WHAT A GOOD VIDEO
Can’t risk it
this is the idea chicken
she lays an idea egg every day whether you use it or not
idea eggs will be plentiful for you because the world is a vast and fascinating source of ideas and you don’t need luck or blog voodoo to have them for breakfast every morning
I will reblog this every time.
Literally this.
Getting dirty, asking questions, being unapologetically enthusiastic about things, going overboard on projects. These are a few of my favorite things.
This is so heartbreaking, but so true.

If someone (a straight, gay, or lesbian) refuses to date you because of your sexuality or is ‘put off’ by your attraction to multiple genders they do not deserve you, & they are not worth your time.
!!!
Don’t keep around people who fear you ‘cheating on the same sex’ because being Bi or Pan etc doesn’t make you cheat more than a cishet.
Reposting because it’s a BS reason on why not to date someone bi.
I got real petty over on the Facebook page and IT WAS GLORIOUS.
This is me, going to check out Legendary Books now…
Publisher: We think that the way the fantasy genre treats women is problematic so we’re going to try and do better
A Fool: If you don’t like it why don’t you make your own!
Publisher: That
That is literally what we just said we are doing
BOY it feels good to be back in this particular saddle!
AHAHAHAHAHA we have a winner for today!
I THINK I JUST FOUND ME A NEW BOOK SERIES TO READ OMG
I need to support any publisher with this much sass.
“and we dont kill any of them”
while that’s great at avoiding the disposable gays trope, that sure sucks the drama out of any sort of conflict that occurs (knowing that everyone will be just fine and there are no lasting consequences for inter-character conflicts)
There’s a lot more and a lot better conflict to be had in stories than “Do they die,” my friend.
There’s a lot worse and a lot longer lasting consequences than death, too.

HOSPITALS. ARE. ALREADY. REQUIRED. UNDER. LAW. TO. PROVIDE. LIFE. SAVING. EMERGENCY. CARE. REGARDLESS. OF. ABILITY. TO. PAY. OR. EVEN. CITIZENSHIP.
Stop acting like Americans have no access to emergency healthcare unless we socialize medicine.
IF. YOU. GO. AND. CAN’T. PAY. YOU’RE. STILL. THOUSANDS. IN. DEBT. THIS. IS. NOT. ACCESS.
This hospital in my city just threw out a homeless man
The hospital which took me in after I collapsed from the fist sized tumor over my heart, released me after refusing to diagnose it as cancer, which would have forced them to give me some kind of treatment. The doctor at the county hospital which took me in looked at their tests and said, “this is CLEARLY cancer, why didn’t they diagnose it? We can’t let you leave.”
Hospitals find ways when they want to, to avoid helping people when they want to.
“Oh that’s illegal, you should sue” “ with what money and how will I get the time and energy when I’m busy recovering from chemo?”
People who can’t afford treatment also can’t afford to protect their rights.
Absolutely this: “People who can’t afford treatment also can’t afford to protect their rights.”
All, this, but also: having the ER be people’s only point of access is horribly financially irresponsible. It means that people have to go to the ER for every problem if it’s the only place that won’t turn them away, so they go there for an ear infection or a sprained ankle and rack up a bill that’s ten times higher than if they’d been able to go to an urgent care clinic or a regular doctor’s office.
That’s a huge waste of money and resources. And when people can’t pay that giant bill, it drives up everyone’s healthcare costs. Even if you don’t care about human beings at all, you should still care about this completely irrational situation where we’re losing large amounts of money because we refuse to offer people more affordable access to care.
Also, there are things the ER simply can’t do (or does very poorly and expensively), including:
- Preventative care like vaccinations, cancer screening, or prenatal care.
- Rehabilitative care like PT after an injury.
- Long-term care for people who aren’t able to take care of their own daily needs.
- Care for any chronic condition that isn’t a crisis at this moment.
So yeah, not only is “you can just to go the ER” not a real solution for healthcare, but it’s more expensive than universal access to regular doctors would be. The US government spends more on healthcare than countries that have universal healthcare! We’re not saving money with our system, we’re actually wasting money to inflict deprivation on people.
I recently wrote a letter to my representative about why this is a problem and said we needed universal health care, and my teacher said we already had it and I had to change it to “we need extended universal healthcare” even though three of my four parents work in the medical profession, and two of them work everyday with people who struggle to afford the care they are getting under our “universal healthcare” and flat out told me we dont have universal healthcare and my teacher was wrong. One of my point was exactly as stated above, the ER is not beneficial as a primary care provider because they aren’t equipped to handle that stort of stuff. They’re equipped to handle EMERGENCIES.
if you’ve seen the breaking news that trump just signed an executive order today to end the family separation policy here’s some quick info to keep things in perspective
this is not a victory or a solution. This is the administration trying to cover their asses and avoid any more public outrage. They want people to see this as the end of the news story and go back to their lives. They want people to forget the thousands of children they are still keeping in cages in ICE facilities across the nation. This issue is not over and we cannot stop being outraged until we are given proof that the thousands of kidnapped children are returned to their families, and that the policy of arresting and prosecuting people who cross the border is ended.

patchworkheart answered:
I have a younger sister actually. And if she has kids and chooses to let me be a part of their life, I’d just prefer they call me Shiloh.
So, I suppose her kids could just say that you’re their mom’s sibling, who is neither their aunt, nor uncle?
I mean, I don’t have a problem with that, but I can definitely see that confuse some people, especially children.
“My mom has a sibling who isn’t a boy or a girl.”
“Oh. What do you call them?”
“Shiloh. That’s their name.”
“Okay. Can I have some of your oreos?”
That’s probably what the conversation would look like. Kids are smarter and more accepting than we give them credit for.
