeah I think I can keep him under control. I think I can harness that for my benefit. And she mostly succeeds!!! House, who’s never met an authority figure he didn’t hate. She keeps him complacent with regular doses of petty arguments so he thinks he’s fighting the man, but literally he is exactly where she wants him most of the time. Yeah House might be a feral animal, but that makes Cuddy the kind of person who keeps wild animals as pets. She’s like oh yeah this is my pet tiger. When he’s feeling grumpy I distract him with raw steak that I throw across the room. He thinks it’s a game. Sometimes he tries to bite me lol.
I don’t even go here, but by referring to House as “malpractice Georg” OP has opened my eyes to a whole new realm of pithy insult possibilities.
you cant fucking hurt me bitch im protected by the migratory bird act
Please, I just want to know what your migratory flight path is, I promise I’ll release you after I give you this bracelet that will insanely up your game with the ladies
bitches love me for my bright and colourful leg band
What if there was an apocalypse but some people were really really in denial and optimistic and thinking everything will be back to normal soon?
Like they’d be foraging through the ruins of New York for supplies, shooting raiders in the face and saying “Man, this recession is really bad, huh?”
Umm….
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
this post, plus that satire one about the increasingly ridiculous callout culture that slowly became more and more accurate
this one
was anything going on in 2017??? did everyone randomly have prophetic visions????????
Another one from 2017 by @nullsynth
the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
turns out we had the 2020 vision after all
“the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls” is actually a really fucking metal quote and i will be using it in the future
@handoverthehands it’s from Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. Referenced as well in Spirit of the Radio by Rush and again in Disturbed’s cover of the original.
And that in itself was a reference to the Book of Daniel from the bible, when the words of the prophet were written on the Babylonian palace walls.
In the real world, it’s not the kings and people in power who see the signs of doom, but the poor people in the subway, helpless to stop it.
A Palestinian boy and a Black autistic boy were killed today. Both children, both were killed by white supremacist institutions in illegitimate settler colonies that regard their people as either only worth exploiting or worth exterminating.
“Anger is an acceptable form of grief. You don’t have to make your emotions palatable to those who are unmoved. Rage isn’t the curse, apathy is.
In the absence of relief, our collective conscience can atrophy. You begin to believe this is the way it has to be. Resist. Dehumanization of the suffering is by design, but it is not an inevitable one.”

I remember seeing a post a couple months back of someone talking about printer troubles and companies making them bad deliberately, like pointlessly different screw sizes and a lying no-usb-compatibility sticker
If someone knows it please tell me, I’m pretty sure I remember it had good resources on a youtube channel that teaches you how to fix stuff!
