ok so I don’t usu reblog this stuff here but last year I had a horrible experience with an Airbnb host who threatened to bust my kneecaps, stalk me and murder me right? And not only did I GO TO THE POLICE before cancelling the reservation, but I also provided copies of that documentation to Airbnb customer service (I should mention after hunting down that number in the depths of the stupid internet and being on hold for an hour). Did they give me a refund for the months I’d paid in advance? No - they accused me of lying! 
A few weeks later in a fit of desperation, a coworker suggested I tweet to Airbnb. Ok. I have maybe 30 followers on Twitter, and didn’t really use it at the time, but I thought, fuck it. Nothing to lose now. I made a half assed attempt at an overly indignant tweet with plenty of capitalization, and you know what happened? 
Within the HOUR. It was taken down. I was DMed by a CSR. And I was given a FULL. REFUND. 
$1500 like THAT. 
I don’t know what kind of dystopic fucking reality we live in where police reports mean nothing and the PR value from a half assed tweet to 30 followers outweighs the safety of my kneecaps, but. Social media… Lesson learned, I guess.


Rebooting this addition because holy shit???

European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, the first 
Italian woman in space, took a moment to celebrate Captain Janeway at 
around 250 miles above Earth. (CNET) (twitter)
i bet someone else has already posted this by now but i thought it was really cool bc now we officially have had a cosplay selfie in space lmao
also apparently this marks the first time a star trek uniform’s actually been worn in space i heard??? which is also awesome



She did it again today! Also, in the picture she’s drinking coffee brewed with an espresso machine specifically engineered to work on the International Space Station - the ISSpresso (made in Italy!).



The most amusing thing about this is that, at current launch prices, it costs in the neighbourhood of $4000 per pound to send stuff to the International Space Station. Eyeballing that uniform’s weight at about two pounds, this means that before Ms. Cristoforetti could take cosplay selfies on the ISS, she first had to propose to her nation’s space agency, with a straight face, that they should approve an extra eight grand to send that uniform up there with her in the first place - and that they agreed that this was, in fact, an appropriate use of their funding.
Neeeeeeeerds.

MY PEOPLE 

This is awesome.

I love Nerds in Space.
All praise to Ms. Cristoforetti for making the dream come true.

Rebooting this addition because holy shit???

Corporations care way more about their brand than your safety. Exploit that.


I had to send an angry tweet at my power company. Within twenty minutes, I was getting a phone call, and my problem was fixed by the time I left the massage appointment I had. 

Okay so this is important and all but original post is a joke that’s literally a picture of Harry Styles lol

 We were sitting on the floor of the bathroom
 watching YouTube Kids to distract him from the
 bleed, when I saw it.
 It was a simple, innocent cartoon until it
 happened.
 Four minutes and forty-five seconds into the
 video, a man quickly walked onto the screen,
 held his arm out, and taught the children
 watching this video how to properly kill
 themselves. What did I just see? Did I really just
 see that? I immediately turned off the video. My
 son's nose stopped bleeding, and I further
 investigated the video in private while he went to
 play. I watched it again, certain that I had
 dreamt it up. I know YouTube had some sick
 videos, but I thought YouTube Kids was safe.
 They sure make it seem like it is.
 But no. There it was again. Four minutes and
 forty-five seconds into the video. The man
 quickly walked in, held his arm out, and tracing

 quickly walked in, held his arm out, and tracing
 his forearm, said, "Kids, remember, cut this way
 for attention, and this way for results," and then
 quickly walked off.
 Not much shocks me. I'm a physician, I work in
 the emergency department. I've seen a lot.
 But this did.
 This video was intentionally planted on YouTube
 Kids to harm our children. He waited until
 parents' guards were down, thinking their kids
 were just watching a harmless cartoon when he
 made his entrance four minutes and forty-five

 What else do our children seen on these apps?
 I reported the video and asked my friends and
 family to report. Hours later though, it is still
 up, and I wonder how many children have seen
 this video since. Those apps are all now deleted
 and will never return to our household.
 I am disturbed, I am saddened, I am disgusted.
 But I am also relieved that I was there to see
 this video with my own eyes, so that I could take
 the appropriate actions to protect my family. I
 would recommend everyone reading this to take
 these same steps as well.
 Today I was grateful for my son's nosebleed.
 UPDATE: PediMom was able to get this
 particular video removed from YouTube Kids
 therefore it is no longer ahle tn he viewed This

