almost definitely dying

this honestly just came out of left fucking field i would have never expected to hear anything like this in this show. consider me Pleasantly Surprised tbh

This was the autism episode

people seem to forget that house was a multiply disabled man, so it should be a given that he’d be against eugenics and eugenicist doctors

I pointed this out the last time this post started circulating, but House is explicitly disabled because Cuddy didn’t take him seriously about his pain until it was too late to save his leg muscle, and then she tried to convince him to cut it off so he could have a “normal” life with a prosthesis. He’s quite literally a walking display of what happens when doctors refuse to listen to patients who don’t communicate in a socially acceptable manner, and the reason he gets away with so much stuff is because Cuddy knows he doesn’t share her blind spot when it comes to putting the wellbeing of the patient above everything else, fuck protocol, fuck insurance, fuck liability, fuck the Hippocratic Oath, this person is in pain right now, everything else can go to hell until their pain stops.

I’m stealing prev’s tags because they’re good and correct:

Let people self describe their experiences. Even if they choose to words you don’t like. You don’t have to apply those same words to yourself, but you do have to respect people’s right to self description. It’s about autonomy. And for House, specifically, it’s autonomy that he lost a piece of due to medical malpractice. He wasn’t able to make any decisions to fix his leg pain, but he can damn well talk about his current existence in the way he pleases, because nobody can take that from him. He had no control over his leg, but he can control how how talks about it.

And that’s a lesson for people in general. You don’t have to like that I call myself queer - but you do need to respect that that’s the word I want applied to me.

I have friends who are disabled in a variety of ways. How they speak about their disabilities isn’t always how I would be inclined to speak about them, but it’s their disability, not mine. So they get to make that decision, not me.

People deserve the autonomy to self describe, and they deserve to have that respected.

I'm not saying you should download and read the CIA's guide to constantly introducing chaos and disorder to fight an oppressive regime, but I mean, they have posted it on their website, so...

Bro wake up 116 new genders just dropped

My gender

ah, yes

never gets old.

I lived and worked in a lighthouse at a previous job.  There was a thick line painted in a circle around the shack where the fog signal was kept.  The line represented how close you could get to the fog signal without experiencing physical harm in the form of eardrums shattering or worse.

Even in the house it was LOUD.  Probably the loudest thing I have ever experienced but at a normal, predictable interval.  You would begin to time your sentences with little pauses with the rest of the lighthouse crew so you would talk like this while making your………..HORN…………. tea and then carry on talking because you knew when it would go off.  It rattled the walls and the dishes in our cabinet.

At least one girl had died there. They kept photos of her everywhere “in honor of her sacrifice” because she had decided to take the winter watch alone and died in a storm where bounders the size of mini vans had been lifted out of the ocean and left scattered across the island, to say nothing of the ice chunks.  People weren’t allowed to be alone on the watch after that.

One day a dead moose washed up on shore and it took my entire crew all day but we managed to rig up a line to hang it up to dry because we thought having a moose skeleton in the house would really spice the living room up a bit.  It did.  Weird shit happens when six of you are left alone, like ALONE ALONE, no cell reception, no wifi, just a radio to contact the real world and not a lot of reason to do that.  People don’t go on lighthouse jobs if they want to stay connected, I’ve found.

That said Id do it all again, I really do treasure those days

you know you could’ve just said “no they don’t have wifi” and that would’ve answered the question

But then you wouldnt have known about the moose

This is because snow doesn't bounce sound waves like concrete does. When the world is like this it's LITERALLY quieter. The snow muffles sound

Time to remember this marvelous tweet

Literally same

motherfucker said PROFESSIONAL

Here on tumblr we are all professionals.

No wonder Elon hates Wikipedia so much then X) (apart from the obvious I mean).

where's that masterpost of quotes that have no right going as hard as they do. I'd like to submit "Protagonism is best left to teens and the insane"

> a female

Look I'm not gonna lie, but getting soft-silicon ice trays was a game changer for me. Fucking amazing.

Sometimes, "stupid" adult stuff is really just very nice and can make you very happy.
