I started dialysis a few months ago, after ending up in hospital with a creatinine of 15.4.

And I’m sitting here, looking at this machine that leashes me each evening, and it’s a little miracle of science that I’m alive, that I can continue to be alive, in the comforts of my own home, with a dedicated team of professionals available 24/7 to support me: I have doctors, nurses, a dietitian, a social worker, a finance/insurance coordinator…and then the transplant team is even bigger. It’s wild. Truck drivers who come into the house and stack boxes for me, even.

And in the U.S. it’s covered immediately with Medicare, by federal law. Because I’d die without it.

So it can be done. This could be how we handle diabetes. Cancers. This could extend to others, who will die without intervention.

So I am so very lucky(?) to have a terminal chronic disease that is handled like this. Don’t get me wrong, having any chronic illness is exhausting, and there are nights when I feel burdened at the thought of hooking up, but then I remind myself how damn lucky I am (for both the technology and the supports) and then I am enraged that it isn’t common sense for a government to not let its population just die from treatable things…

No bc what the fuck is this introduced OK bill (HB3084)??? Kids who pretend to be animals get kicked out of participating in school and extracurriculars? These people are so against fun and whimsy. Kids will roleplay critters and warrior cats. Maybe a kid wants to wear cat ears. It’s all harmless fun. What the hell. This is stupid and not okay! CALLING ANIMAL CONTROL ON THEM? HOW IS THIS NOT SATIRE!! Oklahoma is one of the worst ranked states in education, and THIS is what their government is worried about. Absolutely stupid. If you’re in OK tell your representatives that this is dumb and pressure them to vote against it.

i hate white women honestly. y’all are not our allies, you don’t care about actually helping fight the misogyny we face, you care about using it as a guise to be racist while looking down at us & our cultures & our countries and thinking you’re superior and i’m so sick of it. if ur people didn’t exploit and harm all of us then you wouldn’t be so far ahead and yet you use your society having progressed further than ours to reinforce the idea that ur superior.. there’s a reason we couldn’t progress and it’s not that you’re superior to us. god.

#my people tried so hard to have a democracy and it was ur stupid weapons & governments that made sure we couldn’t have that #so many nations in my region were trying to move forward #islamists weren’t even prominent a couple of decades ago and u fucking funded them #then you pointed at the islamists and said ‘look? look how inferior brown people are?’

on the flip side of this whole text post. talking with europeans on the internet can be really fun sometimes because you’ll be like yeah i was in a school shooting last year and it was one of the most terrible things i’ve lived through and i’m pretty sure it will happen to me again at some point and sometimes they’ll reply well it’s just that you’re all too stupid to figure out how to solve those so it’s maybe actually kind of your fault? you deserve it until you make it stop. why can’t you see that it’s so easy

like FUCK why didn’t i think of that??? hold on while i dissolve the senate pack the courts scour the gun lobby off the face of the earth and eliminate 350 years of settler colonialist gun culture. easy.

#the american government is not stupid. it is evil #same with healthcare. not stupid. evil and deeply reactionary #i’ll delete this later i’ve just heard so many insufferably smug takes like this in my life and have not been able to take it since last ur

Expanding on the Obito-is-smart-actually-he's-just-stupid-around-Kakashi AU from here, because it haunts me and I have many thoughts about it. (Note: while most of that can be interpreted as headcanon, and is an explanation of canon events, this post goes into an actual AU version, where canon events aren't followed, because I am gay and sad and cannot take it anymore.)

Normal Obito has an Actual Plan of things he wants to do when he becomes Hokage, including making sure no one clan can be discriminated against in law, building trade relations with other shinobi nations to create actual lasting alliances not built on war (like Kakashi post-canon lol), and actually doing something about the Hyuuga hierarchy stuff, with the help of Hiashi and Hizashi, who he's already created a sort-of-alliance with.

Obito-around-Kakashi is completely unable to articulate this, and instead ends up blurting out things like "fancy hat" and "people will like me," and looking like an indecisive fool who doesn't know what he's doing. Everyone who's interacted with Obito outside of Kakashi believes he can do it, and would do a good job. Unfortunately, Obito spends A Lot of time around Kakashi, including interacting with Most People, so the number who believe he'd make a good Hokage is... distressingly small.

One would think that, given he was able to function and activate a two-tomoe sharingan when Kakashi wasn't looking, he would be able to dodge the boulder fine while Kakashi was knocked out. Unfortunately, he'd just grabbed Kakashi to throw him out of the way, and without Protecting Kakashi being a direct motivator, holding Kakashi in his arms, even just to throw him out of the way, is enough to make Obito's brain stall completely for long enough to get canon'd.

Rin survives becoming a jinchuuriki because Obito trips and crashes wildly into the clearing when he sees Kakashi, and incidentally he ends up crashing into Rin just before she can jump in front of chidori. Unfortunately, Kakashi sees Obito and gets distracted long enough for an enemy to land a blow, and Obito, intelligence fully impaired by proximity to Kakashi, thinks Kakashi is dead. Mangekyo-activation and nigh-instantaneous death of every enemy shinobi in the vicinity ensues. And then Rin heals Kakashi. Because he's Not Dead.

