you could curse a police officer out, kick their car, throw a temper tantrum and throw trash. and that still doesnt mean they get to kill you. what the fuck is wrong with yall? why do you think police get some special license to kill when they get disrespected?

if they cant do their job without murdering unarmed people, they dont deserve their badge, or anyones respect.

Except it isn’t always that simple.

Except it literally is. I deal with verbal and emotional abuse daily at my job. I get disrespected daily. I’ve had customers throw things at me. Not one of those situations have I ever felt the need to pull a gun on them and shoot them. In fact, I am expected to tolerate that kind of abuse with a smile and often times those people get rewarded for their behavior.

If a cop can’t deal with being disrespected without murdering people then they don’t need to be a fucking cop.

honestly i have saved a lot of hassle by specifically requesting to be treated by female medical professionals whenever possible

to clarify

  • there are plenty of good (and mediocre, and lousy) medical professionals of any gender. 
  • institutional sexism is a big problem in healthcare. big problem. huge. also racism & other types of discrimination. women and minorities are statistically likely to receive worse care.
    • yes, female health professionals (like all women) are also capable of perpetuating sexism.
  • if you are perceived female, requesting that female professionals handle your care is a useful way to lower the odds that medical gender bias will get in the way of your treatment. 

and here’s an article on how statistically female doctors have better patient outcomes & lower mortality rates (no matter the gender of the patient). the patients with the highest mortality rates? women treated by male doctors. one reason for this: female practitioners tend to spend more time listening to their patients, and are less likely to dismiss patient concerns

the final takeaway: whatever the gender, find a doctor who listens.

please reblog this version so people don’t get defensive. i’m not bashing on men, this is based on personal experience, research, and genuine concern. 

the notes on this post are terrifying. y’all stay safe.

Me, in tears, halfway through writing a 300 word essay: I can’t do this anymore

Person on A03 who’s writing for fun:

Inconvenient Truth: these are the same person

FUN FACT (I shall shout this for every psychology thing I’m spouting from now on. beware the fun facts if you hate being knowledgeable about psychology.)

People are more willing and able to do things that they are intrinsically motivated to do (and often do them better). Intrinsic motivation being, that they enjoy it.

Extrinsic motivation, such as getting good grades, money, award, etc, is… (subjectively) a good source of motivation. HOWEVER, if you already are intrinsically motivated, and you add extrinsic motivation, you are less likely to be willing to perform that activity as well/as often.

The truth is that, a 300 word essay for school is extrinsically motivated and you get easily annoyed/frustrated/tired with/of it, while the 1,920,265 word work that you’re doing for fun is- just that, fun. Intrinsically motivated.

(You can also turn extrinsically motivated activities into intrinsically motivated ones and people become more likely to do it, do it better, and have more fun doing so! Just be careful not to turn your intrinsically motivated activities into extrinsically motivated ones….)

Is this why if you were planning to do something but someone tells you to do it you suddenly don’t want to do it?

Hummmmmmm…. partly. It also helps if you A: don’t like the person that told you to do it B: Didn’t actually wanna do the task in the first place C: are a contradictory person who hates being told what to do. D: a few other random things that I’m kinda blanking on rn.

But yes. It can certainly be a factor.

Hey folks, another big recall just hit the states, for both refrigerated and frozen products. Read up, and be careful out there!

And if you need to stay updated, FoodSafety.gov has an RSS feed listed under Recalls & Alerts > Get Automatic Alerts.

now i gotta go thru my fridge

I love living in a country where every three days the FDA or the CDC has to announce which foods will kill us this week and which ones won’t.

This is a possible listeria outbreak, it’s no joke

Please check the food in your fridge.

Just a reminder, but you do not need to “earn” being tired.

You’re allowed to be tired, even if you haven’t “done” anything and you’re allowed to be tired even if you did less than someone else.

