magical girl but the person you become when you transform is not you. it is something else. and the line between you and your magical form is drawing ever closer and yet so far away
i know our philosophical beliefs are skewed at best but we have a deeply held precept that if nobody in the world knows you exist or agrees that you do, you’re not entirely “real”, part of this undoubtedly being a result of the fact we only existed to mod for half a decade and are thus not able to point to anything to even kind of back up what we say. which is awesome because what i claim you should feel about my childhood is deeply fake sounding and having like any kind of paper trail or witnesses would be REALLY GREAT HONESTLY
Too tired to draw but I still need everyone to be aware of this bizarre interaction I had at work this morning
Worth mentioning is that I’m in Iceland and the store I work at only accepts icelandic króna so like even euros wouldn’t have worked in this case
On the one hand I refuse to defend Americans and this behavior is kind of embarrassing but on the other hand dumbasses enraging Europeans by not caring even a little bit about their funny little currencies is absolutely hilarious so I’m conflicted here
I think I’ve decided it’s time to topple the dollar as a world standard
I propose we switch to Chilean Peso
I think we should go back to harvesting seashells
I can’t do this anymore I am seriously at my limit here
Idk I’m in full support of forcing the English to accept my green construction paper
Could you do me a quick favour and point out where England is on this map?
University of Pennsylvania students are reportedly appealing to fellow student Naomi Biden to pressure her grandfather for a presidential pardon of Mangione on Sidechat, a Yik Yak clone.
One of the underdiscussed tragedies of covid is the fact that a ton of newly disabled people have been shoved into the discursive spotlight as the dominant voice on disability issues to spew frankly rancid takes
Basically everything said i have immense compassion and solidarity and time for coming from struggling individuals but whej spoken as a major discursive line, many of these takes are having pretty disastrous effects on the discourse and efficacy of the socio-medical field of chronic illness management and justice
Long covid is real, and debilitating. It’s also novel– the longest anyone can possibly have had long covid is about 5 years. I don’t know that I know any chronically ill person who’s condition arose as an adult who’ve made meaningful progress in managing their illness well in under 5 years; NOR anyone who hasn’t made significant progress coping in under 10 years.
Becoming disabled is terrifying and there’s a lot of grief and frustration and rage to work through– and a lot of ableism. Most people who became #disabilityjusticeadvocates after being disabled by long covid have absolutely 0 knowledge of the history or tactics of disabled movements. Frankly offensive and ludicrous comparisons to AIDS, for example, run rampant– despite the fact this is nothing like AIDS and ppl making these comparisons appear to be only passingly familiar with the AIDS epidemic and wholly unaware of the current abuse and criminalization forced on ppl who are HIV+. We can make critiques of how capitalism and frankly civilized society disables people, specific political critiques of covid even, without rudely and unhelpfully asserting that this is the Worst Thing That’s Happened And Nobodys Ever Had It As Bad As You. It is not, and will never be, *literally illegal* to have long covid. Fuck, governments actually DID SOMETHING and responded!! It sucked, because it will always suck, it pushed poor people hardest, and so on, but cmon. You cannot seriously compare problematic but prompt vaccine rollouts and ongoing intense research into management and cures to 20 years of unaddressed death; nor a “resistance” movement that essentially amounts to insults & ineffectual propaganda to one that worked extremely hard at building communal support structures and making legit gains. Yall ain’t even pumping infected air into the cdc offices. Smh.
My heart fucking hurts for the huge numbers of ppl who have become disabled without access to support and then asked to become discursive authorities on disability while still trying to figure out what living as a newly disabled person can look like, but I’m also fully pissed at the behavior of some of yall and how bystanders willing platform really ineffectual and frankly ableist shit because of “listening to affected voices”.
People ARE making moves– there are support groups and communities sharing new strategies both from DIY versions of new literature and observations from personal experiments. Nicotine patches are what I’m aware of most recently and i bieve Four Theives published a guide to a drug that *cures* a meaningful, but not fda-requirememt-satisfying # of cases. It is possible to take strides, movement is still possible, it is important to not lose rage or critique! AND everyone is still figuring this thing out (let me reiterate that long covid is getting a comparatively huge amount of research and attention than many other chronic illnesses, like fr) & the least some of yall can fucking do is not drag the entire concept of chronic illness management down in your despair.
icant even explain why i feel this way about it but this meme, this specific version, just makes me so emotional i love it so so much. its very heartwarming. peace n love on planet earth

Fuck, the last panel hit hard.
I’ve been watching and reading Superman for 50 years and still, the big guy means something to me.
Not enough people talking about how that guy knows exactly whose tirehe’s changing. Getting his name wrong is one thing, but getting it wrong a different way every time you say it?
Oh, I had not put that together before. Fantastic.
History is absolutely yellow or brown though for me both science and maths can be blue or green. Native language is red and English as The First Foreign Language is purple
What fucking school do you go to….
I went to school in a country that isn’t English speaking. We had our native language, of course, and then English as the first foreign language, then we also had a second foreign language in addition to English (for most people this was German though some schools had French or Russian) In the later grades.
History is absolutely yellow or brown though for me both science and maths can be blue or green. Native language is red and English as The First Foreign Language is purple
science is green or blue (depending on if its a life science or physical science), math is blue or red if blue is taken, historyis orange, english is yellow, 2nd language (latin) is purple, random other class is black
Okay but this is serious, I work in retail and I had a lady come up and ask for 2 $500 Google play gift cards. We have been trained to look for these scams and to warn the customers NEVER give the card numbers over the phone unless you have met this person face to face. I told the lady this and she started crying, saying they were the IRS and that if she hung up they would call the police and have her arrested. They wanted to keep her on the phone so she couldn’t call her husband, who was more aware of how the IRS works. I was able to convince her to hang up and call the police on *them* instead, and saved her $500.
Scams are serious, people lose a lot of money and older people are targeted the worst because they’re easy targets.
First of all, the IRS will *never* call you and ask for money, and they definitely won’t call the cops on you. They’ll get your money if they really want it through taxes.
But now they’re trying to target our generation using crypto, which is super hard to trace if the money gets lost. So they’re getting smarter, and they’ll use whatever they can to get you to give them money.
What you really need to know or take away from this is: NEVER, and I mean EVER, buy a gift card and give the barcode number on the back to someone over the phone. It is ALWAYS, 100%, a scam!
Please be safe and hang up on these fuckers the second they ask you to buy a gift card.

i shouldn’t be seeing floaters shaped like your car’s headlights for thirty seconds after i pass you. also shut the fuck up. and your car does not need to be that big. you’re putting other people in danger. let’s get you a more conscious-of-other-people car
a post on here could be like “make sure you litter guys! the earth is actually adapting to digesting different kinds of materials if we stop littering we’re hurting it” and a good handful of you would reblog with “yiikes :0 didnt know this. followers make sure to throw your trash on the ground
