Bro I fucking love the DB Cooper case nothing about this whole situation sounds real. None of the passengers on the plane realized they were being hijacked until the plane landed two hours after it was supposed to and the fbi showed up with suitcases full of money. The note about the bomb almost went unnoticed because the flight attendant thought she was being sexually harassed so she didn’t read it. One of the main suspects was the first trans woman in Washington to have a sex change operation. A reporter who was so dead set on his suspect that he brought him to court was so upset about being wrong that he went catatonic and was treated with electroshock therapy and it WORKED. There’s been multiple “I’m DB Cooper” death confessions. He never even SAID his name was DB Cooper. Either he got away with a million bucks in today’s money and the most iconic and harmless crime American history or he impaled himself on a pine tree while falling a zillion miles an hour in the dark while clutching duffel bags full of cash and either option is equally hilarious. He wore a clip on tie. He committed an act of sky piracy. What in the fucking looney toons
some SICK FUCK just responded to a FIVE YEAR OLD COMMENT I left on a Hamilton animatic to say “I don’t actually care about this comment, I just wanted to remind you you had a Hamilton phase 5 years ago”. What kind of MALICIOUS,
fun fact: the identities of the “beneficial owners” of all publicly traded companies incorporated in the USA are considered public records and you can look them up on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website
it takes a little digging but if you put the company’s name into the “search filings” box and then restrict to “insider equity awards, transactions, and ownership” and then go through all the forms you can put together a complete list

in the vein of “how do you stay safe from getting sick”, I wanna say that something I always noticed as a kid was that a lot of the time when I went to people’s houses and we would leave at some point to the mall or the park or something and then come back home…I don’t remember any of them washing their hands when we got back inside. they’d just immediately lead me back to their room or the living room or something, and then I’d feel incredibly self-conscious about going to their bathroom to wash my own hands. and I always thought it was absolutely bizarre because the way I was raised, the first thing you do when you come back home after taking your shoes and jacket off is go wash your hands. it’s common sense. why on planet earth would you not wash your hands. you’ve just been touching a hundred public surfaces that could have anything on them and you think as soon as you set foot in your own house all the germs you’ve picked up just evaporate? it’s absolutely insane to me to know that so many people don’t bother washing their hands. WASH YOUR HANDS.
the amount of people tagging this with variations of “wow I never thought to do this” is actually making me want to scream please for the love of GOD practice proper hygiene
so my brother was telling me about this human resources certification he attended a while ago. in a panel, the panelist asked a bunch of people in attendance, “who here knows if an applicant for a job is right for it in under 60 seconds?”
hands shot up around the room, people smug about their ability to “weed out the riff-raff” when it came to hiring for their fortune 500.
“you should all be fired and probably in jail,” they said, waiting for the whole room to get uncomfortable, then continued, “because the only things you can really learn about a human being in under 60 seconds are all things that are fueled by prejudices and biases covered by american law. so now, i will teach you how to stop being racist, sexist, judgmental assholes and hire people that will better your company of employ.”
hey in case you didn’t know trans inclusive terminology in healthcare is not about protecting peoples feelings, it’s to stop insurance companies from going “well it says here that hysterectomies are a procedure performed on WOMEN and you keep insisting that you’re a MAN so we do not in fact have to cover that have a nice day and eat shit”
to add for cis ppl: anything that is designed to hurt trans people will trickle down and hurt any cis person dealing with anything in your body with gender. want a breast reduction for back aches? well that’s a little trans isn’t it? have a family history of breast cancer and want those time bombs gone? have no kids or don’t want anymore? tubes tying or vasectomy? broke your nose and have trouble breathing? need hormone replacement therapy? “idk” says the insurance company and gov, “might be a little trans.”
caring about others is a way to care about yourself as anything used against the other will knock on your door eventually.

it must suck to do an assassination and have everyone cheering you on and hyping you up cuz you can’t tell anyone you did it. you have to keep that information to yourself.
I like stories where a normal human child is being raised by a sinister supernatural being who is totally malevolent except when it comes to their kid. Those are so much better than the “kids are scary” changeling type horror movies.
Like a perfectly well-adjusted well-mannered friendly child that is like “This is my dad, Surazal. He comes out of the mirrors in dark rooms. He makes really good blood pudding but he’s bad at playing catch. Most people can’t see his corporal form but I can because he says I have special eyes.”
“Mom says that you can stay over but you have to promise not to leave my room between midnight and 1 am. You can play Mario Cart with me! But you have to knock on every closed door in the house before entering just because dad might be in there and if you look upon his visage without drinking the holy fruit juice, you might go crazy or something. Also dad is really excited I have a new friend and he’s going to to make hardtack and mystery stew for us! You’ll love it!”
