Oh, this is me EXACTLY.
Literally all of this things, sometimes combined into one insult/complaint, at one point or another have been said to me. Growing up in a predominantly female home, I can assure you that these are things said to women frequently and sometimes even by other women. :/
Please reblog if you are a girl and have ever been made to feel ashamed of one or more of these things (wanting to prove a point to some asshole):
-your weight
-your clothing choice
-your amount of make up
-having sex
-not having sex
-breast size
-having your period
-saying no
-not appreciating catcalls
-masturbating
-body hair
This is important.
I don’t even have to tell you why this is important or why you should support the Kickstarter to bring back Reading Rainbow; you know why. So go do it!
I may or may not have snorted and then danced* in the chair whilst having a giggle fit because of this...may or may not have. :3
*The term danced should not be taken literally given that it was, in reality, just flailing of the arms and legs while spinning (because it's a spin-y chair and that's what you do in spin-y chairs).
no, listen, when I say I want to integrate more specific solarpunk stuff in my life, i don’t mean to ask for yet again new “aesthetic” clothes that now you have to buy or make to show your support of the movement (screw that i’m consuming enough as it is), or more posts about impossible house goals, or whatever, I’m asking you what my options to build a portable and eco friendly phone charger are, im asking you viable tiny-appartment edible plants growing tricks on a budget, im asking tips to slow down when my mind and society tell me im not fast enough, i don’t need more rich art nouveau amateurs aesthetics or pristine but cold venus project, okay, i know i should joins associations where I am tho i’m constantly on the move, thanks for that, just, you know, can we get a bit more practical ??? how do I hack my temporary flat into going off the grid for the time i’m here
Sooooo, I work in an ER as a patient access representative (fancy way of saying I take information from patients and work with insurance) and let me tell you how much trouble that hospital can get into for taking to you like that. If you recorded them and took it to court, dear lord there's no telling the shit storm that would ensue! The reason being, if they treat you like that over the phone, and then you go out and do something and get seriously hurt or die, then they can be held liable for not making you feel welcome to come in and be treated. And heaven forbid of you were actually in the ER and before you checked in, they treated you like that and then you left. Without getting too far into the endless responsibilities we get as non-clinical workers! We answer the phones for the ER and if someone calls in/walks in asking if they could be seen for suicidal ideation (or anything really) we have prompts that we have to say such as "Of course, we'd be more than happy to see you/help you! Please, come on in/Sign in so we can have a nurse triage you and take you to your room!" If directions are needed, we can give them directions, if they need to speak to a nurse directly, we can transfer the call to one/ask one to meet us in the lobby. There's never any reason for someone to be rude and make you feel unwelcome at a hospital where you are going to make you feel better/healthy!! I'm so sorry that this happened to you when you were feeling like this and I hope you did eventually get some help. :/
I tried to ask a place about being hospitalized bc of suicidal/self harm things and the lady on the phone was the rudest piece of shit and would just keep yelling at me to go to the ER “if it was that bad” and stop wasting her/everyone else’s time and if that doesn’t give you a good idea of how much those places really want to “help” idk what will
I was at our local bakery recently and came across a loaf of bread quaintly branded as a “Peasant Loaf”. It was selling for over $6—the irony of this was not lost on me.
In retaliation I have decided to post what I actually think of as a peasant loaf, but with the luxury of finely ground modern flour which is less likely to break your teeth because actual peasant loaf bread is like chewing rocks unless you’re soaking it in soup or stew.
This is a very simple loaf, it requires no special tools and is a fairly forgiving dough for beginners to work with. Also it has the added bonus of looking like an expensive artisan loaf, but costs literal pennies to make once you invest in the basic ingredients.
So what do you need?
Ingredients:
Plain flour (or wholewheat if you prefer)
One sachet of active dry yeast.
Salt.
Water.
Tools:
Bowl
Mug
Prep and bake time total: 2 hours 45 minutes.
Yep, that’s it. You’ll notice that there’s no quantities listed up there, and that’s because you’ll be using the mug to measure everything. This helps to make sure your quantities are consistent, and means that so long as you have a mug and your ingredients, you can make bread. Heck you don’t even need a bowl, it just makes clean up easier.
Again I had Elusive Tumblr Dad help me take the photos so be warned this is going to be fairly image heavy under the cut :D

Oh, I did this yesterday. There's no telling how many classes I've missed for this reason. :(
So I decided not to go to class because I would be leaving just now and class started 10 minutes ago and I can’t walk in 25 minutes late without going into a panic attack, so yeah.
This made me cry... I cannot properly convey how messed up this situation is...
A Syrian boy was acting dead, because he wanted them to stop shooting him so he can rescue a girl, who was hiding behind the car. He’s a hero!
