TW: medical

Why are whumpees always believed when they go to the ER? Where are the whumpees who get triaged wrong and end up waiting hours or days before they are seen, their condition steadily deteriorating all the while? Where are the whumpees who get sent home after a quick checkup only to end up in an ambulance or a hearse days later? Where are the whumpees who were promised a follow up or referral and never got the call?

I know the healthcare system is broken as fuck here but you can’t tell me it’s not common for people to wait years or at least months for referrals and appointments. This is such a whump opportunity so why aren’t we snatching it?

Just waiting on hold for an hour and two minutes with the hospital to learn that the reason I haven't been sent an appointment by 4th September as the letter had indicated, and why I can't book an appointment myself now (as the letter also indicated) is that the wait list for routine ENT appointments is 14 months.

I can try to go through my GP for an expedited appointment letter which would probably get me an urgent appointment in 2-3 months, but otherwise I just....wait until this time next year. I don't think it's really urgent (some kinda weird pulsatile tinnitus thing but I've had a head CT and a neuro test and they were fine) so...guess I'm waiting.

From the very bottom of my heart, fuck the Tories for what they've done to the NHS. It was not like this when I moved here. The deterioration has been so visible.

#politics #uk politics #health #nhs #wait times #I honestly want to hurt them #they are so happy to hurt disabled people and immigrants and the poor and trans people and they are so damn GLEEFUL about it #they are so *delighted* with themselves for stealing our tax money and spitting in our faces #they're *amused* by all the people they've killed and the suffering they've caused #I don't know how to be civil about that #I just don't

A fun game for you all- look up wait times in your local A & E. Compare the wait times to the current wait times in “the queue”. Is it quicker to get seen by medical staff, or quicker to see the queen’s corpse?

Queue tracker here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJxDwDzAwEs

For me, A and E is 9 hours, the Queue is 16 hours, so the Queue is winning, but only just. (9.30am)

🌴 I hate how everyone completely forgets a mun and muse exists if they're not on the dash every day or week. It's like nobody has fucking object permanence and everyone is here for instant gratification, so if they don't get it from a muse within a short short time frame, they subconsciously go I don't care any more and they can't even stay interested. Not all of us shitpost every day, or make content we can throw out every day or week, some of us take a lot longer because we want it to be as detailed and as quality as we can. If I like someone's muse I'll think of them a lot, and I definitely don't lose interest after a week or month especially if they take a hiatus. Do people lose interest in a fanfic that doesn't update every few days or weeks? In the characters? Roleplayers need to slow tf down, and relearn how to stay engaged with things even if they don't get that thing for a few days. Because social media has obviously killed that ability. No, I'm not talking about people with ADHD who might jump on this post and go "but but", I'm talking about everyone else who is only incapable of holding things because they let social media train them into it, and no, I'm not talking about people who lose interest in one-liners that don't get a reply for a week, I'm talking about actual muse and character interest.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

#like im not gonna name names but i can think of at least 3 channels #where they stopped posting short form content and went #wait the patreon is paying my rent im no longer a slave to the algorithm gods #HELL YEAH TIME TO SPEND 5+ MONTHS PUTTING TOGETHER A 3+ HOUR VIDEO #and i eat that shit up every time

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies” #serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited... #i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest. #it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!' #'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members... #..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)' #anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language? #maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value” #and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs) #happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills) #and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on... #...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works? #beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

process of drawing an OC: - you design them - you get attached to them - their hair gets bigger without you realizing it

#it's always the hair #tbd maybe LOL #one of my OCs rn their hair keeps getting longer every time i draw it... #i'm tryna keep it to their shoulder blades but at some point it started reaching their hips and i was like. Wait.

#ive been thinking about being in love with a ghost. has the ghost been waiting all this time? do you keep the ghost there? if the ghost #leaves first youre left alone.. but the ghost left life first and has been alone all this time.... #idk if im making sense.... #🌬️

Me, a liar: Actually, the wait time on doll items is teaching me to practice delayed gratification and patience. The wait is totally a learning experience ohohohoho

The truth: So I bought another doll, a few dresses, some hair for wig making, some shoes, and some eyes while waiting for the doll because my brain needs dopamine and I have adhd

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

#i said i wont ever rant about this bc it's unseemly but HONESTLY. #you simply cannot complain about not having enough of A or B or C and then never reblog / interact with the content you love. #If you LOVE something you cannot just leave a like and silently wait for more to happen #I know countless of content creators that simply stopped doing art/writing fic/making edits #You need to understand that fandom content is made FOR the fandom FOR the engagement FOR the entertainment and fun it makes. #If a content creator does not have fun IN the fandom-- why would they spend the scares free time they have on making this content? #And we're not talking about things that you don't like-- no one expects you to reblog things you don't like. #However I think it's safe to say that when a post has more than 5k it's not some random shitpost with no value. #tumblr issues #tumblr #content creators #buns.txt #something something please don't starve your local clowns

Great news for uninsured adults in the USA who want a COVID-19 booster! It now appears that ALL CVS locations are now active participants in the Bridge Access Program. The Bridge Access Program gives out free Covid-19 vaccinations to 18+ adults who otherwise can't afford one, so if you have a CVS near you, please go get one! For others who don't have a CVS near them, please go to vaccines.gov, click on "Find Covid-19 vaccines", fill out which vaccines you prefer (you can mix different vaccines if you have to so i reccomend just marking all of them for the age groups you need), and when the next page loads mark the "Bridge Access Program Participant" option to see only locations that are Bridge Access Program participants. Hopefully, other places that aren't CVS will start participating soon, so just check back every so often to see if there are any updates. The CDC Bridge Access Program website also has more details on what locations will be participating, but only CVS is appearing as an active participant on the vaccines.gov location finder at the moment.

#covid19 #covid #coronavirus #vaccines #covid vaccine #bridge access program #CDC #signal boost #please share #coronavirus vaccine #covid19 vaccine #covid 19 vaccine #novavax #moderna #pfizer #also interesting side note but i havent been able to find any vaccine other than novavax near me #perhaps this is just a regional thing or maybe novavax is cheaper to make so those are the most common? #anyway thats why i made sure to tell people its okay to mix up because im going to have to bc i got moderna every other time lol #mayyybe other vaccines will become available in the future??? but ive had close family catch covid left and right so im not waiting #also does anyone know why the bridge program only bridges access to 18 or older individuals? #like i knew the gov didnt care about children but god damn lmao

🌴 It doesn't matter how excited you are or you're new to rp, you need to learn everyone isn't constantly online. We have jobs, responsibilities, and struggles we're not willing to say on a public platform. There's also timezones to consider. Unfollowing after we can't reply back after a few hours is utterly disrespectful.