In high school the kid gets a friend that is an amateur demonologist who initially befriends them in hopes of exorcizing their house but ends up becoming buddies with Surazal too because they crave parental affection.
Surazal stands at the end of the vast dark hallway and says “You Too Have Special Eyes, Little One. You Can See Me Without Being Taken By The Madness. Within You, I Sense Great Turmoil And Sadness. In My Younger Years, I Would Have Exploited The Sadness As Weakness In Your Very Soul. I Would Have Worn Your Skin Like A Mask And Run Through The Village Streets, Supping Blood From Every Man I Encountered. But Now I Have No Use For Woe. Perhaps You Would Like To Watch Beetlejuice In The Family Room With My Daughter While I Prepare Cupcakes. I Am Sensing You Have A Fondness for Red Velvet.”
“lying is wrong” what evangelical nonsense is this???
listen to me. lying is morally neutral. and for many people in shitty situations it’s a survival tactic.
lying in order to cause harm is often wrong, because causing harm is generally wrong. lying is also done for a myriad of other reasons, including because it isn’t safe to speak truth, or because privacy is a thing and damn what an incredibly invasive question to ask in the first place.
truth is earned, my friend.
also, sometimes lying is funny. sometimes it saves time. sometimes it’s easier, sometimes it accomplishes a goal, sometimes the truth is nobody’s business, or is tricky to articulate, or you don’t know what the truth is but are expected to have an answer regardless. sometimes you just straight up want people to stop bothering you. sometimes lying is an experiment to see how much you can get away with. sometimes you just want to be a little mean, yeah.
and in none of these situations is lying automatically “right” or “wrong” it is simply a tool that people will use, and that you will have to make your own decisions about based on situation and context.
climb out of the dark pit of assigning moral values to neutral behaviors. that’s puritan thinking that’s got its greedy fangs in you, rip ‘em out by the root
if u feel the first cramp and think “i dont need a painkiller yet, itll pass” ? that the devil speaking, take that painkiller immediately
It’s a lot easier to prevent cramps from getting bad than to stop them once they already are. Take the medicine sooner and use the heating pad sooner rather than later.
This is true of pain medication for ANY condition. My mom drilled this into me back when she worked as an O.R. nurse: Do not wait until the pain is bad. If you know it’s going to be, get ahead of it. First cramp? Medicate now. Twinges of a headache? Medicate now. Pulled your back and you know you’ll feel it later? Medicate NOW.
This is why service dogs trained to alert for migraines are so helpful, with most migraine rescue meds you need to take them as soon as you possibly can, the earlier the better, and a trained dog can tell you’re going to have a migraine before you notice a single symptom and alert you that you need to take your meds, making them way more effective than they would be if you waited until your body started giving you symptoms you’d actually notice to take them.
And then sometimes dogs will train themselves to be migraine alert dogs…
i once knew a blind dressage horse named achilles. he was a very good horse and largely pretty capable, but, being blind, he trusted humans very little when leading him around. why? because when you lead most horses, you do so with a certain level of looseness, because of the assumption that they will follow where you lead them without smacking into something. but achilles, being blind, would just walk into things if you led him to do so. eventually he’d developed a habit of stopping every few seconds to push his nose onto your shoulder when you were leading him as if to say “brother if there’s a solid wall in front of me rn this friendship is over” it all really depended on how well he knew you and if you’d wronged him before (accidentally let a stall door smack him in the nose when you were closing it)
he was also friends with a baby miniature horse that would neigh when the herd had moved and achilles hadn’t noticed so achilles would follow his voice to catch up with everyone else. the baby miniature horse was named orion and he loooooved biting. he was so fucking bitey it was unreal. he would chew on your shoes for enrichment
Tubi is the best streaming service because it captures the feeling of a video store, but not a corporate video store like Blockbuster, or even a good indie store, but a rundown video rental place under a overpass weeks away from closing down. You’ll find, like, 2001: A Space Odyssey next to a unwatchable copy of a 70s exploitation film and a micro-low-budget indie and a movie called STRIPPER VAMPIRE MASSACRE III but you can find no evidence of STRIPPER VAMPIRE MASSACRE one or two existing.
This is a real, commercial streaming service and they’ve uploaded films with the DVD menu visible for the first few seconds bc it’s a recording of a DVD copy. What a titan in the landscape of streaming
do terfs send their gfs nudes or is that still like. “evil male gaze pornography” or whatever
post canceled let’s talk about this instead
It’s always morbidly fascinating how TERFs somehow managed to twist feminism in such a way they arrive back at literally medieval concepts of “women are pure innocent maidens with zero sexual desire who must be protected from men”
