Scooby-Doo is a dog who can talk, which is amazing, and he largely uses his powers of speech to communicate how scared he is of ghosts and monsters, and basically the only thing his owners do is drive him around the country putting him inside various haunted houses and such. I wish I could take Scooby-Doo aside, I want to say to him, these people are not your friends.
I wanna headcanon that agrica was louis's fairy similar to how gallica was will's fairy, And she sometimes misses him and wishes he changes back to how he thinks and acts back to his younger and nicer self.
zero patience for “irreversible damage” rhetoric because like… parents are allowed to do all kinds of other irreversible body modification to their kids and nobody gives a fuck. you can pierce your kid’s ears, you can sign them up for a sport that will injure them for life, you can provide or withhold medical care like vaccines according to whatever whims you like. i’ve mentioned this before but my mom forced me to get laser hair removal done on my legs when i was a teenager because my body wasn’t mine, the way i chose to upkeep it was a reflection on her. “irreversible damage” is very much part and parcel of the broader belief that parents own their children’s bodies.
My account is still blocked from searching/tags/etc on my business blog @foundfamilyadventurecrafts so I’m posting this here. There’s something very bad happening with Small Business, Tech, and Amazon. What else is new?
Hey, that’s us and a bunch of our friends! This whole thing SUCKS so bad and we’re pissed. We’ve intentionally not listed our products on Amazon for the 15 years we’ve been in business. We’re ready to join a class action lawsuit and kick some ass.

Elderly lady mail clerk and young customer are chatting. Customer says, “oh! I’m wearing my boss’s coat right now, give me something weird to put in the pocket!” Others within earshot all start looking for something because, hey, important quest. Mail clerk finally reaches under counter, pulls out a large roll of labels, and tears one off.
I am fully serious about this btw. not “pro sex work” as in “there are no issues whatsoever within the industry”, but “pro sex work” as in “these are jobs and the workers should be a) allowed to work and b) protected from their customers by the law”
people responding to this with stuff like “but that would just put sex workers in the same exploited position as uber drivers, cleaners, migrant workers, etc” and yes! good point! reform all of it! keep going!
my mum has severe knee problems and needs a replacement. Today she was told she’s too fat to be operated on and the knee specialist suggested she gets a gastric band - which also involves surgery. So my mum was like first of all you didn’t read my file because it explains that I’m not fat because I eat too much second of all you said it’s impossible for me to get surgery and then suggested I get a surgery about it? He then asked her her weight and height, didn’t believe her answer, and made her prove it to him because she “looks fatter than that”. So she was like so you also just entirely based this on looks instead of actual numbers?
My mom went through something similar. She needed a knee replacement and her doctor wouldn’t okay it until she lost weight, which was difficult given the whole knee problem preventing her from walking thing. He told her she was too dangerous to operate on and that there were just too many risks.
My mom tried to lose weight in vain for months before she finally gave into my begging her to get a second opinion. The first doctor she saw next scheduled her for surgery the same day she met him. When my mom asked about the risk of operating on her he told her that there was some minor risks for complication and that all she would need to do to alleviate the risk was spend an extra night in the hospital so that they could keep a look out for any complications.
There were zero. There were also zero complications when she had her other knee done, her hip replaced and her gallbladder removed.
Almost like the first doctor was entirely full of shit and just trying to coerce his patient to lose weight by scaring her for fucking nothing, even when she was living day to day in excruciating pain and desperately needed a surgery.
We should be allowed to kick the everloving literal shit out of these people. May they reap the care they give, all at once, with no pain relief and nobody who believes them. May they know fear.
