seriously I had some little TikTok teenybopper burst out laughing on my tour because I said that a historical figure was “most likely what we’d now call gay”

listen

you’re free to take a ouija board out to the cemetery and try to explain the dizzying array of current queer terms and get a solid answer as to how he identifies within that framework but 

until then, I’m going to continue NOT definitively assigning someone identity terms they didn’t self-identify with, and might not have even known, when I’m responsible for representing them faithfully and they’re not here to correct me. even more so when they’re part of my own community

I mean, you know, as long as that’s okay with you. Bestie.

Add “distress” to your pain scale

Pain scale? More like pain in the booty. No two people seem to read it the same way, and chronic folks tend to downplay their pain.

So here’s an idea: when asked to rate your pain, provide a number to rate your distress levels in addition to your pain levels.

Some examples:

“I’m at a 5 on the pain scale, but my distress is basically a 1 because this is my usual.”

“I’m at a 3 on the pain scale, but my distress is a 7 because this is new pain and affects a part of my body that’s very important to my work.”

It’s a great way to consider how your pain is impacting you—and to get a doctor’s attention where it’s actually needed.

the assholes will word thier titles innocently like “am i the asshole for not making my toddler the dinner they wanted?” and then its a detailed account of them poisoning and nearly killing thier child, while a post like “am i the asshole for throwing my mother in law off a cliff” is a story of heroism where the OP used the last of thier strength to push thier mother in law off a small cliff into a body of water to save her from a swarm of mutant acid flamethrower killer bees.

If you look, there is no actual bridge between 2 and 3: the tube is actually sealed, so the only jars that can receive water are 1, 2, 4 and 5.

In theory, this actually highly depends on the velocity of the water; those are incredibly thin tubes, so if the water came out very fast, 1 would fill up before it had a chance to drain.

If we assume the water is coming out at a reasonably sluggish pace, enough for it to push through the tubes before 1 can be fully filled, the way fluids like to work means the fluid level will try to equalise in every container, so two will start to fill up, which will fill up four and five, and they should rise in level at an equal pace. However, because 5 has the lowest volume, if they all increase at an equal pace 5 will fill first.

This is also loss.jpg, but that’s not relevant.

4 can’t fill up because it has a HOLE IN IT
