Sometimes I see people from countries with public healthcare systems post videos that are like “This is the reality of socialized medicine. I had to wait in the ER with my sick baby for 4 hours.” “I had to wait 8 months to see a specialist. That’s egregious.” or “They didn’t have a bed for my loved one in mental health treatment.” and it’s like. Come to America babygirl. You can experience all of this and have your insurance deny it and pay thousands and thousands of dollars for it. Like I know healthcare systems in countries with public health can be bad but when I see someone imply they’re bad because the healthcare is universal, I want to jump through the screen and put my elbow on their throat. “The NHS is deeply flawed, therefore we should abolish it and go back to private healthcare. That will definitely make healthcare in this country better!” I am going to Kill You.

When I was 17, in the height of my teenage tumblr angst, post dashcon, I wrote the following in my journal:

“(In this case, the guillotine is the rumors of piss.) This feels like Viva la Vida by Coldplay.”

Anyway, I feel like this is the funniest thing I’ve ever said and I’ve decided this is what I’m going to cosplay to dashcon 2

did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”

[bohemiandragoness]

This is especially funny because they aren’t even right. Foxes *ARE* dogs.

[trojanhorse8-2]

No they aren’t.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

yes they are. because they are fluffye.

[trojanhorse8-2]

OK yes they are.

Dog

[utah-mountain-drifter]

Different family, but same order as @pictures-of-dogs

[zarabithia]

No, they are the same family. They are the same kingdom, phylum, order and family. They separate at the genus.

They’re a dog.

[birdsareblooming]

yeah they’re fluffye

[dacavendishtime]

theyre literally not dogs theyre not even fluffy. can we get science tumblr over hear or what!?

[birdsareblooming]

checkmate athiests

[ajarofpickledtears]

fluffye

[pa-pa-plasma]

okay but they literally are dogs, for those who are confused

[stele3]

If foxes are dogs, then so are wolves, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and several other extant and extinct species.

Behold! A dog.

[lemon-badgeress]

of course it’s a dog you buffoon. it’s fluffye.

[findingfeather]

Why on earth would someone think “BUT IF THEY’RE DOGS SO AR -”

Like yes of course wolves are dogs, where have you been. Jackals are excellent doggies! So are coyotes. Why is this confusing.

[theknightlywolfe]

I love that this is literally two completely different arguments running simultaneously.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

That guy up there who said they’re not even fluffy was thinking of sharks

[thebelovedlion]

sharks are also dogs. ravenous water dogs, but still dogs

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Sharks can NOT be dogs they are SMOOTH

i wonder what it is im running away from

all the times i sign up for that extra shift

offer to cover a double

spend my day off doing chores

spend every waking minute split between chores and doomscrolling

i wonder what it is im afraid to confront within myself

why it is that im scared to be alone with my own thoughts

what feelings am i afraid of?

is it the dread, that fear of living a life i never wanted to?

is it its cousin, the feeling that i will never be what others imagined i could be?

is life the never ending cycle of caretaking, cleaning, and working?

when i was fifteen i believe i had some premonition that this would be the life i would live as an adult.

i would lay in the wide plains of grass and look up at the endless sky, contented to be young, contented to be carefree. i was told i should appreciate childhood, and i did. i took in the clouds and the warmth of the sun and the prickling blades of the grass.

i ran barefoot, i really did, anywhere that i could, until i was about sixteen.

happy as i was, i also never expected i would live to be an adult. in the daytime i could be a wildflower soaking up the wind and the sun, but at night, i was alone, and scared, and insecure.

i described it then as a cage in my mind that i would lock myself away in to. to be less poetic, i was severely depressed.

and while i consider myself to be past the mental precipices i felt i stood on then, it feels like my body has never let the memory of it go.

im exhausted everyday. unmotivated. i have no desire to find friends. no desire to go out and experience the world anymore.

i have no idea what truly brings me joy. like a withering touch, every time i revisit a thing that i once loved, it shrivels like a wet leaf in the texas sun.

i think i found the feelings im running away from.

always there, just tucked away deep inside.

You Are Tired (I Think)

by E.E. Cummings

You are tired,
(I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing;
And so am I.

Come with me, then,
And we’ll leave it far and far away  —
(Only you and I, understand!)

You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and  —
Just tired.
So am I.

But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart  —
Open to me!
For I will show you the places Nobody knows,
And, if you like,
The perfect places of Sleep.

Ah, come with me!
I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,
That floats forever and a day;
I’ll sing you the jacinth song
Of the probable stars;
I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream,
Until I find the Only Flower,
Which shall keep (I think) your little heart
While the moon comes out of the sea.