Being tired is a normal thing your body does for a whole plethora of reasons, and is a basic bodily function. You don’t need to “earn” basic bodily functions, no matter what anyone else tells you.

hey hey hey this is really important, especially as a reminder to people with disorders that cause chronic exhaustion.

And if anyone tells you you’re not allowed to be tired, seriously, break their nose and go take a nap.

Your honor! Please direct your attention towards the manga.

As you can see there are small pieces of paper sticking out of every volume.

But no such paper is sticking out of the Batman comic.

The reason? The Batman book doesn’t belong to the library. The photographer put it there to take a picture.

Once again making hasty assumptions, Wright?

First of all, I’d like to direct the court’s attention to this particular spot, in the top right-hand corner.

Notice how the words are blocking the top of the Batman book.

With this in mind, how can you claim that there is “no such paper sticking out of the Batman comic”?!

Say whaaaat?

Well uhm

Look at the size of the paper pieces, they’re all sticking pretty far out.

If there was paper in the batman comic, it would be big enough to stick up over the text.

And while gravity does exist, it probably won’t make the paper do a 90 degree turn and just lean horisontally left at the middle.

Still grasping for straws, Wright?

Hypothetically, if there were a paper there, this picture would not be able to prove its presence. I’ve taken the liberty of drawing a diagram to illustrate my point. We are faced with three possibilities. It is possible that (1) the paper was simply tucked in deeper than the others.

Paper is a soft material, Wright. It’s not unreasonable for it to do a (2) 90 degree turn. 

Or perhaps, (3) a paper does not exist there at all. 

Either way, you cannot prove your client innocent without sufficient evidence.  

Which, of course, is impossible thanks to the obtrusive words.

I’m sorry Edgeworth.

I concede that I can’t disprove theory 1

But the image you submited for theory 2 is contradictory.

Look at the tilt of the other papers. They clearly prove how much the paper would tilt.

And theory 3 is my point! Why would the library’s book not have this piece of paper when the other library books do?

While you still have thory 1, there is another contradiction.

The books are not in alphabetical order, this proves that the batman comic was placed there specifically for the picture!

Ack.

(Perhaps I should’ve left the artistry to the forensic artist…)

Now hold it right there! It doesn’t matter which direction the paper is going because it’s impossible to prove it even exists!

Those theories are all the same! We do not have enough information to prove them. There could be an infinite amount of papers in there for all we know. I simply presented them only so that the court could better understand your baseless conjecture!

… I suppose the order of the books do seem out of the ordinary. However, therein lies not just one possibility. Clearly, those are Japanese graphic novels, also known as “manga”. And the Batman comic book is a graphic novel, too, no?

Seeing as it currently has only graphic novels in the shelf, it is possible that any other novels have simply not yet been restocked. Asserting whether or not this effect was deliberate is useless– there is no way of knowing if the photographer and the captioner are the same person, let alone their involvement in this picture.

Face it Wright, you can’t prove any of these groundless accusations!

Did everyone just ignore the library sticker?

Guys. Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!!!!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!

  • Article 13 just got passed.
  1. Article 13 just got passed.

I don’t know if I’ve said it enough. So…

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

I have been on tumblr all morning and haven’t seen one post about it yet! I don’t understand how!

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)

They’re voting on it one last time in January 2019, but that’s barely any time to change anything!!!!

You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.

If you’re outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!

You’d need a license for everything!!!!

And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.

No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!

Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.

Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).

I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!

I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.

Keep reading

I don’t live in Europe but this needs to be spread

I’m spreading this because this is greatly unsettling to me. I live in europe and really can’t imagine how the future would look like.

I don’t live in Europe but I signed the petition and am signal boosting for all my EU pals. Call your MEPs!

Because they still have to vote for it two more times.. maybe .. that’s why?

All you Americans who are saying “I dont live in europe, but…”

You do understand how the internet *works*, right? You *WILL* feel the backlash from this if things go through the way they are going now.

this needs to be spread. article 13 will effect the world.
