I don’t want to know what people say about me when I’m not there because frankly that’s not my business

Sometimes you need to vent about people you like and them hearing the things you say about them won’t be helpful to anybody. As long as someone isn’t going around trying to convince everyone that I’m the zodiac killer I don’t wanna know.

I know that negative things must be said about me sometimes and if they don’t think I need to hear it then I don’t need to hear it.

This is why you have at least two children. So they can complain about you behind your back. Giving other people in your life space to be frustrated with you is good. But you don’t need to hear about it. If it’s that important they should say it to your face. If they don’t tell you and they think you ought to know then that’s their problem.

Everyone is inconvenient and annoying. It comes free with being alive.

props to stem people wtf! i can bullshit my way through any english essay because literally u just have to say stuff. but for stem paper u have to say stuff AND it has to be true. wack. 

props to hums people wtf! i can bullshit my way through any stem essay because literally u just have to repeat stuff. but for a hums paper u have to say stuff AND it has to be new stuff from your brain. wack. 

#FINALLY the solidarity we need to defeat business majors

setting up a tiny detail in one chapter to pay it off in the next few chapters feels sooo devious like oooh i can't wait to write the small little reference here that 70% of readers will miss but 30% of readers will cheer for

it feels so good loading the gun when you're Chekhov

Signs of a heart attack are different for each gender yet we only really teach the male warning signs. Make sure you’re aware of both and spread it to as many other women as possible!

EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TAKEN A CPR CLASS I have had to be that person who points out that the training videos ALWAYS frame the “male” symptoms as the default universal heart attack experience, while the “female” symptoms are framed as though they’re a deviation from the norm, rather than the primary symptom set that cis women experience. 

ALSO: I just showed this post to my roommate, who is an MD at a clinic that specializes in care for the LGBT community in the Baltimore area. I asked her  whether hormones were responsible for the difference in the “male/female” symptom arrays. I asked how that would apply to her trans patients (which, she treats a LOT of trans patients). She said, basically, that the longer you’ve taken testosterone the more likely you are to get the intense chest pressure and the arm pain, versus the upper back pressure and shortness of breath.

Obviously I am not a doctor myself, consult your own health care provider, etc.

Reblogging this comment because this is the FIRST TIME I’ve ever seen someone address what XYZ medical condition would look like in trans patients. Also this is partly why my great-grandma died: the (male) doctor dismissed her heart attack as basically indigestion, because she didn’t have the typical male symptoms.

Oh my God someone was able to answer the trans patient question!

staying close w people long distance really is about the mundane stuff. i get texts like "made quesadillas" "spilled mop water all over the floor :(" "lady on the bus has not one not two but three tiny dogs in her purse" andits like wow. i love you more than words can express

happy 100k to the realest post ive ever made

From The Helsinki Affair, by Anna Pitoniak:

"One day, as he was texting her about the shortstop the Yankees had just traded, he thought: Why am I boring her with this? She doesn’t care about the Yankees. And then he thought: I’m telling her this because I love her."

do you all see my vision here

imagine your ot3

One time my dad and I got into an argument cause he said it was unprofessional for a man to wear a skirt to work because a man would only want to wear women’s clothing if it was a sexual fetish and at the time I just thought it was stupid but in hindsight I think I learned something deeply personal about my dad

“I wouldn’t be caught dead in any kind of dress because dresses are for women and I’m a man so it would be perverted, the only reason a man would wear a dress would be if he was getting off on it” really is the most weirdly conservative way to admit you find crossdressing so intensely erotic that you cannot imagine a reality where it’s boring, huh

I have no idea if there’s any merit to this at all but now I can’t stop and it’s requiring my brain

“cleavage is slutty and suggestive” only if you think it is. Why are you giving boobs power over you like that

“crossdressing is erotic” Why? Does it turn you on? And if it does, why is that anyone else’s problem? Are sandals erotic? People with foot fetishes aren’t banning flip-flops

“same sex relationships are perverted” Even if they never fuck and just do taxes and shit? Why are you so fixated on gay people doing horny stuff. Why can’t you divide a category of people from porn

Am I late to the fucking game or does just about every single social taboo related to promiscuity boil down to “your insistence that it’s kinky is the only thing making it kinky instead of boring”?

