my nurse just came in to check my vitals and I told him to fight me from beneath a mountain pillows. He just moved my pillows and told me maybe later.

ohsebs

he just came in again and when I tried to tell him to fight me again I started coughing and I couldn’t breathe and then then he just smiled and told he won’t fight me because he knows I’d win

ohsebs

Apparently I seduced him with my drool and terrible lungs because he wrote his number on a coffee from the giftshop under “fight me?”

already got a blazed marvel post. the adpocalypse is closer than we think so heres your daily PSA

don't interact with corporate tumblr accounts

yes even to dunk on them. i don't care if you have the sickest burn of the century lined up, don't even give them the time of day

the eventual and inevitable fall of twitter marks a change in the advertising industry, and tumblr is unclaimed territory. if we want tumblr to remain the social media bastion it has become, it needs to remain as unappealing to corporations as possible. do not engage. in a marketing strategist's eyes, any kind of attention is good attention. don't "silence, brand" them. don't kungpowpenis them. don't send them hate anons. don't hate-follow them. corporate tumblrs are not a single entity and they will not be harassed off this site. we only have a shot at repelling them because of tumblr's lack of an algorithm. so turn off recommended posts on your dashboard, put it chronological order, and install an adblocker. if you don't seek out these blazed posts and actively ignore them when they happen upon you, the corporations will starve. in this case, the best kind of protest is a silent one

THIS GOES DOUBLE FOR POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT. THAT'S EVEN WORSE.

Why the fuck did Amazon just send me and this one other guy in our building a free sample package of Coke Zero

Why

jerrylandis

Hey guysssss I’d like to take a moment to talk to you all about this new product. Coke

seliphra

There’s a real explanation! This is actually a SCAM called ‘Brushing’ to raise their ratings on amazon artificially. They create a fake account with a random real address, purchase the item themselves and mail it off and as it goes to a real address, random people get it. 

Then they leave themselves a nice five-star review with the fake account. This sounds like a victimless crime, but this means your information is compromised, they have your account info, and possibly your credit card information, and can lead to people purchasing garbage because they believe the multiple verified five star reviews. 

If you receive a random package you did not order, you should report it immediately to both Amazon and the Federal Trade Commission, change your password, and monitor your cards. You’re free to keep the package though. 

particularj

It’s that time of year again.

Monitor your credit and debit cards regularly. Be wary of pop up sites offering deals too good to be true. If you get a package you didn’t order, investigate, be cautious, but US law also allows you to keep anything sent to you without obligation (you know, to prevent scams where people send you something you didn’t ask for and then sue you for an inflated purchase price).

Oh, and shop small / fuck Amazon if you are able.

Thinking about how my mom tried to “seduce” my dad when they were in college together by sneaking oranges into his backpack, because she grew up food insecure and feeding someone/sharing food was a big deal with her upbringing with a lot of emotional meaning–

and meanwhile my poor dad is just convinced that he’s been haunted by some citrus poltergeist because why the fuck are there always oranges in his bag he swears he did not put there???

Okay– you guys want another cute story about my parents and food?

So my mother is an amazing baker. And as I mentioned in a reblog of the Oranges post, my parents now always keep fresh fruit in the house – particularly bananas (my dad likes them with his breakfast). And whenever the bananas go brown, mom makes (really goddamn delicious) banana bread.

My parents are very avid outdoorsy folks and do a lot of hiking. They live in a mountainous region and basically climb a mountain every weekend (most of the mountains here are under 6,000 feet, but rocky), including in the middle of winter. Because cold and exertion eat through your blood sugar, they always pack trail snacks, and they developed a tradition of bringing a mini loaf of mom’s banana bread that they share on the summit.

Now a few years ago my father was having a midlife crisis and decided he was going to hike a REALLY big mountain. So he signed up for an expedition to climb Mt. Denali in Alaska – the tallest peak in North America. The group he was going with had a trip planned where everyone would be responsible for hiking with and carrying their own gear, so you had to be prepared to hike up a big fuckoff mountain in potentially treacherous conditions with a heavy pack.

My mother was not going on this expedition (she has problems with altitude sickness) but dammit, she was not going to let my dad go get himself killed by being unprepared. So in the year leading up to his climb, she kinda became his personal trainer. They hiked the local mountains a lot and in all kinds of weather conditions, practiced rope training and crevasse rescue techniques, and she made sure he practiced climbing with increasingly heavy packs until he was hauling around 65lbs of weights on his back. Sometimes she would even sit in a sled in the snow and make him pull her. 

When the trip finally came, dad was incredibly excited, and amused that his gear pack actually ended up being lighter than his practice pack. A number of other folks in the expedition had practiced going up a stair machines with weight on their backs, but mom had dragged dad through all the really rocky, treacherous trails around here with ice and water crossings, so he had solid balance from really moving with that amount of weight. Over the course of the climb (which took a couple weeks), half of the hikers ended up turning back (for various reasons), but despite being the oldest in the group, dad was one of the few to summit. 

And on the day he made it to the top, at 20,310 feet of elevation, he pulled out of his pack, wrapped in foil and mostly frozen but intact despite the long trip, a loaf of my mother’s banana bread, to eat on top of the world. Because, he said later, even if she wasn’t there with him, she was the reason he made it to the top.

