Parts of the country where self-service gas pumping is illegal.

I didn’t know about New Jersey’s law so imagine my shock when a pump jockey sprinted at my car and kicked my door shut when I tried to get out to get gas. I rolled down my window and asked him “Is there a law against pumping your own gas or something?” And he looked at me like I’M nuts and just said “…yes?”
am i insane or should masks be mandated for hospitals as a permanent installation. a forever institution. always. covid is an irrelevant factor when hospitals are always full of both very sick and very immunocompromised people..?
so if you turn blazing off, and then you log in to tumblr desktop and scroll habitually with the space bar, and then you accidentally agree to the blaze pop-up: it makes your posts blazeable even if in your settings you have it set to not let your posts be blazed. if you visit your settings, it will show that you have blaze off. but your posts are still apparently blazeable.
if you accidentally agree to the blaze pop-up after turning blaze off, you have to manually turn post blazing on and off again, even if it still says you have post blazing off in your settings.
so it looks like even after you turn off having any of your posts be blazeable, future posts after you toggle the blaze switch off might still be blazeable by default, even if you did not select that option in the blaze settings. you have to manually opt out of having your posts be blazeable on every single new post, OR you have to switch blazing your posts on then off again after every time you make a batch of new posts.
this might be a bug on only certain types of posts. it looks like asks for example are blazeable by default even if you have blaze settings off everywhere else? anyone else want to test this
alright. after some initial testing:
if you answer asks on desktop, they default to being blazeable, even if you have all blaze turned off. if you answer asks on mobile, they respect your settings. this will surely be broken in other ways. rest assured this is only the beginning
I hate the cosmetic surgery industry for so many reasons I really do. But the line between cosmetic and medically necessary plastic surgeries is as a cloud, and we cannot sacrifice bodily autonomy for bans so. We need to dismantle white supremacy and the patriarchy in order to effectively tackle the issue. I should be able to get elective top surgery without medicalising my transness you get?
I had a breast reduction when I was 16. I was so top heavy that my back had started spasming badly by the time I was 12, if I hadn’t been able to get my reduction, I would’ve been in more extreme pain for much longer. The relief was almost instant. Just one example of medically necessary plastic surgery, in case people aren’t sure what that looks like.
Medically necessary plastic surgery also includes removing excess skin when someone loses a lot of weight: skin folds can become infected. Burn victims’ skin grafts, those are plastic surgery too. The field covers a lot more than people think.
Harold Gillies, now considered to be the father of modern plastic surgery, developed most of his techniques (many of which are still in use today) specifically to reconstruct the faces of men who'd been injured in WW1.
Advances in weaponry meant that, for the first time, men were coming home from war with literally half their faces blown off, on a regular basis. This was not only traumatic— there were cases of men cancelling engagements or being afraid to see their families, because of their disfigurements— but also caused problems with every day tasks like speaking and eating, in which your face plays a pretty key role.
Gillies arranged for a whole ward, and later a hospital, to be dedicated to the treatment of these men, and took steps to ensure that all soldiers who received these kinds of injuries on the battlefield would be sent to him directly. He developed methods for applying skin grafts so that larger portions of the face could be repaired.
He continued his work treating wounded soldiers throughout WW1 and WW2, and when both wars were ended— just in case he hadn't done enough to establish himself as a full on hero— he was then approached by a medical student named Michael Dillon, a trans man, and was able to use the same techniques he'd developed to reconstruct the penises of wounded soldiers to give him a phalloplasty. The first one ever performed on a trans man. He even diagnosed the guy with a condition to explain the frequent operations, so as to avoid outing him.
Dillon later wrote a book about trans-ness, which inspired Roberta Cowell, who became the first British transwoman to get a vaginoplasty, also performed by Gillies.
In both cases, the techniques he developed were still being used in similar operations decades later. Gillies himself stated that he wanted no publicity for performing these operations, saying that "If it gives real happiness, that is the most that any surgeon or medicine can give.”
Yes it’s very important for solidarity with workers but, and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, workers should have solidarity with poor customers. Like ignore shoplifting, be sensitive when ppl are using EBT cards, that kinda thing.
If you work retail and you worry about shoplifters I beg you to remember how little money you’re being paid to do this
and also no matter what your boss says to you, someone shoplifting will not cause your wages to be docked. if it DOES, then you can get in contact with a labor attourney, who will proceed to light up like a kid at christmas because they (and you) are about to get a big fat payday. that shit is ridiculously illegal.
Gotta wonder how close the “faithful adaptation” Harry Potter show will be when it’s time to make fun of Hermione for opposing slavery
Oh we can test this even earlier. We just gotta see if that werewolf is still a metaphor for gay men that give people AIDS on purpose.
Before that even. Are the goblins still antisemitic caricatures.
nothing hits the spot like sitting still with your arms crossed and looking around and not talking