        Advice, Being Alone, and Amazon: Positive feedback makes me
 write more. And writing more
 makes me a better writer. I've
 received a fair amount of
 negative comments, and
 EVERY one of them has
 simply made me give up
 writing for a while. Sometimes
 months

        Advice, Animals, and Arthur: ATANISM represents kindness to those who de
 serve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
 You cannot love everyone; it is ridiculous to think
 you can. If you love everyone and everything you lose
 your natural powers of selection and wind up being a
 pretty poor judge of character and quality. If anything
 is used too freely it loses its true meaning. Therefore,
 the Satanist believes you should love strongly and com
 pletely chose who deserve your love, but never turn the other
 cheek to your enemy!
 Love is one of the moet nt

The more I learn about Satanism, the less horrendous it seems. Not even kidding.

That’s cause non-theistic Satanism is more about worshipping yourself and sorta treating others how you want to be treated etc

hail satan

satanism is actually really solid like the Fifth Satanic Rule of the Earth says not to make sexual advances unless you are given consent 

satan seems like a pretty nice guy

This week on “I didn’t know I was a Satanist”

Wait till you hear the Nine Satanic Sins
1. Stupidity
2. Pretentiousness
3. Solipsism
4. Self-deceit
5. Herd conformity
6. Lack of perspective
7. Forgetfulness of past orthodoxies
8. Counterproductive pride
9. Lack of aesthetics
That’s right. If you ain’t got no style, you be sinning.

*converts to Satanism*

it mentioned a rule above, but i havent seen the rest of the satanic rules posted here, so…
1: Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked
2: Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them
3: When in another’s home, show them respect or else do not go there
4: If a guest in your home annoys you, treat them cruelly and without mercy
5: Do not make sexual advantages unless you are given the mating signal
6: Do not take which does not belong to you, unless it is a burden to the other person and they cry out to be relieved
7: Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it to successfully obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will loose all you have obtained.
8: Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9: Do not harm young children.
10: Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11: When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask them to stop. If they do not stop, destroy them.

Today in ‘Shit, lets be Satan.’


I’m a catholic christian but this made more sense than some of the stuff in the bible does!


I don’t usually post things like this on my blog but I thought it’d be important for people to know that:
Satanists DO NOT worship Satan. “Satan” is the latin root for “the one whom opposes”. The name was purposlly chosen to piss off Christians. Satanists are opposed to everything religious, which means that they do not believe in God, therefore, they do not believe in Satan either. The misconceptions of Satanism come from the movies where you see people sacrificing goats and all that stuff, but it is not true. I have read the Satanic Bible. I can assure you that they do not believe in anything religious.


Throwing this back up here because I’m thinking about leading with it at the family reunion.

wow it’s kinda like perking your head outside a window they always told you would be dangerous, and instead… you find only another view, interesting

                    Advice, Animals, and Arthur: ATANISM represents kindness to those who de
 serve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
 You cannot love everyone; it is ridiculous to think
 you can. If you love everyone and everything you lose
 your natural powers of selection and wind up being a
 pretty poor judge of character and quality. If anything
 is used too freely it loses its true meaning. Therefore,
 the Satanist believes you should love strongly and com
 pletely chose who deserve your love, but never turn the other
 cheek to your enemy!
 Love is one of the moet nt

The more I learn about Satanism, the less horrendous it seems. Not even kidding.

That’s cause non-theistic Satanism is more about worshipping yourself and sorta treating others how you want to be treated etc

hail satan

satanism is actually really solid like the Fifth Satanic Rule of the Earth says not to make sexual advances unless you are given consent 

satan seems like a pretty nice guy

This week on “I didn’t know I was a Satanist”

Wait till you hear the Nine Satanic Sins
1. Stupidity
2. Pretentiousness
3. Solipsism
4. Self-deceit
5. Herd conformity
6. Lack of perspective
7. Forgetfulness of past orthodoxies
8. Counterproductive pride
9. Lack of aesthetics
That’s right. If you ain’t got no style, you be sinning.

*converts to Satanism*

it mentioned a rule above, but i havent seen the rest of the satanic rules posted here, so…
1: Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked
2: Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them
3: When in another’s home, show them respect or else do not go there
4: If a guest in your home annoys you, treat them cruelly and without mercy
5: Do not make sexual advantages unless you are given the mating signal
6: Do not take which does not belong to you, unless it is a burden to the other person and they cry out to be relieved
7: Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it to successfully obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will loose all you have obtained.
8: Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9: Do not harm young children.
10: Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11: When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask them to stop. If they do not stop, destroy them.

