Paid Medical Gaslighting Survey!
Hey y'all! If you...
Are over the age of 18
Currently live in the U.S.
Have 10 minutes and want a $10 gift card
...then please consider taking my survey! For my PhD dissertation, I'm looking at how people WITH vs people WITHOUT chronic illnesses (such as POTS, endometriosis, fibromyalgia) are treated by healthcare providers. With this work, I hope to create a measurable scale for medical gaslighting so that it can be recognized and addressed.
If you're over 18 and live in the U.S., you most likely qualify whether you have a chronic illness or not! This is an IRB-approved study, so all info can be found by clicking the link below. Reblogs also help! Thank you!
Survey link!
#no free response answers required!#(i know that always makes it harder for me to participate so it's good to know)#there is free response AVAILABLE to talk abt ur experiences but u dont have to

linuxposting probably isn't reassuring anyone that linux is actually super easy to switch to but i promise the only reason i'm having issues is that i'm a weird edge case trying to do weird shit, if i were just browsing the internet and writing and streaming music from a service (or playing it off my own computer) absolutely none of these things would be issues. mint worked absolutely great out of the box and was instantly usable. i just have compulsive edge case disease.
#i also have compulsive edge case disease and i really do need to get around to fucking around w linux#maybe i'll slap another hard drive in the gaming pc and dual boot#(specifically another hard drive bc i need the storage space i do know how to dual boot on a single drive)#(my poor macbook air had a windows partition for a while before i got the gaming rig)#also want to get back to the NAS project i got overwhelmed and quit working on#computer shit is SO much more stressful when it involves other people if i was just doing it for myself it would be easy#well not easy but. there's more leeway for the fuck around and find out method

on one hand it’s often too much for my animal brain to know about so many people and events all over the world but on the other hand today on my socials I posted a video foraging mushrooms and one of my mutuals who liked it in California posted a video sewing a 17th century dress reproduction from an original piece and one of my other mutuals who liked it in Alaska posted a video celebrating his town bringing in an entire whale and another of my mutuals who liked it in Ireland posted about their efforts removing invasive plants from a pasture and I’m like wow we all lived such different days on the same day all around the world and i got to see all of their smiles today and we all got to share in all those things from so far away. and life is beautiful and the world is beautiful and its people are so beautiful

Deradicalization isn't just for people who got into MAGA BS.
It's for your leftist buddy who got in with a leftist group that promotes eugenics.
It's for your feminist friend who was lured into radical feminism with "divine feminine" rhetoric.
It's for you when you fall into something that you thought you were too smart for, because it never crossed your mind that fascism could be repackaged in a way that would appeal to you.

Hey, scam PSA: I just got a call about missing jury duty for a grand jury trial, and while I was suspicious, the scammer was extremely convincing. It started out very reasonable, asking about why I had said I was going to go and didn’t show up, and said that the judge had issues two citations, one for contempt of court and one for failure to appear. Gave me citation numbers, badge number, name, asked me to write it all down. I got suspicious when they asked me for a bail payment before I’d even made it down there, and was pretty sure it was a scam when they said I couldn’t contact my lawyer without turning it into a criminal matter, and was ABSOLUTELY sure it was a scam when I saw their payment method, but. This scammer was extremely convincing and it was an extremely upsetting experience with him telling me that police would come and arrest me and if I came down to the station to make payment I’d be in jail for three days since I wanted to get a lawyer involved and that since no one was home with me I’d have to give my child into the custody of CPS. It sounds dumb writing it down, but they talk fast and scary and convincing. Be aware.
Incidentally, I spoke to “my lawyer” (my mom’s ex) and he said he nearly fell for it as well, a couple months ago, but called a criminal lawyer friend to make sure and by golly, a scam.
This is the first time I’ve nearly fallen for a scam call.
#scam#phone scams#yikes#the CPS threat is the real kicker in this one#anything they can say to scare you bad enough that you don't keep questioning

financial help for disabled queer couple
hi i am really sorry to do this and i know other people have much greater needs but i am totally out of financial cushion and worried about bills/rent this + next month
i am the sole supporter of two adults right now, as well as owing significant monetary support to our other roommate. i work full time but my qp partner is unable to find work that will keep him on. he's working with local disability services searching for a solution + applying to get on disability payments but we're in a really tight place in the meantime.
i do take commissions for art but am rather behind on some at the moment so please be patient if you're interested in one as i need to get thru my queue first.
otherwise if you're inspired to donate at all my paypal is @/jawillow and my venmo is @/jawschlegel

I love looking at the YouTube front page when I'm not logged in.
It's like catching a glimpse of the eighth circle of Hell full of famous people I've never heard of, all of whom are supposedly embroiled in an earth shattering scandal.
And then Firefox finishes logging me in and it's back to frolicking through the Shire.

Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.
