“Must have reliable transportation” = “this is how we legally discriminate against poor people who take the bus”

The freak autistic girl who rambles about her interests and has 30 billion weird kinks does exist btw, it's just that she's usually also a little fat so nobody wants to hear it.

Seeing tumblr users tag their blorboposts with "gay panic" is making me insane. This term does not mean what you all think it means.

You know when your dog has something on their mouth that they're not supposed to?

i think that all the people who argue about gender by saying "the woke left cant even define a woman" need to get hit with the "who are you" question by a buddhist monk. no, thats your name, who are you. no thats your profession, who are YOU. no you fucking idiot thats your species, who are YOUU. dumb bitch u cant even define yourself

when i say “forever” i’m only referring to data that you either don’t need or actively want gone.  data you actually care about will disappear in seconds and somehow be fully unrecoverable.  this is due to an ancient and planet-wide curse that cannot be lifted.  thank you for studying computer science with me today

If you want a good object lesson about what we can and can't know about the past, we don't know Ea-Nasir was a dishonest merchant selling shoddy goods.

What we know is we have found a cache of complaint tablets about him selling low quality copper as high quality, in a site that was probably his own residence. We know multiple people complained he was a cheat. It's entirely possible they were right. It's also entirely possible that he kept these complaint letters as records of people he would no longer do business with, because they had made accusations and threats in order to bully him into giving them free copper. That is an equally valid interpretation of the evidence.

My point is not that we have maligned Ea-Nasir, my point is that thousands of years later, we do not and cannot know.

isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...

I JUST REALIZED MY MAIN PROBLEM WITH TRADITIONAL PAIN SCALES

they assume that pain = discomfort

so i was reading a post the ither day abt how you should rank your discomfort as well as your pain

and i just realized that that's kinda what i was tryna do whenever i ranked my pain in tge past

i was trying to smoosh my pain and discomfort levels into one number, and that just doesn't work for me

i'm in pain most of the time, but that doesn't mean i'm uncomfortable

i can be sitting down, comfy as can be, and have a 3 or 4 or 5 or higher pain rating

cause i'm in pain all the time

take my knees: they hurt p regularly, typically low level but it escalates quick. when my knees are at a 4 or 5, i'm perfectly comfortable.

this is something i'm used to and that ik how to deal with.

ADDITUONAL TANGENT BC I HAD THIS THOUGHT RIGHT NOW

traditional pain scales also are like "if you're in so much pain you can't move, you're a ten"

the levels are reliant on how they affect you physically, on how much they limit you

but i'm disabled and have chronic pain

when i'm at a zero pain level my actions are still limited, i still can't do some things or have to have supports

traditional pain scales are designed for abled people.

i can push through a 7 pain level.

i had dry socket, and it sucked. at the time i called it a 7.5, and so didn't go to the dentist for several days bc everyone i knew said it would be worse than that

and now i'm realizing that i was basing it off of abled people pain scales

i was physically capable of moving, eating, and generally going abt my day, so it couldn't be a 10

now that i'm thinking back, i'd call it a 10, or worse.

it was terrible, awful, agony.

it hurt to speak or touch my cheek, it hurt to chew or swallow, it damn near hurt to breathe

but i could power through it

it was the worst pain of my life

but i was physically capable of living my life, so it couldn't be as bad as i thought, right?

w r o n g

and when i got an abscess on the other side?

the only reason i went in any quicker is bc my cheek swole up to the size of a softball

(some of this problem is bc i have the tism and take some shit very literally, and the pain scale is smth i learned as a kid so i took it Extra LiterallyTM, but the tism is ALSO A DISABLING DISABILITY so, yaknow)

anyway, i digress

tldr; traditional pain scales are designed for abled people, and they rlly rlly do not work for me, at all