Anonymous asked:

Please, I beg you, tell us how your dad discovered that your mother was the citrus poltergeist?

portraitoftheoddity answered:

He didn’t! At least not until later.

The citrus haunting flirtation strategy was a bust so mom had to change tactics.

She low-key stalked my dad for a bit (they were in the same French class, she was extremely quiet so he was only vaguely aware she existed and that she was the reason his grade got docked because she confronted the professor about his sexism for marking down girls for not typing up their papers while letting guys turn them in hand-written, but that’s another story). She figured out his favorite haunts and the bar near campus where he and his friends hung out.

So she puts on her cute blouse one night and goes there and sits at the bar, looking aloof and bored until he approaches her. He mentions he’s never seen her drink there before and she lies her ass off and says she’s there all the time.

Uh huh. (He’s starting to catch on.)

He asks if he can buy her a glass of wine.

My mother, trying to maintain the allure of worldly aloofness, gives him withering look and asks if he knows what good wine is.

And my rich-kid wine-snob dad smirks and says I have a pretty good idea.

One thing leads to another, he asks if she wants to get out of there and go back to his place, and she asks him what time he’s okay with getting up. Because she has work at the library the next morning but her car is a shitbox whose battery is on its last legs and she’ll need to get up early to call AAA to have them jumpstart her dead car battery so she can get to work on time, so if he’s okay with getting up really early so she can get her car jumped then yes, but if he needs to sleep in, then no.

My dad blinks and informs her that is the weirdest answer he has ever gotten to that question.

….And presumably was okay with an early morning wakeup because that’s how my parents got together.

Brexit is a shitshow and it is going to potentially affect the health and wellbeing of the population.

If you follow UK news, you'll know there is a shortage of blood test tubes in the UK due to supply issues directly caused by Brexit. This is going to pose the very real risk of underlying health conditions not being picked up in time and, in very extreme cases, carries a risk to life.

Distribution is obviously going to be done by priority. Routine blood checks will fall away in favour of making sure the clinically indicated tests are done first, for example.

The Independent's report on this highlights what's going on reasonably well:

image

I work for the NHS in a community mental health Trust. My team runs a physical health check clinic for some of our patients, and part of this check includes having their bloods taken. This is no longer going to happen, as of yesterday.

Now, for us, it shouldn't be too much of a problem in the grand scheme of things. Patients will still have blood tests when a change in meds/meds monitoring indicates it, for example. We're one sub-specialty within a massive specialty within a single Trust, and these checks are routine - if an abnormal result is ever picked up, the GP takes over and follows it up, not us. Our patients generally don't have/get physical health problems, comparative to other specialties. This doesn't mean it never happens, though.

However, I dread to think how this is going to affect different specialties and their patients.

And this is just the beginning. It is going to get worse. Today its blood test tubes, tomorrow it could be something far worse.

And the thing that really boils my blood—the thing that has me furious and almost incandescent with rage—is the fact that this was wholly avoidable. This has happened because the super rich want to get richer, and they took advantage of and manipulated a percentage of the population that was already budding and building up on its xenophobia and obscene nationalism.

Fuck the Tories, and fuck anyone who voted for Brexit.

Varympompi on fire, photographed by Kosmas Koumianos

Greece is currently battling over 100 fires and needs every bit of help she can get. Over the last couple of weeks Greece has been experiencing its worst heatwave in more than three decades, temperatures reached 45°C in some regions and have dried out our very dense pine forests making it very easy for the fire to spread very fast. Hundreds of houses and many villages have been destroyed by the blazes in the island of Evia, the northern suburbs of Athens and the Peloponnese (flames have even threatened Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games). Athens is engulfed in smoke, the Greek health authority reported levels of up to 465 micrograms of fine dust per cubic meter in the city center, the EU limit is 50 micrograms. Thousands of people have fled their homes, thousands of animals have been burned alive or suffocated by the smoke and over 100.000 acres of forest land have been reduced to ashes.

Here are some ways you can help:

➔ If you are able to, please donate to the Hellenic Red Cross with the indication Πυρκαγιές or Wildfires :

Αρ. Λογ/σμού: 0026.0240.30.0201205013

IBAN: GR2602602400000300201205013

Swift Code: ERBKGRAAXXX

➔ You can support the reforestation in the affected areas by donating here

➔ You can also donate to our veterinary volunteers, this animal shelter or this shelter that help stray animals and animals that have been affected by the fire. The first shelter has been burned to the ground. Thankfully the animals are safe, but they need our help more than ever. 

If you are not able to contribute financially, I’d be very grateful if you would share this post by reblogging.

So that white woman who was harassing that black lady in that mall really told the black lady not to record her mental break down? Weaponizing white tears and mental illness. Like let's talk about how white people do use their mental health and gender in order to get out of situations.

The worst part about this is that the black woman who filmed this all got her TikTok account suspended and is in need of a lawyer.

Here's the link to her GoFundMe!

Here's the first video of the attack. You can find the rest on her account.

Her Twitter also explains some details.

Her name is MAMAAFRICA275. That's her Twitter name, and I can't find her actual name anywhere so I'm using this. Please help and support.

Update! Her name is Ijeoma Ukenta!
