The most disturbing part of this Louis CK thing is that he literally confused women he assaulted. Like, he apologized for shoving someone in a bathroom but he had actually masturbated in front of her. Who did he shove in a bathroom?! What did he do to her?!! Is she ok?!
Jen Kirkman had been vocal about him being a creep for years.
shout out to my exec dysfunction ppl whose rooms are always a mess, who have weeks and weeks of dirty laundry lying around, who have trouble doing objectively “simple” chores and tasks, who get told that they’re lazy and just not trying and told that they need to do better. i know you are trying your best even when everything takes an enormous amount of effort or seems impossible. i love y’all
Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.
Miigwech (thank you) everyone. Working hard to at least get caught up and still coming up short, every little bit helps.
Miigwech (thank you) everyone for the reblogs, help, and kind words. Every month it seems it’s a fight to catch up and even though I know I’m not going to get ahead of it all I at least don’t want to get far behind.
Firstly, I am so sorry I never responded. I did not see this in my inbox until recently. Anyway, on to your question, I agree with it, but I’d like to expand.
It’s a little complicated, because while I wholeheartedly agree that everyone should be able to access medical care, I’m never going to be satisfied with the U.S. government being the hand that provides it, nor would I trust the entity that created so many of our problems to solve them. A lot of people conceive of “healthcare is a right” to basically mean we ought to look at the ACA and call that our solution without addressing the root problems with the US medical system. Putting a shoddily-designed bandage over the problem isn’t a solution.
If we’re talking about this in terms of rights: we should fight for a society in which no one has to go without medical care, but the only reason we live in such a world is due to persistent human rights violations in the first place. The disparities of wealth (and therefore healthcare access) that exist today did not pop into existence organically. It is violence that has led to these disparities, and violence that sustains them, and violence that lay at the root of why your zip code can alter life expectancy by years. Healthcare is a right precisely because people’s access to it is being actively impeded by politicians and businessmen who are maintaining unjust social relations by force, and people have the right to defend themselves from that.
We live in a world where states exist, and where states and healthcare as an industry are both predatory and exploitative. That world is not going away tomorrow. As such, having programs in the meantime to improve access for people is necessary, but I’m also not satisfied with those solutions long term, nor do I think they are effective or efficient, nor do I think you can adequately address the issue of healthcare access without first addressing the larger problems associated with capitalism in the United States.
Essential components of any fantasy rolepaying group:
The player who brings exactly the same swishy elf character to every table; 50% chance of wizard, 50% chance of bard, 100% chance of banging a dragon before the campaign is done.
The player who favours dwarves because they’re uncomfortable with speaking in character and dwarves aren’t expected to have personalities.
The player who thinks they’re cleverly subverting expectations by playing their halfling as a bloodthirsty, sexually promiscuous drug fiend, unaware that – thanks to players like them – literally 80% of all halfling player characters are like that.
The player who designs their character purely for novelty value – like, this time they’re a giant telepathic praying mantis, or whatever – yet inexplicably manages to have the deepest character arc out of anyone.
The player whose character’s stats honestly don’t matter because their real contribution to the party is being the only adult in the room.
More:
The perennial orc player who you’re pretty sure is using the game as a group therapy session to work through some sort of identity issue.
The player whose rogue’s complicated backstory and sinister secret
agenda never actually end up being relevant in play because they also
kept it a secret from the GM.
The player with a penchant for Lawful Goodish warrior types who thinks they’re the adult in the room, but really they just have a talent for making irresponsibly dangerous plans sound reasonable – even to themselves.
The player who insists on taking the most complicated race/class combo
the GM will allow, then later discovers that the reason they can’t hit
for shit is because they’re been rolling their attacks on a d12 all
night.
The player who rolls druids because they are a straight up furry.
