the most unrealistic thing about harry potter

is that no teacher ever called him James by accident, or that Ron never was called “Bill-, eh Charl-, no Per-, argh!”
As a younger sister who knows this struggle all too well: THIS IS REAL. Pretty sure 70% of my past teachers still think I’m called what my sister is called in fact.
Imagine Fred being called Percy by McGonagall accidentally and then he gets so offended that he refers to her by “Professor [insert any other name but McGonagall” for the rest of the year, costing Gryffindor a considerable amount of points one at a time.
From then on, she vows to just call them all Mr Weasley.
Until Ginny comes along and she calls her Mr Weasley by accident and Ginny “accidentally’ calls her Sir and it starts again.
It’s lightly off-topic but also slightly relevant but I have long cherished this mental image of Professor Snape saying something snappish to Harry in just the wrong tone of voice and Harry absentmindedly, wearily, and completely accidentally responding with, “Yes, Aunt Petunia.”

This week’s current issue in mental health: the price of medication.
With numerous people sharing stories about how medication was the first step when they were getting help, we wanted to point out how the cost of these treatments is prohibitive especially for people without insurance.

[Edit] As many people have pointed out these are the costs of brand name medications. Always ask your doctor if there is a generic brand available because they are often much cheaper!

Let’s Talk About The Crying Game

secretgamergirl:

This morning I woke up to an ongoing conversation in my Twitter mentions where a couple people were debating whether The Crying Game has merits that outweigh the lasting harm it’s inflicted on trans women in general. I jumped in to explain the exact form that harm took, educating and rightly horrifying the person who had previously been playing devil’s advocate for the film. I love clearing up disconnects like that and leaving people more aware of serious issues, and I figure this one is plenty common, so let’s get into it here too.

When John Mulaney was a newsie, his nickname was Kid Gorgeous

No offense but the original Jason Todd resurrection story where he literally has to dig himself out of his grave, and all he can say is “where’s bruce” as he literally collapses in the road and then slowly learns what’s happened since he died and that is what makes him go all shooty is so much fucking better than the ‘lazarus pit made him crazy’ bullshit that lobdell pulled.
