“You must never give in to despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.”
ATLA
The Sound of Music (1965) dir. Robert Wise
Since I’ve seen a lot of discussion about vandalizing Cybertrucks and Tesla plants to highlight Elon’s horrible everything including his increasing white supremacism, I cannot tell my fellow Gentiles enough to hold off on the swastikas. Yes I know that when you spray paint that on a Cybertruck what you’re saying is “your car is a Nazi car! You bought that from a Nazi!” but here’s the problem: you know who else likes to spray paint swastikas on stuff? Actual Nazis. And a random Jewish person won’t necessarily know the difference. So since there are infinite other ways to communicate that someone is a Nazi, you don’t need to include a swastika in there. If you’re legitimately anti-Nazi you care enough about Jews not to risk that.
you know what? Fuck you. *turns your strong and stoic and serious character into a crying, traumatized, whimpering, curled up mess in the floor*
Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally
for the love of god please listen to old users when we say this site works differently. that you can’t just sit around with a blank blog. make posts or reblog, but do something at least. this site works because we don’t have an unavoidable garbage algorithm forcefeeding us posts based on our likes. we do not need another fucking twitter, tiktok or instagram.

I’m seeing a bunch of posts that make me think most USAmericans don’t know about The No Surprises Act.
It was passed in 2021 (thank you Biden) and essentially states that if you don’t have insurance or your insurance doesn’t cover a service you need (or want) you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of care. (If your insurance does cover the service, you should be able to estimate the cost of care based on your deductible and co-pay.)
As a healthcare provider who does not accept any insurance, I am very careful to not violate The No Surprises Act. Why? Because for every penny more than $400 that the Good Faith Estimate was “off” (or if it wasn’t provided), you are entitled to a refund for that amount.
Y’all. Ask for a Good Faith Estimate. Get it in writing. Compare it to what you are paying. If you are not provided an estimate or if it’s wrong by more than $400, demand a refund.
Hey! You! Did hearing about Trump getting nearly whacked freak you out? Are you now worried about the conservatives being even more riled for the election? Did you know that there is something you can do about that fear?
With this one easy trick you can help keep fascism from winning!
Complacency is death. Every MAGA you know will undeniably be rushing to the voting booths come November. This should make you scared. Now, more than ever, you have to VOTE.