The combination of passed-out Kakashi and Must-Protect-Precious-People allows Obito to tell Rin that Kushina's a jinchuuriki too (he got suspicious bc of the floating hair, and Kushina humored him when he asked), and her and Minato should be able to do something about the seal of the Sanbi. Needless to say, she's rather happy to stay alive and not have to horrifically traumatize one of her precious people.

#Kakashi to Obito: you're stupid but I love you. #Obito internally: I'm so in love with you and also I'm reforming the government and plan to reshape our society so that what happened #to your father can't happen again #and so that five-year-olds can't be made legal adults and get horrifically traumatized by the frontlines like you were #I would burn the world for you but you wouldn't like that so I'll just reform it instead #Obito externally: neat. #nurt #proximity to kakashi au #kakaobi #kakashi #naruto #obikaka #kkob #obkk #obito #hatake kakashi #kakashi x obito #uchiha obito #tobito

You ever just get consumed by thoughts of an AU of your AU?

#Fluent Freshman AU #the Fluent Freshman AU....AU #Where Smith through a series of errors within both the school system and the government's switch to digital #is marked down as 2 years older #and no one notices #And Smith doesn't mention it to nobody because he wants OUT #And ends up going to PSU the same year as one Neil Josten #AFTG AU #I have so many stupid scenes in my head for it

Sometimes forget that I've carefully cultivated my tumblr experience so it's full of people who have seen the rise and fall of a hundred fandoms and their associated drama, so now they want to just sit in their corner of the internet like a grandparent that's raised 10 kids and just wants to spend their golden years feeding birds and doing sudokus

And then I go on tiktok and see people who are fully convinced that massive media corporations are going to make their gay OTPs canon, who fully believe that the fandom's nuanced theories about the next season must be true, and I realise how new the fandom over on tiktok is. The light is still in their eyes. Makes me feel like a kid again.

#an incredibly stupid kid but a kid nevertheless #my posts #its not their fault that media corporations are trying to cut corners and make a profit and that often results in predictable #or lazy writing #and they wouldn't do something groundbreaking when they could put in half the effort and still make bank #realising how bitter i sound #really do feel like someone's grandma preaching at the kids for daring to believe in the government lmao #also i think its Very Obvious what fandom this post is about oop

it's been said before, but any response to conspiratorial thinking that doesn't address the very real phenomenon of government- & industry-sponsored and promulgated disinformation (for the ends of making money, promoting obedience in the guise of 'patriotism,' justifying eugenics &c.) is not a coherent, incisive, or thorough response to conspiratorial thinking

#like yeah I wonder why Black usamericans don't trust the usa's government. mystery #wonder why women don't trust doctors. I guess those bitches are just stupid

I just think that if you pay a subscription for a service it should be illegal to then have pop-ups asking you to pay for more stuff. I want to kill intuit with hammers

#this is about quickbooks #intuit most evil of companies #unfortunately if you want to have your accounting work with pretty much any other person #like accountants or tax people #you just....have to have intuit! #and every time I log in they're like WOUDL YOU LIKE TO PAY A MILLION DOLLARS TO HAVE US DO YOUR TAXES #no intuit I would not! #I have your stupid service so I can have smart humans do my taxes! #I guess I could personally do my accounting by hand #but....my god I would fuck up so much #the ONE year I did my own taxes I got audited lol #(this is not to scare people about doing their own taxes - if you have a normal ass job you can do it) #(my taxes are decently complicated) #(and pls use the government's new service instead of evil intuit's dark patterning) #lauren says things #anyway

absolutely wild to me that your whole life is defined by exams you took when you were seventeen. their brains are not even fully developed yet. please pick a lane, adults. you dismiss their words. you call young people stupid and unable or not old enough to have good opinions or make choices or participate in the choosing of their own futures and yet you define their futures by one little test. well guess what an exam has a fuckton of choices and if they can't be trusted to have an opinion on their own lives then maybe they can't be trusted to make academic choices on a test either. either you give us a voice or you will not hear until it's too late

#by that i mean we will overthrow the government #get in losers we're going to overthrow the government #i am british so i do mean a levels/gcse's #i am not against exams or school but please #this doesn't just go for teenagers this goes for all young people- like late twenties early thirties their opinions get dismissed bc of age #but not too young for people to harrass/assault/take advantage of? #the people in charge don't care about the things that matter #school #exams #gcse #government #fuck the government #this is about kosa #STOP RESTRICTING FREEDOM #stop kosa #kosa #i'm not even from the usa but this is horrific #do you realise how stupid you sound telling teens they can't make their own choices then giving a forty page test on random unrelated shit #yeah no if i can't have an opinion how am i supposed to do well on tests?

This guy's L to W ratio is a solid 5:1 rn

#one piece #pretty funny for his intro to be like ''he became a warlord after delivering a hundred still-beating pirate hearts to the world government' #and then proceed to have him get terrorised by the straw hats and have his ass get beat for the next thirty episodes #CJ's op watch-through #op #trafalgar law #i thought this would be USOPP's Terrible. Horrible. No Good. Very Bad Day. but law is really outdoing him here #he even lost his stupid hat like come on man that's just cruel #the 1 is beating smoker #i would include securing an alliance with luffy as a W but i can only predict the chaos he's going to suffer for the next 3 arcs for that