Imagine being so pornbrained that you cannot conceive of a reality where a dude might want to hold hands with his husband or go to a nude beach or wear a cute summer dress to the farmers market without being insanely rock hard about it the entire goddamn time

The tags are gold too

the top one is the recent one, i just wanted a little collection of "parents can support their trans kids and no one went on fire or died"

and one for siblings:

don't forget about dwyane wade and gabrielle union supporting their daughter Zaya

Or Liev Schreiber (and by extension Naomi Watts) and daughter:

And Charlize Theron and her trans daughter

extremely cool article you should read if you haven’t already

Based.

Revenge!

Have you guys seen that clip

Go off Kermit

we're just normal men

Why the heck is this dude trying to confirm if the frog puppet is hetrosexual???

Okay, so I know it's right there in the name, but.

I'm not the only one who didn't realize that, uh.

Water buffalo.

That.

I will open the fucking TikTok app just to watch this video multiple times

TIKTOKER: I swear to God, no one tickles my testicles more than the people of my own fucking country. Okay, so like WHAT HAPPENED was this year, this summer, I was in Korea. And I linked up with a homie that I haven't met in a long time, just catching up. "Oh my God, how are you? You GRADUATED? That's insane, where do you work!?" Whatever. Okay.

So there was a conversation about like, food and preferences. So I just asked him! I just asked him: (in Korean, pronoucing "asparagus" as a Korean loan word) "Hey, when you eat steak, do you put asparagus?"

(in English) And this BITCH. He looks at me DEAD STRAIGHT IN THE FUCKING EYES. Has the AUDACITY to just.... degrade, I guess! Ask me: (in Korean) "HAH! Hey, aren't you from America? Why are you calling it (emphasizing the Korean pronunciation of asparagus) ASPARAGUS?"

(in English, in an exaggerated stereotypical American accent) OH, I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY! Am I supposed to say ASS-PARA-GUSS? ASS-PARA-GUSS? DO I GO (says his question again in Korean, but breaks up the flow of the speech by pronouncing all the loan words with American pronunciation).

IT FUCKS THE FLOW!!! WHY ARE YOU BITCHING!? I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY! YOU MONOLINGUAL FUCK!!!!

"Getting into this hobby is actually super cheap and easy!!!! First, start with a section of land and a house that you own and can mess up at your discretion"

The original inspiration for this is that I've looked up a lot of basic woodworking stuff multiple times to try and make better and better tortoise enclosures, and ended up in this trap every time lmao

"It's much cheaper to just buy this size of wood and take it to your table saw" WHAT FUCKING TABLE SAW

the secret is that people who have a garage with a table saw are constantly looking for reasons to justify that use of space and money. so if you find somebody with a table saw and ask if you can use it, you're actually doing them a huge favor by justifying the saw continuing to take up space. "of course I need a table saw. what if somebody needs to upgrade a turtle enclosue."

#1. go to local gay bar 2. find group of 50-60 yr olds. 3. ask if anyone has a table saw 4. watch eyes light up

After the hell of the past two days, this reminded me of what America could and should be about. It’s a little pocket of hope when our administration is trying to extinguish diversity and community and basic human decency and replace them with fear and hate and division.

Re: blorbo from my research, here is my favorite ever case study. I'm obsessed with it.

Summary:

- Guy presents to neurology with muscle issues, very clearly has something going on but diagnostic tests are inconclusive

- History is mostly unremarkable. Key word, mostly. He drinks four liters of plain Earl Grey tea per day. For context this is nearly twice the recommended daily fluid intake. All fluids, to be clear, not just tea. He only drinks tea tho

- Bergamot is known to be phototoxic in high doses (reacts badly on your skin with sunlight)

- APPARENTLY nobody previously has consumed enough of it for it to be widely known that it is also, apparently, mildly toxic to ingest in high doses

- Guy starts drinking plain black tea again. Only 2 liters this time (he didn't have a medical reason to drink that much tea, he just liked it) and so now he's fully recovered
