Pro tip! If u have OCD, that genre of advice stuff that's like "if youre questioning whether youre X, you probably are" is not for you and is in fact poison!!!

“idk country music makes me feel uneasy, uhhh i never really liked disco tbh, something about house is off to me…..jazz is just so annoying, why would anyone want to listen to the blues? i cant stand rap its a little too scary“ you are displaying a pattern here, these thoughts you are having are not original or formed in a bubble i promise you, theres a underlying reason you somehow have a knee jerk reaction to all of these genres and its not just “personal taste”

"this character is so specifically coded as [x] idk how the author can tell us that it was unintentional" tbh most of the time it's probably something a lot simpler than the author being cowardly or duplicitous and not wanting to admit they wrote a certain kind of character, they likely just based that trait on someone they know (or themselves lol) and didn't consciously realize that trait was in any way non-average or implied anything else. it's still free real estate dgmw, if the text suggests that a character is (for example) super mega transgender then the text suggests that character is super mega transgender, but it doesn't necessarily mean the author knew that the text was suggesting that the character is super mega transgender.

Still the greatest magazine cover of all time. Why are they framed in shadow. Why is the text so stark. Why is this being framed like the poster with the villains on it for a superhero movie. This summer: a new sexual identity emerges. The bisexuals will change the hierarchy of the DC Universe forever

Found this news article randomly and can i just say GIVE HER HER FUCKING MONEY BACK RIGHT NOW.

I've seen an increasing number of posts talking about carrying documentation with you at all times, which I think is an understandable instinct, in light of everything. That said, there's something that's often being left out of these conversations, and it's vitally important that people know about it, so this is a PSA:

DO NOT carry your Social Security card literally anywhere, except to specific appointments where you actually need it.

I mean it. Carry a driver's license or state ID. Carry an expired passport (which is sufficient to prove citizenship in most cases). Carry an active passport. You can even carry a birth certificate on your person if you have a certified copy and feel like you absolutely need it – but your Social Security card belongs in a safety deposit box. I am being so serious right now. I am grabbing you by the shoulders and looking intently into your soul and begging you to store your Social Security card somewhere safe.

This is not even about the risk of identity theft, to be clear. This is because the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004 limits the number of replacement Social Security cards to three per year and ten in a lifetime, beginning with cards issued on or after December 17, 2005.

Yes, ten (10!!!) cards is an extremely small number of replacement cards for a person's entire life – especially considering that there is no minimum age for a child to get a Social Security card, and so if you have forgetful or irresponsible parents, it's possible that you've already gone through some of those ten because they lost it and requested a replacement cards before you were a legal adult. Yes, that is a hard limit – it isn't one of those "the first x are cheaper and then they get way more expensive and annoying to replace" situations. Your application for a replacement Social Security card will actually be outright rejected if you have replaced it ten times before. And yes, it's stupid as hell. This is one of the many, many horrible laws that were passed after 9/11 when no one was paying attention, because for a hot minute there people would vote for the Kick Puppies For No Reason Act, just so long as it had "Terrorism Prevention" in its name.

Your life will be very, very fucked if you ever need an 11th Social Security card. Technically, there is a hardship exception, but it requires a letter from a third party, such as a state public assistance agency or an employer, and it takes time to process, and it's not at all guaranteed. In many situations where you might need or want a social security card, you will simply be shit out of luck. Just last year, one of my relatives witnessed a woman reduced to tears in the local Social Security office, because she had exceeded the limit and could not get another one and was going to lose a job opportunity because of it – and the administrator she was talking to had to sadly tell her that there was simply nothing that he could legally do to help. You do not want to be in that situation, believe me.

Do not carry your Social Security card around with you.

I'll say it again:

Do not carry your Social Security card around with you.

I am literally begging you, please keep this particular document safe somewhere that it is impossible for you to lose it.
