Tumblr staff doing some kind of high-art Theatre of Cruelty in their web design. “You will not be able to tell where the posts are coming form, they will come relentlessly. We will turn off your accessibility settings. There will be….a clown.” Regret to say they are the avant garde

Important addition: Maria Skłodowska-Curie was born during partitions, which means Poland didn’t exist, which means her insistence that she was Polish was a significant act of defiance against the occupation, which means that you should respect that instead of arguing that ‘well she had French citizenship’. She couldn’t have Polish citizenship despite being Polish, that’s kinda the point she was making by keeping her maiden name and naming a chemical element she discovered ‘Polonium’ .
HOW TO PRONOUNCE: Skłodowska

“I can’t believe this aired” (gay as fuck)
you ever read poetry and it’s like. i need to run little circles around my room I need to lay down I need to cry I need to scream I need to laugh hysterically I need to tell everyone I know that I love them I need to catapult myself to space and become a meteor

so many doctor behaviours are 100% comprehensible if you understand that medicine under capitalism is biopolitical in nature & 0% comprehensible if you think it is a humanitarian effort untainted by money and politics lol
“i can’t believe doctors are pushing this thing that flies in the face of available evidence / is potentially harmful just because it is popular with industry lobbies and the state” yes. assume capitalist medicine is functioning as intended; revolution or bust; &c
