lingeringlilies:

Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.

This is a bad idea, I don’t like it at all. 

Very bad idea.  Do not support this platform.  There are details in the Read More.

URGENT!

WESTBORO BAPTIST IS ACTIVE IN NORMAN TODAY, AND THEY ARE BY NO MEANS WELCOME. THEY ARE PLANNING TO PROTEST THE FUNERALS OF CHILDREN KILLED IN THE RECENT TORNADO. SHOW THEM WHAT AN ANGRY OKIE IS LIKE, Y’ALL! 

REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG!

they can go fuck themselves

followers reblog this like hell okay

please

are you fucking kidding me

how the hell do you plan to protest the deaths of children who were killed by a tornado

FUCKING SIGNAL BOOST

Because obviously the kids did something SO sinful that God brought down the tornado and killed them, and giving them a proper funeral is totally the same thing as loving the sin.

I despise the way Westboro thinks.  This is actually not only Baptlist mentality, it’s Evangelist and extreme Catholic.

And look, one of her surnames is Phelps.  She is now one of my least-favorite people.  That entire family is stir crazy and so full of hatred I can’t even being to imagine how they live with themselves.

Fuck that, Benadryl is a GODSEND for my allergies.  I take it ONCE, and I’m good for the rest of the day, maybe the next if I’m feeling lucky.  It works better than Claritin for me, no joke. Besides, I took a look at the source, and most of those stories are from people who are either druggies or were being stupid at the time of their overdose. Benadryl still makes me too drowsy to work properly so I can’ use it anyway. Being half asleep and running a press is not a good thing. (Thankfully I don’t run the clicker press anymore, but now I’m an inspector so i have to be awake enough to catch bad product.) I know hun, I’m not knocking that.  People are different, and medications will work differently, and it’s up to the person to responsibly decide what to use and how much of it to take.  That’s why it’s always said you need to “use as directed” otherwise you get other side-effects from overdosage and stuff. It just bothered me that this post seemed to perpetuate a fear of the medicine as a whole with that little footnote there at the end simply because it has the potential.  Might as well tell everyone to swear off all OTCs cuz they all have that potential.

Fuck that, Benadryl is a GODSEND for my allergies.  I take it ONCE, and I’m good for the rest of the day, maybe the next if I’m feeling lucky.  It works better than Claritin for me, no joke. Besides, I took a look at the source, and most of those stories are from people who are either druggies or were being stupid at the time of their overdose. How does that negate the fact that at extremely high doses, hallucination occurs? So what if someone was being stupid? Admittedly, swearing off Benadryl altogether based on a likelihood of hallucinations at dosages too high for normal use is silly, but it isn’t like the user was advocating nobody take Benadryl. I just don’t get the vehemence here. It doesn’t, I was just taken aback that something like this would be enough to not only get people to stop taking it if they need to (cuz in the actual recommended dosage it’s very safe, and effective for some such as myself) and/or prevent people from ever taking it just because an OTC can potentially have this effect if taken in very high doses.  It’s just common sense, that’s no need to let something like this instill enough fear in a person that it keeps them from getting what they might medically need. And I think it was also the note about not ingesting Benadryl at all unless “medicinally prescribed”.  That’s a bad move on didyouknow’s part, because Benadryl is over-the-counter; therefore, literally any adult can get it, and you don’t even need a suggestion by a doctor to use it unless you’re playing it really safe because you’re unsure of how DPH might affect your body.  They’re more or less perpetuating a fear of an OTC that of course can have other effects in very high doses (the source has a story where someone took 700mg—28 25mg pills—and most others are in the 150 to 300mg range), but is safe to use in the actual dosage.  All people need to do is use it as directed and they’re fine.

And also… AND: “Yes, the Marines are often forced to get wet while standing outside the White House because they cannot hold an umbrella. Yes, the Marine Corps uniform regulations state a Marine cannot hold an umbrella. But Marine spokesman Capt.
