Anonymous A nurse huffs and rolls her eyes because you asked for the correct size blood pressure cuff instead of letting her crush your arm. Nurse strapping it on, velcro screaming: Hold still, this is going to pinch. You: That cuff is too small. It's going to hurt and give a falsely high reading. Can you get the large adult size? Nurse: We keep those in the back. It’ll only take a second, just deal with it. I don't have time to go hunting. You: It's not special equipment, it's the correct equipment for my body. Nurse: Look, your BP is probably high anyway because of your weight. You: My weight doesn't dictate your standard of care. Go get the correct cuff, or we can have the charge nurse explain to you why using the wrong medical equipment is a liability. Aftermath: She marched down the hall, brought the right cuff, and the reading was normal. Insight: Your body is never the problem. Their refusal to accommodate it is.

Endless propaganda has convinced Americans that bombs dropping in the Middle East is "normal." As if those families don't have jobs, school, hopes & dreams. As if every life lost isn't someone's entire universe.

There is a mythology the U.S. built around the American War in Vietnam. It goes like this: Young idealistic soldiers were sent into an unwinnable situation by confused politicians. They came home broken and unappreciated. It was a tragedy. A mistake. A lesson learned. Notice what that story does. It centers Americans. Their trauma. Their confusion. Their homecoming. Their feelings. In this story, the Vietnamese people are a backdrop. A jungle. An obstacle. An abstraction. Three million dead Vietnamese people are the scenery for a story about American self-discovery. They made hundreds of movies about Vietnam. The Deer Hunter. Apocalypse Now. Platoon. Full Metal Jacket. Born on the Fourth of July. Hamburger Hill. Count how many of them center a Vietnamese character with a full human life, a family, a name you remember after the credits roll. They turned our genocide into their coming-of-age story. They lost the war and still managed to make themselves the main character. And then, with extraordinary arrogance, they put their soldiers' names on a wall in Washington and call it a memorial, as if the dead to be mourned were the people who flew 10,000 miles to do the killing. Where is the wall for our three million? There isn't one. Because in their telling, we were never quite real enough to mourn.

@BellaBaddie__ German.

One language you wish you could speak fluently?

@khelouch @nocontextmemes Best high culture? The Japanese??

@nocontextmemes The Japanese have the best high culture, high trust society there currently is. To everybody saying they could bring it down or would abuse it. It's not the flex you think it is. You're the somalian now.

Mhm

A family will raise their daughter with zero concept of personal boundaries, privacy, or self-ownership — no part of her inner or outer world left just to herself, her “no” ignored, her space constantly accessed — and then suddenly expect her to exercise self-worth and firm sexual boundaries with men. Like, surprise. We actually have to teach and model these things for our children, or at least not actively erode them… that your body is yours, your inner world is yours, your discomfort matters, and your “no” will be respected. You can’t train someone to override themselves for years and then expect a clear, embodied “no” to emerge out of the blue one day.

If you do this for 30 days you will be unrecognizable: -Sleep 8+ hours -Drink 2L of water a day (high pH) -Get sun daily -No sugar -Read 30 min a day -Workout 3x a week -Capture someone, cut their face off, and sew it onto your face -Meditate for 10 min daily

These cunts think being white is an accomplishment.

What the fuck???

@Dexerto Yeah, once a dog is caught by the meat trade people, there's no escape. The original was a cute story, tho. Take care of your dogs, y'all.

The seven dogs who went viral for travelling over 17km together were actually 'chasing tail' according to a follow-up investigation The German Shepherd's owner revealed “After Sibao went into heat, it attracted many other dogs ... they just kept running farther and farther”

The Pentagon says only 23% of Gen Z is fit to serve. The rest are either obese, failing math, or already have a rap sheet. Turns out if you gut schools and subsidize corn syrup long enough, you accidentally pacifist-proof the entire country. Tactical genius.

@sibletos @Pans_Labyrinth1 @mluggy They're gossiping about a woman that has been cheating or that has been cheated on. A neighbor, maybe. I don't think it's about a son marrying someone from a different country nor about domestic violence. I'm not Turkish, but I know a few 🙃

@Pans_Labyrinth1 @mluggy What are they saying?? Or what do the gestures mean? I'm so invested lol

😅

That's it. I'm not going to fucking hikes with anybody ever again.

you can do it, baby 😂

Yes, we do. It's like having a forever 2 year old and that's why I have cats.

They got butlers. How nice!

Gonna try this with my cats but will dress them as cowboys. They ain't decent, tho.

@catsareblessing Decent Pyaari outside:

I'M OBSESSED I've watched this on loop 5 times