Today in ‘Shit, lets be Satan.’


I’m a catholic christian but this made more sense than some of the stuff in the bible does!


I don’t usually post things like this on my blog but I thought it’d be important for people to know that:
Satanists DO NOT worship Satan. “Satan” is the latin root for “the one whom opposes”. The name was purposlly chosen to piss off Christians. Satanists are opposed to everything religious, which means that they do not believe in God, therefore, they do not believe in Satan either. The misconceptions of Satanism come from the movies where you see people sacrificing goats and all that stuff, but it is not true. I have read the Satanic Bible. I can assure you that they do not believe in anything religious.

No. Just no. Ok?
So I used to make this joke all the time. Now I have chronic tinnitus. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s nerve damage in your ears which often comes as a result of being constantly exposed to very loud noise for a long period of time. The nerve damage results in a constant ringing/buzzing in your ears. So far there’s no cure. The severity of it varies, and I’m lucky to have a mild case, which I can barely hear during the day and is easy to block out at night. That said, loads of people with tinnitus aren’t so lucky. Severe tinnitus can’t be blocked out. Those who suffer from it also suffer from severe loss of sleep, depression, anxiety…. the list goes on. Tinnitus also comes with a degree of hearing loss in most cases, making it even harder to ignore. In fact, some people with severe tinnitus kill themselves just to make the ringing stop. Tinnitus can be so severe that it drives a person to suicide. Chronic tinnitus used to mostly be prevalent in older people who worked for years with loud machinery etc, but all of a sudden it’s becoming more common in our generation. Why? Because of people, like me, who listened to their music too goddamn loudly through their headphones.
Deaf by the time you’re 20? Please. That’s the least of your worries.


Please reblog. This post reminded me to move my music further away and turn it down. Someone else may need to be more cautious of their shit too.


Chronic mild tinnitus here, too, due to too many metal concerts in my youth.  Turn your headphones down a little.  Wear earplugs at concerts.  Protect your ears.


Your eyes have an iris that can shrink down, and eyelids that can squint shut, to protect them from light that is too bright. Your ears have NOTHING to block out sounds that are too loud. It’s up to you.

Tinnitus sufferer from drumline in high school checking in. These days I wear earplugs at concerts, rehearsals,  clubs, and even movies sometimes.   Get yourself a set that look like these ones:

Etymotics Research was one of the first companies I’m aware of to widely market with this 
sort of ear plug, and they’re great, because they reduce noise fairly 
evenly across the spectrum, and so you hear everything accurately, just 
quieter.  While they’re certainly more expensive than the foam earplugs 
that you see everywhere, they also are washable and last for months and 
months, and sound great, if not better than without  for live music.  Please protect your ears.  There is no way to recover lost 
hearing.




Apparently I had this. I just thought silence was a ringing sound

you also might have even been “born” with this. a lot of people with sensory issues (especially autistic or ADD/ADHD people) experience this when it’s silent around them but havent actually hurt their ears with music at all.
so its also a sensory processing thing and you can be “born” with it (aka develop with it in childhood) like i have


Wait I thought that ringing was normal?? I hear ringing when its dead silent are you seriously saying my ADHD causes this???? I thought everyone had that???!!??!

normal people dont have that ringing noise. while it’s minor in cases of sensory development issues from developmental disorders, it can be severe if a person with a developmental disorder listens to loud music. i know that sometimes during a sensory overload from autism, the ringing will become terribly loud


Oh lord ok. Be careful with loud noises. Gotcha. I didnt realize not everyone hears that ringing. I thought it was normal so I never asked if anyone else heard it too. Thanks for the warning about loud music! Ive always tried to avoid going to concerts because of the ringing but I thought it was a thing everyone put up with and that I was being a wimp. Im glad I have an explanation!

That’s why the ringing gets louder?

when is was like 5 i thought it was like, a normal constant sound that came with being alive on a populous planet/in the universe, kinda like gravity or light or smthn, until I figured out that other people can actually hear silence


When people talked about the sound of silence I thought that’s what they meant. But yeah I’ve had it for as long as I can remember.

i’m autistic and i used to play in a punk band and go to a lot of rock shows in the 90′s. the ringing is always there. it always will be. could drive me crazy if i let it, but i’m a practical type, so i just deal. but you don’t want this if you don’t have to have it. turn your shit down, y’all.
