Erase the stigma.

My favorite less confrontational tactic for dealing with this shit is to politely point out that without my meds, I would be dead.

There is inevitable backpedaling and much hee-hawing about how it’s “fine for SOME people” but is “overused”.

To which my response is “what qualifies you to judge that?” followed by “statements like this helped contribute to my delaying necessary health care, and made me ashamed. I could have died. You like me. Would you rather I weren’t here?”

That’s the less confrontational version.

I usually just let them have it with both barrels. Cause this shit is toxic and needs to be destroyed.

I appreciate that phrasing. It’s what got my dad off my back finally - he’s always been anti meds, until the day he made a crack about “happy pills” and I snapped “ok well, those pills are keeping me alive. If you like me being that way, shut up about them.”

And I mean, these images don’t even take into account someone like me. The outdoors is absolutely a mental health support for me…but going to the redwoods is not, never has been, never will be, a substitute for the medication that keeps my broken brain functional. I need both because they fulfill entirely different mental health needs.

If anyone ever says something about how antidepressants are not necessary or “overused” or some other BULLSHIT, politely (or not politely, I don’t care) ask them whether they believe that all diabetics should forgo insulin, since some diabetics can control their blood sugar relatively well with diet/exercise. If they say no, they’re probably an asshole.

So I dunno how many people know this but if you go to burgerking and order anything at all off the menu, even just a drink, you get two little surveys on the back of the receipt

Each survey can get you a free whopper burger or a chicken sandwich with the purchase of any drink (even the $1 drink)

Just fill out the survey and get the code and write it on the back.

If you are short on money and really need a substantial meal, you can keep doing this cycle of getting receipts and free sandwiches for as long as you like

Idk I thought this might help people who are hard up for cash. This works in the US.

reblog 2 save a hungry tummy maybe?

these surveys actually saved me as a child growing up with a neglectful, mentally ill mother. shout out 2 every hood burger king

So many fast food places have the surveys on the receipt. McDonald’s, Panda Express, Taco Bell, etc…. Seriously. Use them.

The issue is always Baby Boomers vs Millennials. What happened to the Gen X-ers? I’m just curious.

I’m sort of on the line between the two, though closer to the Gen X end, I think. Have the Gen X-ers sort of been absorbed by one side or the other? Or are they (we?) just staying silent and staying out of it? Honestly, that kinda sounds like a Gen X thing to do.

Dear Millennials,

morganoperandi:

Do you hate the way Baby Boomers talk about you?  Well, I want you to remember something:

The Baby Boomers were also the generation of the Hippies.  And the so-called Greatest Generation said the exact same things about the Baby Boomers as the Baby Boomers say about Millennials.

The exact same things.  The only thing missing was the word “selfie”.

Hippies/Baby Boomers were called lazy and entitled.  They were called selfish and self-important.  They were treated as if they didn’t know how to work or show proper respect for their elders and everybody thought that they wanted some sort of special treatment.  The Baby Boomers were perceived as this group who thought everything was all about them.  If you asked the Baby Boomer Hippies, at the time, they’d say they were just exploring sexuality and fighting racism and trying to do away with the old ways because the old ways weren’t working.  They fought and they protested and they were passionate.

Then, to borrow a phrase from The Dark Knight, “you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain.”  That’s what happened to the Baby Boomers.  But, there’s a third option.

Remember.

Remember what this feels like.  Remember what it’s like to be in your teens and twenties.  Remember that it’s not easy.  Remember everything the past generation says about you.

Because there will come a day when the Millennials are in their 30s and 40s and 50s.  Where the President and Congress will all be Millennials.  Where you will be the establishment.  You will be in charge.

And there will be people of your generation, your age group, who will look at the Post-Millennials and say “Look at how selfish and disrespectful they are!  What is wrong with their music?  What is wrong with their hair?  They can’t be separated from their technology for one second, can they?!  People in my generation knew how to work hard!  They weren’t lazy and entitled like these kids are!”

It will happen.  Don’t let it.

Fight it.  Fight for yourselves now but, when you’re older, fight for the next generation.

Break the cycle.

If you hate the way you’re treated by the older generation and the media, then remember that and don’t do it to the ones who come after you.

Extremely true.

typopandas: Chicken nugget's wings look disproportioned and I don't think he'll be able to survive in the wild due to his handicap. Maybe keep him?

Yeahh I’m pretty sure that his left wing is deformed. It hasn’t straightened out and his Chrysalis was a little whack

I’m worried. He flies like a dork- a little frantic and uneven, but he can still fly. I don’t have any means of keeping him though so I’m not sure what to do
Any suggestions for a handicapped yet handsome butterfly?

hi, i think chicken nugget might be a chimera! a chimera is an organism with cells from two different zygotes, usually a result of a merging of sibling zygotes during gestation. anyway this can result in organisms with both male and female cells, and in animals with sexual dimorphism like many butterflies, having a “split” like chicken nugget is common!

here’s an example of a butterfly chimera with a split:

and here is the sexual dimorphism of spicebush swallowtails, with the male on the left and the female on the right:

image

male spicebush swallowtails are also smaller than the female, which would account for the size difference of chicken nuggets…chicken wings

as far as flight ability and care goes, i have no clue, but congrats on your beautiful new child!!

CHICKEN WING IS BREAKING THE BINARY oh my god oh my god thank you for this info my bro is a fucking hella rad chimera non fuckig binary,, oh my god
We’re nb bros I can’t believe this

So apparently Target is selling small cards against humanity expansion packs! They have fantasy, WWE, etc. but most importantly…

image

the retail pack.

now look at this:

image

this says i get an instant 1$ rebate. and it’s on the inside. that mean i get a dollar back instantly! now just how exactly did they do that?

image

they put a dollar inside. a literal actual dollar. imagine my reaction when i saw a dollar inside of this little package, cause it was literally the first thing i saw.

When i saw the post that said they hid a card inside the lid of the ‘bigger blacker box’ i was a bit skeptical.

I am no longer skeptical.

the people that make this game are absolutely ridiculous.

(btw, the pack cost 4$. 3$ if you count the dollar you get back)

Always believe whatever Cards Against Humanity say when they tell you something about a pack. These are the people who sold literal Bullshit on Black Friday back in 2014.
