If you speak languages other than English, I would really appreciate your help! It's been my goal to collect multi-lingual sources for covid news, science, and information, and I only speak a little Spanish, so it's hard for me to confirm that a source is alright or actually discussing covid in the dozens of other languages out there. If you speak another language and you spot some news, science, or other resources in a non-English language, please please please post the link to our archive. Guests can post. We have some basic rules and etiquette, but simply posting links with a quick description of their contents would help a lot.

“Mean girls all grow up to be nurses!”

“Mean girls all go into social work!”

“The mean girl to teacher pipeline!”

Y’all, these are just pink collar jobs. The reason you think there’s so many “mean girls” in these fields is because they’re all like 97% women. Of course some of them are gonna be assholes. There’s assholes everywhere.

We get it. Your job isn’t like other girls’ jobs. It’s a cool job.

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

At this point in think that D&D has more ardent support than lutheranism. And it's adherents are somehow even more annoying.

I tap the mic. “Most people don’t want to crawl down your chimney and steal your dog.”

the crowd murmurs uncertainly.

“If someone wants to steal your dog,” I continue, “there are easier ways to do that. They don’t have to crawl into a chimney.”

Murmuring intensifies. People stand in their seats and begin to boo.

“People disguising themselves as chimney sweepers and stealing dogs is not a rational fear,” I shout. “Literally anyone could steal your dog. Why make sweeping chimneys illegal?”

“I have a list of chimney sweeps who stole dogs from parks!” Someone yells, throwing a shoe.

“You seriously think no chimney sweepers could possibly ever steal from a home?” Another cries.

“Only a dog thief would even want to crawl into a chimney to begin with!” Says a third.

A single tear rolls down my cheek. They are all so fucking stupid

This is a metaphor

You know it’s serious when hundreds of beavers is begging you to see the day the earth blew up.

fascinated by this cafe whose decor seems to be primarily superman-centric except for three identical busts of what google reverse image search is telling me is the kid from black butler

forgetting to pick up a new prescription of SSRIs sucks because you’ll do things like cry on the bus to work because the A Goofy Movie soundtrack hit you in a particular way, ruminate for hours on whether or not your friends are mad at you, and/or spend a whole weekend on the couch and only getting up to use the toilet
