Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.
i like this trait!
two perks i made about me and my bff under the cut
growing up bisexual, i know what it’s like to be rejected twice in a row. that’s why this pride i’ve partnered with marvel’s morbius
For y’all who don’t know where this comes from:
Tuskegee—TDLR; “untreated syphillis in the negro male.” Men were promised free health insurance for participating. They did not get it, and many died. This study was conducted by the CDC at Tuskegee University, a university founded by a black man. Years later, they were given that free health insurance, and promised it would pass on through generations. The last person covered under it died in 2004 if I remember right.
Henrietta Lacks—Doctors snatched her cells without asking. Her cells didn’t die, and are still used today. She died in that hospital (John Hopkins), and no one in her family saw a dime.
J.Marion Sims (gynecologist)—he experimented on enslaved women, without anesthesia (of course).
Plus Forced sterilization in the 1900s targeted mostly black women, or people deemed mentally “unfit” to be a mother.
Oh, and racial medical bias today.
Like many of this country’s finest institutions. (x)

I want to prove a point to a coworker of mine.
This really improved the quality of my day. By seeing how much worse it could be, I mean. And I think they meant a yaoi bunt.

Peter: WAIT! PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT MY LAPTOP!
Erik: Why?
Peter: I'm... an adult. And I do... adult things on there...
Charles: I see... No need to be ashamed. That’s a basic physical need for kids of your age.
Erik:
Charles: Erik, don’t snoop around. You are violating your child’s privacy.
Erik, not listening: This is a buzzfeed quiz?
Peter: *forcefully shutting laptop* WHICH DISNEY PRINCESS I AM IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
A fun way to get yourself to do chores when you have adhd is to simulate a sense of panic by setting horrible deadlines that fit into other things that you’re doing.
For example, you set up a kettle of water to boil for your tea. Quick! Wipe down the whole counter before it’s done boiling, for the love of god you’re running out of time! Wipe it down! The water is almost boiling.
The water is boiling and your counter is clean. Now set your timer for your tea for three minutes and of my god there’s cups in your room! Quick! Get all the cups from everywhere in the house! Run! You’ve only got three minutes! Get all the dishes into the kitchen!
Oh would you look at that. You got all the dishes in the sink and now your tea is ready. Nice. Now you can chill with your tea.
I’ve found that little stuff like that helps me. Forcing myself into unexpected last minute deadlines. It fills up empty space and my house is a little bit cleaner.
