Things I have to deal with every time I go to the doctors:
-‘wow! You’re really young to have this!’
-‘*explains what an EKG is*
“I know what an EKG is”
*awkward nurse smile*
-doctor: draws a vague circle shape with lines so shaky you’d think their family is being held at gunpoint
Doctor: so this is your heart
-“your anemic”
“I am not anemic”
“We’re giving you a blood test!”
…
“You’re not anemic!”

Dear actors in show/movies/ASMR vids:
When portraying a medical person, once you put on the gloves, please. PLEASE.
Do not then touch your hair, face, anything not already prepped for whatever medical something you are about to do.
Please and thank you.
Love, a medical provider who loves your work but for real needs you to stop it.

I've basically had the same political opinions since I was 10 and I went through some years where I was really like "no it must be more complicated, I must not understand the situation fully" but actually now having read a ton of theory and having had a ton of conversations with good comrades, my basic beliefs that we have enough to make sure everyone is housed and fed, most jobs under capitalism exist to funnel wealth upward, fuck Nazis and fuck the United States of America, we're only in the middle east for oil; all these beliefs are blindingly obviously correct and always have been.

I can’t believe we have to pay for food
We live in a society in which we have to pay for food.
In order to live, you have to pay for it.
This sounds like actual torture.

When I read a fanfic I like, the author becomes a mini celebrity to me. So when an author with a work I like kudos’ or comments on my own fanfic I just-

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.
I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.
2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)
3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited
Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.
Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).
Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.
Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.

it's come to my attention that a lot of people don't know about bluemaxima's flashpoint and genuinely think they'll never be able to play their favorite 00s internet games ever again so i just want to remind everyone that flashpoint is a huge internet flash game preservation project that allows you to play just about any internet flash game/animation despite the death of flash. if they've got it in their database (and they probably do) you can play it. go forth and drink in the 00s nostalgia
even if you think there's no way they'll have the game u want. they probably do anyway. when i first downloaded flashpoint i thought for sure theres no way they will have the obscure flash game i played for hours as a kid that was only even available on the internet for like 2 months in 2006. but you know what. they had it. seriously, download flashpoint

Needing the emotional catharsis of full body sobbing but not being able to is the most frustrating feeling I think
